Blank screen after phone call interrupts

Hi

when navigating on the bike using cardo and receiving a phone call, once the call ends, my screen goes blank.  Looks like the screen locks and goes to sleep.
is there anyway to ensure the screen returns to navigation?

Is the screen completely blank / black? Is Scenic active when this happens / do you still see some Scenic UI elements on the screen?

I suspect that the phone app takes over and the phone app allows the screen to be auto-locked. Scenic is blocking auto-lock, but when you accept a phone call, the phone app takes over and only apps that are active in the foreground can prevent the screen from auto-locking.

What you could do to prevent this is go to iOS Settings > Phone > Incomings calls -> Set to Banner. Then Scenic will stay active in the foreground during your call and the screen shouldn't be able to auto-lock.

If you're enjoying Scenic and are happy with the support, please leave a nice rating in the App Store. It would mean a lot to me ❤️

This workaround appears to fix issue when receiving calls.

however if I try to make a call via cardo, the phone call ends, and scenic doesn’t return.  No way to get scenic app other than stopping, and playing with phone. Any suggestions?

No sorry. Once the phone app takes over, Scenic loses control. Apps can't bring themselves back after you initiated a phone call (brought the phone app to the foreground).
A possible workaround could be to create a Siri Shortcut to bring Scenic to the foreground again. Have not tried that myself, but I'm sure there is a way to do this.

Check this solution. You can write a script.
