I have noticed that my x2a goes out of standby when I am putting it into its case (on my belt). This causes the display to turn on again -- wasting battery time and possibly starting programs.
Has anyone else noticed this? I find that if I hold the phone for an additional 3 seconds befor I place it into the case, going out of standby does not appear to happen ... but that could be just operator error ... and I have tried to avoid hitting any of the buttons when inserting the phone, but the whole thing could be operator error ... or, like I think, that the phone is sensing a position change and jumping out of standby ...
Is there a fix for this?
I thought I'm the only one experiencing that problem.. The thing is, my phone is just on the table and in standby mode and then for some reason it just opens... Very weird..
Sometimes it happens to me too. i don't know why it happens.

Just a far shot:
Are you guys by any chance using the OneBridge syncronisation software?
I had this problem but it disappeared when my company switched to Activesynch/WMA for Exchange syncronisation.
i noticed my phone was doing this to, so i set it down and watch it for a while and noticed the screen will turn on when it is updating my weather or email, so this may happen when ever it automatically connects (due to some email, weather, ect.) you can try turning off data connection, and see if that changes anything. good luck

mine was off all along... so I guess it doesn't update anything when this happens...
sorry that didn't work, i'm just thinking out loud now, but my phone has recently stopped turning the screen on by itself. uhm things i've downloaded recently was the SDfix.cab and the htcSDK.cab but both of those wouldn't effect it. uhmmm. is there possibly something running in the background? the only other thing i can think of is lock your phone so you won't push button while its in your pocket, and wait for an update (which an update is unlikely to come out). sorry i couldn't help

It's okay dude, I did what you said.. I locked my phone whenever I have to put it in standby mode, and great... It doesn't turn on by itself.. so I'm guessing that I pushed some buttons while the phone is in my pocket...
cheers mate!
It's the magnet!
I know the question was asked a while ago, but noone has posted this as a possible reason.
There is a magnetic sensor for opening the keyboard in the top left corner of the device. When you move your phone near a magnet (most phone cases' covers are held by magnets) it will detect opening the keyboard and go out of standby.

I just tried that, and it does some out of standby when I pull it out of the case ... I was wondering why that happened -- sometimes, and not others -- and that answers the issue of pulling it out of the case ...
Thanks for that explaination ...
But there are other times when it goes out by itself ... but I have it is the case most of the time now, and not on the charger ... so it is not really an issue for me anymore, but it is another mistery solved ...
Yup, my X2 does the same annoying thing.
I agree, best way is to lock the screen.
I noticed that the screen part of the phone is kinda wiggly...
I can't seem to pinpoint any sort of pattern but from time to time my phone will just be on even after I have put it to sleep and put it in my pocket. Obviously my concern here is it's wasting the battery without me even using it. Anyone experiencing similar problems, or have any suggestions?
*edit* I managed to post this in the wrong forum I meant to post in General can someone move it?
Same thing i would keep my phone on the table and it turns on randomly..
You wouldn't happen to be running Handcent SMS would you?
I have this problem when I am charging it, I will come back to find that my screen is on.

In the settings - applications - development is the stay awake button checked? If so that may fix your problem, mine however does the same and it is not checked so.
I am aiming towards Handcent SMS being the culprit I just need to test a few things.
Still leaning towards Handcent SMS. Anyone with the problem running the fingerprint recognition, wondering if that may be affecting it also?
Looks like Handcent was causing my issue at this time. To fix you go into Hancent settings - notifications - popup settings - uncheck Screen on for popup. Will report back if I find out another app is causing same problem.
The issue is when i turn the screen off, lets say the time is 2:00PM and i check for notification at 2:20PM. What happens is as soon as the screen turns on the time jumps from 2:00 -> 2:20 PM , shouldn't this be done as a background process so that we shouldn't even see the time jump?
Anyone else facing this issue and any workarounds/fixes?
Thanks

Hi,
Does it always jump to the correct time?
I have seen this on different ROMS on other phones.

Pretty old. Used to happen on my S2 too.
i guess it is an intent that gets activated upon waking of the phone (by turning on the screen)... when you do that, it updates the screen and thats why.
but then again... that is only what i think.. if it should update it while the screen is turned off it would be an active process and use battery
Does it on mine too but only the clock on the main lock screen, the time on the top bar seems to be correct.

Yes it always jump to the correct & exact time....it seems like a battery saving feature...if it is, other people with S4 should also experience it,no?

For me i have a pattern Lock with time...so the moment i turn it on this is done on the lock screen clock...and yes the timer on the top bar seems to be correct(as in no jump).

