Help Ending second call only on the Galaxy S3

I have a new S3, SCH-I535 with Android 4.0.4

When I am on a call, if I receive a 2nd call and answer. After I am done with the 2nd call, I tried to end that call keeping the first call open but amazingly it ended both the calls.

After that I've tried to this in different ways. No matter what I do, all the calls are dropped.

Then I've contacted Samsung support and they confirm that, there is no feature that could end single call.

Isn't it the basic feature of a phone?

Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks!!
 
I've never been able to figure that out on any phone, so I'm with you on this question.

Thread moved to SGS3 forum for better visibility.
 
Yep, I've been tricked out by this before. The only way is too swap calls and let the caller of #1 hang up on you! :)
 
Here is what I found.

Verizon is on CDMA, and their technology does not allow to hang up the call from your phone. When you are on call#1, if you receive call#2 and answer it and swap back to call#1 when done. Even though second call is hung up by other party, it shows that the call#2 is on hold.

Verizon takes about 8 to 10 seconds to really hang up the call on hold. During that time all calls to your phone are directed to voicemail. GREAT FEATURE.

Now Galaxy made it worse. You will never be able to understand which call you are on.
When you are on call#1, Even though other party hung up call#2, after 20 seconds later if you receive call#3 then, Galaxy S3 was showing Call#2 & Call#3 numbers only, without a trace of call#1. Now figure out yourself who you are talking to.

If the phone is purely for personal purpose may be it doesn't bother that much. But if your business totally depends on the phone consider yourself ****ed.

By the way, bought an iPhone 5 for second line yesterday, and it did the same thing.

Mostly it is carrier and partly it is the device. Returned all the phones and moved back to AT&T.
Now I am back on iPhone 4 (not 4s) which is been causing problem with the voice quality. That was the whole reason, I've switched to Verizon and also moved out of iPhone fever
