Is anyone else experiencing this? My S7's screen will turn on by itself as if a notification has been received, but nothing is there. I have most of the bells & whistles turned off so I know it's not that.
Any thoughts on why this is happening? Really hope it's not a defect as I just put liquid armor on it. As always, any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
If you Google it you can find several causes, and one more I just found today. Make sure Settings > Display > Keep Screen Turned Off is off. I had it on and my screen would turn on at odd times. Turned it off and problem fixed.
I have this problem on my s7, g4 and j3! And still have no clue wtf is that... Screen just turns on and nothing happens, turns off after timeout. Something with google acc sync maybe ( on ALL phones sync is turned OFF )

Several possible causes are listed in this article.

You have a broken charging port. That s why it turns on
Can't be the charging port, because it happens to me when the phone is NOT charging. It seems to have something to do with waking the screen on notifications, but there's no specific setting to disable that.

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.
Disclaimer: I searched the forums but couldn't find anything relevant.
Am I the only one whose tf700 acts really sluggish after it wakes up for a minute or two?
Is there any solution to this? It kills my main use case of the tablet (pick it up when I want to look at something in a pinch, and put it away when I'm done).
I'm on official ROM, rooter but not unlocked. This has been happening with the previous firmware versions as well.
I had the same problem for a while... most of the time I woke the tablet from sleep it'd be very sluggish.
I noticed that this happens when the wifi disconnected during sleep... it would have to reconnect and therefore all the services that required wifi would all start at the same time, throttling the system.
Turns out its the special setting in ASUS Customized Settings, "Disconnects network during sleep" that was causing this. It does exactly what it says, suspends network-related tasks when the screen goes off and resumes on screen on.
I initially turned this on because i was worried network tasks would drain my battery on sleep, but there doesn't really seem to be much of a performance difference with it on or off. So I'm leaving it off for now.

Hmm, I disabled that with the same battery concerns, but I'll give it a shot, thanks!

Also try a clean boot.
Hold down the volume down and power button when you power it on from cold. Let it go through the next screen without touching and it will clear cache automatically.
This does help as well anyway.
It's probably still quicker than most of us after we wake up..... Have you tried coffee?
Try turning off all bloatware. Mine used to be incredibly sluggish when waking up, and when I checked it turned on about 25-ish apps everytime i woke it up. Rubbish like Google Now, Talk, Gallery, etc. This slows the poor thing down to an insane level. Turned off all the random crap I would never use anyway, did a coldboot (sbdags describes the process up one post ^) and now it's instantly awake.
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.
Just posted this in another old thread, but thought it's worth highlighting. Noticed today that my screen would come on by itself a second or so after I put the phone down, or if I was holding it and swinging my arm as I walked. After lots of searching discovered a setting was causing it. Settings > Display > Keep Screen Turned Off was turned on. Turned it off and problem solved. No more random screen turning on. There can be other causes, but this one didn't show up in any of my Google searches, so just paying a tip forward. Cheers.

My S7 Edge started doing this about a week ago, but the setting you noted was off... so I turned it on. Maybe it's something in the last update that makes it wonky. I'll let you know if it works.

That setting being off is the default I believe. My phone didn't start turning on until after I had turned that setting on, I just didn't notice the connection since I'd changed several options, and didn't see the spontaneous turn on until the next day. There can be other causes, so may not be your issue. But keep us posted.
