Was anyone experiencing the display randomly turning on & won't dim itself off. I am using the fingerprint lock so it stays on the screen asking for the alternate password. This happens while charging & when idle. The phone stays on until you press the power button. I am testing if is something to do with the fingerprint lock, switching to pattern lock. any ideas?
I also use fingerprint unlock and have noticed that the display will randomly turn on and ask for the alternative password. I just got the phone this past Sunday (6/8) and all I've really done to it is add the fingerprint security.
what ROM are you running?

Stock ROM, no changes.
I've also seen this. Usually happens to me at night for some reason. Screen turns on and when I hit the side button to turn off the screen it goes out for a few seconds then lights up again. Have to reboot to fix it.
Mine does it during the day at work quite a bit, I think it is from the home button being pushed in my pocket. It really should be associated with the light/proximity sensor as to when the button will work.
Having the same problem with both swipe and fingerprint unlock. I can understand swipe, fingerprint works better in my pocket then with my finger
Mine is constantly turning on in my pocket now. I have an otterbox commuter on it and edges are raised pretty good, doesn't seem like my leg would hit the home button but it's hard to tell
Only happens to me when connectivity state changes, or music skips for a notification

I am having this problem on stock unrooted ND2 as well as RDDT. I also noticed on both that I get notification sounds with NO notifications showing up. So I have my notification sound going off a few times each hour for no reason unless I leave my phone on silent.
As far as the screen coming on randomly, I found that disabling air wake has helped a little bit. Especially overnight, I leave my phone next to my pillow (yea, I am a junkie...) and the screen would turn itself on every time I rolled over, and the screen would stay on after that until I woke up and turned it off. I know it was staying on because a couple of times I reached over the phone, screen turned on and I watched it for about 5 minutes (screen time out is set to 15 seconds) and it didn't shut off.
TL;DR Turn off air wake - Need help figuring out phantom notifications (still exist after multiple factory resets and almost no apps installed)
My issue stopped once I installed a glass screen saver. Home button is now countersunk with the 0.33 mm. Cover & review.

I installed the same one, lol. It still does it, not as often though
I was using standard pattern lock screen on stock rooted and had this issue. It was the wave to wakeup feature that was causing it. I turned it off and it went away. 3 days with no waking by itself.
I've never had that turned on.
looks like you guys turn on air wake and it's working sensetively. on the contrary, mine is numb

It was numb for me too when it wasn't being awakened by ghosts. The other guy said he didn't have that feature on so not sure what the other issue(s) is/are.

air wake is a nice feature to extend the lives of home & power button, except it always makes me look like an idiot when I am waving my palm over the phone again and again.
I tried to set the mode to unlock by fingerprint and keep air wake on for a whole day, but I didn't encounter that problem. maybe it just affects some devices, maybe it's not air wake.
Anybody found a real solution for this inconvenient?!
This only happens at Lollipop... 2 months ago I updated and because this annoying issue that was draining my battery I downgraded to Kit Kat...
Last weekend I decided to give another shot to Lollipop, but the issue remains...
I tried all settings relative to screen and lock screen and nothing worked!

I have the same problem. My battery has been life does not even last me until the end of work. Trying a fix now that I just thought of though. This problem is incredibly frustrating at night too.
I believe its the connection optimizer. Go to Settings > More networks > Mobile networks > Connections optimizer:
Then Uncheck "Connections Optimizer"
Seems to be working so far! So hopefully this helps the rest of you!
This Fix did not work still perplexed by this problem.
After rooting and removing a lot of bloat, I got rid of it. I have no idea which app it is though. Maybe an xposed module logging screen wakes could be of assistance. But I too noticed it immediately after flashing a lollipop ROM.

