has anybody have this issue where your screen just randomly turns off?
and you have to hit the power button to turn it off.
i was using the music downloader app and i just touched the screen when it just went black. i had to hit the power button again to turn it back on.
oh and also i had my password set to 2580 just incase the finger print scanner didnt recognize it and it wouldnt take it. i typed it in about 10 times just scanned and changed it over again. just wondering if anybody is having these issues.
No finger scanner problems at all, and no lock pass problems either.
Screen do turn off but u can change that from settings.
Settings>Display>Screen Time out ( i am using 1 min, best for battery saving and dont turn off while usage)

yeah i checked those settings and its on the default 1 minute.
but it seemed strange that i had jsut touched it and bam went black.
There are only tow things i can think of.
1. U have a faulty phone.
2.Us battery is lose (try jerking around ur phone while screen is on, if screen goes blank and phone turns off then u know what the problem is)
if ur facing problem 1 then company warranty is only way, and if problem is number two wither sticking a piece of paper or changeing battery will fix the problem.
i had problem number 2 with my nokia phones quite a lot
One more thing try resetting ur phone to factory default, may be something u installed is causing problem.
I haven't noticed that it has done it. Just that time. But I got worried since its not even 2 days old.

does this happen to you?
i was playing on my tablet then the screen turn soooo dark
like as if the bright setting is turn all the way down.
i can hardly see to operate, i press the power button then again to login.
but when i check the setting it appear untouch
even after turning off auto brightness.
Mine kinda does this... mine just goes super dark, but i usually just touch the screen or the power button and it brightens back up, just like a laptop getting ready to go into sleep or hibernate mode.
It happens again after I set timeout tok 30 m3inutes
It could be bad lcd, I could not see a thing.
That would suck if it is a bad LCD, but at least it would be under warranty!
This happened to me, I think it is because I had brightness at maximum... I turned the brightness slightly down and it has happened again. But maybe that's just me?

It has a light sensor and auto-adjust capability. I've notice as I move around with mine or change how room light hits it will darken or brighten. Doesn't bother me enough to go looking for some settings to disable it, but there should be some there.
I have the same problem too... everytime I turn off the screen using the power button then turn on again the screen turn very dark when the setting is set to auto brightness... it is very annoying while doing something on the S and went away from a while then come back to use it the brightness is totally so dim...
I'm sorry to say but you guys have a defective unit. Just switch it in right away.
turn off auto brightness.
I contact newegg yesterday but no reply yet.
edit: i call them via phone got my shipping label.
Turning off auto brightness doesnt help, but tuning down the brightness from max down slightly I havent had the issue.
If it happens again ill have to send this back, I feel bad loosing the official siony screen cover.
Byt loosing $30 is better than five ninty-nine us dollars.

The issue describedhappened to my first one which is why I know it. Just re turn it. Its not normal behavior.
It is the Android problem, not Sony. Unless you change OS....

my xperia x10 2.3.3 fw and before that doesn't bug me this much.
if all 3.2 fw tablet does it then i would blames on 3x
go ahead turn on your auto brightness and browse the net in a well lid room.
I have one that is doing the same thing. Also every now and then the screen shuts off and I cant get it to come back on for awhile unless I hold power for like 30 sec. Is this a defective tablet or honeycomb 3.2? Thanks!
I'm telling you guys, I sell the things andI KNOW the issue they are taking about. We played with the settings all day and it kept happening but the issue NEVER happened to any of the other units. It's most likely a defective unit because as I said, it only happened to the one unit.

I am absolutely satisfied with this phone . BUT i have one problem . When i push the power buton it takes between 0.2 and 2 secound to appear the lock screen. What should i do to make it faster? Becouse the waiting is disappointing with this hardware ....
if u want instant on u will need all of you 4 cores to stay awaken at full speed at all time u still want it ?
it goes to power saving mode thats why it needs 2 secs to be awaken

It's right , but my old desire hd had about 0.5 sec to wake up . This is why i asked it .
It's a battery saving feature. You can turn off S-Voice on lockscreen from the S-Voice settings, or just completely disable the whole application like I did, and this speeds up the wake process a little bit.

