So it seems that my phone backlight stays on at random times after pressing the power button to turn screen off. I don't notice it in the day because the background is black, but i've noticed while using my phone at night that the back light stays on. I can't recreate the issue, it just happens at random times. Doesn't matter what ROM i use, it still did it with all roms. Does anyone else get this problem? The reason i say problem is because it drains the battery quickly when the backlight is on. It can go from 60% to Dead in less than an hour.
Currently running stock rooted 2.3.6
Screen is at lowest brightness
I Always press the power button to turn off screen when i'm done using it
I have screen timeout set to the lowest (15 seconds)
Any ideas?
I had this happen once when testing out chainfire3d. Restored a cwm backup and haven't seen it since.
got same problem once
When i had this prob, i was running RootDim @ background, so make sure u are not running any LCD brightness modifiers at the moment.

Guys, I installed a few apps recently, and now it seems my power always stays on, even though the screen and backlight turn off. This makes the device burn through the battery in 4-5 hours instead of days. How can I find out which app is causing this? Any idea?
Quite frequently when I hit the red button the screen goes off and then instantly comes back on. If I repeatedly hit the red button it just keeps going off and then popping back on. Sometimes it does go off, sometimes it doesn't.
Other times it goes off and then later for no apparent reason it comes back on.
Any ideas?
Turn up your backlight
It's a bug. I know it sounds ridiculous, but this happens when your screen brightness is set to 40% or less. Turn the brightness up, and the problem goes away.
Nice, I turned up my brightness and so far so good...
Thanks.
Anyone else having a problem where pushing the power button to turn the screen off, and then pushing the back button (sometimes with the menu button at the same time) turns the screen back on even after 10 seconds? I'm running TNT Lite 3.1.1 with needing to run the calibration issue. Seemed to happen after that, but not sure, and it was in 3.0 as well. But I did notice that if it's sleeping for a certain amount of time (undetermined at the moment), it does not work the same way.
As the title suggests, sometimes when my tf700 has had a long period of being idle if I go to use it and press the power button nothing will happen. I can still hear it functioning though cause I've accidentally taken screen shots when trying to reboot it when this happens, the screen is just black and I have to reset it.
Any suggestions?

Try switching WiFi sleep off and see if it helps.
Wifi sleep off?
I have that happen to me more than a few times. I just end up hitting power button and just tapping the corner. It works sometimes. but it's not always faster than just rebooting. Although, if you're going to reboot, just hold the power button till device shuts off.
What I think is happening is not that it's not waking, the display is just not turning on. I noticed this by plugging in the charger, which always turns on the display and device.
Yeah, the display isn't coming back up. I've noticed that too because I can still hear events occur (ie: unplugging the charger).
Another user on here tipped me off that it could be that it's in power save mode and the dimmer is COMPLETELY down, if you bump the brightness dimmer up just a hair, even 1 notch, it'll stop it from doing it, or at least it's stopped it so far for me since I changed it.
Why start two threads on the same issue?
I noticed that if i leave the screen on (with gravitybox) for a mid-long period, e.g. 30/60 min, the display will start flickering (or jumping) and the oscillation will increase with time. The only solution is to turn off the phone and let it rest for some time then power it on. Do you know why?

I am not sure if mine is related, but today my Nexus 5's screen flickered then went black. I can feel the phone vibrate when holding the power button down. But still nothing, tried plugging into computer and after unplugging I hear the low power chime. So I know that it is working aside from the screen staying black.
The phone is running 4.4.3 stock that I flashed via twrp, with faux123 18u kernel, exposed installer, gravity box. This could all be coincidence, and I could just have a bad screen. But does anyone have any suggestions?
