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.

manage the call. For example, you can decide to reject the call with a message or forward the

call to the answering machine.
