On my old iphone, when the screen went dim, if you were to tap the screen, regardless of where you tapped it would wake, but on the Evo when the screen dims if you tap it will not only wake the screen but click on whatever you tapped on as well. Pretty annoying when you're in a web browser and try to wake the screen but it clicks on a link.
Anyone know if there's a setting or fix for this?

I tend to just tap the notification bar when I want to bring the backlight back up. Requires a bit more aim but it doesn't click anything.
I tap and drag... doesn't click but wakes LCD

Okay, this is really starting to annoy me to hell, On the GT-n7100 only when you'd touch the button area they would light up but the t-mobile version is lighting up no matter what, if I scroll a webpage, move the phone screen to different set of icons it's driving me insane is it bugged? Or the phone like defective?
It should only light up when I tap the capacitive buttons yet any action I take it keeps lighting it up like scrolling a webpage or through the phones apps even. And both phones are set to 1.5 second duration however the T- Mobile version no matter what I touch on the screen lights keep coming on, while N7100 only when I press the capacitive button area. +
Any thoughts?
Completely disagree.
They should come on before you need them - so you can see wth you are trying to press...

galaxy s3 is this way as well. i think its a samsung thing
I would actually like them to stay on the whole time the screen is on. I feel like they time out much to fast.
You can change settings in display settings.

Hm. Good call.
Im well aware of the light key duration thats not the issue. There are no other display settings to control the light keys that I see.
On the n7100 the capacitive buttons would not come on everysingle time I would scroll down on a webpage pull down the notification menu or touch the screen, there is no setting for to get rid of this. The behavior of the buttons is not the same.
The capacitive lights come on everytime you do anything.
Is there away to make it behave like the n7100?
Is anyone having dimming problems with there screen? For instance, when I'm on the browser, and want to swipe the screen upward with my finger the screen dims out right when I slide my finger without even messing with the brightness slider. It happens even on FB. The only way to bring up the brightness back is to turn off screen with the power button and back up or move the slider on drop down.
Anyone having this similar problem? Thanks.

I have issues where the screen doesn't adjust based on ambient light.
I am assuming you dont have auto-brightness turned on, do you have the same issue when it is on?
I haven't tried that. Bit its the screen that dims down by itself when I touch the screen. I did a factory reset when I was NF4 and update to NF9 and the problem is still there.

I don't know if this is the same as yours, but few times, when screen is close to it's time out, it dims to tell me so, now if I want to keep screen on I would swipe or touch it, most of the time it will go back to normal, but in very few cases, count down timer will reset, so the screen stays on, but the brightness doesn't come back, screen will stay at low power and I need to double click power button, to turn the screen off and on to get back proper brightness. It's very rare, haven't seen it since my update to NF9 week ago, but I've seen it. No big deal since it's rare and easily fixed with double click. If your problem is not time out related, then I have not seen it. Either way I would speculate it is software related, somehow screen brightness register is improperly or not updated at all. It doesn't bother me at all, but if it was I would probably try factory reset after full backup.
I realized today my phone was facing inwards towards my leg and that it may be double tapping and turning on in my pants. Any way of stopping this, but also monitoring? I am just curious as I faced my phone outward it kept my battery lasting much longer today.

I had the same issue, but for me it turned out to be neither the back button nor double tap to wake. For me it was greenify, which does evil things when it doesn't have root: it turns on the screen, goes to the app info of an app it wants to hibernate, and "clicks" the "force stop" button, before going back and just leaving the screen on.
Of course this may not be the cause of your problem. You may not even have greenify installed. Have a useful way to debug the issue: install tasker (or something similar, maybe condi can do it too), and make a profile that makes your phone vibrate when the screen turns on. Make sure the vibration duration is distinguishable from notifications, 200 ms worked for me.
This way, you will know exactly when your phone turns on in your pocket. You will be able to reason about whether the back button was accidentally pressed or whether it's double tap to wake, or something else altogether, like greenify in my case.
Just a side note: it's unlikely to be double tap to wake, because double tap to wake will not turn your screen on when the proximity sensor detects that something is close. You can try that by holding your finger over the proximity sensor while trying to turn it on. Double tap to wake won't turn the screen on in the first place, and the screen will turn on and immediately off when using the power button.
So yeah, try the tasker/condi profile and see what your phone does right after it wakes. I saw mine force closing Facebook messenger like 7 times in less than an hour, and it stopped after I uninstalled greenify.

Ive noticed the screen on out of pocket but rarely. One new feature is the "slide down" quick peek while the display is off. This new feature may have new side effects.

That too doesn't work when the proximity sensor senses something is close. Try it by holding a finger over it while trying to pull down the thing with another finger.

Is there a quick way to turn off the G4 screen with the use of the proximity sensor or like double tapping the home button? If I have the phone flat on the table I don't want to lift it up to turn it off and I don't like waiting for it to dim out. I like locking it.
Double tap any empty space on the screen.

Oh wow didn't think of that thanks, but that only works on the lock screen?
If you are using stock launcher, it works anywhere, screen on. With screen off, double tap will wake it up.
Also if you are in an app like tapatalk where there is no empty space ... Double tap the status bar at the top... Works the same.

It has to be a really deliberate gesture, and you have to lift it to 90 degrees i've found.
I turn it off and use double tap to wake, the most under-rated feature ever.

Thanks, yes i use double tap to view the lockscreen aswell.. it's just quicker for the fingerprint scanner if the screens on when i pick it up.. I'll try be more pronounced. Cheers
Mines is very responsive
Same, I turned it off
I had to switch it off, as I do not always want the phone to wake up every time I pick it! I use double tap to wake, really useful, specially if combined with double tap to lock with Nova launcher
