Major problem: Notification popup and app overlays keep the display on - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I can't find anything on this issue, but a friend of mine with S7 edge also has this problem, so it doesn't seem like I'm the only one.
1. This is not notification waking up screen, though I'd like to turn that off too.
2. This is not popup showing and disappearing.
This affects the following:
1. If you get a notification popup that stays around, such as from LINE.
2. If you have an ongoing phone call or facebook call or any app overlay that stays when the screen is off.
The screen turns on by itself. Continuously. You can turn the screen off by pressing power. The screen will turn back on immediately. This kills the battery.
No one else has this?

Notifications are not cleared when already in app

Anyone notice how when you're already in an app with the screen off and you receive a notification for that app, when you turn the screen on it doesn't automatically clear it? For example, I'm on the home screen, turn the screen off, receive a text, turn screen on, open message thread, notification cleared. I REMAIN in message thread, turn screen off, receive another text from the same person, turn screen on, even though I'm already in the thread, the notification remains. This is extremely annoying because if you leave a message thread up, you must constantly clear notifications for no good reason.
Would you all consider this a bug? What's the best way to submit this to HTC?
EDIT: On second thought, this may only happen when the lock screen is disabled. I could've sworn I've seen it happen before even with the lock screen enabled, but only intermittently.

Screen turn on when messages received and home button turn on screen disable

Hi all
Is there any way to disable messages to turn on screen ?
And is there any way of disable the home button waking the phone ?
I am rooted. Thanks in advance

For the home button waking phone issue, see this thread in this forum from yesterday:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266545
I'm not as worried about the Home key, but I have the same complaint about receiving SMS.
When I receive a text message, my screen turns on for a few seconds, then turns off again. Is there a way to stop this?
If I touch the screen when it is on, it takes me into whatever I touched, and the screen stays on. That is particularly a problem when it turns on while in my pocket.
My phone is set to have no lock screen (and unless you use a PIN or similar, I don't know why you would want a lock screen - it's just one more step to get to using your phone).
My Messaging app is set to show notifications in the notification bar and play a sound and vibrate, but not to show a message preview.
So, I think it's actually a bug that the screen would turn on at all, just from receiving an SMS or MMS message.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to stop this behavior?

Lock Screen won't turn off

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.

Disable screen wake on notification

Has anyone found a way to disable screen wake for notifications? Every time I receive a new email or hangout message(Those are the two I've noticed so far) my screen will turn on. Driving me crazy.

Just tested it, I don't have screen wake on notification, neither with power plugged in, nor on battery. Also tried with with always on display, it only adds notification icon, doesn't even change the brightness.
Go into "settings" and turn off all notifications
it's also annoying that the screen lights up when the battery reaches 100% while wirelessly charging,
it lights up the whole bedroom.
This was driving me crazy. Came across 'SMS Popup' app I used years ago and it works like a charm. No more screen lighting up when a message comes in. Disable notifications in stock messaging app and enable in SMS popup. Unselect 'screen on for popup'. I like the popup options better than default messaging app too, you can configure the buttons and even have one that reads the message out loud.
Edit: After further testing, results are very inconsistent. Works great sometimes and not at all others. I have uninstalled and it's back to square one.

TMO: Incoming calls not waking screen and requiring unlocking before answering

Strange problem that comes and goes, but more often than not, the phone rings, screen doesn't turn on. I have to manually wake it and unlock with fingerprint before I'm presented with the answer/reject buttons. Also, it never shows the full screen answer screen, just the small notification window at the top of the screen. Not having any other issues with screen waking.
Completely stock 6t on T-mobile, btw.
Completely stock 6t on T-Mobile as well. I do not have this issue at all. By any chance, do you have an app opened when turning off the screen or are you on launcher/home screen? I've tried both but not able to reproduce your issue. Also, I presume you have rebooted the phone to see if it is a bug fixed by a reboot?

I'd say most of the time it happens its on home screen with no app open when the screen shuts off. It does not seem to be affected by rebooting, but I haven't sat down and done repeated testing to confirm. Thanks for the input though.
This happens to me as well. although I do sometimes get the full screen notice.
Has anyone found a fix for this yet?
