I would reflash the stock rom you have atm and data factory reset afterwards or try a data factory reset first and see if that fixes your issue.

Known bug. Supposedly fixed in recent firmware updates. More details in existing threads.
Or simply circumvent the issue entirely by upgrading to a good third party screen saver.
If you're ambitious, you could also try the following edit, which may help.
Make a backup first, then try editing build.prop
Code:
mot.proximity.delay=0
ro.lge.proximity.delay=25

I have added mot.proximity.delay=0 but i couldnt find ro.lge.proximity.delay=25. Is there any other way to fix this problem. I have to pull my battery out couple of times a day and its starting to get to me.

I have the same issue... do you still get this issue? For me, sometimes, the screen does not wake up only the capacitive keys... I have to press the power button again to turn it off and then press power again to turn it on.

me too
Hi,
I'm having the same problem.
It was intermittent for a short while and a battery pull would fix it, now it's permanent.
I get capacitive buttons, I can boot into recovery or download.
I can hear touches on the screen and the annoying at$t boot sound is back since I used Odin to reflash to stock.
I think I have to take this phone to a service center and see if they will exchange it.
I'm worried that there may be traces of towelroot but from the thread that provides stock firmware and instructions for Odin it would seem that I'm good.
Has anyone had any luck with this issue or have any other tips to try?
I'm bummed because I just applied a glass protector and it looks like I'll have to get another.
Not to mention having to drive to the center.
Thanks.

With the new 1.100 motherboard version the problem is solved. It's a hardware defect. Maybe it will be fixed in next fw versions with some voltage or timing setting changes but a mobo change will definitely solve it.

For the record:
The at$t service center reflashed my phone and the screen works again.
IDK why flashing stock with odin did not work for me.
I can see from the post above mine that the problem might come back, I'll insist on a replacement if it does.

still getting the issue but for me I just need to press power 3 times for it to wake up; no need to remove battery

Home button doesn't wake the Screen some times

hi guys..
Got my new phone at the launching day.. everything runs perfect..
But yesterday and today i encounter a small issue..
please note that i have fingerprint scanner lock on my phone..
when i pressed the home button just to wake the screen, the screen didn't respond.. only the side buttons lid..
the screen remained black after the second press too.. then i pressed the power button once and the screen woke..
the thing was that when i pressed the power button after this incident the home screen game me a third option, apart from emergency calls (left) and alternative password (right), Unlock via Google placed to the middle..
this happened also today twice..
Any suggestions on this ?? did anyone encounter this ??
please note that i didn't use any other locking method except fingerprint scanner and the home button responds fine in any other case.. Thanx..
I randomly get unresponsive touches when trying to open an app in the app drawer folders. Haven't had the home button issue though

I'm having the exact same problem. Very disappointing for a new device. Not sure if I'm going to return it yet. I've tried factory reset and it didn't fix it.
Guy in the shop said he'll have to send it back to Samsung for testing.
I've gone back to using my old phone !!!!!!

im having similar issues while on a call, i cant type in the extension, i touch the number pad and it does nothing. I turn off screen and now it doesnt want to turn back on. Like anything new, there will be a few hiccups, but samsung are usually fast for that first firmware push. I remember for the S4, i got it on launch day and the same day a new firmware was available, the note 3 took about 10 days before that initial firmware that fixed the few most obvious issues. Dont bring it back, just be patient.

hopefully it will get fixed.. if not we wait for an firmware update..
UPDATE
I used my phone all day using the settings above.. (no s-voice at home button and fingerprint lock) I encounter the problem 3-4 times.. other than that all is ok..
Now im going to use all day the pin to lock the screen and see what happens..

Hey man,
Had the same issue with my S5, I think the wait for the fix is easier to handle if you know there are other guys having the same issue rather than having something wrong with your specific device. So imho it'd be great if some other guys would reply just to know it's a common issue.
To me SGS5 is a great phone even with all the rants and reviews against buying it, there will be updates, we just need to be patient.
Thanks for the post!

I can confirm that i have similar issues too.
Sometimes (2-3 a day) the screen is not waking up from sleep state when i press the home or the power button.
The solution is that i need to press the power button to sleep the device and then press again or press the home button to wake up.
Not a big deal but i hope that this issue is not hardware related and a firmware fix will solve it.
Apart from this, it's really a great smartphone.
Hi,
Just a small update, the issue replicates also when using the Samsung S View case, just bought one and I still get the same behaviour as with the home and power button (i.e. only the softkeys light up, the screen doesn't wake up).
I haven't been able to consistently replicate though, but it seems to happen after long sleep periods.
All the best!

