I have a rooted thunderbolt (thanks for all who made that possible). in the last couple of days I have noticed that the screen does not timeout. I don't know if it is a rouge app, or some other problem. I have done some searching and it appears that I am not the only one with this problem, but I have not seen a solution to the problem yet.
After a reboot it does appear to work correctly for a time though. If it is an app how would I find out which one is doing it? As a side question. If I do a hard reboot will I lose root?

Go to Spare Parts > Battery History and select "Partial Wake Usage" from the first dropdown. Should tell you what the culprit is.

i've noticed the same thing intermittently over the last few days, let me know if you figure out how to fix it
Yeah, I get this too.
Do you guys run Titanium? My screen wouldn't turn off this morning, and now that I'm paying more attention, I noticed Titanium ran an auto-backup last night on the charger. That might just be a coincidence, but something to look out for.

Well the spare parts thing did not work...
Any other ideas?
The only time I had this happen was when I bumped the volume buttons as I was setting the phone down. Somehow the volume indicator on the screen got stuck or something and the screen never shut off. I just started being more careful not to bump the volume, or actually pressing the power button to shut the screen off. Idk if this is your issue or not, just thought I'd throw it out there.

Change the setting to disable "partial wake locks" (in TB) and it will go back to sleep.
pandora radio also has a toggle to keep the screen on while its in use.
maybe you guys are using pandora?

Hi,
Since two days I'm a happy and proud Note owner, but there's one thing, that makes me really go crazy:
I installed the program "Widgetlocker", because the standard lockscreen is quite broing. It actually works quite good, but sometimes the standard lockscreen still apears. Not instead of the widgetlocker, but additional. So I always have to unlock two lockscreens.
Does anybody else has got this problem? And how can I fix it?
I tried to find a solution in different forums and in the program configuration, without sucess!
Thanks for help!
Edit: The error apears mostly when there's a pop-up (gtalk e.g.) or when I plug in the charger....
I turned on root helper and home helper in settings, that fixed it for me. I'm on Stock Rooted XXKK9 if that helps.

My widgetlocker works fine. Been using it since day 1. Hmm.. Sorry. Not sure how to help.
chrcad,
Your problem seems related to the fact that Android is not having enough memory left ans simply closes "useless" apps and considers that WL is part of them. To prevent that to happen, simply check in advanced settings the "refuse to suspend WL" box and Android will look another application than WL to close

Thanks @ everybody for the help, but unhappily it's still not working properly.
The problem always apperas, when the phone's sleeping and a gTalk message comes in.... but ONLY, when the gTalk ppop-up is activated......
Any (more) idea?
you are leaving it running all the time aren't you?
I use to have the same problem, very rarely but it was still annoying. I have put a lock on widgetlocker so if I ever close all programs, widgetlocker is still running. It's not happened since but it's only been a few days so I'll see.

Some pop-ups cause this if they're designed to appear underneath the stock lockscreen rather than dismiss it.
For now:
1) Easy Wake Mode disables the system lockscreen
2) WL Settings > Long-press volume down for Experimental > Aggressive Dismiss stock lockscreen. This should work, but it's not well tested yet so it's off by default.
Can anyone recommend and good screen lock/off app? I want something that I can press on my homescreen instead of having to press the power button when im driving. I used Screen Lock and Off on my nexus but supposedly it's not compatible with the s3. All the others Ive tried either have delays or some unnecessary animations etc. Im looking for something nice and simple. Thanks

I've used Invisible Lock Widget in the past, but it seems like you have to hit it twice on the S3 to get it to work.
I use something simply called "lock screen widget" available in the market. Works perfectly.
Thanks I will give these a try.

Screen Lock and Off works perfectly fine on my S3 (as well as my wife's). Initially, it would either flicker first then turn off, or the screen would go blank for 2 seconds or so then turn back on. I solved this by going into settings and checking the "Delay Device Locking" option. It says, "If the screen turns off and comes back on immediately or you want to use screen off animiations, then you can use this option." The apps now works great.

I tried this, but my screen turns right back on....
Ok found the Screen Off and Lock apk at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577380
The screen comes back on for a second after pressing, but then shuts off (with the delay option enable) which I guess is better than nothing. The others mention in this thread don't keep the screen off, but thanks for all your help anyway.
If anyone else has any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks!
The screen timeout modes only let you set various timeouts... but I'd like to have an easy way to make the screen stay always-on for when I'm in the car. It works all right for GPS apps because they force it, but google music still turns off

there are other ways to do it, but I use the app "My Settings Pro" to set the screen timeout to never, works perfectly.
Does it give you a way to do it as a quick toggle? Like I said, I don't want this always... just when I'm in the car.. and even so... something automated would be nice.

I made a dock shortcut to open the app with one click.
The app gives a screen with a bunch of toggles for settings: ringer mode>screen brightness>lock screen on/off>WiFi on/off>GPS on/off>Bluetooth on/off>AutoSync on/off>auto rotate on/off>screen timeout>Airplane Mode on/off>network mode etc.etc.etc.
I have used it in my last 4 phones, it is one of the first apps I always install after a ROM flash.
Another way would be to use widgetsoid and a screen timeout toggle to accomplish this. You can make it toggle pretty much any settings you want.

