Restart the device: This is one of the simplest and most common solutions to any device issue. To restart the device, simply press and hold the power button until you see an option to restart or shut down.<br \/>\n2. Check for software updates: If your device is not running on the latest version of its operating system, it may be time for a software update. To check for available updates, go to Settings > System > Advanced > System Update > Check for Updates.<br \/>\n3. Clear cached data: Cached data stored in your device can occasionally cause issues with performance and functionality. To clear it out, go to Settings > Storage &#038; USB > Cached Data and select &#8220;OK&#8221; when prompted to confirm deletion of cached data from all apps on the phone.<br \/>\n4. Reset network settings: Network settings that have been changed or corrupted can also interfere with proper functioning of your Android phone&#8217;s functions and features such as Wi-Fi connectivity or Bluetooth pairing attempts with other devices in range. To reset them back to their defaults, go to Settings > System> Reset Options> Reset Wi-Fi, Mobile &#038; Bluetooth> Reset Settings> Reset Network Settings> Confirm Selection (this will delete saved networks).<br \/>\n5. Uninstall recently installed apps: If recent app downloads are interfering with how your phone operates, then uninstalling those apps might help restore normal functionality again; going into settings>apps\/app manager should provide an option for uninstalling them individually or all at once if desired (be aware that this will also delete all related user data associated with each app).<br \/>\n6. Factory reset: As a last resort if none of these other steps work out then performing a factory reset may get things back up and running properly again; keep in mind though that this will wipe everything from the device including personal files so make sure you&#8217;ve backed up any important information before proceeding by going into settings>system>reset options>factory data reset (again confirming selection once prompted).  <\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"us0SovCG7RI\" playlabel=\"Play: Keynote (Google I\/O '18)\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_answer_an_incoming_call_on_my_Android_phone\"><\/span>How do I answer an incoming call on my Android phone?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"kDqMsrH3U0o\" playlabel=\"Play: Keynote (Google I\/O '18)\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_fix_not_being_able_to_answer_the_phone\"><\/span>How do I fix not being able to answer the phone?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re having trouble answering the phone, there are a few steps you can take to help fix this issue. <\/p>\n<p>1. Make sure your phone is charged and turned on &#8211; This is an obvious first step, but it should be checked in case your phone isn&#8217;t receiving calls due to low battery or being switched off. <\/p>\n<p>2. Check if you have enough signal &#8211; If you don&#8217;t have a strong enough signal, calls may not be able to come through properly which could explain why you&#8217;re unable to answer them. Try moving around to see if you can get better reception in other areas or making sure nothing else is blocking the signal (e.g.: thick walls). <\/p>\n<p>3. Make sure the sound of your ringer is loud enough &#8211; Some phones allow users to adjust their ringers volume so make sure that yours is set at a level where it can easily be heard whenever someone calls.  You may also want to check if any settings for Do Not Disturb mode or Silent mode are enabled as these could prevent the phone from ringing when someone tries calling it. <\/p>\n<p>4. Check if any call forwarding settings are enabled &#8211; In some cases, people may have accidentally enabled call forwarding on their phones which will cause incoming calls to go unanswered as they&#8217;ll be directed elsewhere immediately when they reach the device instead of going through normally like usual . To fix this, simply disable any call forwarding settings that might be present and try calling yourself again afterwards from another line\/device just to make sure everything works properly now .  <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_answer_my_Android_phone_without_swiping\"><\/span>How do I answer my Android phone without swiping?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Answering an Android phone without swiping is possible with the use of a voice command. This can be enabled through the settings menu, and you can use different commands to do various tasks on your phone. Here are some steps that you can take to get started:<br \/>\n1. Go to the Settings menu on your Android device.<br \/>\n2. Select Accessibility from the list of options.<br \/>\n3. Look for Voice Control and tap it to enable it.<br \/>\n4. You should now be able to issue voice commands such as &#8220;Call John&#8221; or &#8220;Open Messages&#8221;.<br \/>\n5. To end calls, you can say &#8220;End Call&#8221;.

First, make sure that the SIM card is properly inserted and the phone has service coverage.  If this does not solve the issue, you may need to troubleshoot further. Here are some steps to take:<\/p>\n<p>1. Check to see if airplane mode is enabled on your device and turn it off if necessary.<br \/>\n2. Make sure that Do Not Disturb mode is disabled and any call blocking settings are turned off.<br \/>\n3. Restart your device by turning it off, waiting a minute or two, and then turning it back on again.  This can often resolve minor software issues with devices like phones and tablets.<br \/>\n4. Check for any available updates for your operating system or apps on your device as these could be affecting its ability to accept calls correctly.<br \/>\n5. Try another phone on the same network in case there is an issue with the network provider in your area at this time which could be causing problems with receiving calls on any device connected to it temporarily or permanently in rare cases of malfunctioning equipment or other technical difficulties experienced by providers from time-to-time due to natural disasters such as storms or floods etc..
