Does anyone have trouble answering an incoming phone call by "pulling down" on the screen? This is not OS version related. Sometimes it works easily, sometimes not, especially if I have the phone in bedside mode. Is there any other way to answer without trying to pull the menu down?
Well, it's of some consolation that it isn't a problem with just my own phone and that I'm not the only one. There must be some fix or workaround. I wonder if BlackBerry is aware of this. They still have hardware tech support, don't they?
You would think they could add something to the software to permit, say, tapping one of the buttons on top or on the side when the phone is ringing that would answer. I have a Bluetooth earpiece that allows me to say "Answer" or to push its button to answer, but of course I have to have the earpiece on at the time. Maybe they could allow the user to say "Answer" into the phone microphone.
Well it is rumoured they are going to change the swiping down and up to answer / decline to swipe left and right
Have never had a problem with the up and down tho
Is your Magnify Mode on I sometimes notice some lag in my touchscreen when it is on, go into Settings - Accessibility and turn it off or just swipe two fingers down from the top of the screen, if that's not it then I don't know what it is but I don't usually experience that when answering calls anyway good luck with your issue
I don't think it is the screen protector, I don't have one but I have exactly the same problem; not all of the time but definitely more often than not.

i have same problem and its really annoying, i always pull down from white/grey bar in middle but have to do it twice or three times to get it to work most the time!!!! just seems unresponsive the first time you try to swipe it, and it cant be my phone cause this is my second z10 and it done it on the first one to! its a phone for christ sake answering it should be the easiest thing to do on a phone!!!! personally i find swiping across more natural so maybe you should be given the option to choose?????
Occasionally I've experienced this. For me, it's because I'm in a hurry and don't start in the center of the gray bar. When I slow down and center the start of the gesture, the phone responds correctly.
I too have this problem sometimes but have also noticed that it seems to have something to do with the speed with with I swipe down so guys try slowing down and see I know it is instinctive to swipe quickly so we don't miss the ca but...until they find a fix.

I'm going to try that, thanks.
It still should be corrected by BBRY. I wonder if they listen to complaints like this.
Looks as though I've uncovered a problem that affects a lot of people. And a pretty basic problem, at that. I mean, the least a phone should be able to do is to answer a call without struggling to do so.
Instead of a light flick, do it a bit more forcefully. It might be a sensitivity issue to prevent accidental answering or accidental rejection of calls.
If you're still having problems, tap and hold, then drag down, or up.
