Hi,

I'm stuck in the following situation:

I'm getting a call and take it with my AirPods.
My iPhone's display turns on in my pocket and stays in the call screen.

Problem:

The call screen prevents the screen-timeout, so my iPhone's display will stay on for eternity if I don't actively turn it off or end the call.

It's really annoying, especially when doing sports like biking where just reaching in your pocket to turn it off isn't really an option. Accepting the battery drain (or the possibility of OLED burn-in) doesn't sound like a great solution either.

My screen timeout is set at 2 minutes and works just fine in any other situation, it's just that the call screen ignores this setting and stays on for ever.

Is this considered normal behavior? I'd be thankful for any ideas.
