Wow. This and other similar responses make me believe I do something seriously wrong but my experience is quite different. I normally have Hamster Filer, a terminal window and about 4 Leafpad instances open at any time, day or night. Sometimes a browser window or two. And the keyboard open.

Suddenly the phone rings. 5 times out of 10, it takes so long for Phone UI to pop up that it stops ringing and I miss the call.

Does QSlideAnswer help? No! In some cases, it makes it even worse. Especially when the keyboard is open. It competes with Phone UI and I can see the screen flipping between the two. Eventually, even if QSlideAnswer wins, answering by sliding is so confusing compared to a simple button press that inevitably end up missing the call again.

In addition, the name thatm shows up seems rather random. In about 7 cases out of 10, my daughter's name shows up. She is 6 and does not have a phone number. I keep her in Contacts for the birthday reminders. The funny thing is that her name does not show up only for incoming calls with hidden numbers, but seemingly randomly for any incoming calls.

Consequently, I regret to say that I ended up uninstaling the app. I still miss some incoming calls but at least I do not get the confusion with how to answer them and with the names.
