1159031 - Proximity sensor is working even though voice call is in background

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::System, defect)

Description

[Anshul]

STR
1. Make a call
2. When the call is connected press home key to put the dialer in the background
3. Cover the proximity sensor

Observed: Screen goes off
Expected: Screen should stay on as long as dialer is in the background.

Is this an expected behavior?

Comment 1

[Gregor Wagner [:gwagner]]

What does the spec say?

Comment 2

[Gregor Wagner [:gwagner]]

Can we also do a branch check to see if this behavior is consistent?

Comment 3

[Pi Wei Cheng [:piwei] (inactive)]

This issue affects all branches of Flame including on v18D-1 base image only.

Observed behavior: Proximity sensor still works when dialer is running in the background.

I cannot reproduce this. Where exactly is the proximity sensor to cover?

Hi Sean,

Looks like the proximity control is in screen_manager.js, could you please help to check it in gaia side?
Thank you!

[Sean Lee [:seanlee][:weilonge]]

This issue can be reproduced at Flame, and the screen will be turned off when 'near' property is true.

iPhone has the same behavior as well. I think this needs UX's confirmation. Thanks.

Comment 8

[Gregor Wagner [:gwagner]]

Not a blocker since its not a regression and probably the expected behavior. Waiting for UX input if we should fix it going forward.

Comment 9

[Stephany Wilkes]

Sorry, I can't confirm. What precisely is the user impact I should be looking for here? 

Flagging Carrie since this is Dialer.

Hi

Actually I think it's the expected behavior. If user is on the in-call status and put the call at the background to check stuff, we'd suppose that if the proximity sensor being covered on this stage, it will be that the user is going back to the call by moving the device to his ears. So I think the proximity sensor should be working during the call even when it's on the background (Because user is still on the call and the call is not being held). Thanks!

Above explanation makes sense to me. Closing the issue.
