In call Screen Timeout

When I am on a call I want to keep the screen from timing out. I almost always use a headset so I do not need the screen to turn off every few seconds (very annoying). I need easy access to the mute/unmute button during conference calls and do not want to have to turn the screen back on every few seconds.
Thanks

*sigh* I hate bumping my own thread... seems so pushy
Am I really the only one that has an issue with the screen turning off during a call? This drives me crazy and I was hoping someone else had a work around.?.

Try the app "Screen On" I'd link it but I can't post links.

That works perfect. Thank you very much. I actually ended up switching from that app to AppAutoSettings which is made by the same vendor but give you more control over more apps.
I love the forum.

does this not drain your battery more for the screen to say on? How has that affected you?

Batteries are less than $20 on eBay so I never let that bug me.
This issue would happen if I had the phone on a charger, in a dock, etc.

I here you that sounds like a winner you are prepared.

Any way to adjust sensitivity of turning screen on?

Seems like it's kind of difficult to get the screen to turn on. I turn my wrist up to look at the watch and it doesn't turn on. I have to kind of forcefully snap my wrist horizontally for the screen to come on, just a casual horizontal movement isn't enough. Anyone else? It's possible I have faulty hardware.

Mine is very very accurate.. maybe a device reset?

Mine works 8/10 times. Every now and then it fails to come on.

Mine goes on really easy. I have actually been looking for some sort of a lock for the screen because my 6 month old was doing all sorts of things to it just during the first 15 minutes of holding her.
I put in another post that I wish the button on the side of the Moto 360 was a lock / unlock that kept the phone in ambient mode and stopped screen touches because I have not used it otherwise for anything else and it seems like it might be a useful feature.

You have to make sure your watch is on snug. If it's loose it will not register as accurately

Mine pisses me off that it turns on so much. Want to disable accelerometer/gyroscope wake and make it on button press only... Horrible if you have a long commute. I drove 3 hours and lost 60% battery from all the wakes.

I'm jealous of you guys. I have to snap my hand around like I'm saluting someone and even then it only works half the time.

Worked for me as well. I always had trouble getting it to turn on without 2 or 3 attempts at it. Tightened it by one notch and have no problems getting it to come on.

Burn-in: does anyone have it yet? How paranoid should we be?

Has anyone noticed any burn-in problems yet? I've seen reports of the problem for some other watches (LG), but so far nothing specific here for the Huawei.
It's so far so good for me, but I've been extremely nervous about this issue. I avoid faces with things like thick tic marks or logos in ambient mode. I know about Wear's built-in "protection," but I don't have a lot of confidence in it. Am I being unreasonable?

I had the GWR and didn't have any issues with that at all. That said I turn the screen off at night during charging so maybe that helps. I'll keep an eye on the Huawei, but I'm hopeful that it will be fine.

I had the GWR for almost a year too. Always used watchfaces that are 'always on' (so no dimmed mode without background) and always had the charging animation on by night. Never experienced any burn-in.

I just powered mine on for the first time last night. I played with it for a few hours, then put it in the charger for the night and this morning it has burn-in!! How could it happen so fast??

The outline of the watch face. If I change the watchface and swipe left, you can see the outline of the other face as the background instead of white.

hell no, wtf!!
it is very bad, sorry for that, were you using this watchface long time ago? what is the watch face look like in ambient mode? maybe the watch got really hot, and screen on while charging. i started to worry about the screen quality of this watch.
Edit:
i have seen this is your first day, i think maybe a faulty screen

Yeah, I'm wondering if your watch just froze in full display mode overnight.

That deserves an RMA and you deserve a new replacement watch.
I sometimes get lag on mine, im not sure if it's actual lag or whether im doing something wrong but as someone mentioned if the watch went full brightness and is charging then the heat might have done it?

I returned it yesterday to best buy. Lucky me though. . they had cyber Monday deals and it was on sale for $50 less! !

I noticed that when the minute hands on mine move (ie every minute) that the whole screen kind of does a refresh. I'm using a custom watch face called InstaWeather, and in the settings there's an option to help with screen burn. I wonder if this is it? So every minute, every pixel would have been off/on or on/off?

yes, this is an android wear burn in protection buy moving a few pixels in all directions, works very good if you don't have large objects in the ambient mode, and won't help much if you have.

