The screen turns on randomly. No notification. No rhyme or reason that I can spot so far. The Always On Screen is set to off. The "Keep screen turned off" is enabled, though enabling it hasn't helped. The screen still turns on randomly. I'm running PB5. I didn't have this problem running the version it shipped with. This seemed to start immediately after I updated to PB5. I had the phone for a little over a week before I updated.

Idk why it's happening, but mine is doing the same thing. I've had mine since March 1 and mine just started with new update too. And my battery has tanked since then too.

Oh good....... then I'm not imagining things. It's happening to more people than just me[emoji15]
Go to settings, accessibility , dexterity and interactions , easy screen turns in and see if it is set to on. I just toggled it on and off and haven't had the screen randomly turn on yet. Fingers crossed [emoji108]

That setting wasn't on. That's not it but definitely worth checking.
There is a thread on reddit about this and they haven't figured it out either.
Mine is doing the same thing. I hate it when it does it in my pocket and causes problems.

I'm having issues where after going to sleep, it wakes up with the lcd very dark. It doesn't matter which level of brightness I put it on, the lcd is still hard to see. Rebooting solve the problem. Just wondering if anyone experienced this too. I hope it isn't my lcd dying...
This happen on both froyostone and bangster. I'm on the latest radio using tmousa.
I had this on bangsters 1.2, but haven't seen it on 1.3b, but only been running that build for a few days.

i had this a few times before on a shubi build. I came to the conslusion that it is the screen not fully coming out of sleep. Seeing as it only happened when I put the phone to sleep and then tried to wake it immeadiately or got frustrated and impatient with it and tried tapping buttons repeatedly until the screen came on.

I had this same experience. Patience is a virtue with these phones. As long as I wait if its taking a bit to come out of sleep, I get zero problems.

thanks for the advice. I hope its just a software glitch. I will just have to be more patient when coming out of sleep.

Here is my solution, i posted it in a similar thread, I think the key element here is the bsb tweaks part, hope it helps, thanks:
I solved this problem in my phone.
even turn on/off/on/off/on/off etc the screen, the devices wakes up correctly every time.
I don't really what exactly fixed but.
i installed Miris romm 20.0, then i turned off the auto screen off *start/system/power, so the screen nevers dims or turn off. I turned off the charge the device when it is connected to the computer, turned off quiet pickup, turned off 3g.
and now i think this is the key, installed bsb tweaks and turned off everything(even power savings), disable data connections and screen rotation, I only left use high glymp cache. reboot and run android, in winmo i dont have anything installed besides bsb1.6
in android i have the task killer on and set cpu at 768mhz ondemand. no profiles. battery last well over 24 hrs moderate use. by the way im using shubcraft, and the gsensor disabled kernel. thanks,
edit: also my auto sync is off in android and my wifi is always on.
I dealt with the problem by putting a widget to control screen brightness on my home page, if it goes dim I can find it ' blind'
Sent from my HD2 on mattc froyo sense.
Yeah it does happen to me if I'm being impatient and banging on the screen before it fully wakes up. Haven't found a real solution yet, but so far I would just try my luck by turning on/off/on/off several times, hoping that it get stucks momentarily again to let if "fully" wake up. Worst case scenario, reboot.
My screen randomly turns on and sits at the lock screen for a few seconds for no apparent reason. There are no pending notifications, etc. I assume there might be a rogue app causing this, but I don't have that many installed and even less apps doing any background tasks. Any idea on how to find the culprit?
I found this bug report where some apps are mentioned, but I'm not running any of them.
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39625
On the Galaxy Nexus this issue was sometimes caused by a flaw in the micro-USB connector. I sincerely hope that is not the case with the Nexus 4.
I noticed that the phone wakes up whenever it reconnects to Wi-Fi. I was changing some router settings last night and I constantly saw the phone waking up shortly after the router rebooted. However, this is not the only scenario where it does it.
Mine has done the same, no idea why, only seen it the once, but it certainly happened, sitting three feet away from me, and suddenly Bingo! its on.
Mine wakes every few minutes. Certain apps (tasker, facebook etc) and syncing seem to cause it to happen more often but even if I disable most apps it still happens. I've been unable to identify the source with better battery stats. It happens bone stock and on CM10.1. I'm still getting better battery life than my GNexus but it's maddening.
Mine too. It will do it a few times in succession then be still for a while before starting again. No apps open and google sync off.

So my Nexus 4 doesn't want to go to sleep.
- I have sleep set to 15 seconds
- Dream is off (just in case)
It just stays on. It doesn't matter if it's on the the lock screen or at the home screen. I'm guessing some app is keeping it awake. It just started last night, but I don't think I have installed any new apps. Maybe it from an update.
solved
My phone's screen also used to wake up randomly. it was very annoying, especially at midnight
finally, I found out the reason by using "Wakelock detector" app which is freely available in market.
here is XDA thread about WLD: WLD at XDA Thread
the cause of problem was ad Notification, it was holding "full wakelock" (you can see it in screenshot)
good Luck!

U made an account to post THIS only?
I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing KnockON inconsistencies with their G2. Turning off always works properly. But if the phone has been idle long, it hardly will ever turn on the first one, two, or even three times I knock on it. Sometimes I have to tap it rather hard to function. I've tried different locations on the screen, as well as the center where the phone actually instructs you to do so. Then I tried faster and slowerand it makes no difference. The tips of my fingers are hurting now lol.
Thanks!

