Hey all,
I was wondering about the phone app, and how it interacts with the screen blank and rotation. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I wanted to post it hoping that a) I am doing something wrong, b) something is misconfigured or c) if there is truly a problem, maybe the debs can look at it with an eye toward a CSSU update at some point. (I just found out a bout CSSUs, and my hat's off to the devs!)
In any case, let me describe what just happened when I made a call.
I unlocked the screen and held the camera button halfway down until the phone app launched, it was in portrait mode;
Dialed my call, and put the phone to my ear. (I was not using bluetooth at the time);
When I pulled the phone down from my ear, it had blanked. It did not come back on until I tapped the display, then when it did, the phone app was in landscape.
The problem is that sometimes the phone will ring, be in portrait mode, then blank again (while still ringing), and only by tapping the screen am I able to get it to come on. Well, depending on how the orientation is, I have managed to reject calls.
Is there a way to make the phone override the screen lock setting? I'm actually not sure what I am trying to ask here, but *something* is wierd about the phone behavior, even if I can't put my finger on it.
Thanks,
