[HELP] My screen does not turn off. - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got a little problem that is draining my battery.
When i press the power button, my screen turns off, but two second later it turns on into the lockscreen.
Already tried a full wipe to look if some app is causing the problem, but nop. it still had the problem.
However the weird thing is that when i use the phone it never turns the screen off. it does sometimes pop up the power menu, but that does not happen often.
I hope someone can help me, because it annoys the heck of off me that i can't even get 7 hours out of my phone w/ minimal use.

Need help. Some problems with my slide

Hey guys, i have some problems that i hope somebody can help with. My phone isnt rooted, basically out of the box stock, but ive had it since the day it came out. So shes got some time on her.
It was working perfectly till about a day ago. Then all of a sudden the screen would not stay off for more than a second. I would push the lock button and it would turn off, but the lighted buttons (home, back, etc) would stay lit. Then the screen would turn back on a second later. But i found that if i push the lock button and immediately push it again, the lighted buttons will also turn off and the screen will stay off. If i hold the lock button it will just flash the menu with the options to power off options (airplane mode, silent mode, etc..), but immediately disappear. But if i hold the lock button till just before that menu would pop up, it wont always disappear.
Also sometimes when i try to open any app it will close automatically, popping up with a recent apps menu that ive never actually seen before. I can push back and the menu will go away and i can try to open the app again. Usually successful the second time.
And last my battery life has gone down the drain. It went from fully charged to empty in about 7 hours. It used to last much longer. The screen might be on in my pocked, so that could be the problem, but i try to check it often to see if its on.
Just hoping that someone will know if this is a hardware or software problem. The phone was perfect in the morning, and a few hours later the problems started.
I have android version 2.2.1, froyo i believe.
Any help will be really appreciated. Sorry for the long post, just trying to be specific.

[Q] Bad screen?

For the past several days I have been having this issue with my phone that is happening at least once or twice a day. There are times when I press the power button to turn the screen on, nothing happens. I thought at first that it wouldn't come out of sleep mode. When I looked at the battery stats, it shows that the phone has been awake. The phone will ring and email and sms notifications work. I can also answer the phone using a bluetooth. The screen won't come back on until I either pull the battery or hold the power button until it does a hard shutdown. Is there a anything I can do that might fix this or am I going to have to take it to sprint? I am hoping I don't have to get it replaced because that means I have to leave it with them the whole day in order for them to see it happen.

Have you tried switching roms, returning back to stock to see if it still does it? If you have tried all those options I would flash back to stock and take it to sprint.

[Q] screen not turning off

Strange issue
a new samsung s4 mini, stock rom.
the screen will not turn off. whenever it enters sleep mode, the screen blacks out for a second, then turns back on.
this happens when it goed to sleep automatically, or when pressing the powerbutton
tried factory reset, same problem (no extra programs installed)
installed a wakelock ap, but that does not really show a reason why it should be turning on?
Anyhting obvious i am missing, or should i just return this to the dealer.

Have you installed any app like "Screen ON"?
I ve got this problem from time to time, when I lock the phone it wakes up for 5s and then turns the screen off although I have had twice the situation where the screen was on all the time till I pressed off button again...strange.
Had this problem long time ago with Note 1 and somebody said that the phone wakes up if it looses the signal and searching for it again......
dont know......
Im not really sure but might as well try.
Have you turned on Daydream ?
You can find it in Settings 》My Device 》 Display
Make sure it is off.
If that hasnt worked, if you have a cover on take it off and then see if you still have that problem. Maybe the cover is too tight and its presing on a button.
If that doesnt work, then now lets turn off Smart Stay. Swipe down your notification bar and look for Smart Stay and turn it off.
If none of these have worked then I'm not sure :/
Hope your problems gets fixed.

I Really Need Help! I cant find the source of my ZE551ML problem.

I was using FlareM stock kernel... With Bear N Russian Os for more than a week without any prob.
It was midnight i left my phone charging. I woke up and used my phone for normal usage.
The next morning double tap to wake my phone. The screen awake but nothing was showing up it was blank
DT2W was working but the whole screen was blank. Black Screen Flash. In curiosity i thought i have to restart. I forced power off my phone.
After a few seconds i start my phone. Phone gives a gentle double vibrate. But its blank nothing at all is showing. The screen is total blank. No boot screen, i cant go Recovery.... Just Blank, Nothing.
When i start it just vibrates.
Computer detects USB when it Vibrates. After awhile its gone.
The vibrate comes up every aproximately 5 minutes. Keeps soft double Vibrate every 5 min, i guess its restarting by itself until i press the power button again for 10s where it switches off.
Please give me a solution. I'm so confused how could this happen overnight
Owh, And i tried Solution where we need to re place the 3 wires above battery. Not working.
No charging indication too since this prob occur.
:crying:
Do you think i should try this Method?

wakelocks? turning on screen by itself...

so, my wife's phone is insane. this thing turns the screen on by itself, even after we press the button to turn it off it'll come right back on within a couple seconds. The battery life is terrible too. Are there any apps out there that can tell me if there is another app on her phone causing all these problems?
