That looks like a recent regression. Whenever I move away the phone from my ears during an active call the screen does not turn on again. You will have to manually press the on button.

Whenever the caller moves away the phone we really should turn on the screen again. The current behavior is awkward and blocks you e.g. when you have to enter some digits while being routed through a telephone system.

Adding QA wanted to see if we can reproduce this on a ZTE open or leo device.

:whimboo, device info here will be helpful.Thanks !

I have an Unagi device.

Issue repros on

When on the phone and moving phone away from ear it phone remains black.  To turn on again you have to press power button on Unagi device.  Unable to test on Leo due to Cellular and Data is not working on leo devices bug number 859260

Yes we got a working build for receiving phone calls.  Unable to repro on  

Leo Build ID: 20130605070207

After removing phone from ear, while on a call, the screen lights up to let you know what state you are in.

Not sure how you tested this but when I checked a Leo device on Friday I have not seen that the screen got (black) dimmed at all during a call while having the phone on the ear. The screen turns off after a minute (if it has been set in display settings) but also in such a case you have to press the hardware button to turn it on again. The phone does not react on any kind of movement. Also I'm not sure if it has a light or distance sensor at all.

I still see this bug with the latest rev of B2G on Unagi.

If this doesn't repro on Leo device but only on Unagi, it's not a blocker.

Comment 10

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

Lukas, as said above the situation is not clear. Has the Leo device a motion and light sensor? It seems that this issue depends on one or both sensors.

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

This seems to work now again with the following build:

Daniel, I know that you have seen this issue too. Is it also fixed for you?

Comment 12

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

Whimboo says in IRC that he's on the nightly channel. I'm on beta, so if it just became fixed for him, it'll likely not be fixed for me for a few days.

(I don't have a SIM in my unagi at the moment, so I can't actually test, but I'll hopefully give it a try later today.)

Comment 13

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

I'm still hitting this with an unagi "nightly 1.1 build" that I just downloaded:
{
Platform version: 18.1
Build Identifier: 20130614070213
Update channel: unagi/1.1.0/beta
Git commit info: 2013-06-14 10:43:06

}

Comment 14

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

... though I only hit it sporadically, and I seem to hit it more reliably if I cover the proximity sensor (hold my hand over the top of the phone) for a few seconds at least.

(If I just cover the sensor very briefly -- releasing it immediately when the screen turns off -- then the screen comes back on as I'd expect.)

Comment 15

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

You are right. I moved my phone away from the ears after 1s or so. Holding it longer at the ears and removing it, the screen still doesn't get turned on.

This bug is out of date and we suspect that it's no longer valid. If you think this is in error, please reopen it.
