[Q] How to keep screen off answering call via BT - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Anyone have any ideas on how to keep the screen turned off while accepting a call through Bluetooth?
In this scenario, I answer the call while working out and the screen turns on (while in pocket) and starts pushing numbers or hangs up.
Thank you

check the notification settings, set to sound only vs wake screen

Ringtone Volume

So I've noticed that when my phone rings, the volume fades out abit and then pops back into its full range repeatedly while I recieve a call. This is even when the single voluime option has been selected. Any help with this?
I realised its because I use voice commander, is there anyway to turn the call section off?
nvm, i've figured it out

Problem when answer a call via Bluetooth hand set!!!

Problem when answer a call via Bluetooth hand set!!!
When answering a phone call with a Bluetooth hand set and the device is in the case the screen remains on during the call, only if I take the device out and than back into the case the screen goes off. The light sensor turns the screen off only if it senses a light and than dark.
Is it possible to do something that when answering a phone call with Bluetooth hand set the screen will turn off (or not turns on at all) automatically to save battery power?
Thanks,

Bluetooth calls turn on AND unlock screen

I've posted on the Q&A thread, and PM'd the Mod as requested and had no response so hopefully someone can help me out.
When I make outgoing calls using the bluetooth stereo in my car the screen comes on and unlocks automatically. This means the End button gets pressed in my pocket and it promptly hangs up. Proximity sensor works fine by my face and incoming calls show the standard HTC lock (slide down to answer or up to dismiss and the stereo can override this. Haven't had it hang up an incoming call, but presumably it could as once answered the screen will be unlocked.
I tried screen suite but it changed the whole look of the phone and was slow as it was showing its own and the stock lock screens. I tried screebl too but that's based on phone orientation which varies depending on which pocket the phone is in.
I don't understand why the screen is unlocking when calls are made over bluetooth - help!

[Q] Screen off while on BT

I use my phone for work and just leave it plugged in whenever on a conference call, so the screen doesn't time out (checked setting). Now I love the feature of the screen blacking out via proximity sensor whenever not using a BT, just my ear, then the screen turning back on when I move my head away.
However, whenever I'm away from the charger and on a call using my BT earpiece, the screen times out very quick. And there's no way to get the screen back on using the power button at that point, as it'll just hang up the call. My BT does not have mute functionality, and there are times when I need to click Mute or use the dial pad... and at that point, I'm SOL.
I've put a Screen On widget on my desktop and in the notification bar, but the screen times out too quickly for me to remember to tick it. And that's a pain to do anyway on every BT call when not connected to power.
Question... Is there any kind of setting that once the bluetooth option is checked in the dialer, that the screen could stay on longer? Or would this need a mod? Thanks.

[Q] Blank Screen on Incoming Call

On my new LG G3 D851, when I get an incoming call the phone rings, the screen shows the normal incoming call screen with the caller name for maybe a second. Then the screen goes dark except for a blue status bar up top and it stays that way while the phone rings.
If I didn't have the volume up button set to answer the phone I wouldn't be able to get incoming calls!
HELP!!!
Fixed it. I have an app, EZButton, that lets you answer the phone with the Volume buttons. When I disabled the app, I got my answer screen again.
