Marshmallow help - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ever since I updated my note 4 to MM I've been having a few issues, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas to my issues.
1. My phone is constantly awake, on the battery graph, the awake bar is all blue. Seems like my phone doesn't sleep at all and also it doesn't seem like any apps are keeping it awake as no apps is at a high usage percentage, only screen on time.
2. Every time I press the home button or the power button to wake my phone, the phone screen takes forever to turn on. I disabled S voice and turned off the setting for the double tap and it's still extremely slow to wake.
My phone is currently not rooted, just stock MM
If anyone has any ideas that'd be wonderful.
Thanks

Screen timeout for messages

Today I was texting and when I got a text I would grab the phone and try to type but as soon as I got to the phone the screen turned off. seemed like the timing is like a few seconds too short. Is there a way to change this setting? It's not the normal screen timeout. Thanks in advance.
on a side note... has anyone found a way to turn off the battery notifications for low power and fully charged.

screen turning on

Hi All,
I have been having trouble with the phone.
The screen has been turning on by itself and not turning off. The screen will not turn off until i hit the power button. It will not turn off until the phone is out of battery.
Is anyone else having this problem?
thanks!
Want to bump this up ... having the same issue. I've uninstalled nearly every app (at least the ones I'd think would be problematic) and it's still happening. I've downloaded Spare Parts today to see if I could figure it out but I don't have enough data yet.
Anyone else have this issue? Even when I press the lock button, I sometimes need to press it multiple times to get the screen to turn off.
I too am having this problem and boy does it suck battery lol

Do you guys have power saving mode enabled or disabled? Just curious, since that's one of the only things (in addition to message notifications) that affects the screen.
can it have anything to do with automatic updates?
i never had this issue. before or after root. i just rooted two days ago
I had this problem before and after root. I also did a factory reset and I thought it was fixed ... but now it's doing it again.
Happens w/ Power Saving mode enabled and disabled.
I've figured out a semi-solution to this which seems to be working:
With Advanced Task Killer:
Enable Auto Kill Frequencey "When screen off"
Set Auto Kill Level to "Aggressive"
Set Security Level to "Medium"
Don't forget to put any apps you don't want killed in the ignore list (like WidgetLocker, your music player, etc.)
This seems to keep the screen locked for me ... but I still can't figure out what app/process is the culprit in waking the screen when it goes to sleep.

Lock Screen won't turn off

Hi there. I'm currently having an issue with my S7 edge where the lock screen won't turn off after some time. The screen does turn off when I'm using the phone normally from the main screen after some time passes but it's just the lock screen I have issues with.
Whenever I charge my phone or just hit the power button once to see notifications on the lock screen, it'll just stay like that until the same time the main screen timeout configured time passes (5 minutes) and this is getting annoying and somewhat draining a little bit more of my battery. Previously it was working fine and the lock screen would turn off after around 10 seconds or so.
Has anyone faced any similar issues with their phones? I haven't tried a factory reset yet but I'd want that to be a last resort.
Clear Background apps.
It happens when you left some games or apps by pressing home button but it keeps running. Hope they will fix this soon.
Have you tried pressing that little button on the right side of the phone? That usually helps.
Yeah...I already tried that with no luck. Even tried uninstalling some recent apps in case one of them was cause but it didn't work either. Any other suggestions?
The issue isn't with turning the phone screen off by pressing the power button, it's the lock screen itself not turning off after a few seconds when it usually does.
I'm having the same problem, had good lock installed thought that may have been the problem but after uninstalling that I'm still having the same problem with samsungs oem lock screen. I too would like an answer or fix for this. also to note, in developer options the stay awake is off and no apps running in the background.
I am having this problem now also. The screen will lock, but the display stays on but dimmed. I can tap the screen and it will get bright. Now I must click the side button every time I set my phone down or the screen will drain the battery.
I'm facing exactly the same issue. When the screen is locked, it stays on for the same time confirmed to when its unlocked. For example, 1 minute, instead of 10-15 seconds.
Any workaround discovered for this?
Did anyone find a solution to this problem?
I thought that I might've been the only one! This problem only appeared on my phone after the Nougat update, and it's extremely annoying as I rely on notifications waking the screen for my main messaging app.

Hello, I am having the same issue in my Redmi note 11 pro plus Phone. In my case The screen will lock but display stays on with dimmed light. Usually it is not visible during day, but in dark room its visible. And it stays the same way whole night. And battery is fully drained and phone is turned off. Is there a solution for this??

crazy issue with screen and sensors

So in BBS, whenever I have poor battery life, it's correlated with this obnoxious sensor usage from either Android or Google services. I noticed that a lot of times that I push the power button to turn my screen off and then move the phone, the phone gently vibrates and then lights the screen back up to the lock screen. I've tried toggling settings on and off everywhere. The only way this could be happening is with a sensor so I'm pretty sure this is correlating to that issue. Anyone seen this and have any ideas?
check "home button problem" post... your problem is the same...

having issues with double tap to wake is anybody else

Basically I double tap to wake my screen it vibrates but the screen stays black, I have to usually hit the power button a few times to get the screen to come back on. It's not a once in a while thing I'd say it's happening about 70-80% of the time. I'm on OOS 9.0.12
No issue on mine running 9.0.13 but equally was fine on 9.0.12

Weird don't know what it's deal is
I've had issues with double tap to wake since I got the phone soon after it was released. Not exactly the same as what you're experiencing. Often when I tap to wake the screen it doesn't respond at all. No vibration. Sometimes if I tap again it will wake, sometimes it won't no matter how many times I try & I have to hit the power button. I've only used the official stable releases and none of the updates have fixed this.

Thats what I get from time to time as well. Not often, just randomly...
I have this issue when the phone is in deep sleep and Smart Lock has engaged. I'm trying to running a routine that prevents Smart Lock from engaging and I've been partially successful in that. Due to the aggressive app and process killing of this phone, ordinarily Smart Lock will engage on average between 1 and 2 hours in my experience.
When the phone is not in deep sleep, double tap works just fine. I'm running OxygenOS, Pie, update 12, rooted.
