SideSync Issues - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Noticed that when screen mirroing with SideSync to my PC, the device screen doesn' actually turn off, but just dims. A weird glitch that probably has something to do with the AOD.
Anyone else experiencing that? I've never that problem with my Note 4.

[Q] Phone turns it's display on itself?

Hi,
I have now since 3 Weeks my HTC One and noticed that sometimes the display turns on itself.
Yesterday it happend, that I wrote a mail to a friend, that contained some chars like "QUAJFK,,asdfkjl", so I think that the device turned on and wrote this mail in my pocket!
Is there anybody else with this problem?
Wakelockdetector is showing HTC sense which turns on the display! How can I prevent this?

This happens when the TV remote control app is running, so you don't have to fumble around finding the power button to keep using your TV!

This is the likely answer. If you leave the TV app running you'll notice it stays in your notification tray until you specifically close it. As part of this app the phone detects when it is moved and turns on, mimicking the behavior of a real remote (which you don't have to "unlock" every time you want to change the channel).

I don't have the remote configured and I'm not using the remote...
I think this happens with update of HTC sense!
The lockscreen is still there, but the sensitivity of the touch is to sensitive, that the phone can be "touched" through the pocket of my trousers!
I now have a lock screen with pattern security but I don't like this much!
On my previous phone (Samsung Galaxy Nexus) I didn't had this issue. The screen never turned on through the trouser the phone couldn't be handled!

That is weird. What do you do to fix it? just keep pressing the power button? or do you just wait and the screen eventually turn on? is it working meanwhile... like, can you lock yourself out on the pattern lock while the screen is off but supposed to be on?
probably totaly unrelated, but the nexus one have an issue with the amoled/digitizer. When the screen is on while charging (or on for longer periods without digitizer use) the digitizer will not work until the amoled is turned off/on again. maybe some crazy electro migration bug or badly spec caps going on on google+htc design for the n-one... maybe they haven't learned any lesson

Mine does that too sometimes, it did it most recently driving in the car. Have you tried wiping the screen? Sometimes if I make sure my screen is spotless, it's more responsive...don't know if it's placebo or not.
But you aren't the only one!

Im not sure maybe. Ill have to see what the screen does before it happens. When Ive noticed it my screen was off just sitting on the table and when I pick it up nothing happens.

I dont think it has anything to do with the screen though. Becuase ill pick up my phone and it wont turn on. What ive done is turn the screen on and off and then leave it for a few minutes and it just starts working again... pretty annoying but it happens very rarely

I think it doesn't work while in the car because it can't differentiate the pick-up motion vs. the motion from driving.
Not sure why it wouldn't happen sitting on a table though, unless it was just recently set down.

[Q] Screen on

Hey Z3c owners,
After an upgrade to LP-5.0.2, my screen acts weird. When phone is locked time to time screen comes on and does not turns off automatically, despite that my screen timeout is set to 30 seconds.
I have no idea what is causing that, thought that I could be triggered by notifications but after few test this idea felt.
Anyone has similar issue? Or any thoughts how to find whats triggers that screen on, and does not allows it to turn off?
Thanks

Random screen auto turn on with do not turn on display in notification

My red magic 3 will randomly turn the screen on even with the option to not wake up the screen in every settings I could find. I have seen it happen when I'm driving or walking and even just having the phone on my night stand.
Then screen will turn on and there's no new messages or notifications, it just turns on.
Any ideas as to what I could try?
My friend has this exact same issue! We both have the same phone, mine does not do it but his does. Just, randomly the screen turns on, doens't seem to be related to notifications or anything. If anyone knows what's causing this, it would be appreciated. Thanks!

AOD

Friends, has any one else observed strange behaviour with AOD feature. As it name suggests if enabled, I expect to see it all the time. But I have observed, after a while the screen turns off. Has any one else noticed this?
Also are there ways to show more info in the AOD screen???

I found that if it's dark or not moved for extended periods it'll shut off, but I think that's mentioned at the setting for it
How about this feature in custom ROMs?