Yes i have already done that . But this lag is really annoying . Mainly because its not always the same ammount . Sometimes it takes 3 secounds but sometimes its a half secound. I really dont know what to do...
If your USB cable is connected, it wakes up instantly, if not, there is a lag. This is a feature (!) of Samsung phones. We discussed it deeply on this thread in SGS2 forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136223
Basically, it's epic failure by Samsung and there's no solution.
It can't be explained by saying phone needs to sleep, because HTC, LG, Sony, Motorola phones sleep too and none of them needs so long to wake up.
oh well in terms of when your actually using the phone, nothing compares to the speed and fluidity of Sammy phones. Isnt really an issue that it takes a second longer to wake up

Yes, but they also dont tend to have as good standby battery life on HTC, LG, Sony or Moto phones.
I'm not defending them completely but this is a design decision rather than a bug. That said, on the Galaxy Note it has been almost completely alleviated since the ICS upgrade.

I noticed it only recently after screwing around @ 1.8ghz that suddenly the phone is taking sometimes millisec or sometimes even 3 secs to go to lock screen and also ripple is slowed if immediately try to unlock. I thought maybe i messed up some part of hardware by o/cing it too much. Even my old LG O3D takes just a sec. ANyway glad to know it's a common thing and not my phone being fkd up.
I can't judge, I take several minutes to wake up.
Still waiting...

Thank you for all the answers!
Ive noticed this too, its frustrating, makes the phone feel laggy.
My S2 was running CM9 and that was sharp as hell, no messing about, is this something that will in time be fixed with a custom rom?
Whenever I'm reading something on my phone, if I don't touch the screen for 5 seconds the brightness decreases to unreadable level regardless of the original brightness setting.
Can this annoying "feature" be turned if, and if so, how?

Increase your display timeout. The screen dims just before powering off (5 seconds, I think After playing with it a bit, I think the time for dimming is based on a percentage of time until the screen powers off, as the time between dimming and screen off seemed longer when I raised the timeout value. I have not actually timed it). If you increase your display timeout, it seems to put off the dimming as well. This setting can be found under "Basic Settings" on the "Display" tab of the built in system "Settings" app.
Alternatively, an app like Screebl may work for this, though I haven't tested it.

I have my screen timeout set to 30 seconds and it dims after just 5 sec.
Is it not odd though that the phone itself doesn't have a setting to defeat this?
Why stop at 30 seconds? I set mine at 15 minutes. If you don't want it dim on itself, turn off the auto brightness.
Screebl works great! Have used it since my original droid incredible and it has always worked great! One of the first apps I install on a new phone!

I've been using the app gravity screen because I like the feature of it turning the screen on when I take it out my pocket.
Or LG can put the face detection back in the software!

My phone's backlight would over-adjust way too much even with auto-brightness off.
I downloaded Lux off the playstore at the advice of a member in the Q&A thread. Haven't had a problem since

What you're asking for is the smart screen feature that defects when you're looking at it. LG had it on the G3 and I don't remember for sure but i think it was on the G2. I don't know about the G4. For some reason they took it away from the V10. I'm a little upset about that. Hopefully they realize the mistake and bring it back.

I know this thread is old af but unlike everyone else that has posted I completely understand what you mean. I just restored from a android backup...everything is great, except now my screen dims after 5 sec then turns off after another 5 sec. It doesn't matter what you have the screen duration set to, or if auto brightness is enabled or not. You can set screen on for 20 min...it dims after 5 then shuts off. Period. Theres no app or setting that will override that. Dunno why mine just started this nonsense but I feel your pain. Hopefully a wipe and clean flash fixes my issue

Is it not because your battery level was too low (under 15 %) and a battery economy setting was used ? Just check your power settings in android settings...