Hi !
One question.
Which ROM version do you have ?
The ...ANCE, or ANCF ?
thank you all for your replies.. its good to know that its not my device..
Hopefully with the new update they will fix it..
by the way yesterday i missed a call, do to that problem.. the phone was ringing but the screen was sleeping..
So i decided to chance my ROM, from EUR-Greece to NEE-Norther Countries.. Also did a hard factory reset after that.. Volume up + Power + Home.. Also deleted the cache partition..
I used odin.. No problems found.. and Kies recognizes the phone..
So i will check how this goes and get back to you..

I was just thinking that the G900FXXU1ANCF is maybe a little bit newer, as the build number is higher (1186806) So that's a different rom for sure.

[Q] phone does not wake up

Sometimes, when i try to wakeup my phone using home or power button, the capacitive keys light up but the screen is black.. I have to press power button to "sleep" and wake it up again... any idea? It was like this since I got it.... I updated recently and the problem still persists... it's not a big deal but a bit annoying at times.

It may be due to firmware bug or some installed app.
You didn't tell what rom you are using (stock or custom). And also check for installed apps that you suspect.

It's a hardware defect. Mine was like this too since 11th april. After changing the motherboard to the newer, 1.1100 version, the problem is competeley gone away. It's waking up every time correctly.
We had a topic about this earlier...
Hardware defect? Are you sure? I dont have a warranty. Bought it abroad. I was hoping it was just a software glitch. I am on stock unrooted

I'm totally sure because i had this bug from the beginning. I was trying all firmware updates, factory reset, etc. It's not related to the fingerprint sensor or any app installed or not.

Has anyone test this with older Android 5?
The "Weird" Screen in Low Brightness is AMOLED Burn-in due to intensive use, My S5 Have this problem too.
Try changing the HW overlay / Force GPU rendering in developer options, others have said that works for them, it seemed to for me also but only temporarily. I have had to stop using auto brightness.
Device not waking up is very irritating, even double tap the screen to wake has the same problem, doesn't seem to be the buttons themselves. If you have a custom rom or other way to set double pressing the power button to launch the camera it works as a workaround for me.
Thank you for all the answers guys.

Can't awake Samsung S5 after it gets asleep itself

Hi,
I'm sorry if it's a trivial question that has been asked million times before -- referring as an exact duplicate is also appreciated.
I have a Galaxy S5 device and I'm experiencing troubles with it with the following symptoms/scenario:
* The device works fine in general.
* The device screen gets totally black if the device turns the screen off after a certain period of time that's configured in Settings.
** The device seems to work though, and to react on awaking with the Power button. A: I assume it works behind the black screen because I can see the bottom buttons highlighted for a while. B: However, I'm not sure what happens if making screenshots the device using adb -- I haven't checked it yet.
** The device cannot reboot within a certain amount of time: up to 30 minutes (boot loop). When the period ends up, the device can boot again.
* If the device gets asleep after pressing the Power button, I can awake it and it works fine.
So, the general rule is to make sure that the device does not gets asleep itself and does not get into "coma".
The workarounds I could find so far:
* Install an app that merely does not let the device sleep so the screen is constantly turned on.
* Increase the sleep timeout up a reasonable amount of time (say, 10 minutes) and not forget to press the Power button within this period.
The question is: why does it happen and how do I resolve this issue? I mean: why does screen not get turned on when I try to awake it after it gets asleep itself?
Android 6, the stock firmware, no root.
Thank you in advance!

Thank you for the feedback. No, never: the scenario I described in the question can happen even after re-flashing a stock firmware (Android 5 or 6 --- the version does not really matter).

Yes, it works when I turn off the screen with power button myself. I can turn on it later even after a long period of time.
But when the screen is off by Android itself (I mean after an inactivity period), then, when I try to turn it on, the device seems to work and even react the screen taps (I guess since I haven't check it with `adb shell screencap` yet). The only difference is that the screen is off in such case, so I can't see anything.

Maybe you should try to flash a different firmware from sammobile.
Don't forget to wipe everything, including system of course.
Maybe cleaning your sdcard as well (but I don't know why it should interfere).
Is your problem recent, I mean only existing after your last firmware flash?

I tried to flash another firmwares a few times, but if the device was fine with them, then the describe issue persisted, so it made me think that I was using wrong firmwares. It's hard to say if I have a wrong one now, but it works except of that issue...
fgth90 said:

No, it's not recent per se: I had a well-working device with stock firmware for very long period, and suddenly got a reboot and forever bootloop. Flashing a new firmware was the only way I could resurrect it more or less. But now the only issue I see is that the device falls into "coma" if I don't press the Power button. Well, it makes me think that something prevents the screen from turning on, and I believe it must be a software issue. ... Or not -- I can't tell, this is where my knowledge is running out.

