Hello and Happy Turkeyday to all. I have an issue with my wife's note. When she gets any notifications they turn the screen on and it doesn't turn off. I feel pretty knowledgeable about the android O.S. in a whole, I have my S5 rooted and running AICP. I just can't figure out why the notifications cause the screen to stay on. Has anyone else had this problem maybe you could help shed some light on my issue. Thanks in advance.
Is the phone rooted?

No she won't let me root her phone.
Same problem
I have the exact same problem on my Note 4 (N910F).
My phone is rooted and I have had the problem from the start.
I am also running a custom kernel now but the problem persists.
Any ideas on why this is happening anyone? I've got it to not turn the screen on for a notification but now it won't turn off when plugged in.
Turn off the lock screen notifications, or everything you can on the lock screen settings, most likely something is causing the screen to wake lock. My bet is the weather widget.

I just searched for the same problem on the Galaxy s5 and someone said to download wakelock-detector to see if it's an app.
Will keep you updated if it helps.

So a little update, so far, my problem seems to be fixed.
After the app told me that Dsploit was causing a lot of screen-on time, I disabled the app.
Haven't had it happen so far today so I hope this helps you too.

Can anyone else have other fix? I have new note 4 with rom stock and very few apps (5-8 apps)
the "Wakelock Detector-Save Battery" app requird root this not my phone so I can't root for now.
If you have very few apps installed, uninstall those apps one by one to see which one is potentially keeping the screen on. Otherwise, do a factory reset, clear cache; also ensure power button is sticky and is fully functional.

And set the Screen time to 30 sec and shut down the deivce got the battery out turn on, set the Screen time to 1 min and shut down...
a few times in the end got it back to the time I want, all of this fore "soft" reset the database of the settings
..now for about a week+ the problems won't show again :highfive:
Boot into recovery and clear cache
or factory reset like everyone said

I gave you Another solution.
I am on stock 23.2A.1.62 with root, greenify and xpose, stamima mode on.
As you can see in under pics, android OS is on the top of the chart.
Try a lot to find out but still no clue, and is is weird in my google account syncing page?
And something seems to keep my awake all the time!
Please help me to find what is draining my battery? Or is is normal for Z3C?

Looks like a weak mobile network signal could be the cause. Go to Settings > More > Mobile networks > set "Preferred network type" to "GSM only"
I am not saying its your issue, but when I turn google now " voice - ok google detection" and from any screen is on, it just keeps my phone awake 100%. I turn it off and then it updates and comes back on, same issue.
drives me nuts stock everything
Install Wakelock detector by UzumApps.
Perhaps Xposed !
I think it xposed it self that drain battery, an alpha release is unstable.
I tried it i have the same mater, a clean install without xposed and battery is normal
I think you are right, I turn off the voice detection and it seems normal now. Observe a little longer to settle.

I haven't tried it. My phone is in having repairs done.
Have you tried restarting the phone? My android services battery usage climbs that high every few days and restarting seems to clear it up.

Did they remove the option to turn off WiFi when the phone sleeps? Can't find it in WiFi advanced settings.
Yup, i feel like it turns it off and causes issues with taskter, etc. could also just be tasker.

That's terrible. I remember that option was brought in a few years ago.

Yes my apps all stop updating when the screen turns off. This is causing all types of problems. Why the F would they remove this, especially on a phone with a massive 4,000 mAh battery.
Stupid.

Huh? I think we were talking about the opposite thing. WiFi stays ON when sleeping now. Before it could be set to turn off when screen was off thus your apps wouldn't get updated until your phone woke up.

Yeah I know this wasn't the point of the thread, but this is exactly what happens to me. If my WiFi is on and I leave the phone off for a while I get no push notifications for anything, I only noticed one morning when I'd left WiFi on and woke up, when I turned it off and went back to mobile data, all my notifications came. It's not much of an issue for me as I don't use WiFi really, I get 20gb data a month so my mobile data is on 24/7 and get no problems with that.

a lot of this has to do with the battery conservation features of Oreo. every oreo phone i've had has had this issue unless it was a custom ROM built over a 7.1 kernel

Yes I agree, I've had constant problems with notifications for a year or more now, stock and custom ROMs, this is actually the first time I've not had a problem with them, except on WiFi like I mentioned. Everything comes through straight away on mobile data, even when the phone's been asleep for several hours.

Yep. 100%. Since Oreo notifications have been hit and miss for me., Been like this since the note 8 Oreo update .

When you move the phone slightly the underdisplay fingerprint glows, can anybody tell me how to turn it off? I want it to goow only when I press on the phone, is this possible?
Doesn't seem so, as it's the only way to know where to put your finger.
It seems to be implemented at the "hardware level".
I'd you mean the fingerprint icon that shows up when you pick the phone up, you can't disable it currently.

OP, which firmware are you running? I'm on EU rom and there used to be a bug, which resulted in being a workaround to disable the fingerprint icon.
However now there is a dedicated setting, see attached, which allows turning off the icon

Damn, i might flash this rom just for this feature, it's super annoying at night, and it keep activating the screen in my pocket.
Can you flash it over the global rom, or does it require a wipe? (probably..)

Hmm given the rom is different, I'd say you may run into issues. But with that said, worth a shot! If dirty flashing, perhaps wipe system and the caches, then flash rom and magisk (if rooting), and keep those fingers crossed!
Any issues then yeah do a clean install

Does seem somewhat like this because if that and the ambient display is disabled, the fingerprint doesn't respond from screen off. But if that and/or ambient display is enabled, it works. But at least something has to be turned on keeping at least some part of the screen awake.
I chose to enable ambient but disable fingerprint icon because ambient goes around the whole screen giving me peace of mind from burn in unlike the icon

I'm running on the global room not the EU one
Would you recommend me installing the EU room?
I like everything about the phone, but if they would tweak the SOT usage

Yeah I recommend the weekly EU roms for sure. I've not tried the global ones, but this EU one is great, with weekly updates and great features. Definitely worth a try!

Finally if the light of the screen is not setted at the the top the screen is flickering(the light became slower) with some application like chrome or whatsapp.(i turn ed off "sunlight reading mode from "developers option")
