[Q] Why does my HOX screen turn on by himself - HTC One X

Today, when checking my phone's battery drain (because I suspected something was wrong since it drained about 20% in just 5 hours, beeing in deep sleep) I found that my screen was on for 1.30h.
That was very weird because I have used the phone for little time and couldn't understand why my HOAX reported 1.30h of screen time.
So I made a test. Kept looking at the screen and... voila! I found that it turns on by himself for apparently no reason since I didn't even touched it.
I digged into any opened apps and closed them all but the screen keeps turning on randomly. Even weired, when it turns on, if I press the on/off button to force it beeing off, it turns on again immediately.
What can be causing this behaviour? Anyone with a similar experience that could give an advise?
Thank you a lot

Crash -> Black Screen -> Battery Pull

I'm getting a crash once every 3-4 days on average that requires a battery pull. So far I've had it happen while receiving a Whatsapp message, replying to a Google+ notification, and most recently, while listening to music.
I know I am not alone because I have seen a few other threads talking about similar issues. I am wondering how widespread this is however while I try to decide whether to return the phone or not. Are any of you running for a long period of time (1 week or more) without any instability?
I've had it happen to me a couple of times too, once when playing a movie in Diceplayer, and accidentally push the power button, causing the screen to go blank, then I couldn't turn it back on. Had to pull the battery. Had it happen to me again this morning, can't remember what I had done prior to it happening, though. Anyway, I did not have the time to pull the battery, so I just tried it again a couple of minutes later, and it woke up, all was normal again.
Happened twice only since November 25th to me.
I've had the phone now for a couple of weeks and have yet to have a crash.
My phone crashed two times in one week. Booth times when i closed a game.
Just take into consideration that most of these crashes are due to incompatibility between ICS and apps that don't officially support it yet. Not as much due to the device itself. So returning it and getting a phone running gingerbread won't solve the crashed when that phone eventually gets ICS....
I get it every few days too. Crash followed by what looks like the phone trying to reboot, but screen just goes dead and I need to pull battery to restart it.
i have had this too a few times. the screen just turns off, and won't turn back on. have to pull the battery before i can turn it back on.
this last time, i was just in the sms app, reading a message. i noticed the text was rendering strangely, with sort of colours around the edges of the letters, as if it was a low-res screen. then just as i tapped the message, to try to see if the rendering would change if i highlighted it, the screen turned off, and the phone seems to be dead, requiring a battery pull before i am able to turn it back on.
i haven't pulled the battery yet, and the phone is still sitting apparently dead. however i also notice that despite the screen being off, and it sitting here for a while doing what seems like nothing, the top half of the phone is actually pretty hot (front and back). not due to the screen having been on either, because the bottom half is cold.
Try turning off the eq in the music player. Worked for me it seems.

Based on the replies received so far, I think it is fair to say that these crashes are most likely related to software issues (as opposed to hardware). I guess patience is due while our bleeding edge technology stabilizes..
me too
Yes, i have also had a crash twice in the one week that I have had sgn which required a battery pull to turn the phone back on. I think the first time, I was in the settings and it looked like a few pixels were going crazy then screen went black and I had to pull battery. Then about 5 days later, I was not using the phone but when I went back to it, the screen was black and I couldn't turn it on untill battery pull. Watching this thread with interest.
Had it a few minutes ago with Facebook. Had just opened it when it turned black. No button responded. Eventually managed to get back in menu. Considered removing the app.

Didn't have a black screen so far, but had it freeze 3 times in the week that I own it (2x Google Maps, 1x in Gallery when pressing home button). Screen stays just as it is, no corruption, no dimming, no response to anything.
I had similar problems guys and horrible battery life. It is 100% an app you downloaded.
Do a complete wipe or figure out which app it is one by one. I did the second method and I only lose 1% of battery life an hour on standby.
Completely stock GN with 4.0.3 - never rooted, locked bootloader

[Q] Screen on and Charging when not charging

My gnex has a strange problem.
Every once in a while it goes into a loop where the following happens:
Screen turns on and display says the phone is charging even though I am nowhere near a charger or cable.
The screen stays on for 30 seconds (until timeout) and the immediately turns on again.
It can drain the battery in a few hours when this happens, and there's nothing I can do to make it stop. Not even a reboot helps.
After charging, the phone goes back to acting normal.
There's no obvious pattern in battery level, running apps, or anything else I could find. It doesn't even happen in every charge cycle.
I have tried flashing another ROM, flashing another kernel, killing apps and processes, removing apps, going to flightmode and a lot of other things. Nothing helps.
Does anyone have an idea what's happening?
Has anyone else experienced this?
There was another user posting with this problem.
Then another two who came to his aid (kind of) saying that they had the problem before as well...and eventually had to turn their phones in for refurbs.
I can't seem to find the thread, but I do swear to the validity of my statements.

GN Does't go to sleep when inactive

Hi all,
My Nexus has been doing something a bit weird the past few days... The display is set to go to sleep after 30 seconds of inactivity (and yes, I've triple checked it) though recently it has just been staying on the whole time until I press the power button. I tried a few things, like switching the inactivity time to 15 seconds, or trying it whether plugged in or not, but it still stays on. It's a bit annoying because I'm concerned for privacy if I leave it on my desk (in a college dorm room) while I'm out for a few minutes and it doesn't go to sleep, or for battery if I put it in my pocket and never turns off. Anybody have similar problems or solutions?
Thanks
To me, it sounds like an app is misbehaving, and thus keeping your phone awake... have you tried removing all of your apps except the essentials (gapps) and see if this problem still persists?
Yes so I just turned it off and back on; working better now thanks!

Screen freezing solved for me

Hi all just want to share my experience with the screen locking issue (won't wake from sleep).
It has been a real pain in my ass and lately was getting worse.
So I'm happy to say after 7 days I have not had the dreaded screen freezing at all, all i did was turn off the keep screen awake while charging. i turned it off and no more not waking while hitting the power button. I'm not saying this was the cause for every user a fix everyone. For whatever reason it did work for me and I figured I'd share and maybe help someone else.
Just wanted to update, after 2 weeks my screen has not frozen once.
My device exhibited the same behaviour on stock 4.4.4. Meaning, it did not wake up from sleep upon power button press. It eventually woke up, after a couple seconds or maybe up to 30 seconds.
I have not had the option ticked you had, for me it was a custom kernel I used. I am back on the stock kernel and have not had any spontaneous reboots I had before nor does my device not properly wake up from sleep. All perfect.
As the user above, I am simply sharing my experience. Your mileage may vary.

Note 4 screen randomly turns on

So lately I've been noticing my phone hasn't been locking when it should be and while my phone was sitting next to me I watched the display turn on and off twice within ~45 seconds by itself.
Haven't changed any settings and this had never occurred/been a problem before.
Already cleared cache in recovery no help.
Any help would be appreciated thanks!
Mine does this as well because I have greenify installed, if you look very closely after it turns the screen on, you can see that it's force closing apps, but it turns the brightness all the way down while it does this. If you don't have greenify installed then I am not sure what might be causing your phone to do this.
