ChatGPT - Voice Mode Screen go to Sleep

ChatGPT Bugs
1

Hello

I have discovered a glitch on your ChatGPT app that I would like to report. When using voice mode, the phone will go to sleep if no touch activity is detected. This is a problem because the phone should always stay awake when voice talking with the AI.

I understand that this is a minor issue, but it can be quite frustrating when trying to have a conversation with the AI. I would appreciate it if you could look into this issue and fix it in a future update.

Phone : OnePlus 12 up to date
Chatgpt : 1.2024.151 up to date

Best regards,
Marc

You sure is not mobile configuration? If you disable sleep mode probably mobile will not sleep. Well give a look on that

Yeah but I don’t want to disable completely sleep mod just for gpt app. The app itself should prevent sleep mode to be activated, similarly of what the YouTube app does or games.

Fair point , depending on what mobile you have I think you may disable sleep mode for certain apps. I don’t see allot more options

Facing same issues. Did you find any solution?

It’s definitely a bug in the app. It wasn’t doing before, and the app has the permission Prevent phone from sleeping.

So it’s not telling the phone OS to not sleep.

I’m facing the same issue. And I don’t remember it happened before.

So it looks like they introduced a new option in Settings under Voice called “Background Conversations”. You need to toggle this on to retain the previous behavior of staying on when phone sleeps.

Yes I got this feature but it simply putting it as an optional toggled feature as rather on by default. It still doesn’t stop the screen to go off.

Same here!! Screen keeps going off…

I am having exactly the same problem. The screen is not stay on and long enough for me even to ask a question and certainly not long enough for me to hear the whole answer.

Same issue for me. I dont like to go to the system settings to add ChatGpt to the apps list where Sleep mode doesn’t activate automatically.

Instead, I have suggestion:
You can use FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON
Window flag: as long as this window is visible to the user, keep the device’s screen turned on and bright.

In ChatGPT app it can be implemented in the following way:

please add one more setting to the ChatGpt app - Always ON with description like this:
Activate this option to prevent phone from turning the screen off while the app is running. Please note that this will result in increased battery usage. We recommend using the dark theme.

In code:

val alwaysOn = prefsManager.getBoolean(PREF_IS_ALWAYS_ON, false)
        when (alwaysOn) {
            true -> activityProvider.activeActivity?.window?.addFlags(
                WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON
            )
            false -> activityProvider.activeActivity?.window?.clearFlags(
                WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON
            )
        }

Same here. This is a real pain and essentially makes the app so inconvenient to use effectively in situ that I will likely unsubscribe if it isn’t fixed.

Yes I’d like to add my voice to this as a bug. I’m on an android phone. Google Pixel. It is still happening and I don’t want to change my phone settings. I think the app should have an option to prevent screen sleep or build it in