I am writing to ask if their is any way to prevent the screen from turning on when a notification is received. I believe this was how android had worked up until this lollipop update. The problem is when i get stuck in a group message that lasts for hours, my screen is turning on constantly, causing my phone to really warm up my pocket, and look my battery. I have tried "no notifications" to lock screen but it still turns the display on. I am running stock lollipop on nexus 5, not rooted. Any suggestions are appreciated!! Thank you.
Ot must be app specific because mine doesn't turn on on notifications

I have similiar problem; ever since Lollipop update my screen turns on when I rotate the phone, or when I slide it into my belt clip pouch case. It then heats up, opens apps, etc and battery drains quickly. So irritating! Never did this before lollipop. Need fix ASAP please!!
These symptoms sound like ambient display but only custom ROMs have this. Odd..
Hello!
My oneplus one is having this issue for a while now, When I plug it in and lock the device, there is a 60~70% chance that the display stays on but its just blank, I have to unlock it and lock it again to fix it.
Recently this also started happening when it was not charging and the screen would often stay on causing massive battery drain :/
This happens on every single rom all the way from CM11S up to CM13 and also oxygen os,...
Does anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks,
Noahvt
I have the same problem since I can remember, also looking for an answer.
I have a similar issue. Sometimes the screen stays on, but is dimmed. A simple double press of the power button resolves it (turn on full, turn off screen) but its mildly irritating. I have only noticed it since being on sultanxdas cm12 ROM. I had an issue with a notification LED app not working since a recent ROM update so uninstalled it. Maybe the issue was related to that app as I cant remember the issue occurring since I uninstalled it a few days ago.
Hello All.
Anybody else have the same issue like me?
I have around 4 seconds lag during wake-up phone with double-tap. But only when phone goes to sleep with camera application opened in front.
This is strange.
If camera app is opened in front and phone goes to sleep - long wake-up with double-tap.
With power button wake-up -> phone wake-up immediately.
If phone goes to sleep with any other application opened in front (home screen, any other app) -> double-tap wake up phone immediately.
I have this issue on few last nougat versions. Today I applied Oreo update and still the same issue.
In safe-mode still the same. I have opened service ticket to HTC but I would like to know if anybody else see the same issue?

Now that I have watched the video,, mine acts the same.
That's a "normal" behavior, on android when the screen brightness needs to change this lag always appear. I develop an app to turn screen off by changing the brightness and timeout times, and happens this same lag in a various devices seems to be an android issue.
So what I did to "hde" the lag was to add a screen with some info like day, date and time.
But on your case there is no solution yet.
Strange. So, why waking up phone with fingerprint scanner or power button wakes it very quick?
Why this "issue" can be seen only when camera app is on top? [if other app is on top phone wake up every time very quick]?
This looks for me like issue in HTC software. Not "standard android behaviour"

Because camera change the screen brightness, the problem is in changing screen brightness and not the action that you are performing.
ok, this explains question 2. But what about question 1 : "why waking up phone with fingerprint scanner or power button wakes it very quick?" ???

That one I don't know for sure, but I think that can be due to the way the it turn the device.
Double tap is controlled by "lockscreen app/kernel", the power button and fingerprint it android native code and kernel, can be that but just htc knows!
Did you tried to ask then about that in twitter or via support emaill?
I just made additional test: manual brightness, full level. The same phone behaviour.
In my opinion this is something in kernel / wake-up procedure. I raised support ticket to HTC.

Ok, let us know what they answer
I have reading the forum and tried contacting 1+7 also but they just say switch off nfc and so on but till today (1 month since I bought it ) I still have the problem . while making a call it goes on hold or connects another call or something or the other happens and the other person gets irritated as if I am doing on purpose. I am still unable to solve this will changing rom be the solution or can someone please help I am fed up with this instrument
My 2 cents... are you sure that it's a ghost touch issue? To me it seems more a proximity sensor trouble... it is possible that, while in call, screen doesn't go off (or wake up while you're talking) and your ear triggers commands at random.
Try to check that your screen remains black while in call, else you could try to reset sensors with one of the apps available on Play Store.
BTW: I had a similar problem one or two times, but maybe because I wasn't so near the phone while I was talking.
will try out can you advice reset sensors apps

Search for "Proximity sensor reset" or similar names. Usually apps like that needs root privileges, btw.
I've had problems with the screen waking up and then causing problems while in call too. This while it's still against my face. Apparently touching my face makes it go into other apps and causes problems. I've had it go into airplane mode, mute and do other weird stuff.
I've had the screen go crazy with multiple chains of taps too, especially while holding it in landscape mode.
Turning the refresh rate down to 60 Hz helped some, but the problem's still there.
I think there's something jacked in their implementation. I came from an S8 that had a curved screen and I never had the phantom tap problems I have with this thing.

