Screen won't turn off - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
Recently noticed this but i've set the screen timeout to 15 seconds (tried 30 seconds too) but unless i lock the phone with the physical button it won't turn the screen off.
Has anyone encountered this problem??
Smart stay is disabled
P.s. i thought i was posting this in the Q&A forum... but i didnt. Can some admin move it please?
Appreciated.

I use S2U2 and don't have this behaviour.
Sorry

i don't use S2U2 but it's happened to me a few times before. I reset the phone afterwards but every now and again it happens. No fix?
Hi
You may be able to resolve this by using advanced config and setting the "resuming timeout" values under the Power options to around 15 seconds.
What is probably happening is the phone wakes up in unattended mode (it still looks off) and it sends a start vibrate signal, however the phone then goes back to sleep before it has chance to send a vibrate stop signal.

Phil

Cannot turn to standby (screen off)

Hello all,
I have a problem with SGS1 (T-Mobile brand) of my colleague. It cannot turn into standby (screen off). After trying to go to standby it promtly turns display on. This is happening if I try to turn off screen by lock button or time delay pass. Can anybody help me with this please (without hard-reset)?
EDIT: No lock-screen apps etc. has been installed.
If you let the display timeout happen does the screen turn off properly then?
What ROM?

Official 2.3.3.
Now it is solved. It seems it was some sort of SW bug related to dryed battery which was very low when this starts happening. So after some minutes on charger is everything OK.

[Q] S4 lock screen: cannot swipe but can click on items

Hi everyone, first thanks to all the people who are willing to help others with their S4 problems!
I have Telus version of Galaxy S4 and it is basically untouched (i.e. no root no modifications).
I have had a problem with the lock screen for past couple of days and tried searching the forum but could not find any solutions.
The problem is this:
In lockscreen, I cannot swipe to unlock the device from time to time. No matter what I do, pressing power button to get to lock screen again, it just won't respond to my swipe motion to unlock the device. This forces me to hold the power button and then click on restart. For some reason it will responds to me clicking on restart but cannot read my swipe motions.
Does anyone else have any similar problems? If so, any thoughts on the solution?
The annoying thing is I cannot replicate the problem but it will happen once or twice a day.
Any thoughts are appreciated!

Screen Freeze

Hello, I am experiencing a new problem since the 2 last updates ( last one was 12.1-YOG4PAS3AJ ) as the screen freezes randomly. Mostly when receiving a call which is very annoying as you cannot answer. So I have to reboot the phone 3 to 4 times a day. I am now thinking about switching to ZUI as I use the phone as my daily driver.
Anyone experiencing a similar case?
i encounter this when you change adaptive brightness.
Ok thanks, I put it to automatic to see if the bug stops
Screen freeze
I just bought this phone yesterday and I also have same update and the screen goes off and comes on while taking calls and ending calls.
Any solution for this problem? I face this problem even when i turned off adaptive brightness
@Glops4 Do you find a solution for the problem?

I just did as you suggested, it is now working fine. I guess the bug still exists.
i have the same problem :'( ,, sometimes phone doesnt wake up from sleep , and sometimes after a call the touch stops working but buttons work .
Any solution or work around? Did you use any short key for long press of home/back button? I felt whenever i use lock screen as a option when i long press home/back button, i am hitting this issue. Please confirm @hwoarang626 & @Glops4.
I tried the long press home for screen off.. But i dont encounter tbe issue... I only get it some times after a call
My system details
Mine was doing the same thing, I am up to 12.1-YOG4PAS3OH, that update solved the problem.
Edit: hwoarang626 looks like you are still having the problem?
it happened 2wice then i enabled adaptive brightness and stopped using double tap 2 wake and it didnt happen again .
After last update I cant use fingerprints capasitive button as back button. I couldnt find any settings. Please help me. Thanks
I have left the buttons default, and do not use the 2 tap to wake screen.
The settings I use are Adaptative Brightness on and LiveDisplay off. Never had a screen freeze since.
And long press back button didn't help either.

Screen keeps turning off and on + sets brightness to 100

Hey guys,
i have a serious problem, which happens really often lately. like 10 times a day. The screen just turns off sometimes. The touch-functionality is still working. I can feel the fingersensor "unlock" the Zuk Z1, but the screen just stays off. Then i try to press all the buttons and sometimes the screen turns on again. But sometimes it just turns on after some seconds even though I didn't touch it at all.
First I thought that this is a hardware issue, maybe a loose contact. But recently a new problem showed up. The screen brightness just goes up to 100%. I turned off auto-brightness and move the slider. Nothing happens. Restarting always fixes it. But mostly after 1-60 seconds it goes back to normal.
Any ideas what might be the problem? Or what I could try?
I haven't rooted the phone and its the newest CyOS version.
Cheers, Oliver
Perhaps you are using the flipcover with magnetic auto switch off when you close the case?
