Screen going to rest to fast - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

I hope this is the right place for this.
My problem is that the screen goes to rest while I'm using the phone.
I.e reading something, after 30 sec the screen goes black. I changes the timeout to, say 2 min,
the next time I switch on the phone it's back to 30 sec..
Used to have Xperia, and they stayed waken as long as I was looking at the phone, and didn't go to rest
until I put the phone down.
Is this the way life's meant to be? Or have I missed something?

How long does it take to download a ROM

Hello, 1st time for me so please excuse me if this has been asked before. I am downloading the Red Dawn ROM to my HTC Hero and was wondering about how long it takes? I have had the red eye showing on my phone for a few hours now and hoping I did the download process correct. Please let me know and thank you.
abot 5 minutes
any suggestions on how to fix it? I cannot do anything, the red eye just keeps moving.
a rom on average is 140 to 200 megabytes so depending on your connection it shouldn't take long. I have had that issue with my droid incredible depending on the rom i flashed. Often i simply have to hold down the power button, the screen will go black, wait a few seconds and press it again. when i do it comes back up and loading the main screen this only seems to happen the first time you flash the rom. I might suggest leaving it sit there a few minutes just to make sure it doesn't load on its own. Idk why but it seems to work. Hope that helps

[Q] Won't wake up after a few hours

My transformer wakes up fine after a minute or two, but if I leave it for 5-10 minutes and hit the power button, nothing happens
I can long press, then press again (rebooting), but I can't get the darn thing to "wake" back up after some downtime
any ideas? Am I missing something obvious?
Mine just went to sleep and i can't even get it to re-boot.
Had it less the 24 hours and now seems dead when on 90% battery
Any idea's?
kk it is re-booting when held down for about 15 secs, when i plug in to the PC with usb and how the power down you get the disconnect noise to say it is powered down.
Odd its getting stuck in sleep as it was on sleep having charge all last night and woke up fine this morning.
Just want to make sure you are rebooting correctly ... hold the power button down for 5 seconds then let go and wait for a couple seconds, then hold it down for a couple seconds to turn it back on

yer just the 5 secs feels like forever when it wouldn't turn on. :S
I hate it when your new toy's act dead.
Not sure it's related, as I don't have my Transformer yet (thursday or friday it should be here!), but I had a similar issue on an Archos 101. Turning off the screen timeout resolved it.
Seems like when you put it into 'sleep' by tapping the power button, if you let it sit longer than the screen timeout was set, it would, well, turn off the screen... and you couldn't turn it back on.
Had to do the whole 'hold the power button for X seconds' to force it off, then turn it back on.
Just wondering, might be something to try - turn off the screen timeout and see if it wakes up OK.
Trust me bud, I know. And what's worse, you can't return this one and get a new one due to supply issues (you would have to wait a long time for your replacement)
I also have some light bleed issues, those I can live with... this I cannot

Phone keeps restarting before Samsung logo

I recently flashed CM9 (throwing that out there incase it is of some reasoning but I doubt it) and I've had my phone since November.
I flashed CM9 9/25 Nightly like 2 or 3 days ago (absolutely love it by the way, smoothest build/rom for the Skyrocket thus far) No problems with the Rom I might add, just my phone had just randomly restarted on its own twice while using it (nothing happened, just started right back up).
However the 3rd time, it randomly restarted and never booted back up. It vibrates and then reboots before it even gets to the Samsung screen and reboots/vibrates again (2 second intervals or so). The furthest it gets is like 5 seconds into the CM9 logo and then it'll reboot. It does the usual thin white line as it restarts and just gets stuck there. Can't get to Recovery for more than a few seconds before it reboots (not long enough for Touch to settle and do anything) and it won't get to Download Mode fast enough. Any ideas or any way to get data off /emmc? Don't want to lose a bunch of pictures/videos.
I have a replacement coming within the next days so I have about 2 weeks to either get lucky and get up long enough to save my data or somehow find a solution (doubt it). I already took it apart and swapped screens because I had busted the screen before and put the broken one in incase by some miracle the new one was causing it (no luck).
No water damage or anything to the phone, just randomly rebooted those times while texting or listening to music/what not and now it's pooped.
Any suggestions?
Tried without the battery (via usb/pc or AC source), without sim/microsd, etc. and nothing. Assuming I'm just SOL.
Edit: Side note, I got terrible battery life with this phone. I could only get 2 hours of screen-on time if I was LUCKY on Mobile and maaaybe 3 if I was on WIFI. The most I ever got was 5 hours on WIFI with a 3850mAh Extended Battrey (so even though it was a cheap battery, I'm thinking the phone had a problem from the get-go).
You Could Have A Stuck Power Button. To Fix That Try To Repeatedly Keep Pushing The Power Button Hard To Try To Unstick It. or try taking it apart and clean the power button

