Not sure if anyone else had this behaviour.
Rooted my Archos 101it last week using the Urukdroid 0.3 files. Since then, the screen comes on every couple of hours. The lockscreen is displayed for a couple of minutes, no other activity takes place, then goes to sleep again. The only other thing I've noticed is that when the screen comes on, the alarm icon is present in the notification bar. I don't have any alarms set, and haven't installed any alarm apps.
Just wondered if this is normal "post-rooting" behaviour, or if anyone knows why this is happening?
I have the same behavior.
I also don't know what is happening. I Suspect some internet activity, some sync ....
Are you using any of the custom kernels, or stock Android? Are you also getting the alarm clock symbol in the notification bar?
Haven't tried leaving it with wifi off, will try that tonight and see if it still happens.
I have saurons kernel.
I read in another forum that the Kernel of the 2011-01-12 is working without this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897877
I experienced the same without any custom kernel/ROM.
I'm pretty confident this issue arose in the 2.71 update and is caused by the Google frameworks apps. If i don't use the Market, Maps or Gmail, this does not happen.
I have made it a habit to close all running programs before shutting off, that seems to take care of it.
I am wondering why in better battery stats it tells me this is the thing that wakes my phone up 50% of the time. I don't have facebook accounts or anything really that would update automatically. Im trying to figure out how I can see what is causing this to run so often and wake my phone up. Any help?
Does anyone know how to make the phone stop waking up so often?
Anyone else having this happen? If I reboot, as soon as my phone comes up the GPS is going and continues to go for like 7-10 minutes before finally going away.
No clue what's causing it but it's rather annoying.
I would guess it is normal for Google and other services on your phone to collect data on your location for things like weather and traffic and stuff like that right after a boot but 7-10 minutes is a rather long time. Is the gps signal locked during that time or flashing like it is trying to obtain a signal?
If you run your task manager you should be able to see what apps are running and that may give an indication of which is trying to get your location for so long.
Update: Just started happening again and this time the phone wasn't rebooted. I'm almost convinced it's an app. And no it doesn't fully lock on, but it tries to the entire time. I'll play around with it some more, but I have a feeling it's one of the many apps I installed today.
It's Beautiful Widgets causing the problem. Also sometimes the time isn't updated properly. Not sure if BW is having an issue with this phone, or ICS, or maybe just MY specific configuration.
Any other good Clock/weather widgets out there?
hi guys
i am having some weird problems with my s3, sometimes when i set my screen time out to 30 seconds. sometimes my s3 screen will not turn off, sometimes this happens while charging, sometimes after getting my battery pack full charge my screen will not also turn off, and the most recent event taht just happened is someone just gave me an phone call and i was not able to answer that call; after that event the screen of my s3 did not turn off. i think it was turned on for about an hour.
is the screen timeout features has bugs? if i set it to 30 seconds this weird event happens; to fix this trouble i need to press the power button manually. if i set it to 15 seconds i think it works ok but the time span is too short for me and right now i am trying to observe the 1 minute screen time out. but for me the 1 minute option is too long.
has anyone of you guys also felt that setting the screen timeout feature to 30 seconds is buggy? and what were your solutions to this problem?
thanks guys
I am experiencing a similar problem however I cant pin it down to a certain circumstance or some up with a solution. The problem seems to have started for me after the Jelly Bean update.
Do you have developer options under settings enabled? If so, do you have "stay awake" ticked or un-ticked?
Also there are couple of widgets causing a problem with screen timeout, like "Extended Controls". If you have that installed, uninstall and check again.

I have checked the setting and the "stay awake" is unchecked. Yesterday it was staying on all of the time, but today it only seems to do it when it is on the charger. To weird... I only have a few widgets I am using, Calendar, weather bug, flip book and Google play Music. are any of these causing a known problem?

Do you have Smart Stay enabled under Settings > Display
I know that if my phone is in certain places in the room when I have been using it and just put it dowb the screen stays on as Smart Stay is detecting that I am still looking at it even though I am not just try turning Smart Stay off for a day and see if it stops doing it.

These are not the "usual suspects" but what I can suggest is removing all of them and adding one by one while checking the time out. Its not the best way but its the only way to identify since its not a common problem :/

I will give this a shot and see what happens. I had used these widgets on my old phone without a problem, but it is worth a try.

I initially thought is had something to do with smart stay as well as I did have it enabled, however turning it off did not solve the problem.
Anyone have a solution? I am experiencing the same issue where the screen does not time out... It will work when i do a reset.
I have tried to disable all widgets and thought that worked, but later determined it was still happening. it really seems sporadic. The problem persists consistently for a period of time, but then will work fine for a while, then go back to not working. My battery is dead now because I missed a call, the screen turned on, and never turned off. I am just discovering this 3 hours later... There has to be a solution. I may have to do a master reset, but I just did one due to reception issues and don't want to go through it again. Who knows if it will even solve the problem.
I've noticed this issue since first getting my S3 in July. So I do know it happened with 4.0.4 and now with 4.1.1. I've never used the "Stay Awake" option in the dev options and it still remains off. I've had the issue with both "Smart Stay" on and off. I've tested it with all screen time out times, as well as going through the trouble of factory resetting the device and nothing changed. The only solution I've found is reboot the phone and it will work again for a day or so until I notice it again. Very annoying and would love to find a solution to this!
I am having the same problem with my AT&T galaxy s III only a hard reset (pull battery) will fix it but it comes back at random times. Any updates on this?
Same problem here, it's strange because it just happens randomly.
Some days I will look at my phone and it appears to have a miraculous 50% battery drop. I too keep screen timeout set to 30 seconds...any insight here would be awesomely appreciated.

You need to check for wakelocks,
Wakelocks can be used by other apps to wake your screen, and keep it on.
I discovered it by using Wakelock app :
Wakelock detector at GooglePlay
Hi!
I have a Google Nexus phone on Verizon and it has recently begun waking up on it's own with no apparent reason. It keeps doing this and kills the battery within an hour or so. It only seems to do this when running on battery. It does not happen while charging.
I wanted to know if there is a way to monitor what process/application is waking the phone up.
I have uninstalled the two apps that I remember installing since the problem began and I'd rather not go through having to uninstall every app to figure out what is causing it!
TIA!

Yep, there is. Just try wakelock detector.
Other people use also betterbattery stats, but I can't read it.
Thanks for the suggestion!
I've installed WLD but I'm a bit confused by what I should be looking at to see what app is turning my screen on. I read the presentation about WLD but it did not seem to help me. (Maybe I have a feeble brain!)
I did try disabling the application (Lightflow) that seemed to be waking the phone up a lot but the screen is still coming on without reason.
If you could point me the right direction, I'd REALLY appreciate it!
