Has anyone found a fix for their screen staying on?

I know its been reported with jelly bean that the screen is unable to turn off normally and you have to push the power button to turn it off. Currently the only fix I know of is a reboot. Anyone with any other tips??

Mine works fine, did you flash any mods or some kind of lock screen app?

Yes, I'm on Wicked Sensations v1.2 right now. But i've read that a few people have been having this issue with JB. I just started using XDA so I can't post on the OP yet so thats why I posted here. Was just hoping for some feedback and opinions. I have flashed a few mods on it, but none seem to be the problem...i dont think. haha

Settings > display > screen timeout..
Is it set to 10 minutes? Cause that would do it

Yeah that was the first setting I tried, changed it to 15 sec to see if it works and it still stayed awake
Thanks!

haha I got tired of guessing what 'could' be causing the problem so I did a clean wipe and flash and it hasn't happened since
Thanks

I thought that may be been the culprit but the setting was off
Thanks

I'm having the same problem
I am not rooted and running stock jelly bean (ota version that I installed early because I was too impatient for them to push it to my phone). I have noticed my screen randomly staying on, too. It's very annoying because sometimes I don't notice until my battery is dead. A reboot fixes it temporarily, but I'd love a permanent fix if anyone has any additional ideas! Thanks! I've tried all the obvious settings, but can't figure it out. Is there an app that can help me figure out what the culprit might be?
(And can I just say, an edit to a post ought not fall under the "wait five minute" rule for new posters. Just my two cents .)

Use an app called Stay Awake. Works great for me.

Can the freeze be related to an action or a period of time? Which version of Franco's kernel are you using?

I didnt find any special action that causes the freeze. I am using r365.

Same version as I use. Hm. Do these random freezes happen often? What is your baseband version?
You could try the new safe mode feature? It will temporary disable all third party apps. If that solves the problem, it is a misbehaving app and not ROM/kernel related.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Same baseband as I'm using. Safe mode can be enabled by long pressing the shutdown option from the power button menu.

What ROM are you on. Franco 4.2.2 kernel only works on fully ,merged 4.2.2 Roms meaning that myspider and fingerprints have to be 4.2.2 also. This is at least from my experience. I was getting the same thing on Roms that were not fully merged.

I know this sounds basic but it can often be overlooked.
Would that be the screen lock sound? That can be toggled in the sound settings menu.
If its not, then im not sure what else would be causing it.

Landscape and portrait jacked up

I'm running liquidsmooth rc8 with a touchwiz launcher and I just flashed the ASDK 4.1 final earlier. Everything was running fine until I went to send a msg and I'm holding the phone upright but it goes into landscape mode. When I turn it sideways it goes into portrait mode. I did a reboot, toggled auto rotate on and off and back on and it would fix itself for a minute then go back to the problem. Anybody else had this or know of a fix?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

Anybody? It never had this problem before I installed the ASDK kernel. However it wasn't right away with the new kernel. It was a few hours after I installed it

Try flashing the fix in this thread it should work idk why its not included in the kernel though http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779819

You Sir are a godsend. This seems to have done the trick. If it stops and there's no fixer for the fixer of the fix, then I'm screwed

[4.3]Fix for Wifi Scanning (Testers needed)

As many of you know, since the 4.3 update, WiFi on the galaxy nexus stops automatically scanning after going into deep sleep. The only way to get it to scan again is to go into the WiFi menu or toggle it on and off. Let's try to find which change in 4.3 broke this on the galaxy nexus.
I have been looking through the changes that have been made between 4.2 and 4.3 to how wifi is handled and may have found what is causing the issue.
I think I may have found something. In /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant_overlay.conf
Theres a line:
disable_scan_offload=1 (has to do with allowing scanning to be offloaded to the driver)
This line didn't exist in 4.2.2. Change it to 0 and reboot and see if your wifi scanning doesn't stop working after a while.
I just ran an errand and it connected perfect when I got home which is usually when it stops working. I need further testing but would appreciate some more testers to see if there's a real change in behavior.

I will make a backup and try this. I'll report back what I see when I've had time to see. Thanks for the effort.

No its not fixed in 4.3.1. I am on cm10.2 4.3.1 and without this modification it definitely stopped scanning today.

Would it be possible to find a fix for the data hand off issue using the same thought process? A simple edit to a text file and problem solved? Wouldn't that be nice!

Unfortunately I had it stop scanning yesterday. I gotta look more deeply.

I don't quite understand what you mean by this. Are you saying that if you go into deep sleep WiFi just stops working or something?
Are you by chance thinking of this?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42665427&postcount=2459
Also in WiFi settings on 4.3 there are more options there than there was with 4.2, just try looking through them, I believe there's even ones for battery savings or something. Also is a setting to allow WiFi to turn itself on to get a more accurate location automatically or something, among other things.
