This is actually working per the design we agreed on some months back (I can't seem to find the bug that has the discussion thread).
Here are the points, I believe: 1) You do want the screen to light up even when the proximity sensor is covered on an incoming call. If the phone is in your purse or bag and it's ringing you need to be able to see it. This is how iOS works, probably Android as well. 2) The incoming call notification is modal. You can only interact with it and there is no other input available that you can accidentally interact with (i.e. indicators, launcher) 3) You have to swipe to answer/decline a call which is difficult to do accidentally 4) The quick reply could be an issue, but even that requires 2 taps. One tap to show the menu then another to select the option. If there is an issue with 4 happening automatically we should revist the design of the notification. I think the bottom line is that every notification that occurs when the phone is locked needs: a) to always be modal so no other actions can be taken on the ui (think this is true already) b) needs to use swipe to perform an action, not tap ** Changed in: telepathy-ofono (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1291455 Title: Screen and input should be disabled with proximity sensor when on greeter To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1291455/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
