My device is completely stock.
I have noticed that the screen will randomly wake on its own to the lockscreen.
If i get a notification it does this however will also do it with nothing apparently new having happened.
Any ideas?
I noticed this before on my P9-L:ite but haven't seen it yet on my P10. In my case, I believe it happens when the phone loses or regains internet connectivity. Since networks are kind of spotty where I am, it happens somewhat often.
i have the p10 plus and i have the same situation...... any solutions?
Mine only does this when receiving a snapchat from someone. Could it be app related?
My one week old P10 plus has the same problem. It happens when I lock the phone while any app is active (I tried with a few apps). However, it doesn't happen when I lock the phone while the home screen is active.
Has anyone found a solution?
Still interested in this–
started happening to me a few days back aswell; I noticed the change after shooting some balls with my phone in the pocket, screen facing the skin. At some point the phone got insanely hot. When I picked it up all sorts of s*** happened, as if my thigh was able to make touch inputs through the pants? Notification center / quick settings were all toggled randomly. Flashlight, geo location and hotspot were switched on whereas Wifi and Bluetooth were off (which is unusual). And the camera was running with fully brightened screen, which I think was main reason for the heat.
I wasn't sweating extensively; meaning the phone wasn't wet in my pockets or something–
And I don't know if the random screen wake up enabled my thigh to make the touch inputs or of something else happened which from then on let the screen randomly wake up– chicken and egg, you know :F

Hey everyone
Has anyone else noticed that their TyTN II wakes from standby when switching between GPRS and 3G. At least I think this is why mine appears to wake up randomly! It will be sat on my desk in standby mode and then the screen will switch on and the signal strength bars will move.
I've checked to make sure nothing is running in the background and performed a soft reboot.
Any ideas?
Hi
The Kaiser does turn on at least once every hour (some house keeping tasks), and will turn on if the mobile signal is lost. However these on's are in unattended mode which means the device appears off to the owner so the screen will not come on.
If you have some software that likes to do work or updates the today page for example, that software may be detecting the device has turned on and in order to get your attention or just through bad programming, issues a power announcement to say turn on proper, hence the display lights up!

Phil
Thanks for the info, I'll have a look what I have on there and try and isolate what is causing the power ups.
Cheers for the help.
If you have sprite backup installed with the auto backup on low power option that causes occasional power ups to enable the power check.
I may have solved this issue. After uninstalling enAlarm the phone, no longer appears to be waking. I'm still monitoring it though
i have the same problem when im signed on to AIM. Once i sign off it stops waking up, but if its on it'll wake up every 5 minutes or so, and it is in fact annoying. Havent found out the solution for it yet so i just dont really use it that often

it's when a friend log's in or out of AIM.. it's a paint, rediculious and ATT refuses to get rid of OZ messanger and use a real one.
here's the kicker. it supposed to use TEXT , but when a friend logs in or out, the message is sent to your phone, and then DATA brings up the list..
STUPID and ignorant of ATT but,. big companies do what they want!
I have been having the same problem as well. I just installed this DeviceLock program:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305402
If you enable the "Lock on Wake" option, the device will be locked when it wakes up, so the backlight stays off and you won't call anyone by accidentally hitting buttons.
Also, I ran across this related thread you might want to check out (basically talking about the same thing, but for the Tilt):

Does anyone else have this happening my screen will randomly turn on after i press the button on the top to turn it off? it is very annoying at night it makes me think i have an incoming call or text message and being that Im on call 24x7 sometimes have to check it everytime it happenes which is about ever 10 to 15 minutes????
I searched on here already and couldnt find anything?????
any help?????
yes, that's probably normal behaviour, since the SCREENN-OFF button also works as SCREEN-ON button, whatever necessary...
but my screen doesn't turn on randomly...
my tip: just put your device in a thick wool sock and put it face down on your desk ;-)...
another possibility is, that if you charge it over night and the plug isn't fitting right then the screen may turn off because it constantly thinks it's plugged in and out...
Best Luck and nice dreams
Regards
not only when plugged in
actually it doesnt only happen when the phone is plugged in it happenes all the time

