About every 1 in 3 times I try to turn the phone on, the screen remains black, but I know it has "woken up", because it vibrates under my finger to indicate it has unlocked. Additionally, swiping around while the screen is black results in opening main screen apps. I have tried face unlock, fingerprint and voice unlock and these methods all have the same kind if success rate. I've found the only way of turning the screen on is, after unlocking it, is to hold the power button to bring up the force shutdown menu. This issue has gotten progressively worse over a number of weeks. I run an app launcher, may be contributing? The phone is about a year old. Help!

I have not yet modified the power button.
'Cause I set up the fingerprint unlock,Im used to swiping my finger after press the power button.
after pending or standing by a while(maybe),It vibrates once after my unlocking through scanning fingerprint.But!!!! The screen is still black!!!
Meanwhile,touching the four buttons on the bottom,it still vibrates!
And waiting for seconds,Screen on~~~~~
Symptoms sound a lot like my Bell Vibrant before it died after the Froyo upgrade.
Have you tried resetting your phone yet?...
Okay,I have flash it to 4.157sbf,and temporarily nothing goes wrong
I have the same symptoms. Sometimes when I push the power button it takes 3-5 seconds or more for the screen to light up. I did a power off and on and it works better. Not sure what is causing this but it is annoying.
I've had this on.both my atrixes and it seems to.resolve itself as the phone gets older

I have had the same issue on mine. It occurs intermittently. Not always, but sometimes. And when the screen is turned off, I push the power button and nothing happens for about 3-5 seconds. Sometimes longer.
I do also have the fingerprint security feature on, though I am not sure if that that has something to do with it. However there is another problem with the fingerprint security.
Sometimes I want to check the time so I just turn on my screen and quickly turn it back off. But the screen turns right back on cuz it recognized my click as a fingerprint. However since it is too short to be recognized, it just turns my screen back on and says to try again. I try to turn the screen off again and the same thing. This also happens on occasions.
They need to make the power button better so that ways it does not recognize a screen turn off as a fingerprint swipe.
I have had similar problems. Rebooting has usually fixed them, at least for a while
I've had this phone for two weeks, and so far I find that 100% of custom lockscreen replacements that I've tried have this problem, and I've tried about a dozen.
When I unlock the phone by pressing the power button or the home button, 10%-20% of the time the custom lock screen will display but the touch screen doesn't respond. What I mean by that is that nothing I do on the screen is registered as a touch; be it trying to unlock, click on a notification, or pull down the lockscreen. I then have to turn the screen off and then on again for the touch screen to work. Furthermore, if it's a lockscreen that can be bypassed with the home button, I can enter the home screen and STILL can't interact with anything on she screen until I turn the screen off and on again.
I have lock screen security disabled, so it's definitely not that. Anyone else have this problem or have any ideas on how to stop this behaviour?
So I managed to drop my phone a couple of weeks ago and crack the screen. The screen itself has remained fully functional despite a couple of purple lines down it and progressively worse flickering. It;s gradually started becoming more unresponsive and tonight it seems to have had enough. The stay on screen still display the time and if I press the lock key it will show me my lock screen and my notifications, I can swipe and remove these and if drag them down to read them further.
However, when I actually unlock my phone to go to my home screen, the phone screen goes black - I know the phone has unlocked because I can hear the sound effects when I press apps but everything remains black and I can't get the screen to come alive again until I lock the phone. If I double tap the home button, it will quick launch my camera and that works. So essentially the screen still works but won't show me my home screen or any apps (apart from camera), it's essentially blacked out until I lock it again.
I'm getting it repaired but am not able to do so for a few days. Any ideas how I can bring the screen back to life when I unlock the phone? I tried restarting a few times, leaving it turned off for a while and emergency mode - none of which worked.
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??
Yo,
yesterday I dropped my GS7E, it wasn't much of a high but the ground was pretty hard. My hardglass screen protector shattered a little but not really much, just the bottom corners of the screen protector got hurt.
Since then, my phone is not waking the screen up the first time I press the power button to unlock the phone. It its waking up but the screen stays black, I can unlock it by fingerprint while the screen is black and even take photos or open any app. I also feel the vibration.
So to fix it and actually get into the phone with screen on I have to lock and unlock it again. If I lock the phone after using it normally, it would work the normal way after unlocking it right again. But if I waited some time and I try unlocking, the screen would just stay black for the first attempt of unlocking.
Isnt that weird? xD
Just wanted to share that and maybe someone even got a permanent fix for that
What happens if you turn it on with the home button instead of the power button?
It wakes up the screen like it would normally do, but the first time I presss it, the screen stays black and I have to lock it again and then I can wake up the screen with home button.
Forgot to mention that.
Probably no solution to that I guess?
If I were u I reflash the firmware. Dont know if that fix it but i would give a try, u got nothing to loose
