Screen timeout during a phone call

[BBJohn]

How do I keep my screen on during a call? It goes out after a few seconds and I can't hang up.

@BBJohn You would need to double tap the screen or momentarily click the side button.

In display settings you can change the time out duration

[realaud]

No, you can't. There is no setting that will allow the screen to stay on longer than pre-programmed by the phone app. We've all been looking for some way to keep it on.

[meself]

Again you are wrong it's only in settings than display than scroll down to screen time out been on many years and models

[realaud]

that does not work with the phone dialer -- on any phone of any brand.  It's a coded time out. If you are going to tell people they are wrong, make sure you are right. You are not.

[meself]

Again takes 30 seconds top to find the setting and it doesn't matter if phone dialer or not same setting for tome out unless you git proof otherwise which would say phone for models going back years it's worked on as I stated odd

[realaud]

You are absolutely wrong.  I know where the setting is and what it's for. It is NOT for the phone dialer.

[meself]

You obviously didn't understand the post or what was asked

[BBJohn]

Thank you. Realaud, you are correct. The time out setting is only when the phone is inactive, not during a phone call. I knew about tapping or using the on/off button. I was hoping there was a setting. Apparently not.