mine does it too upon occasion. i think it has to do woth background processes running, or your phone is roaming for alternative towers.
mine does it too. I have the Sprint CDMA version. Someone on a different forum thought it might be the phone looking for a signal. But no one was really sure. Haven't been able to find much useful info on it anywhere.
it's switching towers...my Mogul did it too.
is there any way to make it stop
In some of the aboce cases it can be that someone is trying to make a video call to you while Phone skin is disabled.
I also have this problem. My screen will turn on from time to time without any obvious reason. It's especially annoying at night... I have my phone in a cradle on my nightstand, so when the screen comes on the whole room lights up! I've resorted to keeping a shirt over it at night.
I tried setting the phone to 100% roaming since my Sprint signal is low in my apartment and I read somewhere that the phone will turn on when it switches towers/service, but alas it did not help me.
ANY IDEAS FOR A FIX?
My phone is constantly waking up when not in use. There is no obvious activity that i see, such as email,SMS etc. I was told possibly when the signal or towers change it wakes up?
All i know is im at work and the darn phone keeps lighting up. Im driving at night and it's lighting up. it's in my pocket and im dialing my last call! This is also killing my batteries!
Is anyone having this problem?? Can this be fixed?? registry tweak?? Im so angry with this phone because of this. otherwise i really like this phone.
Thanks.
I had the problem of dialing when in my pocket... and a slightly different error with the lights.. the ones around the dial just won't switch off even when all the messages and alerts are cleared.
I've found that if you lock the screen so that you can only use the power button, it solves this as it's easy to unlock the phone from ur pocket (I've had it in a jacket pocket and it's done it!)
Should solve it!...
As for the lighting up... have you tried adjusting the power options for optimum battery as this solved the same issue on my Touch Cruise.
you can use TouchLockPro for preventing bogus calls. Are you sure it does not awake on buton presses, a windows mobile setting.
wake up woes
Same issue here. It seems the CDMA Sprint Diamond wakes up on new SMS or when switching cell towers and there is no way to disable that regardless of what ROM you're using. It's ridiculous... and it is my only major problem with the phone. Hopefully someone will find a better solution. Until then Locking the phone will have to suffice.
ive been using the lock feature. the only thing is it often gets "stuck" in lock mode. i will turn on the phone the backlight would be dim - like in lock mode. i can use the phone but it wont come out of the "dim" mode until i take out the battery and put it back in.
separately,
I wonder if i was using the diamond phone from another provider if i would have the same "waking" problems?

I have the same problem. The phone wakes up all the time by itself. It is a problem with the defective power buttons that come on the Diamonds. No fix for that so far that I know of. It is a hardware problem, I think.
Mine wakes up when switching between home and roaming towers. Not sure about switching home to home towers or roaming to roaming. I also had my power button being bumped on from time to time; I'd take out my phone to find it had tried to dial someone, adjust the clock, etc. Very annoying.
Pocket Shield is amazing; it's the only lock app I can find that does what my Treo's always did: unlock on center button.
Works wonderfully well!
Before I upgrade my 1.93 CSL ROM to the 2.0x CSL ROM, it also always woke up itself...
After I upgarded my ROM (i.e. a hard reset) problem gone... So I think that's not a hardware problem...
Yet at this moment I'm still unclear which program caused that problem...
I've been using the locking program S2U2 which is free and it works beautifully.
Hi all
I got my urbane last week and everything has been great so far. I did initially have a bit of problem with the wifi and had to do a hard reset. I have turned that off now and just use Bluetooth. The bluetooth range in my house isnt much different to the wifi anyway so not a big deal. The battery lasts two days with ambient mode always enabled which I think is pretty good by smart watch standards. .
The problem I have is sometimes the screen just goes black. Tapping it wakes it up but I have it set to never sleep and its happened three times today. I know it turns off when it's been sat down untouched after 30 minutes or so but its been doing it whilst on my wrist. I'm using pujie black as my watch face so wonder if it something to do with that. Has anyone else had similar and managed to solve it?
Cheers
I am encountering the same issue since I updated to LCA44B OTA and I have found no solutions to this point. Pretty annoying since everything was working back then
Mine will only turn off after long time of not moving, seems about 30 minutes
as long as I keep doing things and moving my wrist, the screen will not turn off
the screen does this when it detects no motion for like 5 or 10 minutes, its normal.
If it's on your wrist it should be fine but if left unmoved for about 10 minutes it will turn off to black screen. This can be affected if using some "3rd" party screens from Watchmaker or Facer as some of these faces can have little "bugs" that affect the "never off" setting and can - repeat can - turn screen to black even when wearing the watch. (I have only come across this a couple of times and have reported the situation to the respective "face" designer).
I've searched far and wide and can't find a solution for this issue.
Here is what happens: for no reason that I can see (no new notifications), my screen turns on its own. My phone is just there on the table when this happens and I haven't touched it.
This happens whether the phone is plugged in or not. It happens in the middle of the night and wakes me up.
Things I came tried:
- turn on do not disturb and remove all exceptions.
- disable always on display.
- disabled all lock screen notifications.
- disabled a notifications.
Other things I've tried:
Lift to wake and all other things that could wake the screen.
Did a factory data reset and re setup my phone from scratch.
Nothing works. Can anyone please help me?
Thanks in advance.
I had the very same problem until a few days ago when this behaviour suddenly stopped. What changed? I had shutdown my Pebble watch and connected a Wear OS watch to my phone.
I don't know what the Pebble did, but it looks like it woke up my phone at random intervals.
Maybe it a bluetooth device you've connected?
I'm expeciencing sometimes this behaviour when listening to the music on bike with phone in pocked on back. I disabled all "smart" funcions like smart lock, pocket detecting, wearing detection etc and it stopped.
I think it is caused by new type of proximity sensor used in whole S10 line (so I think it is hw related). I read somewhere than it detects skin proximity even thru several layers of cloting.
It is behaving strange even during phone calls - when put phone down from my ear, it tooks several seconds until screen lights on.
it's one of the things that bothers me a lot about otherwise great phone.
facing same issue
I always loved Samsung galaxy s10. I bought it from my friend who used it for 10 months. I am facing the same issue first I thought it is because he used it for 10 months and some bug appeared but now I came to know its not just me. if anyone knows how to fix it then please post a reply. I really need to fix this
I haven't noticed that on my S10. It sounds like something is triggering it, but what. Do all of you use Bixby because I don't.
