[Bug 1524648] Re: Display doesn't turn on for incoming phone call

 

Not turning the screen on when proximity is active is an explicit
decision to avoid previous pocket answering issues. The idea is what
good is turning the screen on if you cannot see it.

I cannot reproduce the second issue of not lighting the screen after
uncovering the sensor in either stable or proposed. Will ask someone
else to test.

Bug description:
  I just received two phone calls.  In each case the phone started
  ringing but the screen stayed black.  In the first case I let it ring
  for a while hoping that it would magically wake up, since some bugs do
  seem to work that way.  But nothing happened.  I was unwilling to
  press the power button since in iOS that immediately hangs up the
  call.  Eventually however I did press it, and the screen woke up.  But
  I was too late to answer the call.  When the person phoned back the
  screen was black again, so I pressed the power button and was then
  able to slide the slider to answer the call.

  I don't think this is the same as Bug #1493574, since that bug seems
  to happen after the phone has been answered.

  Syslog of about the right time attached.  Phone reports the times of
  the calls as 15:41 and 15:47.