Surprised you're the first to bring this up, lol! Been watching this device closely on on youtube reviews on this device you can see it right infront of your eyes. Doesn't ALWAYS wake on double tap but does ALWAYS turn off, weird. Idk what to tell ya but yes it isn't just you...
Are you using the stock launcher?
I switched to Nova and noticed its very finicky for me ever since I stopped using the stock launcher.
Still on stock launcher.
I just tap it 4 times when turning on, no big deal.
The only time it fails for me is if I tap too softly. I notice that when turning it on, it does take two distinct forceful taps. It seems to register anything else as a touch. So, while I think it could be better, I don't see it as inconsistent. If it was too sensitive, it might end up turning on in your pocket.
I think it has to do with the motion sensor in the phone. Mine works fine if I just tap it twice while it's in a steady position (even in my hand), but when I'm riding my bicycle I can't get it to tap "on" most of the time (unless I stop). Tap off works much more reliably.
i'm pretty sure there's a deep sleep issue, but that's to be expected..once the process that controls knockon goes to a deep sleep, of course it won't work right away.
Tapping near top of screen seems to work much better.

Exactly.
Can't have both battery life and also expect the Knock feature not to go to deep sleep. I prefer to eat my cake.
Also, I like that it does not accidentally turn in my pocket or when gripping the screen in my hands, etc.
The Korean version has gotten a few updates to make KnockOn smoother, so you might not have that update yet.
Well, I have a VZW version so updates will not be plentiful lol. Knocking on it several times, rather than twice seems to work better. Thank you guys for your suggestions.

Maybe we should shake it a few times and then double-tap the screen. It would be like a Moto X/LG G2 hybrid!
I’m doing a study right now with this feature by recording the time and results. So far 3 quick knocks resulted in successful power ups 100% of the time (7 for 7). When doing 2 knocks (prior to the study) it was intermittent to the point of driving me crazy.
Come to think about it when you knock on someone’s door do you knock 3 times or 2? I always knock 3 times but the video reviews of this feature messed my thought process up with 2. First world problems I guess. LOL
I will report back with my results tonight.

Same for me. It says you need to either tap in the middle or top of screen. Anywhere else doesn't work as well.

Seems to work best if you tap where the lock screen widgets are located -- top center, but not at very top.
Anyone having a problem with the phone going unto deep sleep and then just shutting down?
Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk 2
I have an explanation. I think this happens because when the phones asleep (screen and touch panel is off), knockon uses the motion of the phone, read by the accelerometer, to recognize that two-tap pattern and subsequently turn on.
When the phone and screen are on though, the mechanism happens by direct touch input and is much more reliable, so it should happen every time.
This would explain why in moving situations like riding a bike, or when I was trying to turn it on while it was on the bed, which probably absorbed the motion from the taps it doesn't work as well.
I did hear that the Korean version got a firmware update that helped, though who knows when we'll see that in America.

i noticed after a while my always on display turns off. is it supposed to do that even with good battery.
I also noticed that, but i had it in my pocket and after taking it out the always-on screen went on again, if i did not press the button while taking it out. But as i actually have the phone in a clear view cover, and there the always-on screen is deavtivated completely, i cannot say for sure.

My phone did the same thing the other day. Once I picked it up the display came back on.
I figured the phone was sad because I wasn't using it. LOL.
So after the night the display was still on. So just laying on the table did not turn it off. But i got a dead pixel over night. Well not really as the red pixel is only shown on the always-on display. As soon as i turn the phone on, the red pixel is gone.
there is a option in the settings that puts the screen completly off when it`s in a pocket or in the complete darkness since it`s using the light sensor on the phone.
I found in mind the feature fit toggled of somehow and I had to turn it back on. Not sure why.

Where do you find this setting?
Settings->Display--> keep screen closed(or something like that)
In my case, the actual setting for always on display keeps toggling OFF. Same for Edge Screen (Edge Panels). This has happened about five times since I bought the phone last week. I can't correlate it to anything like low battery or permissions. I guess a conflicting setting or app could be the culprit though. This has happened a few times even when I'm not using the phone for a short time. Any thoughts?
My S7 edge is doing the same thing also. In my case the Always On toggle is still set to on. I have no idea why the screen is just `turning off`.
It's a shame; I really got used to the always on.
Just a follow up; I determined why AOD kept turning itself off. Apparently dust or grime got between my tempered glass screen protector and the screen. Once I removed the tempered glass protector, the AOD began functioning again.
The same!

Don't know why, but the same happens to me, just randomly??
Mine S7, now with Oreo, also turns Always-on off it self. Maybe in connection with App updating or?. It has done that several times now.
Don't mix this problem up with Always-on turns off for power saving when screen is covered - in a pocket or face-down..
Hi folks,
Just recently I have noticed that the screen is staying awake on my Nexus 6P. My phone is sat on my desk in front of me now and hasn't been touched for 5 minutes and the screen is still on. I have the screen timeout set to 15s so it should be long since off by now.
Does anyone know what the fix might be for this or how to diagnose the cause?
Thanks

Did u try to reboot? Did you enable or install anything thatll keep the display on? If enabled the proximity sensor will detect motion and keep the display on.
While charging/not charging or both ?

Yes, tried a reboot but still happening.
Not enabled anything purposefully but i'm always installing apps although not necessarily anything that should keep the display on. I was hoping there might be an app / menu that could tell me what app was keeping the screen on.
RE: proximity sensor - the screen stays on even when its laid face up on my desk with nothing near it, so can't see it being that.

Boot into safe mode and see if it's still doing it. If not, then it's an app that is keeping it awake.
Thanks for the help guys.
I installed Wakelock Detector last night and instantly identified a rogue app - an IP Camera app I was using - that was keeping the screen on. Uninstalled and all fine now.
Cheers again.