Hi,
I ,too, have the pattern lock screen.
But I have the Lightning Launcher.
So, there is no lag or delay on mine.
Maybe ,try a different launcher and see.

oh...will do
New to XDA. Hello all!
I am experiencing this clock lag as well. :/
It doesn't matter if I use a custom lock screen or the Samsung lock screen with "swipe to unlock".
It's easily reproducible, let phone sit for 10-15 min and if you press the unlock button you'll see the wrong time for anywhere from a fraction of a second to a few seconds! and then it will update to correct time. Super annoying if I just want to know the time. Also, I've found that the amount the clock is behind is proportionate to the amount of time the phone as been idle....to a point...
I've seen the clock be over an hour off but it doesn't drift much more than than. Like a few folks mentioned, this should be running in the back ground. What is confusing to me is the clock in the top right is correct, so the phone is monitoring the clock...it's just not updating the lock screen clock.
Hopefully we can find a work around.
Not too keen on a new launcher...at least not until others who have seen that lag switch over and confirm it as a fix...but I don't think it will help, because the lock screen is still a Samsung process not controller by the launcher (i don't think)
Any thoughts?
The clock on the main unlock screen is essentially a widget. As a power saving feature, it only updates as necessary, which would be when you turn your phone on to look at the time. The time at the top of the screen in the notification bar is not a widget, it is a built in process that is always active. That is why it is current and the large clock, "the widget", is off until you turn your phone on to look at it.
My phone does the same thing. As does pretty much everyone's. It is not anything wrong with your phone, it is just the way it is set up. It is usually only delayed by a second or two, at best.
If it is an issue, you can always just remove the widget and use the time at the top of the screen to check. Or try a different app and set the update frequency.
It's not that big of a deal to me, I know it's always off until it refreshes, so I just give it a second to update.
I cannot find a solution for this but the issue is when I miss a phone call when the phone is in my pocket, it automatically unlocks, and drains my battery.
I'm running 4.4.2 rooted on my AT&T Moto X, and I thought 4.4.2 would fix it. I do not have a screen lock
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Hmm sounds like a strange issue...
You mean you don't have a screen pin/code/password, or that you don't have even the sliding unlock button?
Have a look in Settings > Display
What timeout do you have listed under sleep? The default is 30seconds, but it goes all the way up to 30min (which I would expect could definitely drain some battery...
Let us know and we may be able to help you further...

I do not have a password lock on my phone, Just the active display slide to unlock the phone. When a call comes in, I get the display to answer or ignore, but if I leave it go, it will just unlock to the home screen, then after a short time, the screen will shut off.
Thanks!

Ok, that is definitely not normal. Are you BL unlocked, or are you using the Pie root exploit? Or Safestrap?
I would suggest flashing the entire 4.4.2 AT&T SBF file using the manual method as described in the Return to Stock thread:
DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU ARE USING SAFESTRAP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515
You will download the 4.4.2 AT&T SBF file from here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
As I seem to be telling people often, the only way to fix a corrupted filesystem (OR modifications made by previous exploits like Pwn/SlapMyMoto and MotoWpNoMo) is to flash the entire SBF file. Performing a "factory reset" cannot repair a damaged filesystem.
Often, it will fix ALL of your problems.
Good Luck
Did you install any apps, that plays with those settings after rooting?
thanks for the replies guys...I don't think so on the apps after root. IIRC, it did this before rooting the phone, so I thought it was a 4.4 issue.
it will unlock to the home page after every call, unless I answer, or ignore the call.
I'm using Xposed with these modules:
App Settings
GravityBox
HideCarrierMotoX
MinMinGuard
SoftkeysFadeMod
Twisty Switch
Xblast Tools
XPrivacy.
Again, I do not have a lock screen..when I try to enable one it does something funky with my electronic buttons, even after reboot. Not sure if it's because of SoftKeysFadeMod, or what..
I'm surprised others have not had this issue.
Thanks for you help.

May I ask if I understand correctly? You have no security setting, only active display enabled. If this is the case, this seems like normal behavior.
You screen turns on when you get a call, you don't answer. Until the screen time out kicks in, you see your home screen.
Once it goes dark, you should have an active display notification.
What Am i missing or what behavior are you expecting?

you pretty much hit it on the head...I was hoping the phone's display would not unlock to my desktop if I miss a call, but rather show the missed call on the active display.
I'm going to enable a security setting, and see if this changes the outcome.
Thanks
After enabling the swipe to unlock, I no longer have an issue with my phone unlocking when I miss a call. That seems to be the solution.
Thanks for your help
I tried searching if this happens to anybody else, but couldn't find it. Since I updated to lollipop (I put original polish rom first via odin) whenever my auto brightness is turned on, when I wake the phone using home key or power button, my screen turns on with full brightness for a half second or something like that, and than goes back to normal.... I thought it was a bug on polish ROM, so I flashed austrian rom, but no improvement. Now I have custom TW rom, and it is still the same. When I turn auto brightness off, it doesn't happen. So I suspect it to be that screen turns before the light sensor on unlock, and it is set to full brightness always. is there some file I can edit, so screen starts at lowest brightness or delay screen start for half a second so the sensor can start first.
It is killing me when I get a message while sleeping in a dark room, and I want to check it, it blinds me so I wake up, and can't go back to sleep later!!!
LOL I have the same problem, which is extremely irritating to say the least, but I had no idea that it had to do with auto brightness! I am on latest AryaMod, which is stock TW based ROM, so I guess its a problem of all the TW releases?
Don't know! I will ask this in AryaMod topic and see whether dev will be more than kind to provide us a solution. Thanks for creating the topic, I had thought about it a lot of times, but was never intrigued enough.
