Stay Awake Issue - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys,
Need advice and help. Under developer option, my stay awake button is greyed out. After my update to Nougat, its still greyed out. When I click the info notification beside the button it says that "You do not have permission to perform this action". Can anyone help. Previously I turn on this function whenever I charged my phone and it was working well but somehow its not working now.

I can't turn off screen lock

Hello everyone,
Somehow I have inadvertently set my tilt to lock the screen whenever the screen turns off. I need to disable this, and I can't find a setting. I looked in Kaisertweak, and adjusted settings in settings>system>Key Lock.
I currently have fast sleep and sleep disabled in Kaisertweak, and I have Key Lock set to "do not lock buttons".
Whenever the screen powers off, it enables this mode so that when I turn it back on I have to press the left softkey, which says "Unlock", and then press the Unlock button on the screen.
The worst part is that this is a sudden mystery problem. I went to bed last night with a proper phone, and woke up to this. I've been searching the forums all morning trying to find the answer, but I'm not having any luck.
I'm running Dutty's latest 6.1 build.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Jeff
Okie Dokie, well, I found the problem.
I had inadvertently turned on the "lock on wake" feature of the batterystatus plugin.
I didn't even know that I had this.
Problem solved.
Jeff
thanks man.. I did the exact same thing yesterday and I didn't know how to fix this, until I read your post. I dont' even remembering checking that option in batterystatus. It's kinda weired. But thanks again..
My corporate MS Exchange Server automatically enforced the screen lock security to be used when I connected to the server for the first time. Everytime the phone goes to sleep I have to reenter the password to get access to the device. This is annoying and I would like to disable it somehow. Following the above information I went to the battery options advanced tab and disabled the option "Turn off the device if not used for...".
This seems to stop the lock screen after pushing the pwr buton on and off.
Does anyone know a better way to avoid the screen lock required by MS Exchange Server setting?

Broken power button

Okay i was out in the rain the other day and my Diamond was in my pocket.
Ever since my power button has stopped working. I guess my phone got wet somehow...
Now i always get the " Power will be turned off and you may lose data if you have not saved them. Do you want to continue?"
It just keeps popping up every minute or so it and wont bloody go away.
My power button wont turn the phone off/on or even lock my phone. So I'm guessing it's dead.
I'm guessing there is a part in the phone I can replace to fix this. Can one of you gurus point me in the right direction on which part I would need to buy?
I'm from the UK..
Thank you in advance.
Little bit of an update. My battery died last night. So I put it on charge when I woke up.
I obviously had to use the power button to turn it on. And for some strange reason it worked!
But It wont allow me to lock my phone when it's turned on. And i also get the same issue with the message popping up as I posted above. Could anyone help
anybody know what part i would need to fix this?

HTC One won't turn on!! Please help!!

Hi everyone, I just received an HTC One for Verizon. Whenever the phone goes to sleep, and I try to turn it back on, the phone wont turn on. When I hold down on the power button for 5-7 sec the screen turns on and the phone asks me if I want to restart or shut off my phone. Has anyone had this issue? Is this a sensor issue? The phone should turn on with a simple press to the power button correct? Any remedy will be much appreciated! Thanks!

Do you have "SETTINGS -> POWER -> Fast boot" enabled by any chance? Try disabling that; this "Fast boot" in settings just makes your phone hibernate.
Could very well be something else, but might worth checking out.

This is the GSM One forum, you're likely to get more useful help in the Verizon One forum.

My Mi8 don't wanna turn on (loadscreen blocked)

Hello guys, first, i'm sorry about my english, it isn't perfect.
So, today i received an update, i decided to install it, my Mi8 turn off, i see a blackscreen during 5 minutes, i tough my phone was freezing (again, it happend sometimes i dunno why ..) so i decided to restart it with a long press on power buttom.
I see a screen with an error "update.zip" or something like that, i was panic, so i turn off it, and decided to restart, now my phone is in an infinity loadscreen duration
I only si "MI mi.com" in white, i have no loading progress, nothing, just that.
When i press "Power up + power on" i have an access to some settings, i have try to make "wipe data" it change nothing, i can just do nothing with my phone currently, i'm so dissapointed, i need it for my job, as an alarm to wake up and go work.. i need fix it very soon
Can you help me?
Thanks
ps: i have a computer, and if i remember well, my "usb debugging" isn't activate... should i contact my seller website ? it's a serious website, but they said on the return page, i can probably need to pay something to fix it, but i don't want ! isn't my fault if an upgrade is in progress on my phone without any alert on the screen...

Noticeable delay after pressing screen lock button. System reset does not help.

This issue has been driving me mad for the past couple weeks. I'm at my wits' end and I need some expert help to figure this out. Please read this post thoroughly to understand my situation, as this is not a simple matter of uninstalling some apps.
When I first got my Note 9, the screen lock button worked perfectly. The screen would immediately turn on when I pressed the button, and it would immediately turn off when I pressed it again. However, once I got the Android Pie update, the screen lock button stopped working properly. The screen still turns on immediately, but there's about a 0.5 second delay after I press the button to turn it off. It's a relatively small issue, but it's enough to bother me.
I attempted to fix this by performing a system reset. But this did not help. In fact, this issue is still present even before completing initial setup of the phone.
When you perform a system reset, the first screen you see when your phone restarts is the welcome screen. It contains a "start" button that you press to begin setup. On this screen, the lock button issue does not happen. My phone locks and unlocks correctly. On the next screen, you connect to a wifi network. After connecting to a wifi network, the lock button issue becomes present. In other words, this issue with the lock button is present before I even start using the OS, or install any apps, or really do anything at all. It seems to be triggered by connecting to a wifi network during setup.
So I figured there must be something wrong with the firmware. So I used Odin to flash an earlier firmware version. This did not solve the issue. I even tried installing an unlocked firmware version, on the offchance that my carrier (AT&T) was doing something weird. This did not help either.
I have no idea where to go from here. I thought that a system reset is supposed to completely wipe everything from your phone, so that it behaves exactly how it did when I first got it. But that's not the case. It seems like something is carrying over that's causing this issue. Does anybody have any idea what I should do?
Do you have lock instantly with power key on?

It is probably the double tap power button to open camera feature. You can toggle it off and locking will be instant.
If its already off, there my be an accessibility service listening key presses.

This delay issue is so silly but it annoys the hell out of me. Where did you turn off this feature in Pie?
Update: Found it. Just use the search box in settings and type in "camera" (or whatever it is in your language). The "double tap power" setting will get listed.
Thanks alot,
Watz
I even turned off the double press for camera app but I'm still noticing a 0.5 sec lag when i press the side key
I even restarted after changing the setting
Nothing is happening
Please help
