u-s-c change available in silo 30 based on conversation with alf, this bug won't be closed based on the u-s-c changes alone. We need components to employ this change in order to get the benefit
excerpt from alf mail What's missing -------------- * Other components that emit notifications and turn the screen on need to use reason 'notification' (integer value 4) to take advantage of the reduced timeout and proximity behavior. * Phone calls display an accept/reject prompt, but proximity is not enabled for this prompt, so one could inadvertently reply to a phone call (although it requires a slide gesture, which makes it more difficult). I have an MP [1] that tries to improve this in powerd, but has a few drawbacks: - If the proximity sensor is covered when a phone call is received, the screen turns on momentarily before turning off again. - If the screen is already on, proximity is still enabled. For SMS messages we avoid these issues by handling everything inside USC. We could go the same way here by introducing a new reason 'call' for turning the screen on. I would recommend against this though, since we would be adding even more complexity and inelegance to a system that's already broken design-wise. ** Also affects: unity8 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: unity8 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: canonical-devices-system-image Status: Fix Committed => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity-system-compositor in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1426115 Title: Screen timeout for system event (e.g. notification) needs to be a shorter duration than the standard inactivity timeout Status in Canonical System Image: In Progress Status in Unity System Compositor: Fix Committed Status in unity-system-compositor package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When receiving an SMS notification or a calendar event the screen is left on for the full min or more as set by the user.
