Ok so have noticed another issue with my phone that I can't say happens every time but more often than I would like and enough for me to notice.
It seems that when my phone gets a notification be it a Google notification (weather/news etc) or email or face book etc my screen wakes up (which is fine by me) but then stays illuminated. It stays this way until I read/swipe it away.
This is more noticeable at night when it's on charge and I happen to wake and find the screen is illuminated still.
I have checked and the option to "wake screen when notification comes in " is switched off so it's not this.
Anyone else have an issue like this/noticed this?
Yes, I have exactly the same issue. It consistently does this when charging, and unplugging the charger allows the lock screen to fade out, as it should always do.
Haven't had this issue on my device & I can't seem to replicate it, but hopefully it's fixed with the August update as a saw a few users have reported this to the ColorOS community
I have this issue, very annoying. Any fix?

Someone reported that it's related to the Google Clock app. It is annoying and I've also reported this to the Color OS community. Several times I've woken up to find my screen on and if my device suffers screen burn-in because of this, I shall be making a warranty claim due to a software issue and being not fit for purpose! I am not in a position to uninstall G Clock as I rely on it for several assistant routines associated with my alarm. This issue needs to be fixed, along with several others!

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.
This problem shows up periodically when I leave my S7 stationary on a desk or table while in discharge mode. I found an xda thread describing the exact symptoms, but for the S6. My phone is an S7, of course. That S6 thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/help/push-notifications-stop-screen-off-t3071248
I have my device set so notifications will appear on the lock screen. And under Settings > Notifications I have about 5 apps set for priority mode. That works consistently to bring notifications from those apps to the top of the notification list. The problem is that occasionally when the screen turns off --not consistently-- all push notifications are suppressed until I turn on the screen again. At this point, all of the suppressed, pending notifications fire off their associated alert sounds and each of their alert banners pop onto the lock screen. I can never know when the notifications are going to be suppressed like this when I toggle off the screen or when it times out on its own.
Am I the only one who experiences this issue on the S7? I had possession of some other S7's some months back and at least two of them demonstrated similar intermittent push notification behavior. However, I had no idea exactly what was happening at the time (i.e, whether it was the individual apps malfunctioning or perhaps a lagging issue with the servers/networks they were using). But from my experience to date, it appears that the absence of notifications on those devices during screen off mode may have been the same issue.
There was a great deal of concern about this within the S6 thread I've cited above. But no definite solutions were given; the general hope was that a future update would correct the problem on the S6 and that the S7 with android 6 marshmallow would hopefully not include the intermittent notification problem. If I've missed an informative thread on this issue relevant to the S7 (or the S7 edge) please direct me accordingly.
Thanks
Used to happen with my S5, afaik it's Marshmallows new low power mode, 'Dose' that causes it as it didn't happen with Lollipop

In that case, how is the best way to disable this mode? Package Disabler perhaps? And why am I the only one who seems to have posted about this matter as far as the S7? Timely notifications are pretty important... so I would think that if this were a typical power saving side effect on the S7 that many S7 owners would be speaking out about the notification lapses. It's fairly puzzling.
Thanks
Dose being the cause is just my take on it, I couldn't think of anything else it could be with my S5 either, and as I said it never happened with Lollipop, and Dose only arrived with Marshmallow, so I put two and two together
Not sure you can disable Dose, other than have something running in the background causing a wakelock, which would drain your battery
Might be something else causing it, but I couldn't see any other explanation
Something I did notice though was if the phone was on 4G Data instead of WiFi, notifications were instant, but I was only on 4G while I was out, and when the phone is moving, dose doesn't work, it has to be completely stationary

Hmm... in my case it is happening exclusively on 4G without wifi running. So maybe it's something else. Most of the time notifications come though immediately. I'd say that during only about 10 or 20% of the phone's stationary time they are repressed until screen on.
Have a solution!
Faced the same issue, you have to exclude the apps you need notification at 2 places in the settings.
For the doze settings, go to settings, battery, battery usage, more ( top right), optimize battery usage , select all apps and select the apps you need to show notifications.
Second place, settings, battery, go down to app power saving, click details, set app you wish notifications to disabled.
I've searched the forum and completed several google searches using various words or phrases, but nothing comes close to my question.
Anyone having screen flicker issues on auto brightness? I've had my phone 4 days and have continually observed the screen incessantly increase and decease in brightness, particularly noticeable at night, probably because I'm finally able to sit down with the device.
Along with aggressive memory management closing apps I want open and the long in the tooth notification isssue, I'm up i the air as to keeping the phone.
Kindly chime in, maybe I just got a lemon.
It happens intermittently and has happened for the almost 2 years since I bought it. It has been a minor annoyance which gets annoying in certain scenarios. I have waited for a update to hopefully fix it and have tried removing or changing setting of suspected culprits. However to no success. My device has had a factory reset 3 times and this still happened during a fresh install. No third party apps should be accountable.
During regular use:
1. Screen will turn off and the device will lock
2. After about 2 seconds I will be able to turn the screen on which will display the lock screen.
3. The lock screen will be blank with my wallpaper, the lock screen widgets (time, date, text, shortcuts.) Will eventually load in within 5 seconds, this could be instant or delayed up to 5 seconds.
4. I will finally be able to unlock the device where I'll be greeted with an empty home screen. The launcher however will restart. All of the UI elements will slowly load back, including the notification bar.
5. After about 5-10 seconds. My device will become functional and up to speed as usual. Apps may have lost their memory/recent data. (Eg: YouTube restarts to home menu, chrome page will have to reload.)
To me it sounds like a memory overload. Perhaps an app is causing a memory leak? RAM is faulty or succumbing to SEU's due to poor quality materials. Battery or power regulator fault causing voltage surge or sag resulting in MIUI crashing.
I'm really not sure
I have been looking for the issue online every now and then. However I cannot find anything.
Anyone else had this issue? Anyone know better than me and have an idea?
I very much like this device and this is the only issue I'm having so far.
Hello,
I own my device for 2 years now and last week I decided it was time for a fresh restart and did a factory reset without any issues...well, until yesterday.
Suddenly, out of the blue, in games like Marvel Snap (card game) and Twitter app, the touch screen becomes unresponsive - only power button to turn screen off and fingerprint unlock works until phone thinks it is okay to respond again.
Weirdly, it gets worse while on Wifi and I notice a slight heating up during such temporary freezes.
My phone is practically useless especially while on Wifi now and doing a clean-up, a BitDefender sweep, changing performance settings did not work. I have to mention that it got worse when I set the power profile to ultimate performance so I am beginning to think there is some kind of overheating issue.
I am on MIUI 14.0.1.0 if that helps in any way. I keep all my apps updated.
Do you have any ideas so as to diagnose the problem here?
Thanks in advance.

Heat causing hardware issue could be possible.
A backup phone and migrate data and apps just in case.
Changed refresh rate to 120hz and uninstalled TorBrowser and the issue seems to have disappeared.
Took refresh rate down to 60hz and it happened again instantly. For some weird reason, 60hz seems to be the problem in my case.
I got stuck at "post reply" button for a few seconds just now.
Nah, nothing seems to work. The issue persists. Videos keep playing - anything happening real time keeps on, but touch controls get stuck/extremely sluggish at best.
