Random screen wakes...? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else have their screen wake up for no reason randomly? Happens at least a couple of times an hour for me - screen wakes up as though I've hit the power key, but I haven't, the phone will just be sitting flat on my desk. No notifications, no nothing.
Stock, rooted....no Lightflow, no SmartStay, etc.
Thanks!

Why won't my screen stay off?

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.

Unale to bring out of sleep

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?

19/6 ParanoidAndroid w/ AK269 - 'SCREEN DOESN'T TURN ON'

Does anyone else get this issue:
Sometimes, when I try to unlock my phone, the screen remains black. Sometimes the capacative buttons light up, but not all the time. Double tapping doesn't turn the screen on, pressing the power button doesn't turn the screen on.
I just press and hold the power button when it happens to make the phone restart, and then it starts optimizing all the apps on start up as well. This has happened 3-4 times in the last day. Very annoying. Any ideas how to fix this would be much appreciated!

verizon galaxy s3 screen won't shut off after any event triggers it on

when my phone screen lights up to notify me of some kind of event text/phone call/whatever it wont shut off. once its triggered it doesnt shut off until i manually press the power button to shut it off. it will stay on all night. i will go to bed, wake up, find that i missed a message or something from like an hour after i fall asleep and 8 hours later the screen will still be on. i've gone through all my settings and cant find a fix. i've done my best to search online and cant find any fix. i've even done factory resets but nothing helps. it immediately does the same thing. very frustrating. any suggestions or help you could offer would be most appreciated.

[APP] Has anyone gotten Always On Edge reminder lights to work on their Pixel 3a?

The thread title pretty much sums it up. I am wondering if anyone who is using the app Always on Edge (AOE) for their notifications has gotten the reminder lights to work on their Pixel 3a. If so, what combination of settings did the trick? I can get the lights to trigger when the notification first comes in, but they never appear again. I have tried all varieties of the AOD being on, off, on with notifications only, etc., with no luck.
It seems to be working for me. I checked "when a notification comes" and "lighting for 8 seconds every 30 seconds" right below.
This app is what I was looking for to replace LED notifications, I'm currently testing it but it seems pretty well made and with lots of options.

Do the reminders still trigger if the screen wakes - either from the notification itself, or because you manually woke it up?
What do you mean? Right now if I receive a notification, the edge lights up for 8 seconds, turns off, then lights up again after 30 seconds and so on.
If I get to the lockscreen by touching the screen or pressing the power button and then let it turn off again, the reminder won't show up anymore. I guess this is intended, if you wake the screen, presumably you have seen the notification and you don't need to be reminded anymore.

Okay, this is consistent with what I noticed. Even if you don't wake up the screen yourself, if you have it set up where incoming notifications wake the screen temporarily, you don't get the reminder lights. Or even if you had the screen on already, walked away, and got a new notification before the screen had a chance to dim. I think an update is coming soon to fix this. But glad to hear it's not just me.