nope, I have 5 batteries for this thing lol even at 100% it was dimming the screen after 5 seconds. I think initially it was something going wanky with my TWRP backups. I noticed all of a sudden backups I've used multiple times I couldn't use because my screen lock pattern would say incorrect. I've used the same screen pattern since froyo 2.2 on the very first Galaxy S. its not like I forgot it lol so my work around for that was just wipe data and start over. well when I did that my screen would keep shutting off quickly like the op issue. so then I just did a clean install of the 7.0 zips and I kept having the same screen issue. finally after like 5 or 6 total wipes and clean flashes the screen timeout is finally back to normal. just gonna chalk it up to some funky bug issue. I've noticed twrp doesn't do the best job wiping on this device. even after wiping data, cache, davlik etc and clean flashing the 7.0 rom all the tweaks & scripts I altered are still there. so who knows, there isn't enough active users or devs, or even interest in this phone where I'll ever find a solution i assume, but it's working good now so it is what it is. I just know my issue was the exact same 100% as the OP addressed and everyone was acting like he was overlooking some small detail or option. altho I'm not a developer or anything close, I'm far from noob status and just figured I'd let him know that I've experienced the same issue and it was in no way a setting that he missed lol

Interesting description, thanks. Now that you mention this, I also had leftovers after TWRP partition formating on this device.
Indeed, development is minimal, thanks to LG locked bootloaders on the V models... It's a pity, as those are the devices that were interesting for me.

well even with the unlocked bootloader in the T-Mobile variant development is close to flat lining lol but yeah I've had issues with pretty much every version of TWRP leaving artifacts after wiping. It never seemed to be an issue back in the cwm days. too many unofficial builds I guess. but even with this phones issues my two main uses for a phone is a digital audio player for my flac audio files and a camera for my eBay store, both of which this phone is excellent at and the large SD support and extra batteries are a plus. But even now that I got the screen dimming and lock screen issues taken care of with this last flash now I have random force closing of apps that I never had before. it's not bad enough for me to re flash and risk the other issues I just resolved tho. if it persists I might just drop the $200 on a used v20

My phone's always-on display will turn off. I can't bring it out of it's 'slumber' anyway other than plugging it in. It instantly pops out of sleep and works fine. I'll lock it and while I can see the always-on display the fingerprint reader will unlock it with no problems. This just started in the past hour for me. I've tried resetting the phone and the issue still pops up, and quickly at that.
Are you using a case or screen protector? Could be something interfering with the ambient light or proximity sensor causing the phone to think it's in your pocket at all times?
Edit:
Actually just tested this. Covered the top sensors and the always on display turned off and fingerprint sensor no longer worked just like you described

You may be right about that. I'm using a lifeproof case and I had just opened it up to clean off the inside (I had shown someone the phone earlier and dog hair found its way to the inside of the case). Funny thing is I turned it completely off and let it sit for a time, as opposed to the restart I did earlier, and it's working alright now. Maybe I just needed to reset it's calibration by resetting it?
Anyone know how to disable this weird dependence on the light sensor? I just don't understand why it would ever disable itself because it's dark.

I read this is a feature of the phone. The always on will turn off in your pocket or in a darkened room. Nice idea since you do not need to be using the juice then. You can test this in a dimmly lit room by cupping your hands over the display to block the light.

Sure, but it won't turn on even when I press the back button. Pretty obnoxious when I'm sitting in a blacked out room and I have to hold it up to the computer screen to activate it.
Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't read the thread carefully. That sucks. I'm in a dark room now watching video. The display turned off, I heard a notification, when I picked up the phone it came on. I do not like that that the led notifications stop. I'm not sure what happens to sound notifications when the always on goes off. I prefer to set the phone silent until a certain time in the AM and then use a sound profile to get notifications and a low volume.

I'm thinking it was the Lifeproof case I have on it. It all worked fine for a week then when I tested the case for waterproof it failed (the phone wasn't in it). I sent for another one and it seems to be working alright now. Maybe it had something to do with the inside of my case getting wet? I don't know.
Great! Enjoy your phone g why are we still calling these things phone?). I like the G5. Now that we have torur I am hoping their for some nice tweaks.
I've had this happen too and it made my life proof case useless because I couldn't use my phone with it on it I still have the issue once in a while but not nearly as often anymore
