[Q] Screen keeps turning itself on - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Why is this happening? Every minute or so, the screen comes on. I am running Syndicate 1.1.0.
To stop it from happening, I go into Settings and change the screen lock method from PIN to Pattern or vice versa. Changing that setting stops the screen from turning itself on for about 12 hours; then the problem starts again.
I've tried reflashing the ROM but that didn't fix it.
Any suggestions?

Did you try changing the timeout settings?
yes I did.
In my case, the screen timeout keeps resetting itself to 15 seconds. I change it to 1 minute and at some point it resets itself back to the default.

[Q] Variety of strange screen issues occuring

Apologies if this has been addressed before, but I searched and couldn't find something exactly like this...
Randomly one of 3 screen issues seems to be occuring on a daily basis:
1) Auto-Rotate stops working. Cannot get screen to rotate without reset (Yes, I've made sure auto-rotate is on in settings)
2) Screen will not Auto-Off. Even if I change settings to 15 secs, screen will not turn itself off. I have to manually turn it off. And, if I receive a text or any kind of notification it will light up again and stay on indefinitely.
3) Screen will not turn back on when trying to wake up device. Hitting the home button and power button both have no effect. Although the LED is usually blinking, and it seems the phone is still on.
For all 3 of the above issues, manually pulling out the battery and reseting the phone that way seems to always work. But, this is an annoying process to have to go through on a daily basis.
Also, I've noticed that these 3 symptoms don't occur simultaneously. For example, yesterday it wouldn't auto-off, but rotation would still work.
Not running any custom ROMs either

[Q] Screen timeout not turning off the screen

Hi
I tried to change the timeout of my scrren but what ever I chose, nothing worked ; the screen stays on.
When I am in front of it, no big deal, I close the cover and it closes the screen but in this situation, if i have a reminder that switches the screen on, it stays on forever
Could you help me ?
I tried wakelock but i did not see anything particular and, in any case, I am not sure I know how to read it correctly but I assume that is not that difficult
Thanks for your help

screen issue?

So this morning, my at&t note 4 screen started to go nuts. it will unlock screen by itself, the phone auto dims screen without auto dim being on, and repeats until I put phone into airplane mode, or shut it off. It only started happening today? what could be the issues?

Screen stays on

I noticed yesterday that my screen stays on, not on AOD, but on the home screen, until I turn it off, then AOD turns on. I've already checked the settings, the timeout is set to 15 seconds.
Anyone?
I don't have any fix but maybe try a different time setting and see it that sticks. Do you have any app installed possibly that keeps the screen on?
I've tried 30 seconds, 2 minutes, etc. I have to manually turn it off. I should also mention that I'm currently using the Oreo beta phase 2, and most of the apps I have are Verizon/Samsung bloat. I have very few other apps because I have no way to backup data without root.
Well, I got tired of the bugs with Oreo, so I went back to rooted Nougat. No more permanently-on screen issue.
