So if I get a text, my screen lights up and does not go out lol. It will stay on all night, I've woken up to a dead battery because of it. I have it set on 30 seconds so I have no idea why it does this. If I miss a call it does it too. It does not do it for emails though. Does anyone else have this or know how to fix?
thanks

You can either check the Puzzle Lock option, or use a pattern to unlock the screen. I don't know if any other lockscreen apps have the same issue or not, but both of those things (either one, you don't have to do both) worked for me.
I personally use SMS Popup and disable notifications via the stock app. I've never experienced what you are seeing.
Seems like you two should talk.

mine does exactly the same...the battery drains lighting fast coz of it...
any solutions ?
EDIT: seems i found a temporary solution by enabling Puzzle lock in the Sound and display options
To fix this glitch, simply turn ON the 'Slide Puzzle Piece' feature in settings.
By the way OP, you's a cutie
Hey guys, thanks. I don't prefer the puzzle lock but if it's the only work around for the glitch then im cool with that. I just enabled puzzle lock so I think that should do it.
Thanks a million
Hi guys just wondering if you noticed this strange behaviour.
I noticed a quite frustrating delay after a call when i take the phone away from my ear, it takes 2-3 sec for the screen to turn back on.
Has anybody experienced the same?
Do you know if there is a solution for this?

yes, think its normal. looks like the same delay when pushing power button for screen on.

Thank you.
That seems strange as it is something really basic that you expect to work in a phone of this price range. Moreover it's something you come across quite often.
Do you know if the latest firmware improves this?

You can just turn off the sensor in the call app, if you want your screen to be available just after a call.. I don't see the problem.. but my delay is also just around a second or so.

But if I do that i will drain battery unnecessarily. I don't know you guys but I find it really annoying having to wait 2sec after a call for the screen to wake up. I want to be able to hang up immediately i think I'm not asking something ridiculous.

you can also set the power button to terminate the call and you will not have to wait for the screen to turn on...
Reading the data from an analogue sensor (such as the proximity one) is always tricky... You need time to level out the values coming back from it, then determine that, over a period of time, the distance is suitable to enable the screen.
Only then can it be turned on etc

How do you go about doing this? Can it be changed in the setting sor does it require a separate App?

Pls go to settings then call then calls answering ending and tick power key ends calls
Yes i find this very annoying too!
Especially when on a call center, press 2 (wait for screen) then press 4 (wait for screen) you get the idea
this is actually the only problem i have with the SGS2 since ke7

sgs 1 managed it fine though?....or am i missing something
Yeh my i8000 had no delay with the proximity censor.
But the screen delay seems to be everywhere. Turning on from sleep, time to adjust to ambient light and obviously the proximity sensor after pulling it away from your face.
Its not a major drama for me but I agree that it would be good to not have the delay.
I just noticed that when I use Skype the sensor works really well, meaning there is almost no lag.
I'm confused..

Yes! Very annoying.
Yep! I was commenting on this the other day. To be honest, I make and receive very few calls from my phone but when i do, I feel the rage rising inside me everytime because of the sensor delay.
It's the small things that annoy you the most.
As mentioned, you can opt to have the power button hang up the phone. It also does not turn the screen off, so you can continue working on the phone.
This is actually under accessibility settings, not call settings.
Menu -> Settings -> Accessibility -> Cancel the prompt -> Tick 'The power key ends calls'.
I also find the lag on waking up very annoying. Even once the screen has woken up, it takes a second for the touch input to be recognised so the pattern unlock only registers my last two or three inputs depending on how quickly I start swiping. I have to enter the pattern again. Very annoying.

