7.2 worked fine now back to screwed

7.2 incoming and outgoing calls the screen stayed on so I could touch speaker. Hate putting the phone to my ear. 7.3 update now blanks the screen with every call. Bloody F#ing H&ll!

How do I get back to not blanking the screen on every call with the phone laying on my desk?

Can I downgrade back to 7.2 without losing everything?

I’ve always had this issue with every version… And it is clunky and frustrating. One of a few iodéOS / Lineage / AOSP long-term idiosyncrasies…

You can do that via spflash reinstall (use download only option to keep user data and IMEI numbers). How to: How to Manually Install or Update the OS on Your Brax Device - Open Source Community Guide

May have found a fix. Had to power down the Brax3 for a day. After powering back up the screen stays lit making or answering calls. So after updating and rebooting need to power down and up.

Every time I power cycle the Brax3 (running latest 7.4 version) the screen blanks making or receiving calls. Can only awaken the screen by pressing the power button. After a day or so this issue gradually goes away until the next reboot or power cycle.
