I am a long time user of Daydream mode (now renamed to Screen Saver) on my phones with a USB charging desk dock. It is very useful as a desk clock. Prior to Oreo my Pixel XL screen would wake up to the incoming call screen when a phone call came in. Now it turns the screen off and I can't see who is calling unless I take it off the dock and tap the power button.
I have had to tweak some stay awake and power options for other apps to work the way I want them to in Oreo, but haven't found anything to fix this. I have tried the stock Clock app as well as a few from the Play Store, but no difference. Has anyone figured this out or is it a bug in Oreo?
With Tasker, I have been able to wake my phone up to the lock screen when a call comes in, but not the incoming call screen, so I still can't see who's calling. I'm hoping that someone with more Tasker experience than me can help.

Anyone? I just want my phone to light up to the incoming call screen instead of turning off so I can see who is calling.

Hi! I'm back with kaiser and have a question. When you calling someone and listening to long tones waiting for answer screen is not locked. You can manually push power button to turn screen off, but it is not very handy. Is there an app to lock and turn off screen (=sleep) RIGHT after you pressed green button and dialer start dialing and connecting? I'm asking because fast sleep during call only activates after connection has been made...
you actually want a different dialer.. Check out the dialer used on the ROM I run, it had a slider function...
Is there anyway I can turn off screen timeout during a phonecall? It's really annoying when I hit end to end the call but it actually only turns the screen on and I have to hit end again... I would rather have the screen stay on during calls and hitting end (either the physical button or the on screen end, but in this case, probably the on screen end) to end the call. Are they're any apps on the market or any patches for ROMs (I'm rooted running a custom ROM) that I can get to achieve this?
Thanks
i would also love to be able to do this. Toggle would be good for this setting too. When I am on conference calls , I typically use a Bluetooth headset. Therefore I need the screen to stay on to control mute, etc. But when I am using the phone up to my ear screen timeout would be desirable so that i don't accidentally press buttons.
I dont really like active notifications since it seems to suck up a little more battery than i want. anyway regardless of battery drain or not, for someone who does not want active notifications, does this phone have any LED notifications when you have a message?
also, on my older android phone, when i am on call the phone screen will automatically turn on if i move the phone away from my ear and look at he screen (eg. to press tone keypad for automated machines or voicemail). The moto x doesnt do that, it stays off, is there a way to fix this?
thanks,

1. No this phone doesn't have an LED
2. It should...maybe your phone is defective?
I use the phone a lot handsfree for work and it bugs me when the screen times out and locks on a handsfree call. I can't then easily mute, unmute, look at call durations, enter digits etc. without interacting with the phone in a clunky manner.
As an example i might be on a long conference call on speakerphone, mute my audio input to get up and walk around a little and then have to quickly unmute. To do this i have to press the side volume button and then the on screen unmute which sounds easy but can make for an awkward second or so of silence.
Basically i want the screen to stay on when in call and the proximity sensor detects it's not against my face.
Samsung has a phone app option for this i remember (keep screen on during calls).
Any suggestions ?

Use a bluetooth earpiece/headset and add that as a trusted device. All the time it is on and connected the phone won't lock. Then just set screen sleep to something more appropriate like 5 minutes..
you could try something like this:

i haven't tried it, but i think it could solve your problem
EDIT: i just tried an app called "WaveUP" and it did the trick. also has a lot of other cool features, as well.
I've had this happen with two SMS apps and I want to stop it from happening.
When do not disturb is on, incoming SMS makes my phone vibrate and continues to vibrate no matter what.
Is there a setting that I'm missing that controls this?
Thank you!

Was the screen on, when you got SMS or screen was off and it vibrated? Basically I remember my Pixel 2 some other phones too have/had a setting under do not disturb do this when screen is off and do that when screen is on...check it. Yesterday my DND was enabled and I did receive a call on Whatsapp which rang. Before the call, my screen was still on that is why, it rang.

This happens in the middle of the night when I know my screen should be off. I'm thoroughly perplexed.
