Hi,
I have looked with the search, but nothing even close comes up....
(prove me wrong, I'll be happy to find the solution)
Basically, my lock screen and my today screens have stopped shutting down after the preset time?
I have tried changing the time but nothing, I sit watching the screen like some sort of muppet, mentally counting down a minute or 30 seconds to see if it will shut down but nothing.
Not a problem over the bank holiday weekend as the phone also gets a decent rest, but come Tuesday when all hell lets loose I will need all the battery I can have, and a screen that stays on 24/7 isn't going to help!
Ta.
try phone reboot! i had that problem when i had an application running in background which did not allow auto-screen-off

What was the application? Not had the issue as yet but if it happens it would be nice to know what to look out for.

Hi,
I know i should RTFM , but how do you reboot? and it this like like a hard reset/ soft reste for a Winmo phone? And will it delete anything?
Sorry to be a noobie.
i just meant to shutdown the phone and then turn it on ;-)
if you have the problem resulting of a background app which deactivates screen-off, this will solve it

Hi, A bit of a Noob and I've broken it some how! I've changed a setting to do with owner info and the lock screen because when the screen locks I move the slider and it sticks in whichever direction and doesn't unlock phone. The button doesn't freeze at all though and occasionally I see "owner information" on the titlebar. The only way I can access home screen etc is by soft resetting, hitting start as soon as it appears and then flicking slider........ I did see a setting on here to display owner info on lock screen somewhere and I think this is what I've changed but I can't find it now. Please help...
This strang thing happend to me to today. For now i havent found the cause nor a sollution. For now I just pull the battery out and reboot it .. Then it works well for a few times but when i lay it to rest and try to unlock it... it wont work again.

Even after pulling battery mine is still the same. I'm sure it's my fault but I can't find the post on here which I read. I'm sure it was a tweak to show owner info on boot up and when flicking off screen lock and I thought, "lets see what that looks like" Wish I hadn't now! It looks like I'm going for a hard reset if I can't find a solution, unfortunately my next task was to put a backup package on it! D'oh!!!
It happened to me a week ago... It depends on the personal information flag. I solved in this way: 1 reset the phone so you can access the settings of the phone, 2 unset "show personal info on start" flag (or something like this) now it should work. Please if someone knows how to show the personal info avoiding this bug let us know....

It worked!!! Thank you very much. I've made so many adjustments lately I just couldn't remember. I'm now gonna back it up!!
For future reference, if you get stuck at the lock screen but your phone does start up properly, you can use SOTI Pocket controller to change pretty much anything on your phone through USB.
happened to me too, heres a funny story.
i leave my phone on my desk thinking it was locked (i did press the hang up botton and the screen turned off) suddenly i can hear the tone as its calling someone, it rings 4-5 times untill i grab it and pull it out of the sleeve, it was the girl i went out with a day earlier, now she thinks im a psycho.
thanks HTC!!!
Ok the problem could be your Twitter.com setings if you use Twitter.
Thanks to Sir Sternas of Artemis ROMS, just found it out. After disabling Twitter the problem didnt occured anymore.
Now its just to find out if the webservice or the twitterclient causes the problem.
I am using CM7 latest weekely every thing is perfect but now suddenly my phones screen turns on like call is coming and turns back off after 2 sec and this happens randomly.
is this expected behavior?
is there any work around?
My fiancee has an atrix that is totally stock and hers just started doing this yesterday. I would also like to know the answer to this. I was thinking it was a hardware issue with the power button but hopefully i am wrong, that way I dont have to mess with a warranty exchange. Any help would be appreciated.
by any chance have u just start using this app "Memory Booster - RAM Optimizer" if yes then this might be the one, i have just messed around in its settingsd and no screen wakup problems so far

No. The only apps that I think might cause this that I have on her phone is beautiful widgets and a data toggle. She has had these apps on there for awhile and the phone just started to act up.

Both me and my brother own atrix and it happens on both.It was happening on stock 2.3.4 and now on cm7 as well it must be something with the phone not a rom related issue
i also have beautiful widgets, can sk8trix conform that his and his brother phone have this app too. if yes then this might be the cause. or we have to tell each other whole list of apps that we have installed to narrow down the culprit.
On her phone I have all of her apps that are supposed to sync turned off. I recently installed data enabler for her so she would have a data toggle on her home screen. I use advanced task manager to kill her apps by force stopping them. Last night I used it and closed everything and turned her screen off. 5 minutes later it come on for about two seconds and shut off. I have been looking at what apps might be causing this and really dont see anything unusual except for the data enabler and beautiful widgets. I will uninstall both of those and report back later on to let you know the result. Hopefully someone else will come along with a better solution.

