Just got my Priv yesterday, and loving it so far, BUT I noticed all day today so far my phone has been sitting next to me on a desk and the screen keeps randomly turning on. I went to Settings -> Display and disabled "Ambient display" and "Lift to wake" thinking that might be triggering it, but no luck. The display keeps randomly turning itself on and draining massive amounts of battery. Has anybody else had this problem or do I have a lemon of a device?
EDIT: I also noticed my device does not sleep "After 30 seconds of inactivity" like I set it to, or any amount of time I set it to for that matter. Anybody else have this problem as well?
I had the screen randomly waking issue too. I had to turn off Lift to wake for that to stop happening.
I also get the issue where the screen doesn't sleep even if I set the screen to sleep after 15 seconds.
You are not alone. lol
Ok so it's not a hardware issue on my end that's the good news I guess. The bad news is this issue is killing my battery life so it might be a deal breaker unless we can find solution.

You wouldn't happen to have an Android Wear watch that's connected to your phone at all, would you?
Or possibly trusted devices or places setup at all?

Check to see if the wake screen for new notification alerts are set. I had a similar issue when I first got the device but after turning this off and the lift to wake option my battery life has gotten much much better
So I restarted my device and the issue went away, then toggeled the Airplane mode on while I was in school (I'm a teacher) and turned it off when I was leaving school and noticed I had the same problem again.
Can one of you test to see if toggling the Airplane mode on your phone makes the screen timeout no longer work?

Just checked mine. Screen timeout working as it should when Airplane Mode activated. Hope you figure out what the problem might be. Good luck
After I got the PRIV I also noticed it woke up too easily. After disabling the 'Double-tap to wake' option (don't know the exact name) that didn't happen anymore.
After hours of google searches I finally found a solution that works best although it may be temporary.
Download and install the app "Screen Burn Fix". Run it for at least 8 hours (best to do this while sleeping) at MAXIMUM brightness with auto off.
It fixed the issue for me!
For more permanent results, run this every night while sleeping.
Hope this helps.
I have a rooted g4 plus with stock nougat(and elementalx kernel).
I always turn adaptive brightness off. But after every boot it turns on. Does anyone else experience the same thing? If so, is it because of the stock rom or the kernel? Does anyone know how to fix this? I tried to find a fix but couldn't find any thread mentioning any issues about adaptive brightness.
Hi Guys, I am losing my mind! every-time I reboot my phone, the location does turn itself OFF! (from being ON) , sometimes it also happens when I turn it on, and in about a day, it turns off!
Things I tried so far:
Turned OFF places on the dialer (someone suggested this fixed it for them)
Turned OFF "Optimize Settings" in Battery setting
Turned OFF "Adaptive Battery"
Anyone has the same issue?
Bixby Routines by chance? I had a friend with a similar issue and this turned out to be the case.
I have the same issue. Cant figure it out. Mostly only when i'm stationary and connected to good wifi.
I've noticed this as well, though I haven't been able to figure out under what circumstances it happens. Just find location turned off seemingly at random.
Hello! I'm on Android 9. I want to use Lux because Adaptive Brightness sucks on the Mi A1 but the latter won't stay turned off. if I disable it, it gets enabled automatically after some time, it could be 10 minutes, 30 minutes or 3 hours, no more than that. i tried disabling Adaptive battery as well thinking that some other internal process could be setting it on as well. I uninstalled Lux just in case it was lux enabling it by mistake. I don't have many apps, I keep it clean. I'm yet to do the testing of running the phone in debug mode for a couple of hours to see if it's a third-party app or not, but even if it was, I can't think of any app that could be doing that.
Any suggestions? Please help me, I love my phone but my brightness sucks with Adaptive method, it goes pitch black all the time, I hate it.
Thanks a lot!
