Screen is locking when device is used for messenger calls
- /e/ version: v1.8.1-Q
- Device model(s): Beryllium
- Device rooted: no
Summary
When using messenger apps such as Signal for calling (voice/video) the screen is being locked as if the device is not being used. Instead, when using messenger apps for voice or video calls the system should behave similar to the default phone app.
The problem
Steps to reproduce
-
Check your screen timeout time (default 1min)
-
Make a voice call with the Signal app (i.e. incoming) lasting more that 1min.
-
Now the screen is locked.
-
A similar behaviour can be observed during active calls with the default phone app )when the user swapped to another app while calling).
What is the current behavior?
- The screen is locked when the screen timeout time is boing reached. This may lead to annoyances, when the user cannot directly access the screen for pressing the button to end the call.
What is the expected correct behavior?
- No matter if active calls are made with the default phone app or with a random messenger app: The screen timeout lock should be suppressed during the duration of the call.
