Screen stays on ALL NIGHT - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I dont know if anyone is facing the same problem I have now, my n2 screen wont turn off by itself. I have set the timer on 15secs, smart stay disable. It juz wont turn off when idle. And if its fully charged, it will stay up all night as well.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Does it relate to my Omega rom or Redpill kernel?
Thanks

Do you have motion on?

Reboot?

Check developer options, stay awake. Make sure its unchecked.

experienced this after upgrading to 4.1.2 weeks ago. backed up everything, complete-wipe then reflashed my rom(always on stock). no more issues. must have been a hiccup.

I had this even when I was on 4.1.1. Thought the upgrade would solve it for me but it didn't. Tough luck. Still searching for 3rd party apps that could give me a permanent solution.

i noticed this problem sometimes with 4.1.1 but not with 4.1.2

I dun have a fix to this problem but I have a tasker profile that turns the screen off when battery is fully charged. You might want to try that as an interim.

What is your screen time out once mine was changed automatically check that

There's a button on the side for that
Just kidding, that's very strange. I noticed if you reboot the phone and don't touch it, when it comes on the screen never turns off either. Doesn't matter if it's plugged in or not.

I had that problem when using smart stay and smart rotation settings turned on in display settings. After I turned them off the screen shut off after 30 seconds as it should every time.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

Yes I noticed when 'smart stay' is turned on it causes the screen to stay on all the time. It's not a perfect feature. So I've turned it off
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda app-developers app

do you have the power option to stay on whilst charging?

It's not smart stay, not the screen rotate with your head thingy nor the developer option that keeps the screen on while the device is being charged. I turned all that off. This is clearly a big that I've had from 4.1.1. Can't get rid of it. Annoyance at its peak.

Are you saying that the screen just won't turn off, or that it turns itself on and then won't turn off?
If it's the first, my guess is an app which prevents the screen from turning off, didn't release its lock after being shut down. This can happen with some games, I've seen it with angry birds and jetpack joyride, titanium backup has done it too. Try to empty ram and kill processes, and/or reboot, though I would guess you might have tried that already.

If doesn't turn on on its own. When the bug kicks in, the screen doesn't go off if it's manually turned on or If a missed call or message is left unattended. Hope you got that. But yes, I can turn off the screen manually but doing that every time is ridiculously annoying. The bad thing is I cannot know if the bug is active or not without actually watching my screen till the timeout. Annoying bug! I've tried various things and I do not know what's causing this. I'm on stock rom, never rooted.

Try to delete some recent apps you installed.
I never got to the bottom of this. My screen will turn on after I get a txt or the alarm clock rings.

Those are proscribed behaviors... The phone is supposed to do that unless you dl a mod. I think freeza did a mod for the messaging notifications....

Hope I'm not thread jacking. But they turn on and never turn back off. So if I don't put my phone on the charger at night and then I get a txt, the screen stays on and drains. Or if I snooze in the morning and pass back out, the screen stays on.

Wake locks! Use better battery stats to tell you what the offending app is.

I'm actually having this issue. Phone will stay on and won't go into sleep. Touch key light duration is set to 1.5 seconds but this stays on as well. And I'm having to reset the phone every time this happens. Could anyone direct me to resolving this issue?
Use better batteey atats to find the app keeping it awake, and uninstall.

Turn Off Wifi Reconnection Confirmation

I have my wifi configured to turn off when my screen goes off. When I wake the phone I always get a pop up message telling me that my wifi has reconnected. Is there any way to stop that pop up from appearing?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Was wondering this myself. It seems a bit random though. Sometimes it does it and sometimes not and as yet I haven't noticed a pattern.
No doubt one of the gurus here will know

Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Just had a thought. Is your wifi set to switch off when your phone sleeps? Mine is set to always on so I would only get that message if I actually turn the wifi off then on again (just tested it).
It doesn't seem to make any huge difference in battery life to leave it always on in my experience.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I know it doesn't make a huge difference but it does save a bit of battery. I'm using Juice Defender to switch it off. The pop up message isn't a huge problem. I was just wondering if there was a simple hack to remove it.

No worries. I can appreciate how sometimes the small annoyances can make a difference if solved.
My Gnex was so much better when I found how to wake it with the volume buttons... Which reminds me that I must solve that one for this Note

Annoying Pattern Lock Issue

Dont know if it's because of the screen protector but every time it "wakes up," the lock pattern never works the first time no matter how careful I am.
It only happens on a wake. If I shut the screen off and turn it back on I have no issues. Very annoying
I've been having the same problem and searching to see if I'm the only one! Are you full stock?
I'm using the stock deodex ROM and Perseus kernel.

I do not use the power save mode. Cant figure out but since I am using the jelly thunder ROM I havent had this issue.
If you're getting the same problem even without a screen protector, it must be a defective one. If you can easily simulate the problem you should go to ATT store to get a replacement. It may have a defective touch digitizer, too.
yeah i get this after installing a screen protector
and now after installing a rom, the pen selects even though i am not touching the screen.
I also have the same problem.
I am running the stock rom, with no mods. Like you, this typically only arises when awaking the phone first time in the morning. Thereafter, throughout the day, the pattern lock will correctly not appear.
I also have this problem still. I already replaced my device twice.. I'm on tmobile by the way.
I'm not rooted and no screen protector.

Are you running stock? Rom? Do you have any app notifications set to "wake" the phone. Also, try ES Task Manager and see what is running when the phone wakes up.

I am stock deodexed lk8 rooted. all notifications should wake the phone (waking is when the software starts processing, not necessarily when the screen turns on)

It shouldn't...unless you allow lots of stuff to run in the background. What is issuing partial wakelocks on your device? Things like Sprint Connections Optimizer, and network-based location will bleed you dry in useless partial wakelocks.
Even leaving data sync-age on, wifi on, GPS on shouldn't unless you're phone is constantly getting email/text notification pings.

Screen flicker in sun with keyboard popped up?

I have tested this with two of these phones and it is confirmed there for sure. I live in Miami Florida there is a lot of Sun here so I have no problem testing this. Within any app if I am in the Sun and it is directly hitting my screen and my keyboard is popped up my screen flickers it's not a super bad Flicker it's light but it's definitely there looks like your screen is blinking really fast. I'm going to try on as many of these devices as I can but can anyone tell me if they are experiencing the same?

I definately recall seeing it. I know exactly what you are talking about. I don't see it anymore so either my kernel (ktoonsez) fixed it or it was a bloat app.
I can confirm the issue on my I9500. Its not only limited when under the sun, also happens when you turn the brightness level all the way down. I'm still on stock kernel, maybe custom kernel may solve the issue. No settings in stock has mitigated or fixed this issue for me.
The people who are seeing this, have you turned off "Adapt Display" ?