Never had a problem with this option. If I'm plugged in the the screen stays on.
just curious but isnt that just asking for a burn in?
T mobile us, rooted unlocked, never put custom Rom on it. I used to be able to tether even when screen shut off, now once the screen shuts off the data stops until I turn the screen back on. Any ideas how to fix this besides leaving screen on?
Not yet.

Bummer.
This actually had me thinking, since google play music is running before the screen shuts off and it constantly draws data, maybe thats why it stays active even when the screen is off. So I am going to have to test this theory by loading a huge webpage on the tethered device to see if you need a constant demand for data for tethering to keep working, I suppose I could just a youtube video.
Edit: My theory panned out and may lead to a fix. This is what I did
1) Turn on FoxFi an make sure screen doesn't time out 2} Tether my Asus Infinity to it making sure the phone screen doesn't time out 3) Start a long youtube video using the youtube app, I tried a 7 minute one. 4) Turn screen off on the phone and I was able to watch the whole video while tethered to my one s
My conclusion is if there is a constant data draw the tether will keep working even when screen is off. So they have enabled a rapid cutoff of wifi if your screen shuts off with no data draw, if there is a draw the data will keep flowing.
Test it out for yourself and share your results, off to try netflix.
Edit 2: Further testing confirms this on my device, This time I used netflix streamed dark of the moon and it continued to allow the tether to work. I dont want to burn my months data out testing this so we need a few more people to try this.
I have the EU rom but I'm experiencing the same issue.
I'm using Airdroid and it stops responding as soon as the screen shuts off. I can confirm that Ready2Mosh is right, since if I turn on the web radio and then shut off the screen Airdroid works flawlessly.
I have never noticed this before 4.0.4 so I'd guess the bug wasn't there. This is a major bug that has to be fixed soon by HTC.
What about 3g connection? Does it shut off too?
Does it do it if you just use the built in tethering app?
I don't think it is really a bug with android per se vs design
that is sleeping the app as backgrounded since screen is off and not being over riden anymore.
You're right. Tethering isn't put to sleep for me.
I can confirm the issue with airdroid and other apps though. I'm going to open a new thread in order not to hijack this one.
I tried airdroid and that works fine for me though.

Nope, still stops.
Maybe it's a common issue but I haven't found any info when searching about it.
I have a P11 Pro, and since I got it, I have always been having the same issue with the tablet waking up on its own quite often, randomly, or even sometime refusing to go back to sleep.
I disabled any setting that might waking it up (tap to wake, move to wake...), and disabled several apps, but it changes nothing.
It's especially annoying since when I don't use a screen lock, with the 5 minutes stay on time I set, it keeps waking and empty the battery quite fast.
Using a screen lock reduce the issue as the tablet goes back to sleep quickly, but still doesn't solve the problem. And I don't want to use screen lock when I use the tablet at home.
Does any you know that issue, or how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!
Do you have a keyboard attached or some Bluetooth devices like mice?
Does it have a built in sensor for lid close and open when used with the original keyboardcover? That might be causing the issue then.
Did you try a factory reset?
Is the latest system update installed?

Nothing connected.
Yeah the lid has a sensor, but it does it even when I remove the cover completely or when I leave it closed and not moving.
Yes I did several factory reset, update of the firmware, and yes I'm on the latest one.
As far I can understand, a process on the tab itself is waking up the tab randomly, I just can't put my finger on which app/function does it.

Nothing visible there either, the app that keeps waking up the tab isn't necessarily taking any battery.
I didn't mention as it is very visible from my profile, but I'm not a beginner with android, very far from it, if I'm asking here it's because I already tried all the obvious things
I am asking if anybody has the same issue and/or was able to fix it. If not, I guess it's just my unit.
You might try this
The command like this:
adb shell dumpsys batterystats --checkin
provides a statistic for wakeups, including the reasons.
Mine wakes up. Can't figure out why either but then I'm not by any means an Android ace. I turn the screen off then after some period of time it'll turn back on. Nothing in the notifications bar the screen just turns back on for no apparent reason. So yes, it is happening to someone else but no answer as to why.

I'm sad to say that you were right, the magnetic cover was at least partially to blame for the wake events. That's a huge bummer, since I guess there is no way to fix the issue
I had this issue.
I said that notifications must not wake up the tablet and it did not appear anymore.
I know there was no notification, but it worked for me.
(in fact, sometimes, I had the impression that a notification appeared for a very short time)

Everything is disabled there.
But I am quite convinced it comes from the smartcover, as since I enterily removed it, I don't have the issues anymore and the battery lasts weeks (with light usage) instead of 2 days like before.
Issue is that there is no way to disable the smart cover magnet...

That is probably it. I just thought I'd offer I had similar happen and had accidentally turned that on so it was turning on every time anything moved near it.

Hi, I was looking for a solution to the waking up of the screen. In the ¨AI Experience Center¨ there is an option called ¨automatically screen light-up¨. I turned this off, because it said that if sensor detects a face, the screen lights up, and also "other" objects can trigger this screen light up. I suppose the cover is detected while closed. Other object in the range of 0.5m can also trigger this light up. Also deactivated the notifications icons in the status bar, if not doing this, it continues to light up the screen in my P11.
Mine does the same thing...just sitting there and all of a sudden the screen lights up.
Solution:
Settings -> Display -> Lock Screen -> When to show
Turn "new notification" off