If I understood you correctly, then it's installed on the device according to the information is posted above. The same happened before I applied the update too, so probably this update doesn't change anything for that.

What you can try is a 3rd app to screen off your screen when you put your phone at horizontaly position and screen on with gestures.
I pm you a link for it.
It won't resolve your problem but can screen your phone off before the delay on settings.
Wait a little then try, then report.
Good luck

Great! Thank you very much! I never had an idea of another way of making the screen off except of "let Android do it" or "let me do it myself" -- a 3rd-party app is to the rescue! That's a brilliant suggestion to work around the issue since it made my eyes got open for totally another solutions. And let Android to be the last one in that screen off queue! Thank you!!

Absolutely, but I'm still impressed by the alternative you suggested. Thanks again.

			
				
It can be a Hardware problem, If updated to Latest firmware in correct region, And not worked, Is The Hardware causing this.

After the New Update Exynos Model (BUGS)

Hello Guys,
I am from India, I got the latest update attached screenshot.
I am facing few issues:-
The phone has become laggy in some departments such as:
1. The fingerprint mark stays on the screen after the screen unlocks.
2. Even after pressing the power button screen doesn't lock. The screen does black out but when I double tab on the screen it directly takes me to the home screen without showing the lockscree first. I am not using Google trusted location or devices to unlock without taking my fingerprint or face recognition.
3. When I try to dial a number it doesn't call at a single go, after pressing multiple times it calls the person whom I am trying to call. It looks very choppy as if the system responding to my commands little later.
4. Whenever I am trying to take the screenshot it doesn't take at a single go, after pressing multiple times the system recognises I am trying to take the screenshot and respond little later.
All the apps are working fine without any lags but the above said things are bothering me a lot.
I hope someone from XDA can assist me with this.
P.S.: I have tried to clear the cache from the boot screen. Also did a test on graphics from the same menu.

Thanks for your reply! I hope somebody facing similar problems has overcome and provide suggestions.
But Sammobile blog has also confirmed these issues.
II havent faced any of these issues post update.
Did you try doing a factory reset? If not, try the same if its not too much of an issue for you.
I have the same but I updated today over mobile data.
Came home and it started to behave like described above.
So I figured it is something with the updated WiFi drivers.
Switched off Wi-Fi and all seems fine now.

No I didn't do factory reset as I have checked from other forums that factory reset is not helping, the new update is broken.

Yes this trick is working.

Also one more question I don't know if it's my phone or everyone is facing this issue. Whenever I switch on VoLTE calls (Screenshot Attached) my phone temperature increases and battery drains.

So, you're saying only the ppl that took the OTA are facing the issues? In that case i will probably try that then if the bug returns for me.
For now after switching WiFi On/Off for me it is gone.
Seen reports that plugging in the charger does the same.
Weird stuff indeed.
Also now i see a fellow Dutch, you by any change using Rabobank stuff (Wallet/App) with tripped KNOX and have no problems with it?

No, its possible that some users who do flash a rom with Odin could face some issues too but i personally don`t. I`am using the ABN bank app and i haven`t rooted for a long time now. I used to do it because of theming and getting updates/upgrades but nowadays i personaly don`t see a reason anymore to root anymore. So i can`t help you with your question.
I happened to flash "ASE5" build two ways :
1. First using ODIN 2 days back . Did a factory reset ,erased cache in recovery, reinstalled all apps & after setting them up:-
issues faced -> None.
2. Went back to previous "ASD5" build, downloaded the "ASE5 OTA" update and installed. Did a factory reset, erased cache in recovery, reinstalled all apps & after setting them up:-
issues faced so far -> None.
*One glitch I'm noticing from the beginning with "ASE5" :
When I click on my apps & games(playstore app>drop down menu on the left), it freezes for a split second while it takes into the main page. With all my effort, I could not fix it. (App cache cleaning only temporarily fixes this).

A split second delay bothers you? What apps are running in the background? Do you have the FaceBook app installed? How did you set your animations?

No it does not "bother"but is a step back in smoothness if that counts. It's a "difference" that I noticed since I was testing both builds back and forth for a comparison. Rest be assured that it's not related to apps installed and animations set.

Erase playstore cache and you won't even notice it for a while only to re-appear after sometime.
"Less noticiable" and "very much noticiable" in my usage in 1x & .5x respectively. In ASD5 build, this transition slips like a soap.
