*****

Nice to meet you, *****!
What troubleshooting have you done so far?

Customer Replay

i did a search and it said before I do any factory reset I should restart the phone which I did but do not have any incoming calls cand you call me?

Currently, we don't have an option to communicate via calls. However, I am ready to tackle this problem with you right now via chat.

Customer Replay

OK what should we try

Did you try to restart your phone after that issue occurred?

Customer Replay

Yes i did.

Got it
Go to Accessibility > Interaction & Dexterity>Assistant Menu. Turn on the toggle next to off on the next screen. Then, you will find the Single tap-to-swipe option. Enable it.

Customer Replay

got it, it says off

Did you enable it?

Customer Replay

allow assistant menu to have full control? sounds sketchy?

You may try to enable it and ask someone to call you
If the issue will still be there, just disable it

Customer Replay

ok, can I call myself?

No
If you don't have 2 phones

Customer Replay

ok ,its ringing but still no wat to answer

There are no buttons, right?

Customer Replay

yes but I hit volume up and talked to him?

Did the volume-up button take the call?

Customer Replay

yes?

It should not

Customer Replay

Does your volume-up button take the call?

Customer Replay

yes

Oh, I see
Please, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the calls app.
  2. Press on the 3-dots button and select Settings.
  3. Go to Answering and ending calls.
  4. Tell me what you see here.
Customer Replay

I read caller names alouded, ON answer auto ON, press volume up ON, That must be it?

Disable "Press volume up" and "Press side key "

Customer Replay

ok

And then check if the buttons appear

Customer Replay

You may ask anybody you know to call you. Just for 1 second in order to check if everything is working fine now
