Receiving calls

When you receive a phone call from a contact, the Incoming call screen appears.

Tip: HTC Desire X will automatically adjust the ringtone volume when you use the polite ringer and pocket mode features.

Answering a call

Do one of the following:

If the display is locked when you get a call, drag to the Lock screen ring.
If the display is on when you get a call, tap Answer.

Rejecting a call

Do one of the following:

If the display is locked when you get a call, drag to the Lock screen ring.
If the display is on when you get a call, tap Decline.

After declining a call, you can send a text message to the caller or create a task for returning the call.

Tip: You can also press the POWER button twice to reject a call.

Muting the ringing sound without rejecting the call

Do one of the following:

Press the VOLUME DOWN or VOLUME UP button.
Press the POWER button.
Place HTC Desire X face down on a level surface.
Note: If HTC Desire X is already facing down, it will still ring when there are subsequent incoming calls.

Look who's calling

Every time you make a call or your friend gives you a ring, you get to see your friend’s latest social network status update right on the call screen. You’ll also see a birthday reminder if your friend’s birthday (stored on your phone or online account) will happen in a few days.

Viewing a task reminder while on a call

Did you promise to babysit for a friend this weekend? If you associate a task to a contact, you'll see a task reminder on the call screen when you're on a call with that friend.

Note: If the contact has a recent status update, you won't be able to see the task reminder.
