Receiving calls

If you receive an incoming call when the device is in sleep mode or the screen is
locked, the phone application opens in fullscreen format. If you receive an incoming
call when the screen is active, the incoming call is displayed as a floating notification,
that is, in a minimised window that floats at the top of whatever screen is open. When
such a notification arrives, you can choose to answer the call and open the phone
application screen, or you can reject the call and stay on the current screen.
To answer an incoming call when the screen is inactive
•
Drag to the right.

Rejecting a call with a text message
You can reject a call with a text message. When you reject a call with such a
message, the message is automatically sent to the caller and stored in the Messaging
conversation with the contact.
You can select from a number of predefined messages available on your device, or
you can create a new message. You can also create your own personalised
messages by editing the predefined ones.
