Hi,
So basically there's been times (much more frequent over the past days) where I press the power button to wake the device, but nothing on the screen displays (it just remains black). However, when I touch the screen (i.e. at the lock ring) the device vibrates so the device is technichally on, but nothing is displayed on screen?
How do I fix this problem? I've read about others experiencing similar problems, but is there a fix?
Help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Has been happening to me too, but only when I turn the screen off with Snapchat open. Is it happening when you leave an app open?

Hmm I have snapchat installed too, so maybe that's the problem? Yes, sometimes I'll leave an app open like whatsapp or snapchat

It sounds like an app is causing screen wakelocks, to fix this you would have to uninstall the app causing it or change its settings to stop it.
It you are rooted, download Wakelock Detector and look at the Screen Wakelocks, then you can see what app is responsible.
Have you got 'pocket mode' and/or 'active display' switched on?
Sorry for the inclear message I will try to re-explain. When I turn off the display with the hardware button on the side the display itself turns itself on automatically without me giving any input.
I decided to factory reset the phone ( before I read the messeges here on the forum ) this has fixed the issue but now the letter "R" on the keyboard seems to not respond. When I press the letter "R" the E or T gets shown it seems as if that part of the screen is not responding anymore.
Hello everyone.
I have a couple of problem with my xperia Z3. The problem is that when i press the side button to lock the phone, the phone get locked but the screen seems to be still on(and then turn completely off after a few seconds) . I mean that even if the phone is locked it's like i am seeing a completely black image. This doesn't always happens with Android KitKat but with the Lollipop upgrade i made yesterday flashing a generic Baltic firmware, the problem got worse! When it happens the screen stays on even after few seconds and it doesn't turn off and i'm forced to restart the phone to "solve" the problem. If it helps, when the phone locks fine the screen turns off immediatly but when the phone has this problem when i press the lock button i can see for a moment the screen locked, with the clock, the padlock icon, the fast dial icon and the fast camera icon ecc and then the screen turn black(but still on) like "something is slowing/blocking the phone from getting locked"
The second problem that i have is that sometimes when i make a call or recieve one when i put the phone to my ear the screen doesn't turn off and the tousch screen still works making me end the call unintentionally touching the screen with my ear for example. I haven't had this problem yet with Lollipop, but I used to have it with KitKat. Anyway this is the less important problem that i'd like to solve because even if the phone should work proprely by itself i can always accept the call and then lock the screen with the side button "solving" the problem of unintentionally ended calls. But the first problem really bothers me a lot and i'd really like to know how to solve it.
Does anyone have at least one of this two problems and knows how to solve them? Thank you !
I'm sorry for my english and i hope i've explained myself well. I've just restarted the phone so the problem at the moment doesn't persist but the next time it will happend i will make a short video to make you see exactly what happens or if you think that this two problem could be caused by an app just tell me and I will write you a list off the app that i've installed.
**Edit: I'm really sorry, i haven't read that this was the wrong section for questions, could someone move it to the right one? Thanks.

It worked! Thank you so much.
I noticed that sometimes while in pocket, the camera app just randomly opens even though I felt that I didn't really press the home button twice to open it and sometimes the lock screen unlocks while in pocket...really weird...
Does somebody else experience something similar?
I've never seen the screen turn on by itself but I have noticed when I unlock it, sometimes it's running some app that I never opened.

Exactly!
My Mi5 is facing a weird issue. Have jotted down all details below. Has anyone else faced this issue? What is the fix? Please help!
1. The phone works fine as long as the screen is on. It does not hang or face any issues.
2. After locking the phone, the screen does not come on (this happens sometimes not always). It always happens when I leave the phone un-touched for a while. The phone remains on (I can hear the lock sounds, phone ringing and also see the keypad lights) however the screen does not come on. I need to wait for a long time for it to work after multiple presses of the unlock button or I need to restart the phone.
3. I do not think it is a screen issue because it works when on. I think it is the 'sleep of death' issue.
4. I have reset the phone. I have re-loaded the global MiUI 8 ROM and also tried loading the developer rom. I have not rooted the phone so far. Happy to do it if needed.
5. The issue does not happen if I have the music player on and lock the screen. It tends to happen only when the phone goes totally to sleep with no applications using it in the background.
Please let me know what I can do to fix the issue.
Thanks.
Can't for some reason find an option anywhere on the phone to stop this from happening. Every time I'm on a call after about 10 seconds the screen will dim and a few seconds later goes to black. Can tap on screen 2x to wake it up again but I don't want this to ever happen. Not connected to full device shut down that I have turned up to 5 mins so has nothing to do with that setting. Can anyone assist and help me stop this form happening all the time? Many thanks!

Go to Settings/ Accessibility/ Screen reader/ Under Voice Assistant tap settings then scroll down to Quick Menu, tap it, then look for Dark Screen toggle. Click this setting off.. Let me know if that works for you.

Thank you! I turned it off. Next time I'm on a call I'll see if it did the trick and post back.

Not sure then because that was the only thing I could find.. Maybe it's a setting that we don't have control over.. I do know that the screen is supposed to shut off when it's close to your face and the reason being is so that your face isn't pressing on stuff and making the phone do things you don't want it to be doing.. My moms face sure does seem to disable a lot of stuff like fast charging and even turning the screen brightness so low that she thought it was broken haha..

HA. No, phone is on a desk, not near my face. But yeah most phones nowadays do that. Thanks for trying tho.
Anyone else with any thoughts?
Tried replicating the problem on my end. I called someone, enabled speakerphone and put the phone on the table.
The screen indeed turned dim after 10 seconds and turned black afterwards. It bypassed my screen timeout setting which is 5 minutes. The phone app is in the foreground. Double tapping the screen wakes it up.
I minimized the phone app; the homescreen is now in the foreground. It adhered to the 5 minutes screen timeout setting.
I guess the temporary workaround is that after you answer the call, exit out of the phone app.

Hi. I had the same problem and found the solution using third party application: Screen On Call from Google Playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vorlan.screenoncall.free
It is compatible with Samsung dialer. On the top later you have small button to prevent screen going dark or to disable it. Proximity sensor is working without problem when you hold the phone to the ear.

Yaaawhoooooooo!!! This totally works. I have been an Android user for years and could find an answer for this nowhere. Users, be sure to turn on "Appear on top".
Thank you. Life changing.
