I need a super simple phone app for the Samsung Galaxy S5

CDavis504 · Aug 2, 2015

Hi yall,

My grandmother has a Samsung Galaxy S5 through AT&T and she can't seem to grasp the whole concept of dragging the green circle across the screen to answer her phone, so I am trying to find a simple phone app to install on her phone.

If you have any ideas please let me know.

Thank You,
CDavis504

That is a bit tricky but there may be an easy fix. On my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 under "Phone (ie the app) / Menu / Call settings" I have an option called "Call answering / ending ". With that selected I can opt to use the "Home" key to answer calls. There is also an option there to use the power key to end calls.

Let us know how you get on.

Just for clarification because there are literally apps for everything, lol, you are looking for another way for your Grandmother to be able to answer her phone other than the usual way??

@ hiredgun: Yes, that is correct. I was thinking a different phone app would be the best option, but I could be wrong about that.

Now that we cleared that up maybe one of these would help, supposedly you don't even have to touch the screen to answer!!

That would work, but it's not quite what I am looking for. I am trying to find a replacement dialer that has an actual on screen answer and end call button, instead of the circle that you have to slide across the screen (she cannot grasp that concept for some reason).

Doesn't the phone have a "not locked" setting for screen security?

You lost me on this one EarlyMon, I tried to PM you but for the life of me I can't figure out how, lol. This was a S5 thread and it got moved to a "please help me find more puzzle games for my phone" thread by a different OP. Did I miss something or was there a MISfunction at the junction? Lol. Just asking because I was following this thread to see if the guy found something for his granny.

I moved an off topic post to a new thread and it wasn't clear that they got the private notice - so while they were looking here, I reposted the notice.

This thread didn't change otherwise, not by me.
