Hey guys I notice sometimes one every month or so when I turn off my phone (standby mode, not hard or soft reset) the phone is still on however its a black background (backlight)
What causes this error to happen? the only way for me to get rid of the backlight issue is by pulling out the battery and turning it back on.
i am having the same issue and it is draining the battery! i hope someone figured this one out
I was just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing problems where there power/sleep button doesnt bring the phone out of sleep mode and the phone just remains black. Let me know.

They only annoying issue i have is when coming out of sleep and upon pressing the power button i get a 7 sec delay before the phone lights up.

I just started experiencing that my phone wont go into sleep mode after pressing the power button. I can hold it down and pop up menu to turn off shows, and bring it out of sleep after the 15 sec delay i have set up but thats it any ideas?
The only issue I have is when the phone goes to sleep wifi turns off and the captivate starts charging data to my plan. Does this happen to anyone else and if so is there a known cure?
I had my phone not go to sleep at set timeout one time. It may have been due to an app i installed. I rebooted and no problem since.
As for using data when asleep - Wifi turns off when the phone goes to sleep mode - this is the way it behaves, same as iPhone and other android phones. You have some app connecting in the background, maybe email sync?
You can keep the wifi on during sleep by going into the Settings-> Wireless and Network -> Wi-Fi Settings. Press the menu button in Wi-Fi settings press on "Advanced".
In there is an option called Wi-Fi sleep policy. Switch that to Never and you shouldn't have to worry about the wifi turning off when in sleep mode.

Yea It was an app I installed, I did a reinstall from a back up and it works now.
Captivate Shutting Down Instead of Sleeping
Mine is doing this too, as are a few others, from the look of some posts on here. Mine started after a day and a half and two full charges. Suddenly I would go to wake it up and it will have turned off.
I'm thinking I might take it back to the store to exchange it, as not everyone is experiencing this problem. Sucky. I did notice that the battery, after you take the door off, is a little wiggly on the side opposite the connectors. I wedged some thin paper in the between the battery and the battery slot and it still did it. Got to be a problem with the individual phone.
Total PITA!!
I had problems with mine shutting off while in sleep mode and I uninstalled SetCpu and my task killer and it stopped doing it....
stock rom no mods. phone shuts down randomly mainly seems to happen when waking out of sleep mode. only way to restart is with battery pull. any ideas on cause or a way to log what is phone is doing as to narrow problem down.
Anybody please
Hello,
I got a new S7 this week. I noticed since I got it that after it has been on day or two the screen timeout stops working, that is, the phone display dims after 30 seconds but never locks -- it says on dimmed. I have to press the power button to turn off the display and lock.
Anybody else seen this? Any ideas?
Thanks!
Rusty
Recently, my Fit2 Pro has started keeping the screen on while I'm out running. It used to turn off after the timeout (15 seconds) but now I have to turn the screen off manually, and then it'll turn on again and stay on. Maddening.
I've had to get around this by turning DND on or by turning off the wake gesture. Anyone else getting this problem or is my unit faulty?
