Everytime i charge phone the screen lights up.. anybody knows how to turn that off? Also my finger print works but i got 3-4 seconds till the screen open please check the video.
Is my device faulty or anyone else having this issue?? Please let me know thanks in advance. I noticed the fingerprint delay when i was turning off my phone because i was waiting for my case to arrive. After a dozens restart i made fingerprint work normaly but i think this is not normal. what do you think guys? Thanks again for your time!

i downloaded the Device Reset -Ranster which is the red button on the phone which does a soft reset but for some reason my screen somtimes goes black but the keypad buttons are lighting and i have to take out the battery i have been searching for the shortcut buttons that do the soft reset without taking out the battery and cant find it??
Please someone let me know what those two buttons are, thank you
Have a look at the bookmarks in my signature - look at the HD2 cabs thread. There's a cab on that thread called TouchX reset & wifi. It gives you both a reset button and a wifi toggle.
Or use xda shutdown its realy good.
Look here:

I had this issue before. Check whether the below setting is enabled.
Start > Settings > Menu > All Settings > Today > Items
The setting "Today timeout", at the bottom left hand corner,
should not be selected/enabled.

Man...people aren't learning to read before replying...
hello ive got a really annoying problem , my device didnt dim automaticly , i have to press twice on the power button to lock the screen , i cheked into the settings and every thing just look fine , the auto dim option is 30 sec , but nothing happend.
my phone is interupt unlock with window break , can anyone can help me?
thank you
I wonder where you got that 30 second option. Which phone do you have ?
In my settings All I see is Auto Adjust and option to choose between Low, medium and High.
i got the samsung focus S you can find it under settinfs
lock+wallpaper
Hi All,
I was hoping you guy might be able to help me out.
The LG G3 is awesome, i love being able to turn the screen on and off without using any buttons.
One bit that i think could use some work is that currently, when the screen is on, you can tap the notification bar twice to turn the screen off, however, i find that this doesnt work so well all the time.
I have Nova launcher and i wanted to link a two finger swipe gesture with an app to turn the screen off however...
All the apps on the store only seem to offer you the option to turn the screen off and lock the phone immediately at the same time. Does anyone know of an app that will let me turn the screen off, but NOT lock the phone immediately, and just leave the lock settings to the system defaults.
It seems pretty straight forward but i've tried about 30 apps on the store and all of them only screen off and lock, none allow you to do it without locking the phone immediately.
Any help would be really appreciated!

Maybe try a tasker profile?

Thanks for the idea. I just tried and had no joy. It can trigger an action when i turn the screen off myself, but it wont turn the screen off for me.
Any other ideas?
I feel like this is so straight forward and that i'm just being super dense - im hoping someone points something so obvious and straight forward out that i missed!

You could try an app like Button Savior. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smart.swkey.nonroot
It has the option to swipe from the side to bring up the buttons, and from what I understand, the power button on it is exactly the same action as pressing the power button on your phone. You could tweak it to try and get it to the solution you want, but I think at least the button should be what you are looking for.

Thanks - just tried it and it is suffers from the same thing - it automatically locks the phone when you press the power button.

My phone seems to do the same action either way. I think I know what you are talking about. It seems that on previous roms, the screen could go dark, but if I woke the phone back up it wasn't actually locked. What about this app? It seems to distinguish between the two.

Here is another one you could potentially try. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ericlpchow.screentrigger
Tried both of the above... Neither seem to work!

I use "No Lock" when I want to switch off the phone but bypass lock settings when I turn it on. Is that what you mean?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock&hl=en
Hi, Thanks for the suggestion... The problem with that app is that the phone won't lock until I go back in and disable it... I want the phone to use the same system timeout so if I do leave my phone lying around it will lock after 3 or 5 minutes on its own.

