Hi - just got my new HD2 - great phone! Added some tweaks etc from this site (thanks very much BTW!)
I've got a question about the lock screen. When i press the off button the screen goes black, I then switch it on and the lock screen appears. Then after a few seconds the screen brightness decreases and then the screen turns off again. But what I want is for the screen brightness to decrease but the screen not to go off, so that I can easily unlock the phone without having to strain my fingers to get to the buttons in the corner to switch the screen off. I've changed the dimming and off settings in the settings menu but it doesnt appear to affect the lock page. Any ideas??
So I managed to drop my phone a couple of weeks ago and crack the screen. The screen itself has remained fully functional despite a couple of purple lines down it and progressively worse flickering. It;s gradually started becoming more unresponsive and tonight it seems to have had enough. The stay on screen still display the time and if I press the lock key it will show me my lock screen and my notifications, I can swipe and remove these and if drag them down to read them further.
However, when I actually unlock my phone to go to my home screen, the phone screen goes black - I know the phone has unlocked because I can hear the sound effects when I press apps but everything remains black and I can't get the screen to come alive again until I lock the phone. If I double tap the home button, it will quick launch my camera and that works. So essentially the screen still works but won't show me my home screen or any apps (apart from camera), it's essentially blacked out until I lock it again.
I'm getting it repaired but am not able to do so for a few days. Any ideas how I can bring the screen back to life when I unlock the phone? I tried restarting a few times, leaving it turned off for a while and emergency mode - none of which worked.
Hi there. I'm currently having an issue with my S7 edge where the lock screen won't turn off after some time. The screen does turn off when I'm using the phone normally from the main screen after some time passes but it's just the lock screen I have issues with.
Whenever I charge my phone or just hit the power button once to see notifications on the lock screen, it'll just stay like that until the same time the main screen timeout configured time passes (5 minutes) and this is getting annoying and somewhat draining a little bit more of my battery. Previously it was working fine and the lock screen would turn off after around 10 seconds or so.
Has anyone faced any similar issues with their phones? I haven't tried a factory reset yet but I'd want that to be a last resort.
Clear Background apps.
It happens when you left some games or apps by pressing home button but it keeps running. Hope they will fix this soon.
Have you tried pressing that little button on the right side of the phone? That usually helps.
Yeah...I already tried that with no luck. Even tried uninstalling some recent apps in case one of them was cause but it didn't work either. Any other suggestions?
The issue isn't with turning the phone screen off by pressing the power button, it's the lock screen itself not turning off after a few seconds when it usually does.
I'm having the same problem, had good lock installed thought that may have been the problem but after uninstalling that I'm still having the same problem with samsungs oem lock screen. I too would like an answer or fix for this. also to note, in developer options the stay awake is off and no apps running in the background.
I am having this problem now also. The screen will lock, but the display stays on but dimmed. I can tap the screen and it will get bright. Now I must click the side button every time I set my phone down or the screen will drain the battery.
I'm facing exactly the same issue. When the screen is locked, it stays on for the same time confirmed to when its unlocked. For example, 1 minute, instead of 10-15 seconds.
Any workaround discovered for this?
Did anyone find a solution to this problem?
I thought that I might've been the only one! This problem only appeared on my phone after the Nougat update, and it's extremely annoying as I rely on notifications waking the screen for my main messaging app.

Hello, I am having the same issue in my Redmi note 11 pro plus Phone. In my case The screen will lock but display stays on with dimmed light. Usually it is not visible during day, but in dark room its visible. And it stays the same way whole night. And battery is fully drained and phone is turned off. Is there a solution for this??
Hello guys.
I am experiencing two strange situations on my galaxy s7 edge.
First, whenever I unlock it to the home screen both buttons ( back and multitask) keeps on flickering/flashing randomly. They just turn themselves on and off all the time.
The only thing I manage to do was disabling them (with an app) , so they woundn't turn on at all.
Second problem, I can't seem to put the automatic lock screen mode, meaning that if I don't press the lock button on the side, the screen just stays on no matter if it´s on the home screen or some open up app.
I wonder if any of you had ever seen something like this before. It´s not a massive issue, but it has been bothering me a lot. =/
Thanx
About every 1 in 3 times I try to turn the phone on, the screen remains black, but I know it has "woken up", because it vibrates under my finger to indicate it has unlocked. Additionally, swiping around while the screen is black results in opening main screen apps. I have tried face unlock, fingerprint and voice unlock and these methods all have the same kind if success rate. I've found the only way of turning the screen on is, after unlocking it, is to hold the power button to bring up the force shutdown menu. This issue has gotten progressively worse over a number of weeks. I run an app launcher, may be contributing? The phone is about a year old. Help!
