I've noticed a handful of times that if I don't turn my screen of manually, it does not shut off. battery will be nearly dead, phone hot, and the screen still on an hour later. I have it set to turn off after one minute, but it does not always work. Anyone else run into this?

Yes, mine is doing that as well. Did you find out anything about why this is happening?

I'm on a stock ROM and I haven't noticed the screen stay on longer than the timeout i have set, currently 1 min. Although, I might be in the habit of turning the screen off when I'm done, I do think I've left the screen many times and it always turns off as I've never noticed the screen being on for long periods of time.
One thing which does come to mind, is there is an app which I use that has a setting to keep the screen on while the app is open. Perhaps if you have one of these apps open, it would lock the screen on. Do you run any apps like that?
Are you guys rooted? HTC or Revolutionary unlock? What ROMs/kernels are both of you using?

I was installing some apps on my phone and suddenly the screen turned off. When I tried to turn it on, nothing happened. I then let the phone sit for a minute and still nothing would happen until I noticed the buttons turning on and off. I tried swiping where the unlock would be when the buttons come on and it worked. I could tell from the tactile feel. I then rebooted the phone by pressing and holding the power button and guessing where restart would be. The screen works again.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? First time for me.

I had it happen to me once, when I first got the phone. Exactly as you described, except I had to battery pull. I was using an app called Screen Filter, so I could dim the capacitive lights. I figured it had to do with that app, so i removed it. I haven't had it happen since. I'm not sure if it was Screen Filter that caused it or not, but I haven't had it happen again since I removed it. Either that, or just a coincidence.
Happened to me once when I was messing with a root script that had a bug. Ended up clearing some of my app data too. Seems like a common "brain death" state that the phone can get into. I'm pretty sure it's software related and nothing to worry about.

it happens to me often, and I too have screen filter... but that isn't the cause of the problem (i got it to dim the buttons but it doesn't work on those yet).
I'm not sure what the problem is, but you can eventually turn the screen back on and reboot it - just keep at it. Do you have anything plugged into the headphones jacks BTW? If you do, and you try to reboot, it'll hang. It's done that to me a few times so I unplugged the headphones everytime
Started happening to me after i installed either switkey x or the amazon app, i am not sure but i think that's what caused it
SwiftKey works fine for me... try reinstalling it. Same far any other apps that cause issues, make sure the download was good and reinstall.
If the phone freezes, remember that the only ways to get a try restart is a dead battery or battery pull. Wifes phone froze and shut off, would not restart until a battery pull.
Good luck!

Happens to me too and it is really irritating.

It works perfect for dimming (well turning off) the buttons, check your settings!
so i keep having the same problem even without the swiftke y installed tried to reboot and even factory reset no luck. did you find any solutions.
used to happen a lot when i had aosp roms on my old hero
Are you guys overclocked?
I am not overlooked and I exchanged to another phone.

Damn....I may have to do that. Sprint allowed you to exchange with no hassle? It seems to happen so randomly that I don't think my Sprint Store will exchange it if they can't reproduce it.

I'm overclocked but the issue @ hand is software related. When I had the OG Evo, certain kernels would cause the screen to act in the same matter stated in the op. A lot of bugs that people report would be resolved once we get perm. Root.
My ''xDU4L C0R3 SH00T3Rx'' shot you down in 3D!
SO this has happened to me and I am freaking out thinking its the aosp rom. how long did it take for the screen to light up again. it been like two hours for mine.
Anyone else getting this? Seems to be only the top half of the screen it does this randomly. Takes a reboot to fix it. I am rooted and no matter the ROM tgis happens 2-3 times a week

Sounds like a problem. I would definitely bring the phone in to be checked out.

