What would be causing my screen to be turning on by itself? Did I trip some settings on accident?

There is a setting for hand gestures or s voice that would do that

that's not the issue.... something else causing it.. hand gestures turned off
Are you using it naked? As much as I hate cases, I ended up putting Poetic something bumper case on my Note 3 to prevent power, volume and home buttons getting turned on all the time while my phone is in my pocket.
its not just doing it in my pocket... i used the pocket as an example..... here is what is happening....... turn the phone over (the sensor is looking at a dark area).. screen goes black after a few seconds..... now flip phone back over in a lighted room.... unlock screen appears with no touches of the button...(tried this 50 times now at least)... if i cover the sensors at the top with my hand.. then uncover them... lockscreen comes on.. (not the notifications screen, that is entirely different)..... all motion gestures are turned off..... i've tried all the obvious stuff (unless i'm missing a "phone in pocket" option or something.. tried to find one... didn't come across any.. all though i may have missed a few spots in settings.. this is driving me nuts though... tried it with case/ without case... all the same..
Nobody?

Doesn't sound like the problem you're having, but my home button got pressed in my pocket all the time. So I used an Xposed module (Wanam, I think) to make the home button not turn the screen on anymore.
well not sure why.. but i did a soft reset... everything was already on my card. just had to redownload stuff.... wasn't too far in so no real biggy.... soft reset fixed the issue...... i messed with it for 4 hours last night trying everything.. nothing worked.. soft reset worked.... why? who knows..... same apps are back on...... makes me a little uneasy honestly

I'm using the default screen lock, with swiping, and it happened 2 times in the last 3 days, that my camera was turned on, in my pocket. (The phone is in a leather pouch)
is there a way, to disable the camera on the lockscreen (swipe left)?
It´s not the lock screen. It´s because of volume buttons. If you hold it pressed for some time volume up starts quick memo and volume down starts the camera. I have the same problem: phone carried in a pouch. I wonder if there is a way to disable it since I don´t really use quick keys.
I've never had this issue in the past week and half that I've had this phone without any case on.
The back volume rocker buttons are definitely getting pressed if your camera is turning on. When you put the phone in your pocket, do you put the camera facing towards you or away?
Mine is doing the same, actually. Yesterday I logged into my Google Plus page and saw there were new photos uploaded, ready for review. There were 8 or so pictures taken inside my pocket.
I would have thought that the proximity sensor would immediately put the device back to sleep if the camera was turned on inadvertently while holstered or pocketed...?

You're right! I completely forgot about that.
I think the proximity sensor (located between front camera and the earpiece) should prevent the camera from turning on and I just did a quick test.
Phone in hand, pressing volume down rocker results in the camera turning on. This is normal.
To simulate phone in pocket, I took a shirt and used 1 layer to cover the proximity sensor and then pressed the volume down rocker. The phone did not turn on.
Quick easy test, took 10 seconds, give it a try to see if your camera still turns on. If not, something else other than the volume down rocker is turning on your phone.
This might be a stretch, but I've noticed the phone turns on by itself sometimes when putting it down on the desk. I'm thinking it's picking up a double-knock signal some how in the pocket and further movements cause the lock screen to slide to the right (which is the camera).

I can confirm this is not accurate. I put my g2 in my pocket and launched the camera with the vol down action, and it loaded.. Multiple times.
However I'm on the sprint g2 and removed a bunch of junk I didn't think I'd need so I could have deleted something that would prevent the phone from waking if the proximity sensor was tripping. Maybe?

I don't think so. I'm on T-Mobile, and while I rooted my phone last night, I had the issue prior to rooting.

Cover the proximity sensor and hold down the volume down rocker button to see if it goes to the camera app.
I tried it about 8-10x and during that time, the phone never goes to the camera app if the proximity sensor is covered.

Obviously lol... But nope.. Still loading the the camera with sensors covered. I'm not too worried about it tho. I haven't unlocked this phone in my pocket yet. Even with knock on active.

I have the T-mo one and I keep getting the camera and quick notes opening. It's super annoying. I have recently turned my phone arround, now the screen faces outward. It seems to be helping, I have not had it happen since.

Lol... I wish it was that easy.
I wear black 5.11 tactical pants everyday at work that have plenty of room and I have this issue.
did anybody find a way to turn the Vol Up/Down functions on lockscreen off?
I reckon an Xposed mod could help you with that.
I have been having the same problem and yesterday deleted 17 photos taken from inside my pocket in the last 2 days while I was at work. I have no case on the phone at the moment and I am not rooted.

I had the exact same problem when I first got this phone. Had no idea the camera was on until I felt my phone extremely hot in my pants. A case solved that problem for me.

strangely enough, it lets you control the Vol keys only for the screen off (which would help everybody in this thread, yes) but i'm also looking to disable it for the lockscreen.
My N3 is driving me nuts. The screen never shuts off in a call and when I manually turn it off, it's like an act of god to get it back on. I have been running Beanstown, complete stock and now hyperdrive. They all do the same.
Anyone else see this?
Yes I did. Ive read that it can be caused by dust sneaking in through the ear piece. So you could try to air blow it. I wasnt convinced of that. I ended up warranting my phone. No problems yet.

