Hi everyone
I have had my OPO for quite some time and I absolutely love it.
Bootloader is unlocked, TWRP installed, MultiRom installed, CM12.1 newest nightly installed using newest AK kernel. Using Xposed arm22 and a lot of lovely modules, even some that are meant to save power.
Okay, now for the problem:
I have started noticing it turning on the screen in a very dim light, while the phone is "locked" for quite some time. It is unresponsive to touches until I press "power button" at which it actually turns on the screen and it lights up to a "normal" brightness setting. I have no idea why it does this. I've looked around in the settings to see if it is a feature that can be turned on or off but that doesn't seem to be the case. I usually notice it when the phone is charging, but it also happens when it isn't. On a regular day I will notice it happen 2-3 times.
I know there is a feature that dimly turns on the screen when receiving notifications, but I have that turned off. Also it doesn't happen when not receiving notifications. I tried browsing for users with similar problems, but found no posts about this.
Does anyone have a clue why it does that?

Had read a few suggestions for fixing this "sleep of death" issue on the G tabs... doesn't seem anyone has posted this
I've tried multiple ROMS, multiple apps like Regpon Wifi stay awake etc. and multiple GTabs...
The only thing that repeatedly seems to completely fix the not waking after sleep issue is an app called "Captivate Keep Alive"
Instead of tying wake to WiFi or CPU, it lets you tie it to battery %.
Try it, let me know if it works on your ROM.
Tested working 100% for Vegan 5.1.1 and CM 7 Harmony.
Tablet used to require boot after leaving it, now it will always wake up, after 1 hour, 20 hours, etc. Plugged in or not.
Completly agree. I tried all ROMs, and Kernals(up to .40). Nothing helps, but Captivate Keep Alive.
I had a similar, but not same issue. My WiFi would turn off completely when teh screen went blank. I could not ping it. Turns out that I had to update my kernel to pershoot's 2.something.39. That fixed it. I do find it every now and then totally unresponsive but pressing the power button patiently 3-4 times wakes it up. I'm running CM7.
App works
So glad I found this thread. I was having this same issue using TNT Lite and installed Captivate Keep Alive. I have been able to turn on from sleep without the reboot.
Hey all. My Skyrocket seems to be turning the screen on by itself at random intervals. Sometimes it will turn itself off by the screen timeout set at 30 seconds but sometimes I will have to manually turn the screen off. Sometimes after turning the screen off when I go to bed I wake up in the morning to see my phones screen on. I believe an app is causing this to happen but I am trying to figure out which one it is. Instead of wiping clean and never finding the culprit I want to spend some time digging. I caught the phone in the act just recently and grabbed the logs. It happened right around 1:30am. Please see attachment for log.
I looked over the log but did not see anything obvious. Maybe someone with more knowledge can take a peek at the log and find something of value.
Thanks!
I guess I should also mention my Skyrocket is rooted with stock rom and kernel running 2.3.5.
Hey there,
I just got my N5 a few days ago and I have noticed that when the screen is off, it actually is not. It's not off like in I turned the phone off, but off as in it's black but there seems to be some light still coming through. Pretty much like having a all black picture being displayed or when the Google bootlogo comes on, that kinda black. I am running Purity and Franco Kernel but I don't think that would have any cause into it.
I have tried rebooting multiple times, turned off hot word detection but still seems to be present.
I'm sure this isn't normal but if someone could suggest any solution, that would be great.
EDIT: OK, actually I figured it out just mere moments after posting this. It was an option in Lightflow to control the backlight while screen off. It was checked on.... derp. Also, there was an option in trickster for led control and I toggled that and saved and it turned the screen completely off now. Leaving this up for a helpful hint if anyone else experiences this type of issue
When I get into my car and my bluetooth headunit connects with my Z3, the screen decides to turn on... for no reason whatsoever. I've disabled apps, tried setting up tasker to turn the screen on after a few seconds... yet nothing seems to work.
Why is this happening? I never had this with my Z2, it really sucks when my phone is in my pocket and I just want to drive, instead I get random actions, and even at one point pocket dialed people.
I hate to reply with anything but a solution, but this is an ongoing issue for me as well. It doesn't seem like it's solvable without a custom kernel. After I rooted my Z1C and installed SlimKat, it stopped happening. Since I got my Z3 I haven't been able to figure it out at all. The closest I got was to install a custom lock screen and have Tasker check for BT Connected and [custom lockscreen] started then wait 1 ms and turn the screen off. That used a ton of battery. I guess it's a solution if you find a way to stop the battery drain. Went from 5+ SoT to less than 3 in a day.
Bumping the topic.. exact same problem. Very very irritating. Battery drains out without even my knowing it. Seems like a serious bug.
My screen will turn itself on every now and then, I can't seem to find anything consistent about what causes it to do this. Maybe some app I have installed is causing it but I've never had the issue on other devices (ambient display is set to off in my case)

It sometimes happens to my phone too. I don't know what causes it. And I have no problem about battery drain, I have just used phone for 1d2h33m35s with 6h20m screen on time. It was happenig to me in S5 too. I use same apps. I think an app causes it.
Mine woke up twice yesterday in the middle of the night, definitely strange.
Yeah I wish there was some place to see what apps have recently used wake lock or keep awake permissions to see if it's something I installed or what. I disabled most samsung bloat and use mostly just the google apps and then a few casual games like hearthstone
I have disabled lots of Google apps and Samsung bloatware since I use phome first day. Maybe we all disabled one wrong app
Mine does it too occasionally
Mine does as well. At one point it stopped and battery was much better, but it has started again.
yeah I'm pretty bare bones when it comes to android phones, I like minimal background apps and go for battery life and speed. still can't figure out what on earth is waking my s7
I am having the same problem with my Galaxy s7 edge. it will randomly wake the lock screen, even when not getting a notification. Its really anoying. I was also having a problem with the screen lighting up when I recieved a text message using Verizons message + app. changed to samsung message and had the same problem, even with notifcations turned off! finally got it to stop by using google messages, but now when my phone is face down it doesnt do the cool light up on the edge. really frustrating.