Happened to me once with my first one, and twice with my second. Not enough times to really make me care.
i've experienced unresponsive issues
So i've experienced the screen randomly becoming unresponsive. So i know its lot locked because i've been in phone calls when it happened, or i can see animations working, or maybe a download bar progressing and then the screen will do nothing at all. I can shut the screen off and back on but then not be able to unlock it. But then i've had the same happen, but i would then be able to unlock the phone only for nothing beyond that to respond. This does eventually go away/stop, Its odd as it makes me think its the screen at times, then software at times (sometimes i cannot hold the power to restart/power down).
i have a similar problem where my lower part of the screen becomes unresponsive randomly at times once a day and then goes away after reboot . im not rooted
For the past few weeks, my screen has been turning on Randomly, and then staying on until I shut it off. This happens sometimes when I'm unplugged, but more often when I'm plugged in. When the screen is on, I also find that the screen will dim after a few seconds (my timeout period) and then brighten back up again.
The up time is 13 hours on it right now, and the awake time is around 8 and a half hours, so I'm unsure if this could be considered a wakelock issue, although it has a lot of similarity's.
I know it must be one of my apps's doing it, but I'm not sure where to start to find out which one is doing it. I'm using Synergy Rom R318. I would consider just uninstalling each app until I found the culprit, but the screen on issue happens randomly, and it could go 15 or 20 without actually turning on.

Are you using an Evo 4G or an Evo 3D? I know this is the Evo 3D section, but I ask because I noticed that on my 4G right after I got even before installing any apps. It would only happen when it was charging but I ignored it assuming it did that when the battery went to 50%/75%/100%. After getting my Evo 3D, I saw that I no longer had this issue. If it is because of the battery charge levels, I'm sure you can flash a mod to disable it.
Shouldn’t you be able to use an app like Watchdog Task Manager by Zomut to track the app down?
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zomut.watchdoglite&feature=related_apps
I'm gonna run logcat and see what pops up.
This happened to me on my Evo 3D as well. It was happening using SteelROM ROM. It was odd because it was on the desk, disconnected, and it'd light up and, if I didn't touch it, dim down and then brighten up again, and would not shut off until I clicked the power button to "lock" it.
After I flashed ShooterRewind RLS3, I haven't had this issue again. I don't know if it is ROM related, or something else that was replaced with ShooterRewind.
Just something to consider, though I'm no expert. Also, each ROM comes with its own set of apps, and with some other apps removed. So it could have been one of the apps that was on SteelROM but not on ShooterRewind. I am using RCMIX 3.0 beta kernel, if that makes any difference.
For last 2months my scree timeout does not work every time I look at my phone the screen is on therefore draining so much battery.
My timeout is set to 30 seconds so its not that.
I have tried jus about everything from adjusting timeout settings to wiping and flashing numerous roms even going back to stock.
Has anyone else experienced this? Please help
Have you tried turning smart stay off?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Thanks but I never enable smart stay can't believe I am only one who has had this
I know it might sound silly but try rebooting your phone and turn smart stay on, see if the time out works.
Then turn it off again, reason I'm asking is I vaguely remember having a similar problem a while ago but was never sure if it was just a coincidence.

Hey guys! Just got my g5 last week and have so far been loving it- fastest Android phone I've used, and a huge improvement over its horribly buggy predecessor. That being said....
I've noticed a crazy unlock delay, but only when it's right after locking it (sometimes I shut off my screen and am like "Oh wait! I totally forgot to do X). When I go to turn the screen on, it stays black for awhile, and then shows an unresponsive screen for second or so before unlocking.
Sometimes it's just an extra second, other times a good 5-10 seconds. However, if I lock the phone and leave it alone for even 20-30 seconds, the screen turns on immediately. Has anybody else run into this? Is this normal?

I use the tap to wake feature a lot and sometimes when I tap it it doesn't do anything and I end up tapping it again and sometimes again after that. On my note 4 I used the wake lock app on it because Samsungs are known for slow wake and I'm using that app now too. It's in the play store. Now the tap to wake never fails. Granted your phone never sleeps but I like it better that way and it seems more responsive too. Could be placebo but I think I actually get better battery life with it because when you wake your phone out of deep sleep all the components are firing back up whereas here everything is always ready. Hope that helps.

Hmm thanks for the tip I'll give it a shot! I guess I figured with the always-on display enabled that it should be able to wake pretty quickly? I do hibernate my apps with Greenify so maybe that's affecting it. But I only get like 3 hours of screen on time even when hibernating my apps.

You're welcome. Yeah with that app I just set it to partial wake lock and I have no issues with it and my phone works great. Good luck!

Sweet. Took the plunge and went for a factory reset, and it completely solved the issue. Im thinking it was Verizon's security update they pushed to my phone the night that I was setting the thing up. SO relieved
Oh wow. Made my battery life amazing too. I unplugged for 5 hours and still only at 86%
Well that's great. Waiting for sprint to drop their update and I'll probably do the same.
