While on a call and speakerphone is on , my s23 screen goes dark or fades. How can I keep the screen alive for the duration of the call when spekaer is activated? Isn't the proximity sensor supposed to detect if the phone is close to my head?
You can setup a Routine In Modes and Routines, that if during call, then set screen timeout to 10 minutes. I know the screen will turn off after 10 minutes, if you don't touch the screen, or touch the screen before the 10 minutes is up?
The behavior you're describing with the screen turning off during a call on speakerphone is likely related to the proximity sensor. The proximity sensor is designed to turn off the screen when it detects that the phone is close to your face during a call to prevent accidental touches.
If you want to keep the screen on while on speakerphone, you can try the following options:
1. **Check Proximity Sensor Settings**: Go to your phone's settings, and under the "Display" or "Call" settings, see if there's an option to disable the proximity sensor during calls. If available, you can turn it off temporarily when using speakerphone.
2. **Tasker Routine**: You mentioned trying a Tasker routine. You can create a Tasker profile to keep the screen on during a call, but you'll need to be cautious about battery life if you set a longer timeout. Your Tasker profile seems on the right track, but you might need to experiment with different settings to achieve your desired behavior.
3. **Third-Party Apps**: There are apps available on the Google Play Store that can help you control screen timeout during calls. Look for apps like "Keep Screen On" or "Smart Screen On/Off" which may offer more granular control over screen behavior during calls.
The Proximity Sensor is disabled when using Speaker Calling.
The Proximity Sensor has nothing to do with this.
The screen is turning off during Speaker Calls, as it is a software intent.
You can simply set the screen to stay on for whatever you want, up to 10 minutes.
BUT, even if you have it set to turn off after 1 minute, simply touching the screen will give you another minute (or up to 10 minutes if that is how you set it up in Settings > Display > Timeout.
You actually don't need Tasker, Samsung Routine or any 3rd party app.
Hi, yes, I tried the above suggested solution and set the timeout to 10 minutes and still the screen fades away during a call in speaker phone. I thought there maybe a way to keep the screen alive while on a call with speaker phone on.
How about when you are on a 30 or 65 minute hold, try to get some work done while waiting, & Ai ask you to tap 1, 2, or 3 and hangs up on you before you can get the screen to wake.
We need a "Keep screen on when on an active call" option.
(LTLYK, It says beginner but I have been a PC Tech since 1987.)
I'm also sick of the screen going dark in a couple of seconds and Samsung's solution being to keep tapping the screen all the time we are on the phone.
@Samsung, I reported this 18 months ago.
We don't want to sit there tapping the screen for the duration of a phone call.
Give us the option to leave the screen on.
Changing the screen timeout with a routine doesn't work. The phone dim overrides the routine.
