Happened on my 7pro now on my 8pro sometimes just randomly stays awake after clearing a notification does this happen for anyone else?
Hey.
I hear it for the first time. I have never encountered this before
Hey, I was just about to post the same issue - my screen tends to stay on randomly too. No idea what the root cause is but am hoping that others have encountered it. If we can figure out a reproducible scenario we should be able to log a defect with OnePlus.
Noticed my lock screen stayed on randomly...
Look slike using double tap to wake with notifications or not, keeps the display awake - it doesnt turn off after no use
i get it!
Same here.. lock screen and sometimes just stays on randomly. Peeled off screen protector wondering if that caused some issue and it still happens. They need to fix this.

I've owned 3 of these so far (on the 4th... let's not even go there for now)
The newest one seems to be fine overall -- but I'm wondering if this is common among other GTs--
Problem:
Turning off the screen, and then quickly turning it back on causes the backlight to start, but the screen remains black until the power button is cycled again.
Here are the conditions under which I've experienced the problem:
GT 10.1, 32GB, Gray
Screen brightness ~40% and 100%
Lockscreen and Homescreen wallpapers set to Gallery image.
It has happened to me a few times, but not often enough to bother me. There was a topic about this soon after the release and I believe the problem isn't very rare.
I'm going to be at Best Buy later today anyway, so I'm going to see if I can replicate the problem on their display models.
It's quite annoying... Could someone try to see if they have the same issue on their retail model for me? It shouldn't be difficult to. It happens a lot, personally.
Ive been trying to replicate it but no luck. not sure if it matters but I've got a pattern lock screen.

Great phone but, it appears to be a bug with the screen dimming.
Regarding settings, I have everything turned off. Adapt display is off. Auto-brightness is off. Auto-adjust screen tone is off also.
I know Samsung displays dim if the phone overheats but my phone will auto-dim even if the phone is cool.
What I've found out is that the phone will only dim "permanently" when the screen is about to shut off.
For example: Set the screen shut off to 30 seconds and around the 28 second mark, the screen will dim for a couple of seconds before it shuts off. This is where the auto-dimming will "permanently" kick in. When the screen dims at the 28 second mark for a second, i'll touch the screen so it doesn't shut off. But by this time, the screen has dimmed already and won't go back to the regular brightness. I have to lock and unlock the phone for the dimmed screen to go away.
This scenario has happened every single time. Extremely annoying.
Anyone else experience this?

Yes, same here. It happens alot. Not every single time, but alot of the times.
Try this...
Hi
As the other user said it might be the software bug.
Please try this app. Disable your auto brightness and install this software https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitocassisi.luxlite
This lite version is free. Try this. If everything works, you may consider the paid version to support the dev guy...
Screen noise/flicker upon turning screen on
Upon turning on the screen, there is a slight flicker/staticy looking noise. Toward the bottom of my lock screen. It's easily replicated, but it doesn't do it every time.
I just want to know if it seems like a defect or it could easily be fixed by an update. Motorola might not even know about it yet.
Yeah mine does it sometimes, but not all the time

I'm getting that too.
I filmed mine in slow motion when this happens on it and it appears to be an android software bug. It flashes the home screen then pulls up the latest app or vice versa. its so fast it looks like its just noise though.
you guys sure you didnt turn on the option for it to make a noise on unlock?
Are you guys or anyone else having this problem while being rooted? Because, I only started noticing this problem after I rooted
It happened to me before being rooted, if I had Moto Display on it never showed, it was only until switching to Ambient Display, or to neither Moto or Ambient Display that it started showing up.
Always running Notification
May be because of any always running notification. I too had same problem. Then I uninstalled the app that always used to have a notification running. Now the problem seems to be less frequent or not anymore.
I experienced issue lately, when i got notifications sometimes thw screen won't wake up,neither with power button or fingerprint scanner,it just the screen completely off although led notifications still blinking and still got notification tone so the phone is still on but the screen won't turn on,its quite annoying when im kinda buys and want to check new notifications so the only i can do is reboot the phone.is anyone experience this?or anyone know how to fix this?

Thank mate really appreciate it
My pleasure!
Hi,
I have this phone for little over 2 years. For over 1 week now I'm experiencing my phone not being able to wake up when I use the power button/home button. Whenever I push the button, the screen flashes for like 1s blue color, you can also see that the notification panel is blacked out and part of it green and it doesn't wake up. Sometimes it doesn't even flash. It used to take about 10 tries to wake it up but today I couldn't wake it up. I performed soft reset, I couldn't see the booting animation at all but it rebooted, buttons lit up and I was able to get in. It's like the phone is working fine in the background but the screen doesn't light up. I can turn down/up the volume, take a screenshot, get into settings, open apps, write a message but the screen is black. Even my alarm went off this morning but I couldn't dismiss it.
I downloaded an Always On Display app. Although I don't actually see the screensaver when it's locked, it's still on and it's easy to get in beacuse of it.
It all started with the screen flickering on minimum brightness. In February this year I had the screen replaced for the same issue but this time it's worse because of the blacked out screen.
Any ideas what it could be? Faulty display again?
Thank you

It's over to have this phone for little over 2 years now you should have to change
TIP:
Flash a new stock rom of your phone from sammobile via ODIN.

That would be great, but I'm not a person that buys new phone every 2 years. I was thinking about it though .
When it comes to flashing. Do you think that would help? I don't want to end up with a black screen unable to set the phone up again. Cause overall it's working great .
Hi, i have the same problem, i'm from Belgium, and I have blinking screen problem and wake up screen problem :s
is it a software issue (nougat???)
before the big update (marshmallow i dont have any problem)
i'm on firmware A510FXXS7CRJ6_A510FLUX7CRJ1_A510FXXU7CRJ6_HOME.tar.md5
Turn screen brightness up abit to stop the blinking of screen. It's an issue of the screen hardware itself at low brightness after wear and tear. As for the hanging issue, maybe it has to do with your AOD app? Try uninstalling the AOD app OR flashing a stock Rom OR custom rom OR factory reset and use your phone at a higher brightness that the screen does not blink and see whether it still persists.

Thanks, because of my past experience with the same problem earlier this year I know about that "solution". Unfortunately, it makes the battery die faster as expected. Which is sad because I used it mainly on low brightness. So it's really not a solution at all.
I got rid of the AOD app because I found out that the phone lights up on 2nd try. AOD didn't work at all. I have to wake it up, put it to sleep and wake it up again which is always successful and the screen lights up. The screen flashes white about 3 times in a row now otherwise it works.
I haven't flashed it yet although I wanted to. But I will see what can I do. Thank you though!
I'm having the exact same issue using LineageOS.
It's already been 2 years, but since this thread is one of the first results on Google, I'll gladly add a solution.
Exact same problem for me, went through two screen repairs under warranty, and it would always come back a year later. No difference between Samsung OS and LineageOS, though I haven't tried rooting it.
Found on Ifixit: this issue is related to the AMOLED screen technology used by Samsung (among others). You can look it up, apparently there is a bad (?) voltage management in low brightness which worsen with time.
I could fix it with the "OLED Saver" application on Play Store. It works around this voltage management and allows you to reduce the brightness without the green flickering.
I still got white flashes after the installation, but not anymore the day after. I could even disable this application without the issue coming back.
I don't know what kind of magic cleanup this app performed, but it really is a (screen) life saver.
