Hey all. My Skyrocket seems to be turning the screen on by itself at random intervals. Sometimes it will turn itself off by the screen timeout set at 30 seconds but sometimes I will have to manually turn the screen off. Sometimes after turning the screen off when I go to bed I wake up in the morning to see my phones screen on. I believe an app is causing this to happen but I am trying to figure out which one it is. Instead of wiping clean and never finding the culprit I want to spend some time digging. I caught the phone in the act just recently and grabbed the logs. It happened right around 1:30am. Please see attachment for log.
I looked over the log but did not see anything obvious. Maybe someone with more knowledge can take a peek at the log and find something of value.
Thanks!
I guess I should also mention my Skyrocket is rooted with stock rom and kernel running 2.3.5.

Has anybody else come across this?
I’ll have my NS on charge with the screen off, I go away for a minute and when I come back the screen is on. This happens quite frequently now and the other this is if I leave it the screen will not turn off by itself, I have the screen timeout set to two minutes but it doesn’t seem to make any difference as the screen will just stay on regardless.
This has happened on the stock rom, CM7 alpha and Bionix
Thanks.
Just realised

I will move to Q&A
Thanks 0.o
Havnt had this problem. Maybe its caused by an app u have running. Some apps prevent the phone from sleeping.
Moved to Q&A for you
Had read a few suggestions for fixing this "sleep of death" issue on the G tabs... doesn't seem anyone has posted this
I've tried multiple ROMS, multiple apps like Regpon Wifi stay awake etc. and multiple GTabs...
The only thing that repeatedly seems to completely fix the not waking after sleep issue is an app called "Captivate Keep Alive"
Instead of tying wake to WiFi or CPU, it lets you tie it to battery %.
Try it, let me know if it works on your ROM.
Tested working 100% for Vegan 5.1.1 and CM 7 Harmony.
Tablet used to require boot after leaving it, now it will always wake up, after 1 hour, 20 hours, etc. Plugged in or not.
Completly agree. I tried all ROMs, and Kernals(up to .40). Nothing helps, but Captivate Keep Alive.
I had a similar, but not same issue. My WiFi would turn off completely when teh screen went blank. I could not ping it. Turns out that I had to update my kernel to pershoot's 2.something.39. That fixed it. I do find it every now and then totally unresponsive but pressing the power button patiently 3-4 times wakes it up. I'm running CM7.
App works
So glad I found this thread. I was having this same issue using TNT Lite and installed Captivate Keep Alive. I have been able to turn on from sleep without the reboot.
I have the screen set to always on (no time out) when I have it in the car, it stays on fine while listening to music or if it just sitting there doing nothing, but no matter if I get a call or I make a call -- the screen will always turn off after a couple seconds even though the screen is set to always stay on, also as soon as the call ends -- the phone automatically locks and I have to log in / unlock it every time. I know on the old Froyo ROMs it would stay on if I had it set to always on -- didn't matter a call or not, it stayed on like it is supposed to do and it did not automatically lock either. I am on the Weapon 3.0ROM and I am using the same widgetsoid app as the the switching mechanism for the "always on" screen setting in a widget on one of the home screens. I have checked the widgetsoid settings and there is no definition between call settings and normal data for the screen time out. Under settings in the main menu, there is no toggle to enable/disable the proximity sensor either, but since the phone face has nothing close to it when it is mounted in the car (like it would be if you had it up to your ear), I don't think that this is the proper setting to manipulate. I really believe that this is a timing setting, and I am wondering if it is separate setting that can be changed or linked to the normal screen time out settings.
Is there a way to stop the screen from timing out on the Weapon3.0 Rom during phone calls and then automatically locking the phone when the call ends? its getting a bit annoying and any help would be appreciated.
Am I really the only one experienceing this?
I have tried fully wiping the G2x and started from scratch reloading the ROM, apps, settings, etc. and with the Weapon 3.0ROM when the phone is plugged in charging it still automatically shuts the screen off a few seconds into a call, and then locks the phone even though I have the LCD screen setting set to always be on.
For the most part I really like the Weapon ROM, but this auto screen off and locking when I have the G2x plugged in, in the car is annoying as ****, any help to remedy this problem would be appreciated.

I think that is an unwanted "feature" of the 2.3.3 Gingerbread rom. I am not sure of anyway around it without changing to a rom that is not 2.3.3 based.
Hey there,
I just got my N5 a few days ago and I have noticed that when the screen is off, it actually is not. It's not off like in I turned the phone off, but off as in it's black but there seems to be some light still coming through. Pretty much like having a all black picture being displayed or when the Google bootlogo comes on, that kinda black. I am running Purity and Franco Kernel but I don't think that would have any cause into it.
I have tried rebooting multiple times, turned off hot word detection but still seems to be present.
I'm sure this isn't normal but if someone could suggest any solution, that would be great.
EDIT: OK, actually I figured it out just mere moments after posting this. It was an option in Lightflow to control the backlight while screen off. It was checked on.... derp. Also, there was an option in trickster for led control and I toggled that and saved and it turned the screen completely off now. Leaving this up for a helpful hint if anyone else experiences this type of issue
Just posted this in another old thread, but thought it's worth highlighting. Noticed today that my screen would come on by itself a second or so after I put the phone down, or if I was holding it and swinging my arm as I walked. After lots of searching discovered a setting was causing it. Settings > Display > Keep Screen Turned Off was turned on. Turned it off and problem solved. No more random screen turning on. There can be other causes, but this one didn't show up in any of my Google searches, so just paying a tip forward. Cheers.

My S7 Edge started doing this about a week ago, but the setting you noted was off... so I turned it on. Maybe it's something in the last update that makes it wonky. I'll let you know if it works.

That setting being off is the default I believe. My phone didn't start turning on until after I had turned that setting on, I just didn't notice the connection since I'd changed several options, and didn't see the spontaneous turn on until the next day. There can be other causes, so may not be your issue. But keep us posted.
