Have anyone noticed that the phone wakes up at midnight?
The backlight goes on even if the phone was in stand by....?
What is a Vampire-Phone?

Does anyone know why???

yes i have seen this on my phone. it would drain my battery when i wake up in the morning, (I didn't set the power settings to let it go to sleep).
I cannot say if it is fixed because right now I have the power settings to put it to sleep in 1 minute if nothing's happening, I have also hard resetted my phone since then. but I blieve it was some third party application I installed before.

So Does that mean you don't have the problem anymore?

Easy there, pureheart. I didn;t have anything to do with it. I just bought one.

I believe it's the appointments updating at midnight.
Ever since I upgraded to Froyo, when I try to put my phone to sleep the screen turns back on. This has been happening since the first Froyo leak(DL30).
Has this been happening to anyone else and does anyone know how to fix it?

Check wifi and gps settings...there are reports of those turning the screen on...
What in the gps and wifi settings would be causing this issue?

When searching for wifi/gps lock it turns the screen on...
It is still doing that even when both wifi and gps are off. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

My friend just got a G2 and is having this issue as well. I use a pattern unlock and am running Clean Rom. Some times when I try to unlock the screen it just randomly shuts the screen off while Im trying to draw the unlock pattern. I'm hoping someone has a solution for this.
Thanks

When I use the power button on the back of the phone instead of the knock-on, I had this same problem. I was rooted but on stock rom. I've read other posts about the same problem. I would try to put in my pattern and midway through the screen turns off. Sometimes it would be two seconds, sometimes like 10. Don't know what the problem was.
My knock-on feature was barely working. Some guy recommended getting this case: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FEQU1NG/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I needed one anyway so I got it. Haven't had an issue with the knock-on feature anymore. No idea why haha but whatever, it works. Kind of a ghetto workaround.
I'm having the exact same issue.
Factory reset several times, installing my usual apps or having just the default apps without updating them didn't make any difference.
After a factory reset I disabled the knock knock feature and still, when I try to bring my screen up and unlock, it immediately shuts off, preventing me from swiping.
Another side effect is, when I make a phone call, the screen immediately goes blank and it will never turn back on unless I restart by holding on to the power button, this is especially inconvenient when I need to dial some options (i.e.) voice mail options, corporate automated options.
All of the above happened while I had my Incipio feather shine case. (incipio.com/cases/smartphone-cases/lg-smartphone-cases/lg-g2-cases/lg-g2-cases-verizon/feather-shine-case-for-lg-g2-verizon.html) I took the case off and did another factory reset last night, and so far the knock-on rate has improved from 0% to at least 60-70%... Strangest thing.... If anyone else can shed some light onto what the hell happened/is happening, I'd really appreciate it! It's been a frustrating ride since this problem surfaced about a couple weeks ago. I had this phone for about 2 months now....
I'm having this problem too. It happens with both knock on and power button wake. I have noticed that the screen is not actually immediately turning off, though. In a completely dark room, I can still see faint outlines of my lock screen. Then, after the brief time out for dimming, the screen will go to its dimmed brightness (which is far brighter than what's concurring after waking the phone). I'm able to unlock, reboot, and usually that will solve the problem for a little while, but this is getting frustrating.
Stock rom, rooted, TWRP, Nova Launcher, and xposed. I'm not sure what's causing this.
I know it's been said many times but if you block the sensors with your fingers after waking the device, your screen will turn back off. Its a security feature/bug and I would assume this is what's happening here.
I ended up getting a certified-like new replacement from verizon... While I had the old one, I did a test with that sensor you're talking about and it didn't really make a difference. I made sure the sensor area was clean without anything covering it and the problems persisted. I really hope LG can find the root cause of this and fix it... Very frustrating.
Not a bug. But this is a feature we do not want. It is called proximity sensor. It is sensing too far imo. It is actually the one next to the front cam. Dont block it within 5 inches in front or you phone will sleep again. That should work with flip case. Annoyingfunction imo. Your device is not broken.

exactly. the sensor in very sensitive to being covered. Because its hypersensitive and having undesireable effects I would consider this a bug since it is buggy.
I figured out what the issue was, at least on my phone.
Lightflow was detecting a bunch of alternate LEDs, which I felt inclined to tick the check boxes for, just to make sure it could control the LED fully. Having those boxes checked caused my phone to do this. Everything is fine since I've unchecked them, though. No sensor issue, no proximity/case issue, just Lightflow (which still works without those alternate LEDs checked).
Having this issue with my G2, its very annoying. Knock on does not work and screen shuts off after about half a second that I press the power button. Had to reflash to stock the first time this happened and fixed it but after about a month the same problem occured. I could however open by pressing one of the volume button together with the power button.
Hoping to find permanent fix for this problem.

Yeah that's it Lightflow
Disabling all the additional led found resolve my problem

Bug fix ??
When updated to 4.4 on verizon I noticed that the screen doesnt lock or go back to the slide setting I set it to after a missed call. This is a headache because screen stays on, it makes me accidentally open apps and make calls, and runs battery fast because screen stays on. For those who have updated already does 4.4.2 fix this? Also is the lowest brightness still super high? Or did it get fixed back to how it was on 4.2.2? Thanks in advance.

You post your question, and then minutes later post ..... as if we don't care about you. Pipe-down, please.
To answer your question, I haven't had the issue you're saying. The screen locks back automatically on mine, and furthermore, the Active Notifications shows I've missed a call. Check your dialer settings, reboot your phone, and worst case scenario, FR the phone.

The screen turns on randomly. No notification. No rhyme or reason that I can spot so far. The Always On Screen is set to off. The "Keep screen turned off" is enabled, though enabling it hasn't helped. The screen still turns on randomly. I'm running PB5. I didn't have this problem running the version it shipped with. This seemed to start immediately after I updated to PB5. I had the phone for a little over a week before I updated.

Idk why it's happening, but mine is doing the same thing. I've had mine since March 1 and mine just started with new update too. And my battery has tanked since then too.

Oh good....... then I'm not imagining things. It's happening to more people than just me[emoji15]
Go to settings, accessibility , dexterity and interactions , easy screen turns in and see if it is set to on. I just toggled it on and off and haven't had the screen randomly turn on yet. Fingers crossed [emoji108]

That setting wasn't on. That's not it but definitely worth checking.
There is a thread on reddit about this and they haven't figured it out either.
Mine is doing the same thing. I hate it when it does it in my pocket and causes problems.
In my case uninstalling Facebook solved issue
