Screen timeout on calls.

Has anyone discovered a way to keep the screen on longer while on a call?
Is there any way to change this? If I missed another post on this I apologize. Thanks

You can use power manager in the Google Marketplace

One of the best 99 cent app I've ever purchased. Support the Dev, he just lost his job, and the app kicks ass.

Yeah, Power Manager has the option to a max of 2 minutes, but it has never worked for me, it always times out waaay earlier.

i use shake awake free app that causes your phone to turn back on if you move it a certain amount, you can ajust the sensitivity to howevver much you like. mine basically stays on if the phone moves at all while i am on a call

Awesome I will try these. Thanks for the responses.

Power manager doesn't change the timeout for the screen during calls. The only way to change that currently is using the shake program mentioned above. I use both programs and love both of them so when power manager doesn't help with the screen timeout during a call use it for all the other great benefits and select monitor so it can apply the different profiles (which you can customize) for all the situations.

I tired these apps they both seem to work pretty well, any ideas on how this could be done without using an app?

It has the setting for it, but obviously doesn't work:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

[GUIDE] Here is How to Boot Into Safe Mode

As I was trying to take a screenshot of this to make a thread about how ridiculous Verizon is, I accidentally booted into safe mode.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I pressed down the home button + volume down a few times, and that is how it happened. Perhaps devs already knew this. Here is a guide anyways.
1. Start phone
2. Once you hit Verizon screen (or any screen past bootloader screen), either hold down power + volume down, or press it a few times.
Note that doing this will reset your wallpaper and folders.

What good comes out of this?

I figured the devs could find a good use for it.

I normally boot into it by accident as well lol.

if the phone is running, simply longpress the "Power off" prompt after you get the phone options popup. I believe it disables all the third party (Downloaded/sideloaded/etc...) apps.

This is correct. It's a good way to troubleshoot the phone and see if 3rd party apps are causing an issue

Possible to switch "recent" button to "menu" button

I'm referring to the physical button to the left of the home button. I hardly ever use the recent button, but definitely use the menu button. For example, if I want to access settings for Nova launcher, I now have to navigate to the setting vs just tapping "menu".

Set a gesture in Nova to launch Nova settings. That's the easiest way.

Nope. No option to add "menu" button in Nova either. Even more frustrating with Nova, the expand notifications feature doesn't seem to work with gestures. My favorite feature of Nova is the ability to swipe down from anywhere and get to notifications. No longer possible on s6.....yet.

I have no idea what you're referring to. Both definitely work lol. Look below swipe down for expand in options.
I also definitely have a swipe up gesture on the app drawer to launch Nova settings with just a swipe.

I enabled that feature. swiped down, nothing. Then I decided to try double tap from anywhere to access notification; also nothing. If it's working for you, then maybe I have a bad version. Maybe you can check your version? I'm on v 5.0.2

I'm running the beta version actually from the Google plus community. Maybe that's why. Give it a try.

[APP][6.0+] Shake Light - Turn On/Off your flashlight shaking your phone

Easily use your FlashLight with just a shake of your phone. Now you can have an easy access to a useful utility of your device!
New on this version!
The App detect when is in a pocket so you dont need to bother when you go for a run! It also has a sensibility configuration to adjust it to the user strength and preference.​
Google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kalantos.shakelight
After the android 8, google forces to show a notification for foreground services, but don't worry the notification can be hidden.​
Steps:
Disable app notification (https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/stop-annoying-notifications-android/).
Disable foreground service notification (https://9to5google.com/2017/10/26/h...eo-using-battery-notification-android-basics/).

will try, thanks

I used to have a motorola X pure with this feature, but now is dead and I owned a xiami. One of the things I miss the most is the shaking gestures .
I download this app and works just the same as the one of motorola. The notification is quite anoying but after the steps you put it never show up again. Great Job

New version 1.2.2!
Proximity sensor, for avoiding mistaken shakes while walking.
Intensity of the shake configurable by user.

New version 1.2.3!
Improvements to sensibility configuration.
Shake gesture is now supported in ladscape mode.

If you have features you think that would help thus app growing tell me and I will work on them

We are about to launch a new version we need some people to join our test community if you want to help us send a mail to [email protected]

Wanna join the testing community! Really like the app!
I have some suggestions I sent you by email!
But I love the app, works perfect!

double shake option would also be great. Harder to trigger by mistake and easier when intended. Works good also on 10.

Wtf? It looks like a wallpaper...
Maybe something to do with wallpapers or themes? Any wallpaper apps loaded?
Try in safe mode.

no wallpaper apps. I'll try setting a different theme, but I'm sure it's the default theme.
I'll google safe mode and try that. thank you for your help. I thought someone might recognize this as a setting.

I found the setting that was causing the problem. searching "screensaver" in settings found a selection for screensaver when docked or charging. I changed it to "none".
thanks for your reply!

Yay! Lol, Samsung's are notorious for their hidden settings. Sometimes in plain sight but others required a double tap on unmarked menu items
edit: I'm aware it's an LG. Koreans are sort of krazy in general... look at their graffiti
