So the problem is on SOME OCCASION,
the phone doesnt automatically sleep given i set the sleep time to 30 sec, which causes major drainage in my battery life. I use go SMS, and i turned on the msg pop up, it would turn on my screen but wouldnt turn off after the 30 sec. Or let say after i read a email but left it on the table as i assume it will turn off automatically after a given amount of time, it would remain on. So im not sure what's causing it any solution?

My hd2 is giving me problems with the battery draining so quickly even when connected via usb and tethered...I noticed that even if i hit the end call button or use a power control app for "screen off" or "standby" within a minute or two the screen is back on.
Before anyone asks activesync is set to update every 4 hours and weather/stock etc is set for 30 minutes to an hour but I still don't think these should make the screen turn back on...I'm at the point I'm about ready to write a mortscript which will run the screen off command every 30 seconds so my phone can recharge the battery.
The same problem has occured with 2 different roms (6.5.x)....kumar's and the 05/13 elegancia rom.
Any ideas? It's worse when carrying phone because it's turning on in the holster on my belt and battery is draining like crazy.
i'm sorry if this is noob, but i've recently taken into increasing the epic's battery. i'm trying to use wifi more and i'm doing the sleep policy never thing. but i don't think i get push emails anymore when the phone is locked (screen shut off). This is normal right? that wifi turns off when the screen is off, even with the sleep policy off? I'm kinda a freak about the push email - i like having it instantly. Thanks.
I leave wifi on 100% of the time with it set to never sleep and still get email notifications. I hear them start to come in every morning before I get out of bed.
Last night I was reading a PDF with EzyPDF, I pressed the power button to put the tablet to sleep and put it on charge.
The next morning I put the tablet in my bag and went to work. 11 Hours later I went to use the tablet for the first time that day and the screen was powered on at the lock screen. I unlocked it and noticed the battery was down to 22% and the display and been on for 8 hours.
I realised that EzyPDF was set to stop the tablet from sleeping, but it's stupid that even though the device is on the lock screen it still doesn't go to sleep if the last app open is set to stop the screen from sleeping. Well actually it would be fine if this stupid device didn't keep turning the screen on at random while on standby. Is there any way to stop this? None of the custom roms seem to fix the issue either, I'm beginning to think it's a hardware fault. I think I have to be extra careful and make sure I am sitting at the home screen before putting the device to sleep in future.
Hi,
The screen on my Nexus 4 has started to stay awake. I've noticed my battery drain a lot quicker over the last couple of days and I also noticed that every time I pulled my phone out the screen was lit so I've taken it out and watched it. It just stays awake all the time. If I turn the screen off the minute a message or anything comes in the screen wakes and stays awake so near impossible to keep it off for any length of time.
I do have the developer screen enabled and had stay awake whilst charging option enabled. I disabled that to make sure that this wasn't causing the screen to stay awake thinking it was somehow on the charger when it wasn't however the problem persists even with that option unchecked.
I have the screen timeout in display set to 30 secs.
Anybody else experiencing this or no how to solve?
The phone is stock and unrooted though I plan on rooting later today.

Does it stay awake but go very dim? I have this issue too.
can it be caused by the screen protector blocking the light sensor somehow?
Can you install BBS (BetterBatteryStats) and see what's keeping your phone awake?
Sounds like a FULL_WAKE_LOCK is constantly being imposed on your phone.
Questions
Is it only when you put it for 30s?
What's around your pocket when you put your phone in it?
Do you have any attachments onto your phone? e.g. skin protectors, cases...etc
Does this occur on any screen or just your home screen and the developer options screen?
Though some questions may be obvious, the best method is to be thorough with the situation. Answering these questions will help us better help you.
My phone shut itself down about an hour ago (plenty of battery left as I had to charge it earlier and was at 50% when it did come back on). It took several minutes before it would respond to getting turned back on again. I've got 2 messages since and the screen is now tuning off as it should. I had turned the phone off a few times to see if it rectified yesterday however that didn't work.
The problems wasn't anything to do with me having it in my pocket as the problem still existed when I had it sitting on my desk. I have no screen protectors or case and I never put it in any pocket that has anything else in it as I don't want to ruin too quickly.
So not sure what's going. All seems very odd. Hopefully not a sign that the phone is on the way out but looks ok for now. Will have to watch and see what happens over the next few days.
Thanks to all who took the time to respond. Hopefully I won't need to bother you again on this issue but not convinced just yet
All,
I've got a stock Nexus 6P, Android 6.0.1, build MHC19Q.
Sometimes the phone will go to sleep and sometimes it won't. In the settings, Display Sleep setting I have 30 seconds as the value, but I've seen my phone stay on for way longer, sometimes until I hit the power button.
I've tried several changes to the time but it doesn't seem to help the times it stays on, it just changes the time for the sleep when it does work.
To explain exactly, when I stop using my phone and I'm on the home screen, if I leave the phone alone for several minutes, it will not sleep, no matter what value I put in the setting. Other times it seems to sleep without a problem.
I've not been able to determine if some app is holding it awake, and I don't see any pattern the would point to any other condition that keeps the phone awake.
I looking for additional ideas to troubleshoot the problem, it just stays on and runs down the battery.
Ideas?

Download and install GSAM. It will tell you specifically which app is keeping the screen on.
If it days Android, System, or Media Playback is the highest, it may be a tweak / custom rom / kernel issue.