I'll try that, but I don't think I have that enabled. I disabled NFC for the other tap issues and that helped some.
I really wish there was a screen calibration tool. Samsung curved screens have none of these issues.
Do you have a dirty screen protector?
This is a known bug with the proximity sensor, although, actually, I believe the root cause is something else.
Screen does go black, which indicates the proximity sensor is working and recognizes your face is near... But input is still allowed (meaning it does not lock it).
As a result, during a call your face/ear will press whatever is underneath and trigger random actions.
I believe (I hope?) that OnePlus is aware of this issue and they issue a fix.
I think it was briefly fixed for 9.5.9 and then reverted on 9.5.10 since it introduced other issues.
Quality control has been a bit subpar on the OnePlus 7 Pro builds when compared to my previous OnePlus phones...
I've been experiencing a possible bug where I start getting random little haptic clicks happening by themselves. The clicks are pretty much the same as what you get when you take the S pen out of its slot or tap a nav bar button.
Basically the phone will behave fine for hours and then all of a sudden these haptic clicks start happening here and there while I'm using the device, but are not related to anything I'm doing at the time. So for example I could be turning the volume up or pulling down the notification shade and a second later I'll get a random click or two. It then keeps on happening intermittently as I interact with the phone. A restart fixes the issue every time - at least for a few hours - which makes me think it's a software bug of some kind.
Anything else noticed this? I'm using an unlocked UK Exynos version SM-N986B.
I am noticing the same thing and it is driving me nuts. ? It's constant haptic click like when the spen is removed and I can't figure out what it causing it. I have a Verizon US version. I seem to notice it when I have a case on it. Using the ESR case with the kickstand.

Good to know I'm not alone. Interesting that this issue can affect the Snapdragon and Exynos versions. I'll look into your theory about the case. I'm using a Ringke Fusion, but next time the clicks happen I'll take it off to see if that makes a difference.
Otherwise I guess this is just one of those little bugs you always get when you're one of the first to buy a newly released device. I'm sure they'll fix this in a future update.
I'be been using mine since last Thursday with an Otterbox case and have not had that issue, mine is an unlocked variant from the Samsung store.

That sounds like a strange bug. I have the N20U 512GB unlocked US version from the Samsung store and have been using it for 3 days now and haven't had that issue.
When you say "click" do you mean like a random screen press or a small vibration?

Small vibration. Like when you pull out the spen. It comes and goes. Hasn't done it for the last 4 to 5 hours and then all of the sudden it's starts doing it again. I may do a factory reset as I am having multiple issues from the spen intermittently not working, horrible studder when scrolling with the 120hz turned on, sub par photos that are washed out and blurred, and atrocious battery life. Maybe I got a complete dud.
So I ended up reformatting the phone and chose not to do a restore but download everything manually including the settings and apps. The odd haptic feedback click is gone as well as some of the other issues so far.

Ahh the old restoration bug striked again. The only things I restore are media/photos, messages and contacts. Great to hears the problem wasn't too serious.
Getting the same thing on Galaxy S20 ultra. I noticed that it all started after the update i got on the 21st
it feels like the side panel compass
when u have the bug again just tilt your phone a little and check the panel if its the compass

I also thought the compass could be the cause of this - like maybe it was still clicking on the 0° mark even when the side panel was closed - but so far I haven't been able to confirm that as the cause as it doesn't do it on cue.
In fact the last time I experienced the haptics bug I was editing the button order on the pull down quick panel, but I wasn't able to reproduce it this way a second time so it just feels like it happens at random times. And now suddenly for the last two days it hasn't happened at all, but I don't know if that's down to anything that I have done or a setting I changed
For me the jury's still out on this one.
I just had it start today! So annoying. I have no idea what it is. I do have the compass edge panel. I'll look out for that.
Snapdragon unlocked model here.
I just got the phone and I noticed the same thing. I did use the cable to transfer everything to the new phone. Nothing I tried worked until I factory rested it and manually installed my apps. I did notice that if I shake the phone it will do the haptic click a second after I stop shaking it. It seems to be coming from the bottom camera lens.
i removed the tools panel from my edge panel and couldnt reproduce this haptic bug again...
I am also having this problem too. Can't pinpoint what reproduces it yet.
