Screen goes blank when using.

Hi
I did try searching but couldn't fine any else with this topic open.
Sometimes when using my note the screen go off and I have to press the power button twice to get back to lock screen to login.
I knw a few have mentioned this when using LN but I have found i have the problem at random times.
I have change both my display setting locking and screen going off.
But none seems to fix this.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Same issue on my end. I'm stock. I use LN, but it happens when I'm not running the app. Has anyone uninstalled to test? It would be last resort for me due to all of the notes I have.

I contacted samsung and was told the normal wipe system (factory rest ) I have done that before and when asked with the same problem.
The next fix by them was to take it to a walk in centre, my tablet was sent to Samsung in about feb.
So that wont help.
I have seen sum1 say the fault only happens with auto brightness on.
So I will try with this off unless sum1 can say if the fault us still there either way.

[Mod] S4 Stock ROOTED rom change HOME button wake mode

I AM NOT TAKING ANY CREDIT FOR THIS, FOUND ON GOOGLE AND WANT TO SHARE
Mount as R/W
Open /system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl. with text editor
Go to "key 172 HOME WAKE" line
Delete word WAKE
Save and exit
Reboot phone
That's all , now you stoped the home button from waking up your device.
Probably working on all roms but i tested with rooted stock rom.

Will work on rooted stock roms for sure

Can we make the home button wake and unlock the device?

That seems like the complete opposite of its purpose when the device is in sleep.
But you can just turn off the lock screen, and you accomplish what you're asking for. No security at all though. Butt dials like a mother. No one wants that.

I know it's the complete opposite of this mod but it will be faster (IMO) to double click the home button to wake-unlock the device.
But no lock screen will definitely cause butt dials

looking for the same thing.

Not working in Sprint S4 running liquid smooth (AOSP is ya didn't know). Been searching everywhere. Anyone know if there's a way to disable it on AOSP roms? Tried removing wake from every single file inside the key layout folder but met with no success...

Thanks, it was very useful to me, to re-enable the wake up screen on home button.

Not work

Need a app to keep the screen on like knock on

Is there a app that doesn't lock the screen when the display turns off, I find it a bit annoying on android to turn on the phone, on symbian I just had to press any key to turn on the display without unlocking it, and lock it only using the lock key.
I prefer a app like LG G2's Knock On.

theres a kernel here what does what you want ,well i think it does

I don't want to upgrade to a CFW now. I prefer enjoying rhe phone on stock than to deal with minor hindrances which ruin the experience on a CFW, like the camera bug mentioned in the thread you quoted to.

You're out of luck then unfortunately, custom kernel is the only thing that offers it right now.

Such a basic thing that symbian had but android doesn't, I am disappointed with Google.

Just go to settings and set lock screen to none.

Thanks for the apps but with both the apps the phone gets locked after the screen turns off, I wanted a app that turns off the autolock of phone and just turns off the screen to save power. So I can press any key on the phone to see the screen without unlocking it each time.

I can press any key except the volume rockers which leaves the obvious power button and the home button will turn my screen on and with no lock screen it does what you want it to.

Why don't you wanna use power button?
If custom kernels are available yet then grab yourself one with touch to wake...
I'm pretty sure that your device has nfc..... You can use xposed and some nfc unlocking apps available here or on Google play....
And the most best one! Plug in you headset or charger and you device will wake up! No root no hastle or any additional app needed!

I just bought my HTC one so I'm a noob, can u tell me what nfc is? And what are the apps on Google play?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Why don't you want to use your power button?
Anyway , there are some custom ROMs that allow you to wake the phone up by pressing the volume buttons.
and there are some custom kernels available to wake your phone up by swiping over the buttons. this feature is called Sweep2Wake (S2W) .
But if you don't want to use custom ROMs/Kernels on your phone then you can try using some apps that wake your phone up by using your proximity sensors or light sensors. But this kind of apps will most likely drain your battery,
So if you don't want to root your phone and unlock it then just stick to using the power button !
Please press the thanks button if i helped !

Well, nfc is Near Field Communication. Unlocking your device with this technique just looks much more awesome. Just buy some nfc tags and configure to use them, swipe your phone over them and your phone wakes up!
Just search nfc unlocker or similar on google play store and the app would guide you for the next steps.
In my device, i have some special mods available which would turn the phone on when a configured tag is swiped even when the screen is off. Just search something similar, As your device is new in the market, you will have to wait till some serious development starts on for your device (custom kernels and ROMs available though)....
But I still don't get the harm not using your power button..... It won't wear off trust me

Well I don't know there are many apps for that! Just type it in the store and you'll find many.
And if you want to root your phone the first thing you need to do is unlock your bootloader. Have you unlocked your bootloader?
Oh but remember, rooting voids your warranty!

Hmmm.. I don't think so.
Well you can use another rooted android phone. But you'd need an OTG Cable and a Micro USB Cable. And that other android phone must support OTG too.
So never mind, using a computer is much easier.

Hey! I found a really cool app named 'Gravity' which used the proximity sensor to wake your device when you take it out of you pocket or pick it up from a table. And it is capable of doing the reverse too (locking). It doesn't leeches battery (even doesn't shows in the stats) and does not require any root access. Just install and your ready to rock!

Custom lockscreens don't work properly

Hi there,
I've been really happy with my Nexus 5 since buying it in February, but I've always been jealous of those notifications iPhone users get on their lockscreen... So I decided to look at many different lockscreen apps. However, and I've found this issue multiple times with Widgetlocker, SlideLock, etc. After installing, the apps work like normal; my stock lock screen is disabled and the other shows up in its place. But after a while, seemingly random, the lockscreen app fails to show the screen, and I often have to flip it on and off or even reinstall it to get it to show up again... Has anyone else had this problem and possibly knows of a solution? I'm running a rooted factory ROM. Thanks in advance!

Well, seems like app issues. No one here can really help with that. You'd need to go to app website or email the makers.

Try this if you don't want a custom ROM. Rather than "replacing" the default lockscreen with an app it overlays on top. You'll also need to install this first but do not add it as a Lockscreen Widget since NiLS Floating Panel overlays over the lockscreen without needing the Widget.