I also have this problem, although I'd estimate it only takes about 1-1.5 seconds for the screen to come on.
I do however not think that this is a sensor problem, but rather a software problem.
Type *#0*# in the dialer, and press Sensor.
The phone will now vibrate once you trigger the proximity sensor. And it seems to be very fast and responsive here.
i have the problem using Skype...when i start a call it turns automatically the screen off ! i need then to push on home button to get out of skype...very ennoying...
last time i made an order online, my bank sent me a code by phone and following the instruction, the voice asked me to push the number i hear...i simply could not !! the screen was completely off ! and i could not succefully purchase online, my order was cancelled !.....due to this problem of screen..i think it is seriously ennoying and must be fixed in an update firm or something .
Agreed, this is a very annoying and unnecessary delay. Especially coming from an iPhone, where the screen turns on instantaneously when removed from the ear.
Hoping for a fix.
im ready to pay to get this fixed
I'm not sure if I'm describing this correctly in the title so let me try and elaborate -
I've used probably 10-15 different ROMs for my Nexus 10 and lately every single one I try, I have the same issue when I have the screen titled down horizontally towards me while reading in bed ( think holding it up while lying on my back, angled down at me so I can read ), where the screen blacks out/goes to sleep.
Then I have to tilt it back so it's vertical again and sometimes it puts me at the lock screen but more often I have to hit the power button to get the lock screen back, infuriatingly I then sometimes get stuck in a loop of hitting power to get to lock screen as it's going back to lock screen so then it kills the display again so then I have to hit power again etc etc. Once the screen is back and displaying everything is fine until some random amount of time ( between 5 seconds & 5 minutes ) when the screen just goes black again - presumably when I move/adjust my position or the angle of the screen.
Anyway - I believe this is version independent, I don't think it's the ROMs, it's like it's something built-in to the OS.
The only thing I can figure is it's either related to the accelerometer detecting that I'm tilting the tablet horizontally so the screen is facing down and thus it is killing the display, OR it's the light sensor detecting a darkening of the light since I would be angling the screen away from a direct light source and so it kills the screen thinking I'm placing it face down on a table.
Possibly related - I've also noticed since 4.2.2 ( maybe coincidence ) that I can't rotate my screen 180 degrees and be able to unlock the device. No matter what, if I flip that sucker around it instantly kills the display and locks the screen. I've got auto-rotate on, so I know that's not the issue, and if I hit the power button to get the lock screen up, then unlock it INSTANTLY locks again and kills the screen. It's like there's a setting now that says I CAN rotate if I want to but there's no point because I can't actually unlock the screen to do anything. Keep in mind this ONLY happens when flipping it 180 - if it do it 90 or 270 and have it vertical there is no issue, it is literally only when it is flipped 180 that this occurs.
Am I over thinking this or is there something really, really obvious I'm missing? I've gone over every setting I can think of and the only thing remotely screen related is the sleep timer but it doesn't matter how long I make it or if I even turn it off entirely - every time I get into bed to read I have to mash the power button to get the screen going again. It's minor in the grand scheme of things but it is incredibly frustrating when all I want to do is read before going to sleep, just stay open damn it !
I hate to shameless bump this but does anyone know what I'm talking about? If I tilt my N10 past a certain degree ( I want to say it's around 30 degrees or so ) the screen just goes to sleep, how do I stop this? I've used a ton of different ROMs so it seems to be something consistent and/or a fundamental "feature" of JellyBean and/or Android in general.

If nothing else, I would say it rather "seems" to be a hardware issue, because I've never seen this behavior on my own device. That said, I can't say I've heard of many people talking about this either.

Thanks for replying! Good point - I've just assumed it wasn't something specific to MY N10 because I can't imagine why it would happen from a hardware perspective since it's never been damaged ( dropped, scuffed ) in any way. Unless I just got a bad egg with a faulty accelerometer or light sensor or something, which is also possible.
I suppose if no one else is experiencing this and it's isolated to me and is ROM independent than it must be hardware. Either that or when I'm laying in bed I generate large bursts of electromagnetic activity that cause it to think I've closed the "smart" cover. :cyclops:
Screen Timeout
I don't know if any of this matters, but I am just curious.
What is your Screen Timeout setting? Have you tried increasing this? Do you have it set to lock screen upon pressing the power button? Have you tried changing it? Do you use a pattern lock, pin code, other?

My screen timeout is set to 10 minutes, though it doesn't seem to matter what I set it to - I just set it to 30 and the same thing happens after a second of tilting it.
I have screen lock via slide, but while I do lock/kill the screen via pressing the power button I just realized I've never actually set it to do this. I guess I thought it was a built-in feature - I've just gone through all the settings I have ( currently using FlamingMonkey AOSP ROM for reference ) and I don't see any option anywhere to enable/disable this feature. :S
Maybe there is an issue with my power button and when I tilt the tablet it jiggles it enough that it "presses" down and locks?
Use ultimate rotation control from store and force the lockscreen to landscape at all times.