This was my first thought, didn't make a difference no matter how I did it. Appreciate the idea though.
[SOLVED] It is indeed the power button.
I took it apart again and thoroughly mashed the power button plenty and gave it a good few breaths of fresh air.
After that I realized that, I put it back together and realized that if I held the power button right after the phone vibrated it seemed to get to the CM9 symbol more often.
So I mashed the power button a ton more, shook the phone like hell and smashed it against my palm a few times and...it booted! I was able to get everything off of it and reset flash/counter/restore to stock all without ever touching the power button. Screen Timeout @ 30 and using ADB is your friend. Now just to see if it magically works till my replacement gets here lol.

i know its sounds too simplistic as to blame a sticky power button and users dismiss the idea because they'll blame themselves, a bad flash, or the rom, but a reboot at a 8-10sec interval is the power button internal switch making contact, sometimes its an easy fix or sometimes it takes more than a few tries, or taking it apart to clean the internals
My phone goes anywhere now from 10 seconds to a full day without having a reboot with continuous vibration at 2 second intervals. Flashed to stable ROM's so that's definitely not the issue. I've had this phone since Christmas 2011 so I'm assuming I don't have warranty? You guys just unscrewed the screws and got into the internals I'm assuming?

[Q] Power button is causing phone to reboot nonstop

So, tonight I just turned my screen on and then off real quick to check if I have any messages and set my phone down. Then I look down and see the Samsung logo. I'm a bit confused and notice that the Samsung logo keeps showing for 1-2 seconds going black for 1-2 seconds and then back to the Samsung logo for 1-2 seconds, over and over. I pull the battery and then when I put it back in, the phone starts doing it again before I touch any buttons. Clearly something is causing my power button to be "on" continuously. This seems to be a relatively common problem from doing some searching, but most of the posts I find seem to be full of people responding who fail to understand the problem. People seem to think that this is a boot loop and that it can be fixed by going into download mode. This is clearly not the case, the problem is obviously with the power button since the phone automatically starts up and keeps doing this as soon as the battery is reinserted regardless if no buttons are pushed or all buttons are pushed. Has anyone managed to fix this problem? I'm thinking I'm going to have to take the infuse apart and see if the button is stuck or if there contact occuring somewhere it shouldn't be. Any help would be appreciated.
Yeah, i have this problem. First what i did, i'd hit gently the power button a few times and it seemed to work. But after a few days it got worse, till the point it wouldn't work. I decided to open up the phone myself, and trying to manipulate the small power button. Apparently it worked, but i decided not to use the power button anymore, i wake the phone by touching the volume +/- buttons and i turn it off with a widget i downloaded from the playstore. This problem seems to be on every infuse i'm saving up some money to buy another phone, since i won't be able to sell this one with this problem.

Thanks for the link. I took it apart using that and cleaned everything and just clicked the power button a whole bunch and its working again for now.

[Q] Screen hard to turn on and turns off randomly

I've had the TF101 since it was first released in the USA. I haven't really used it much but lately I found a niche use for the tablet. The problem is most of the time it's really hard to turn the screen on. Almost every press to the power button will turn the screen on for about half a second and then it turns off. Then I have to wait about 5 sec before I can turn the screen on again but most of the time it will just repeat the same process. This is really frustuating. It appears this is less frequent if the tablet is laying flat instead of being held in hand, but I usually need to try it around 5 times before the screen will stay on.
The second problem is the screen will sometimes randomly turn off. Most of the time the screen will stay on for hours when I use it. Sometimes though, it will just turn off and then I'm met with the first problem. This is a sudden shutoff with no warning. Other times the right side of the screen will glow really bright before turning off. It appears to happen more frequently when I'm moving the tablet.
I'm using a rooted stock ICS rom. I'm pretty sure this is a hardware problem. Has anyone encountered this before? Is this something I can fix myself?
Thanks
I had the same prob many times. For me it was doing it real bad before i rooted. It is likely nothing serious. Could your lower frequency be too low? Try Katkiss. its very fast.
oddly the screen went off to the left a few mins ago. i never had that before but everything is back to normal it seems
I just flashed KatKiss 4.2 rom unto my TF101. Problem persists. At least the tablet is fast enough to be usable now.
I had this same problem...
It turns out that one of the kids had dropped the tablet and it bent the frame enough that it was putting pressure on the power button.
Yea sounds like the power button is either getting stuck, or it is faulty
