I just pulled out my phone and had this happen again for the 4th time. Sometimes when I pull out my phone it had the brightness maxed out, sometimes flashlight on, and battery saver mode. It's not always those changes, but sometimes I have a freakout of the phone and when I take a look at it I see all these random changes. Does this happen to anyone else ?
The only thing I can think of is that the gesture is waking the phone and since the pull down menu is not locked on the lockscreen things are auto getting pressed.

If you have swipe fingerprint for notifications on, it could be you're swiping down on the sensor which would turn the phone on and swipe notifications down, making it easy to accidentally toggle something on as you pull it out.

I just started experiencing that my phone wont go into sleep mode after pressing the power button. I can hold it down and pop up menu to turn off shows, and bring it out of sleep after the 15 sec delay i have set up but thats it any ideas?
The only issue I have is when the phone goes to sleep wifi turns off and the captivate starts charging data to my plan. Does this happen to anyone else and if so is there a known cure?
I had my phone not go to sleep at set timeout one time. It may have been due to an app i installed. I rebooted and no problem since.
As for using data when asleep - Wifi turns off when the phone goes to sleep mode - this is the way it behaves, same as iPhone and other android phones. You have some app connecting in the background, maybe email sync?
You can keep the wifi on during sleep by going into the Settings-> Wireless and Network -> Wi-Fi Settings. Press the menu button in Wi-Fi settings press on "Advanced".
In there is an option called Wi-Fi sleep policy. Switch that to Never and you shouldn't have to worry about the wifi turning off when in sleep mode.

Yea It was an app I installed, I did a reinstall from a back up and it works now.
Captivate Shutting Down Instead of Sleeping
Mine is doing this too, as are a few others, from the look of some posts on here. Mine started after a day and a half and two full charges. Suddenly I would go to wake it up and it will have turned off.
I'm thinking I might take it back to the store to exchange it, as not everyone is experiencing this problem. Sucky. I did notice that the battery, after you take the door off, is a little wiggly on the side opposite the connectors. I wedged some thin paper in the between the battery and the battery slot and it still did it. Got to be a problem with the individual phone.
Total PITA!!
I had problems with mine shutting off while in sleep mode and I uninstalled SetCpu and my task killer and it stopped doing it....
My notification LED only blinks after I have hit the power button on the phone(unlocking it)...which is kind of useless because obviously when I tap the power I am accessing my phone therefore going to see the notifications displayed. Why is it that when my phone is locked/on standby that the LED notification doesn't blink right away until I wake it up and then lock it again? It is as if the phone went into some sleep mode and even calls,texts, and everything does not wake it up automatically.

I've got the same issue at some (random) times, where it doesn't start notifying until I check it myself. It sure seems like a *small issue*, but since it's there to help us out... well, it should be helping us out.
As the title suggests, sometimes when my tf700 has had a long period of being idle if I go to use it and press the power button nothing will happen. I can still hear it functioning though cause I've accidentally taken screen shots when trying to reboot it when this happens, the screen is just black and I have to reset it.
Any suggestions?

Try switching WiFi sleep off and see if it helps.
Wifi sleep off?
I have that happen to me more than a few times. I just end up hitting power button and just tapping the corner. It works sometimes. but it's not always faster than just rebooting. Although, if you're going to reboot, just hold the power button till device shuts off.
What I think is happening is not that it's not waking, the display is just not turning on. I noticed this by plugging in the charger, which always turns on the display and device.
Yeah, the display isn't coming back up. I've noticed that too because I can still hear events occur (ie: unplugging the charger).
Another user on here tipped me off that it could be that it's in power save mode and the dimmer is COMPLETELY down, if you bump the brightness dimmer up just a hair, even 1 notch, it'll stop it from doing it, or at least it's stopped it so far for me since I changed it.
Why start two threads on the same issue?
im using stock rom light manager for notifications, and have it checked so every notification lights up the screen.
the problem is when the screen starts dimming in a minute, just before locking and letting the LED kick in, it wakes the phone up back to a fully lit up lock screen...and the cycle always continues until I lock manually with finger.
any help????

Check your settings in light manager, make sure there is no notifications pending in there, any you have say read from the lock screen which doesn't appear in my experience clear these as read. Once in a while I have to go in and cancel the notifications (lightflow) is what I use, although I just use to to illuminate the led's not the screen (otherwise my battery would be flat in half a day)
The thread title pretty much sums it up. I am wondering if anyone who is using the app Always on Edge (AOE) for their notifications has gotten the reminder lights to work on their Pixel 3a. If so, what combination of settings did the trick? I can get the lights to trigger when the notification first comes in, but they never appear again. I have tried all varieties of the AOD being on, off, on with notifications only, etc., with no luck.
It seems to be working for me. I checked "when a notification comes" and "lighting for 8 seconds every 30 seconds" right below.
This app is what I was looking for to replace LED notifications, I'm currently testing it but it seems pretty well made and with lots of options.

Do the reminders still trigger if the screen wakes - either from the notification itself, or because you manually woke it up?
What do you mean? Right now if I receive a notification, the edge lights up for 8 seconds, turns off, then lights up again after 30 seconds and so on.
If I get to the lockscreen by touching the screen or pressing the power button and then let it turn off again, the reminder won't show up anymore. I guess this is intended, if you wake the screen, presumably you have seen the notification and you don't need to be reminded anymore.

Okay, this is consistent with what I noticed. Even if you don't wake up the screen yourself, if you have it set up where incoming notifications wake the screen temporarily, you don't get the reminder lights. Or even if you had the screen on already, walked away, and got a new notification before the screen had a chance to dim. I think an update is coming soon to fix this. But glad to hear it's not just me.
