<p>A method and apparatus for preventing dropped calls in a wireless communication device. In one embodiment, the present invention is comprised of a method including the step of determining a characteristic of a first finger (1102). Next, the present embodiment compares a characteristic of the first finger to a characteristic threshold (1104). In this embodiment, provided the characteristic of the first finger does not meet the characteristic threshold (1106), the present invention then determines if a second finger is present (1108). Provided it is determined that a second finger is not present, the present invention prevents the first finger from being deassigned (1110) such that the first finger is not deassigned when only the first finger is present. In so doing, the present embodiment ensures that first finger is utilized (i.e. not dropped) even when the first finger does not meet a given characteristic threshold.</p> |