In my opinion, yes, you are being overly worried. First the technologies itself has improved and we see less burn-in even when we set screens on to test such a thing. Second, the ability to move(write) a watch face or screen is not some huge leap, in fact it's really super easy to add to an OS to simply move the screen pin outs when in any long display mode. Beyond all that, app makers, watch face builders, now have the old data and make sure they write to avoid any long same display visual mode.
Easy to add to an app, when write same display, write 2 pixels, change.
Then after all that we have face on mode and ambient mode, which in my daily use changes my watch face enough that I would never get burn in. Agree that I am a heavy user of the watch, I tend to have to change twice a day. Perhaps someone that used the watch much less would have more of a concern?

I have the same problem

Wrong. You must not understand what screen burn in is. No new technology has come out that will stop screen burn in. The software that moves the pixels over only works if the object is 1 pixel wide other wise it doesn't work screen burn in will still happen. And they do not have it where the same pixels won't be used otherwise in ambient mode it would jump around not wiggle.

Reset the watch. It may not be burn in. I saw a bug like this from using too high Def of an image on a watch face. It got stuck in the cache even after I changed watch faces. I reset the watch and haven't had any issues since

Fare enough, just my opinion, & you have yours. Too bad you had to start by saying wrong.
Samsung has made changes to light output and color to reduce burn in, and we all know there is some type of display movement now to also reduce burn in, so it's odd you claim there has been nothing.
Anywho, I don't get burn in so yea, maybe with your attitude if you do, you deserve it?

I'm not going to start it by saying you're right, am I? Samsung didn't make changes to anything in light output the only thing that's changed is adaptive screen color which is meant to adapt the screen contrast to show what's on screen in the best possible colors. There is no new technology that will stop burn in. You must not have understood me. The image wiggle is a software attempt to stop screen burn in from happening but it won't stop it just slow it down. Screen burn in will continue to be a thing until the panels we use change technology. I didn't say that nothing has been made to prevent it.
And if you sense attitude in a straightforward response that's on you. I'll let karma deal with that comment. I personally don't get screen burn in and I've had a SAMOLED device since the Samsung Epic. I just understand how to prevent it. But just because I've never had it I won't tell people that they're overly concerned about screen burn in.

Heating

Has anyone else encountered the phone becoming slightly warm while using the camera? Also how you use the portrait mode on the H 8? Like blurring the background and changing it after taking the photo?
Thanks!

Well a bit of heating is normal especially when talking a long video.

42-45 is still not alarming. When it reaches 50, that's when you get scared.

Is the high temperature during prolonged camera use because of the smart/high brightness which sets the screen brightness to the max?

42 isn't a alarming temperature. If it is a persistent rise, then it is matter of concern.
Otherwise, the device cools down rapidly once we stop using camera.

took a 10 min video over the weekend. didn't feel any significant heat from the phone. but it could be coz:
* i forgot to enable EIS (didn't know it was turned off by default)
* video was only 720p
but i did feel some heat when i was playing Mobile Legends. but the phone didn't lag though during game play, my touch/ accuracy went a bit haywire -- not sure if the heat affected the touch/ sensors... anyway, it could down quite fast after i finished my gaming session.

for those "capture" the moment... and not going to edit... i feel 4K is still not necessary. i don't even have any device that can view 4K in its full glory. so, for me, 1080p is more than good enough since i don't have any plans to edit those videos.
but ya, figured 4K would cause heat... which is why i put a "disclaimer" that i was recording only in 720p... hahaha...

Question Galaxy Z Fold 4 Screen has artifacts on *#0*# test screen, can you guys check if its same because there are mixed replies.

Sorry for bothering guys, I dropped my Z fold 4 from waist height to the carpet I guess it landed on the hinge and afterwards I noticed this;

I don't have the phone. Is the anomaly only present in that mode? Run some more tests.
If the hinge is not operating smoothly and especially if out of alignment it should be repaired soon... to avoid collateral damage to the display.

That's the test mode so it might be it detecting a hardware fault. There's no reason it should be glitching on its own if you're not providing any inputs. A Samsung Experience center at best buys can run additional diagnostic tests on it.

I wouldn't be concerned with that then. As long as everything else is operating normally.

Strange... must be a Fold thing. Don't see that on my N10+ when I run device test. As long as it passes the tests it's just a harmless Fold anomaly.
I would keep a close eye on the hinge though. Probably should have it looked at.

Mine does this to its nothing to worry about it must be part of the vibration test
