Why your screen turns off automatically
Battery savings
To save battery power, your screen turns off automatically if you haven't used it for a set amount of time.
You can lengthen or shorten the amount of time before your screen automatically turns off.
You can also use Attentive Display to keep your screen from turning off when you're looking at it.
During calls
When you bring the phone to your face to speak into it during a call, the screen turns off to prevent accidental
touches. When you pull the phone away from your face, the screen turns on so you can use it. (If the screen stays
dark, follow these steps.)

delivered since the screen was last on.