I don't use beautiful widgets ever.....I even tried with a clean install no apps installed except stock cm7 apps and google apps and it still happened so I gave up trying to figure it out.
it doesn't shorten my battery life at all so I don't worry however if there is a fix I will use it because it is annoying.
Edit the only time the phones wake up by themselves is right after we hit the power button to turn the screen off or when the phone firat boots and is still locked it will turn the screen off and turn it back on the dim again.
I dont think its cm7 issue cos i was at weekly # 4 and there was no issue then i flashed tuch recovery and after that boot it started happening. Then i flashed latest weekely and reverted back to old recovery. And i agree this only happen when i turn screen off (randomly)
OK here is where I am at now with this problem. I uninstalled both apps and it seems to be ok for the time being, but my fiancee told me she had been receiving weird messages in her notification bar. I looked into it and she was getting ads in her notification bar. So I downloaded AirPush Detector from the market and ran a scan on her phone and it detected a couple of apps pushing notifications. I got rid of the apps and now im back to checking the phone again. I dont know if that AirPush app would help you guys out or not but it would hurt to try.
since i have started this thread my problems have gone away like a little *****, and i dont know how to recreate this problem any more so i am stuck with no problem no solution thing.
12 hrs passed no problem so far.
It was apps in the background running. Airpush helped. I told her from now on no more free apps, i would rather buy them then fight this **** again. I put the data toggle and beautiful widgets back on her phone and it's ok. Thanks for your guys input.

I am having The same problem with my Samsung Galaxy ace Gt-5830i.
Earlier it had problems with charging and SD card. So we took it to authorized service center. And they said they had formatted the phone and installed stock ROM on it. They also replaced the charger port. But now after two days the phone screen is turning on and off at repeated intervals (for about 2 Seconds). So what might be the problem.
Hello,
I rooted the phone usin gExynosAbuse.apk and now I noticed that the screen will stay on even after some use. I set the display to go off after 1 min. FYI, Motion is OFF and Stay Awake is NOT checked in the development settings.
If the phone is freshly restarted the screen will go off after the set amount of time. However, after some use (not sure what triggers it), the screen would stay on until I pressed the lock/pwr button.
Any idea why?
Thanks.
You have an app keeping it on. Time to go through your list and find it
Thanks for the answer.
That sounds like a pita. I guess there is no other way than run an app and see if the problem comes back, repeat for all the app I have installed?
Well, think back to when the problem first occurred. As long as you weren't configuring apps at the time, its likely to be the last installed app.
Otherwise, you could do what I did when I had an app deodexing my /data/app directory every boot:
Uninstall them in groups until the issue goes away.
You could also take a look at your wakelocks, and narrow it down further that way. The phone definitely isn't sleeping when the screen is on.
Yeah, the thing is I just got this phone and after rooting I went crazy with app installs lol.
Guess will have to take my time to weed out the problem.
Thanks again!
Hope you find it.
After 70 apps, I gave up and just wiped data and started over when I had my issue, LOL.
Anyone else experiencing lag on their g5 mine continually struggles to wake sometime needing a good thirty seconds to spring to life?
Also the you tube app continually stutters and freezes up the phone whether connected to fibre broadband or 4g?

Yes, I actually made a solution for it in the Questions forum, but nobody else seemed to have the issue or care. I found that the wake lag occurs when you try to wake too soon after locking.
I found a very strange solution, but it works: Everytime your phone turns on from being off, you must change your lockscreen wallpaper. This can be to anything. You can even set the same one again. This process has to be repeated at every boot, but it completely solved the issue on my Verizon G5.
To test it out, just lock your screen and double tap to unlock immediately. Shouldn't be lag.

Have you also had the problem with the you tube app? I'm Also finding a lot of other apps crash resulting in an error report and restart of the app?

No I haven't, sorry! You may need a factory reset or could have downloaded a bad app, not totally sure.
I've noticed over the past 2 weeks or so that all of a sudden the phone sometimes doesn't bother with the lock screen. I'll double tap to wake and it'll go right to the home screen (or to whatever app I was in last). This happens with or without notifications. I thought it was something caused by Evolve because it seemed to stop once I cleared data/froze it with Titanium but it's started back up again.
Running Android M, rooted, with Xposed. However, I have not installed any new modules or done any system updates during this time. All of the phone settings look correct, and are unchanged, and there isn't a setting for 'skip the lockscreen like 30% of the time' anyway.
Anyone have any ideas? Could it be an app causing this? I believe those are the only things that have been updated.
Something like Greenify?
Any ideas on where to start troubleshooting would help. Thanks.
Still fighting with this. Anyone else? Removed everything I could find that wasn't being used. Wiped data for lockscreen settings. Wiped cache/dalvik. At a loss here. It's really annoying!
Only thing I can think of is that Power Key Instantly Locks is turned off.

it's on, and lock timer is set to immediately.
doesn't seem to have any relation to time. sometimes I'll pick the phone up after an hour and it'll go right in without the lock screen.

Sorry, I don't have any other ideas. Maybe someone else can be better help.
Still driving me nuts. I thought I had solved it by turning off 'battery optimizations' for anything always-on/lock screen related but that wasn't the answer. Reflashed the rom, still having the issue. Might need to reflash with a full wipe I guess.
I'd rather just move to Nougat but I can't get xposed to work properly. Life is hard haha.
in case anyone finds this thread when dealing with the same issue: Android Wear was the culprit. wakelock detector pointed me in that direction and once i uninstalled it, the problem stopped immediately and has not returned.
