OK I've had this happen to me for at least three days now and it's finally to the point where I'm posting to see if anyone else has experienced it. I use the Vega in landscape virtually all the time and because of that I lock it in that orientation. However, once or twice an hour the screen will briefly flip to portrait (power button would be on the left in that orientation) then back to landscape. It's very brief and as I said it flips back just as quickly but it's very annoying. It has happened while watching videos too which is more annoying as it takes longer than a browser to change orientation while playing.
I've tried recalibrating it, rebooting the tablet and everything short of reflashing the ROM. I'm really hoping to avoid reflashing to test it as I've finally got the screen calibrated to an almost perfect level thanks to the other calibration app on the MoDaCo forums. Has anyone else had this behaviour before? If so, have you found a fix?
I do not have your exact problem but something similar. Just now I picked mine up and screen was upside down (when the device was right side up i.e. buttons at top and right). I checked the rotation button and it was not locked. When I rotate the device it will not switch rotation at all - when I go into settings and turn off auto-rotation it flips right-side up. It seems like the accelerometer is knackered but it would seem to be working in order to flip it when auto-rotation is switched off. The daft thing is that in various screens it flips to being right side up. It boots up the right way round and the lock screen is the right way round but as soon as unlocked it flips upside down. I too have tried rebooting and all sorts - thinking of flashing it as a last resort.
I seem to have fixed this now. I use quickboot and on a whim rather using my reboot shortcut I used power off. I then used the power button to start up with the rotation lock switched on - when I turned it off once booted it was back to normal. I suspect the rotation switch bit was a red herring - I reckon the shutdown/restart fixed it.
settngs>g sensor>games mode can cause some accelerometer antics try turning on and off
What does the gsensor mode do when activated, as I haven't seen any difference?

Hi,
Since I had my 8525 I have always had the comm button set to rotate the screen in landscape. I like to keep it like that and I haven't been able to figure out of to force the 8525 to staying in landscape at all times..so I just hit the button a lot.
A few minutes ago I completely reset my 8525 for the first time. I then changed the button to rotate the screen and it is now rotating it in the wrong direction.
It used to rotate the screen as if the keyboard was out, but now it is rotating the screen in the opposite direction.
Any idea why this happened or how to fix it?
Edit: I think I fixed it.
Have you checked the screen settings for the orientation setting?
typing seems to messed up lately buttons get get pressed makes ms feel like itisn't working correctly
anyone get the same issue ?
i have the same issue sometimes. it happens if the phone is very cold, if its connected to pc or mains charger or if the battery is 15% or below. i uninstalled the sensitivity tweak which helped a bit

It might be worth realigning the screen. Go to Settings/Menu/All Settings then select the System icon, and then 'Screen/Align Screen'
You will get the old Windows Mobile 'crosshair' alignment screen which was originally designed for stylus input, but using the normal part of your finger that you'd use for typing, just press over the crosshairs. This may or may not help!
I'm finding that typing is OK, provided I have "aligned" the screen.
However when switching from portrait to landscape alignment goes out of whack. Ok when reverted back to portrait. Also following a soft reset, or switching phone off, a re-alignment of screen is required.
Does the device store the alignment info, or is it reset after each reboot?
Also does device store an alignment profile for both portrait and landscape?
Anyone else notice this, and is there a fix?
Sometimes the on button doesn't work, this happens to me most of the times when i
locked rotation on landscape
holding the mobi portrait
reading text
screen turns off after timeout
try to turn it on in this position almost never works, this is odd
Turning it upright (shiny LG label below) and the on button turns the machine on properly, as expected.
Anybody recognizes the above? Is there a setting wrong somewhere?
I'm using d802 on latest snapshot, experienced this behavior quite consistently through the latest snapshots.
Hi there. I'm currently having an issue with my S7 edge where the lock screen won't turn off after some time. The screen does turn off when I'm using the phone normally from the main screen after some time passes but it's just the lock screen I have issues with.
Whenever I charge my phone or just hit the power button once to see notifications on the lock screen, it'll just stay like that until the same time the main screen timeout configured time passes (5 minutes) and this is getting annoying and somewhat draining a little bit more of my battery. Previously it was working fine and the lock screen would turn off after around 10 seconds or so.
Has anyone faced any similar issues with their phones? I haven't tried a factory reset yet but I'd want that to be a last resort.
Clear Background apps.
It happens when you left some games or apps by pressing home button but it keeps running. Hope they will fix this soon.
Have you tried pressing that little button on the right side of the phone? That usually helps.
Yeah...I already tried that with no luck. Even tried uninstalling some recent apps in case one of them was cause but it didn't work either. Any other suggestions?
The issue isn't with turning the phone screen off by pressing the power button, it's the lock screen itself not turning off after a few seconds when it usually does.
I'm having the same problem, had good lock installed thought that may have been the problem but after uninstalling that I'm still having the same problem with samsungs oem lock screen. I too would like an answer or fix for this. also to note, in developer options the stay awake is off and no apps running in the background.
I am having this problem now also. The screen will lock, but the display stays on but dimmed. I can tap the screen and it will get bright. Now I must click the side button every time I set my phone down or the screen will drain the battery.
I'm facing exactly the same issue. When the screen is locked, it stays on for the same time confirmed to when its unlocked. For example, 1 minute, instead of 10-15 seconds.
Any workaround discovered for this?
Did anyone find a solution to this problem?
I thought that I might've been the only one! This problem only appeared on my phone after the Nougat update, and it's extremely annoying as I rely on notifications waking the screen for my main messaging app.

Hello, I am having the same issue in my Redmi note 11 pro plus Phone. In my case The screen will lock but display stays on with dimmed light. Usually it is not visible during day, but in dark room its visible. And it stays the same way whole night. And battery is fully drained and phone is turned off. Is there a solution for this??
Hi,
I am after some help please, preferably without reinstalling all over again (root etc).
If i leave my phone to lock after a few minutes of inactivity, the screen stops responding but everything else works:
All hardware buttons work
AOD - works, I can press notifications and the app opens, or hardpress the bottom home button to get to the home screen, but the screen wont respond after.
Fingerprint scanner - works, it bypasses the lock screen but nothing responds
DEX - phone completely responsive via keyboard and mouse
Soft reset - everything works until it has no activity again.
Safe mode - exactly the same, so seems not to be app related.
Just the screen wont respond after passing AOD but phone otherwise functional. Not dropped, no water damage - all good there.
Anyone gone through similar?
Cheers
Good lock 2018 - lock star
Interesting - after spending nearly all day playing about and deciding to post, i remembered there was a lockstar update for me this morning. I disabled the lock screen i built and the phone has been find since. I'll un-install and re-install it, and re-test should someone else have a problem with it and follow up.
Reinstalling LockStar fixed the problem. Case closed.