My screen would turn off when I made a call and I had to press a button to get it to turn back on.
Blew some air on the top/back of phone and now it works.
I read in a review, but I can't recall, that the S5 has the same feature as the HTC M8 (One) that double tapping the screen wakes the phone.
I can't find out how to enable it.
See my thread, haha. The best buy demo unit was able to do it, but I cant figure it out on my phone to save my life.
If you go to Settings > Accessibility > Dexterity and Interaction > Enable "Air wake up".
You can then just hover your palm over the front face of the phone to wake it up.

Yea, but that causes a lot of issues because your phone will keep turning on when in your pocket

Ahh does it? I haven't tested it fully, but once I get my phone back I'll give it a test.
I'm sure Samsung would have considered the fact that we would be putting our phones in our pockets, and so they
would have prevented this from happening?
I'd assume that the system will look for a slight (not full) loss of light at close proximity, followed by the light returning?

OMG....
This feature only works when the device is on a flat surface, facing up. The accelerometer takes care of the measurement.
Even with the feature turned on, the device will not wake when in pocket, backpack, purse... :good:
I don't think he's looking for an app which will only turn the screen on if the phone is lying flat.
I would also like a double tap to wake. I hate air wakeup.

bad news is, as far as i know, it's kernel related as s5 doesn't come with that feature.
good news is, @faux123 is planning to put that awesome feature to our galaxy devices, let's hope and keep our finger crossed
It's a kernel thing as the poster above me said. We'll just have to wait for a dev to release a kernel with DT2W support.
Maybe this would work.

Battery eater cause screen keeps on.
Only solution is kernel with this option.
Custom kernel does not exist for my G901F yet, so good compromising is gravity screen on/off from here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenofffree&hl=fr
I couple it with proximity screen off from here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.itsme4ucz.screenoffpro&hl=fr
With proximity screen off, I activated flip/cover mode.
With gravity screen on/off, activate pocket protection and screen on with movement.
Moreover, I chained gravity screen with a task (on/off) from tasker according to multiples profiles (work, car, home).
As a result:
- screen goes off when I cover screen or just wave on screen.
- screen goes on when I open flip cover, when I move my phone or wave on screen
withour doing anything else.
Best regards
Franky

Lol.....I can see your point, but, I can also see the other side of it.........
Over time, the home button is gonna be pressed a s**tload of times....there's a possibility that *some* home buttons will wear out.......
I've had a look at "teardown" videos for the S5, and tbh, replacing the button will be a REAL b***ard........
Also, bear in mind that the home button now includes that fingerprint scanner, so the chances are that a replacement button assembly ain't gonna be cheap.

There also be a chance that u never use fingerprint so you can stick on the button something like a screen protector
And even if you find a way to use double tap wake.... You will have to consider the fact that. . This thing will use battery pretty much ... Because I think... IT will have to keep on the touch all the time

I'm using G900T on 4.4.2 stock, rooted and with ktoonsez kernel, and double tap to wake works flawlessly.
Boeffla kernel also has the double tap to wake option its for 5.0 LP.
I broke my phone and just received a new one from the Geek Squad. Two things. When I make a phone call the screen immediately goes black and won't come back on until I push the on button on the back. Really sucks, hard to end call. Also when it times out I have a really hard time getting the screen to light up again. Some times it takes 8 to 10 times pushing the on button and swiping the screen. Any ideas?

I would go back and Tell them to fix it. Did they repair your screen? It is possible that the proximity scanner was not plugged in properly or out of its slot.

Yes,is a proximity sensor problem, download 'Proximity Sensor tester' from the playstore
When I press on home screen to enter settings and remove Google search bar it disappears but its still there. When I touch in the blank area it pulls up. Anybody else? OK just figured out. If you have it turned on it works OK then turn it off it is gone and doesn't show back up when you touch in the blank area. BUT when you power off and then back on with it off its there just invisible. If it's off it comes back on reboot but not visible. Is this just mine?
Just tested several times and works as expected on mine.
I would generally not have it but even when you turn it off you don't get that screen space back

Maybe it's just mine. I can turn it off and its truly off until I turn the phone off then back on. Then I just start tapping around the area where it would be and it opens up Google search. It's really odd. And it does it on every screen. But thanks for checking. I may boot into recovery and clear cache and see if that will fix it.
Clearing cache in recovery didn't work. Guess I'll just leave it on.
Edit: I tried turning it on and back off again, now touching there does nothing. Will have to see what it does after a reboot sometime.
I disabled mine, and if I touch in the space it is located it still pulls up on mine too.
I agree that is a bug.

There is only the one speaker on front.

Yes only right is the speaker. Idk the purpose of left. Some say mic. But the sound is pretty good. Clear, loud, very little distortion at max volume. Barely noticeable.

There is only one speaker, so yours is working correctly.
Some have assumed that there were two speakers since there were two holes, but nowhere in the specs does it say there is more than one speaker.
