Screen stays on after notification recieved.....

What am I doin wrong ? Time out is set at 15 sec.
EDIT: Solved by using different SMS app. Email app works fine
nope.....email works, sms works, not missed call keeps phone awake all the time....
am i the only one ?
I had this problem... Had to reboot the phone.
I have noticed times when my screen was on. When I tried to determine why it seemed that I had received a mms over two minutes prior. My screen timeout is thirty seconds. I have since rebooted and will see if it makes a difference.

I've rebooted numerous times since I've gotten the phone. I prefer the stock messaging app and don't want to *have to* use something else to make it work right.
Any other ideas?
Looks like this is one of the bugs on the phone.....
Thank god all bugs are software related so far. With nexus it wad mostly hardware/software things
I think I figured it out (at least for me)...
I disabled the "puzzle lock" thinking it would be a pain in the neck when trying to unlock the screen. Come to find out, disabling it is what is leaving the display on when receiving a text. Enabled the puzzle lock, and the display comes on for a sec or two and then shuts off when I get a message.
I prefer very few steps to get where I wanna go. I don't like passwords or codes when unlocking my screen so I disabled it. Either way, though, I have swype the screen to unlock it so it's not a big deal to have the puzzle lock on...

Vibrates when done charging

In case you haven't realized for what ever reason, the Vibrant vibrates when done charging, this wakes me up in the middle of the night sometimes . I've looked through all the settings and there is no way to stop it. Is there anything i can do to stop this?
Try not charging it at night. Works for me!!!
But seriously, you could probably disable it with tasker or something.

Unless you have it on your face it shouldn't wake you up.
If you flash the leaked update, instead of vibrating it gives you a notification.

(I raised the same question at the bottom of pg. 3 of that thread -- yes, it wakes me up too! )
SamVib -- can you confirm that the update disables the alert that happens when the phone is OFF (if so, that's great).

Delay on locking screen when it is turned off

I like to turn off my screen when I am not using my galaxy tab. If I come back after a couple minutes, it annoys me that I have to unlock my tablet.
I would like a way for the screen not to lock until I haven't touched the tablet for 5 minutes, but any less than that it then it doesn't prompt for code.
Is there a setting or app that allows me to do this?

Lockscreen unlock lag

Am I the only one who has been having issues with the lock screen locking up on unlock? had this issue before I rooted am still having this issue.
Find i have to relock (power button) a few times before it starts to work!
Haven't had this problem. It has been smooth since stock. I find it weird that you had the issue before rooting.
Do you have any custom kernels? Any homescreen widgets? Does it happen consistently?
Nope, none, no stock widgets or anything like that, about as stock as you can get.
Happens once every 10 unlocks i would say, might have to send it back!
I can confirm this issue
Face unlock is on with pattern unlock as backup
Whenever face unlock fails I try to enter pattern....pattern does not work
Phone doesn't even show pattern(like its not accepting touch input and I do have it set to "show pattern" )
Slide up to Google Now when unlock pattern screen appear and you get new unlock pattern screen.....entering pattern here works
I suspect it is related to face unlock....when face unlock fails it never locks for touch input
This error occurs 70% of the time not always

I have removed root etc done a fresh wipe and still have the unlock lag issue l, i don't use face unlock. going to try and get a swap from o2 today.
Used to have this problem when using autobrightness
Mine has hung a few times on the lockscreen and each and every time it has, Auto brightness has took a dump.
I don't recall it doing it more than one per reboot though, I'll have to monitor that.

Yes I have this exact issue and posted on it about a week ago in the Q&A forum.
I push the power button and I cannot drag the slide unlock. If I wait 10 seconds it sometimes unfreezes and lets me. I have to cycle the power button until it finally lets me slide unlock.
I've completely wiped the device and that has had no benefit.
What apps do you have installed? I've wondered if it's an app.
I use Words with Friends, IMDB, Reddit is Fun, Tapatalk, and Google News & Weather widget. I'm going to try disabling auto brightness to see if that fixes as suggested above.

Update: I've disabled the auto-brightness and that seems to have fixed the lock screen issue so far.

Ended up getting a new N4 from o2, no longer have the issue, same apps installed must of been some random hardware issue!
Been having this issue, so annoying .

I believe that this is a known very occasional intermittent 4.2/4.2.1 android issue, I have had it a couple of times myself in the last fortnight.

This happens to me all the time. Super annoying! I don't use auto brightness and it happens with any lock I use, slide, pattern, pin. Should I contact Google?
I'm 100% percent stock, not even rooted.

I have also been experiencing this, really is infuriating not being able to unlock your own phone sometimes... Usually cycling the screen on and off a few times seems to work.
I ended up ripping off my brand new BestSkinsEver thinking it might have been the cause!
Same here. In my case, i am using PIN and sometimes it lags out while trying to enter my pin and i have to press power button to lock it and try again.

I have the same problem, and I think i have found a way to replicate the issue.
1. Turn off the screen.
2. Wait around 5 seconds.
3. Put three fingers on the screen at the same time.
4. And without moving the fingers turn on the screen.
At this time the touchscreen doesn't respond or it has some kind of lag and you have to reunlock the screen to make it work again.
Can anyone test this?
Sorry for my english.

This way the lock screen is unresponsive but I feel that it is not the same issue.
The lag I usually experience with the bug is more like the phone doesn't wake up properly and can't handle the input in (real) time
PS. I had this on my 8 GB model (sold) and 16 GB model

Display Timeout

Hey folks, I just got my nexus and was unable to find another topic regarding the screen timeout feature (admittedly, searching the forums on a phone isn't easy).
My Nexus 4 will not go to sleep. I have the screen timeout set to 30 seconds, and have had the phone sitting on a counter for 20 minutes, screen still ablaze. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue?

Does the display dim?

Wonder, why that's happening. mine goes to sleep in 30 seconds. IDK if you did this already but a good reboot might work.
Is your phone currently charging?
Settings -> Developer Options -> Stay awake
I don't know how but I accidentally enabled this somehow. Whenever I charged my phone the screen would never turn off. Once got left on for 3+ hours
Timeout Eagles
I've never encountered that
Could be due to an app.
I had the same symptoms -- screen would not turn off by itself regardless of what I had the sleep setting set to. I could turn the screen off by hitting the side button, but it would not turn off by itself.
Then I remembered that there's some apps I installed that had permission to keep the screen on, presumably even if it is not the active app on screen.
I didn't have time to figure out which one was guilty, so I rebooted my phone to unload them and sure enough the phone does sleep automatically now (until I load up the errant app again, I suppose).
Good luck.

Thread moved. Questions belong in Q&A.
It definitely sounds like an app, e.g. I have dolphin browser set so it always keeps the screen on so I can watch stuff but if I don't close the app the screen will be left on obviously when I put it down and forget it.
Thank you for moving this the proper forum. I guess it was just hanging app. I guess I was just over anxious since the phone was brand new. Now it has been documented for future users. Thanks everybody.