I think that you are on the right track. The option to lock the screen on hitting the power button is under the Security settings for stock android. It should be there for your ROM too.
I constantly hit my power button when sitting it down or picking it up. That is why I disable the instant lock option.
I have a crack in my screen which seems to make the phone's sensor think it's constantly pressed against my ear, thus not allowing me to use the keypad during calls, switch apps during calls, and on incoming calls, not even hang up.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any way to disable the automatic screen shutoff so I can get around this. I am using CyanogenMod 10.2 on a rooted Sprint galaxy s4, but have had the same problem with the derrick Samsung os.
Thank you, and if I'm posting this in the wrong place, apologies and please let me know where it belongs!

The screen off during calls is controlled by 1 of the top sensors, not by screen touch...Maybe there is damage to or on the surface area above the sensor...

I know you're on CM but here's how it's done in stock, you can toggle the "Turn off screen during calls" when you bring up the dial pad and hit menu then call settings.
Unselecting that item keeps the screen on as it won't use the proximity settings (like when you put it to your ear) to turn off the screen...which is essentially what you've already described that you think is occurring with the crack in your screen...
hope that helps.

Never noticed that, thanks! I wasn't able to find something similar in my OS. I love CM, but I might have to switch back to stock for this.
Btw I also noticed it's accessible through settings > my device > call in stock.
Anyhow, instead of moving from CM, have you tried something like this app to turn off the sensor in calls https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.itsme4ucz.screenoff
or tried to use the Tasker app to toggle it off? might be worth a shot.
EDIT:
There was a mod for this, so you're likely to find something around that will coincide with what your running on yours - see this: http://www.modaco.com/topic/362514-mod-disable-proximity-sensor-cm101-based-roms-only/
also have you seen this thread on issues with this in CM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2409698 ?
AND the other option is to try blowing air in might help, just in case it isn't related to your screen crack....see also: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...edition/311795-s4-proximity-sensor-issue.html
(Proximaty sensor repairs/reset ) app in Google play fix the problem
I notice this while trying to put it on my desk or one hand typing texts, it seems the auto rotate sensitivity is too high. Does anyone else have this issue? Is there some way to "turn it down" so you can turn the phone more before it auto rotates? I know I can turn it off, but I use it in Chrome and YouTube and probably couple more apps.
Thanks!

No issues here with it , guess you could set to landscape / portrait manually , few apps can do it in the play store

I've considered manually doing it, guess just being lazy. It just wants to rotate way too soon for me, it may be my posture or something causing it. Not a bad idea, maybe I can find a widget to easy swap manually.
I've noticed it too. Although I'll take that over too much lag in it rotating when I want

No doubt about that!! For me it's right on the cusp of no issues. May just need to hold the phone slightly different to correct it.
I saw Xposed was released for 6.0. Does anyone know of anything for it that would allow this sort of adjustment?

I thought Android 6.0.1 will solve it... But it didn't
Is this a hardware issue? I think not. Sensors data look fine. So I do think it is a software issue. Hoping Google will sort this out

Yeah, I think so, too. I turned off autorotation. I found I like the experience better.
I too find it too sensitive. I used Tasker to limit the rotating on all except a few apps on my last phone but I haven't done it on this phone. You just made me think of it. I can't say yet that it will work. Worth a try.
I do not want to manually set the rotation every time I want to watch a video or a picture I just taken. This is silly.
The auto rotation works great on iphones & on previous Nexus devices. The experience is important.
If only there was an app that can bias the tilt sensitivity like there are apps for brightness sensitivity

Thanks for this, I added a comment in it and voted as well. I turn the screen rotation off when needed (like for Chrome use). Always forget to turn it back on till it rotates without wanting it too.
here is a quick video I did to illustrate the issue:

I'm gonna start a thread in Help/Q&A and post a reddit article I found that solved the issue for me. Using the device with one hand it would always rotate when I reached for the far corner and was bugging the hell out of me... The solution involves Tasker.