Take this.
Note: Needs Root
Not sure it it covers your needs, but I'm using SkipLock combined with Gravity Screen
SkipLock let's you bypass the lockscreen (and pincode) when your phone is connected to either a trusted WIFI network or a trusted BT-device (carkit!).
As soon as you get home you'll turn on your screen and you the lockscreen as usual, but from that point on it's lockscreen free until it disconnects with your wifi network.
So when you turn off the screen the screen goes black, but as soon as you turn it on again you'll see either the homescreen or your last opened app.
It works really GREAT!
Gravity screen is not needed but makes it even easier. It automatically turns your screen on when you pick up the phone, and turns it off when you place it down (configurable). It also features Pocket Mode so it will turn the screen off when you put it in your pocket and on again when you take it out. Worst part was getting used to NOT press the power-button anymore

Hi, Thanks for the suggestion - i just tried the app and it has a non-root version, but that just basically turns the screen black, leaves the notification bar and navi buttons and doesnt actuall replicate pressing the power button.
I cant root my phone either as i need to use banking apps and these dont work with root.
Any other ideas?

This sounds like a cool set of apps, but I'm quite pedantic about my phone and the way it uses battery and with all the sensors working. I'm not sure its right for me, but its cool none-the-less.

Skiplock doesn't use up any battery. Gravity MIGHT, but there are options to choose that use up more or less battery.
Don't know about needing root though...
Hi, I have been looking for this too....no solution? I use the trusted places and devices to keep my phone unlocked when i am home, and when in the car (connected to bluetooth) but of course turning off the screen also locks it.
SkipLock isn't compatible with my Lollipop G3 - any solutions that work on Lollipop? I've been using Tasker but somethings it messes up things a bit so I would like to try something else
Hi all.... I'm trying to schedule my Rooted Lollipop 32GB LTE Tablet to autoreboot at 4am, so that everyday I get a smooth experience when I start using my tablet in the morning.... I've tried this app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pereira.autoreboot&hl=en) and also Tasker (with the secure settings plugin) and I get into the same problem... The Tablet restarts as scheduled (at that time the tablet is always connected to a power source charging) BUT it gets stuck in the Nvidia Android boot screen (the first screen). When I grab the tablet, it's hot, and the only way I have found to fix this is unplugging the tablet, force it to shut off and turn it back on...
Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!

This is built into the OS. You don't need an app.
Settings > Battery > (tap three dots button) SHIELD Power Control. Then select Auto Reboot.

Aww, snap. This used to reboot as well. ?
Shame they took that away. Sorry about that.
Can't for some reason find an option anywhere on the phone to stop this from happening. Every time I'm on a call after about 10 seconds the screen will dim and a few seconds later goes to black. Can tap on screen 2x to wake it up again but I don't want this to ever happen. Not connected to full device shut down that I have turned up to 5 mins so has nothing to do with that setting. Can anyone assist and help me stop this form happening all the time? Many thanks!

Go to Settings/ Accessibility/ Screen reader/ Under Voice Assistant tap settings then scroll down to Quick Menu, tap it, then look for Dark Screen toggle. Click this setting off.. Let me know if that works for you.

Not sure then because that was the only thing I could find.. Maybe it's a setting that we don't have control over.. I do know that the screen is supposed to shut off when it's close to your face and the reason being is so that your face isn't pressing on stuff and making the phone do things you don't want it to be doing.. My moms face sure does seem to disable a lot of stuff like fast charging and even turning the screen brightness so low that she thought it was broken haha..

HA. No, phone is on a desk, not near my face. But yeah most phones nowadays do that. Thanks for trying tho.
Anyone else with any thoughts?
Tried replicating the problem on my end. I called someone, enabled speakerphone and put the phone on the table.
The screen indeed turned dim after 10 seconds and turned black afterwards. It bypassed my screen timeout setting which is 5 minutes. The phone app is in the foreground. Double tapping the screen wakes it up.
I minimized the phone app; the homescreen is now in the foreground. It adhered to the 5 minutes screen timeout setting.
I guess the temporary workaround is that after you answer the call, exit out of the phone app.

Hi. I had the same problem and found the solution using third party application: Screen On Call from Google Playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vorlan.screenoncall.free
It is compatible with Samsung dialer. On the top later you have small button to prevent screen going dark or to disable it. Proximity sensor is working without problem when you hold the phone to the ear.

Yaaawhoooooooo!!! This totally works. I have been an Android user for years and could find an answer for this nowhere. Users, be sure to turn on "Appear on top".
Thank you. Life changing.
