Abstract
Embodiments are described for handling receipt of call in a multi-screen device. In embodiments, the device may be in a closed mode in which a primary screen is being used. A message regarding the incoming call is displayed on the primary screen to a user so that a user can decide whether to answer the call from the primary screen. If the device is being used in a closed secondary screen mode (with the user interacting with the secondary screen) when the call is received, a notice will be displayed to the user to turn the phone around to the primary screen so that the user can decide whether to answer the phone.
