When you push the power button and see that your screen is inverted, then.... with the screen still on, hold your phone tight and give it a hard flick of the wrist. This has worked twice for me.
Running Calkulin's 2.6, Overstew's ICS AIO, Launcher Pro
Is this working for anyone running different setups?
can anyone verify that I wasn't drunk when I wrote this? The wife says I didn' t do anything today but get ripped. I told her I helped a lot people...just not her.
I have had the screen invert once... I just rebooted...
I have also had my entire screen go magenta for some strange reason...
The screen "appears" to be inverted... but it isnt... at least not to the phone. unlock the screen with the same manner you always would even though the visual cues are wrong. What ever lockscreen you are on, just do the same motion again. then once in the normal home screen, rotate it around a few times and it corrects itself.
I know exactly what you are saying about being inverted but still fully functional....giving a shake a shake with the snap of the wrist solved the issue without playing games.
Download Spare Parts from the market and set "Window Animations" to "Fast." Haven't had the screen inversion problem since.
i had it one time and and using adw pro all i need to do is rotate my screen and it resets the orientation
Has anyone else noticed that when in a dark area, pressing the main button will turn on the screen but it will then automatically and immidiately turn off?
Several times I've gotten into a battle with the phone only to lose, turning it on and it turns off, then turning it on again and so on...
To compound the issue, in these situations it seems that double tap is signifigantly less responsive to activate the screen as well.
I'm pretty sure this phone is using some sort of facial recognition, it has smart stay doesnt it? I think it has gravity/accelerometer to turn on the screen when you pull it out of your pocket. In the back of my mind I'm thinking that since it cant see me it is shutting off but this doesnt seem consistent...
I'm running stock rom, rooted with twrp. Any ideas?
I have not experienced that. Did your G3 do that out of the box?

Never heard of it. Screen is set to auto off in 30 seconds. Change it to 2 min and you should be good. If u running without a case then maybe the hand is touching the edges of screen this will also shut screen off in double tap.
BAD ASS G3

I didn't notice it until the last week or so. but I kind of feel like that was because I hadn't used the phone that much up until then. I didn't make any major changes to the phone immediately before I started noticing it either, I had already had it rooted for about a week. I feel like the stock rom does have some glitches to it.
The G3 does have a "smart screen" feature that detects your face (Settings > Display). Disable that and see if it helps.
I've not run into this in the dark but have when I try and use my arm band holder when running. The holder covers the ambient light sensor so the phone thinks it was accidentally turned on like in a pocket and shuts right off. Super annoying.
Noticed similar behavior when the phone is in my bike mount at night. Basically it's acting like the proximity sensor is covered. In my bike mount's case, it is covered by a clear screen cover, but normally that doesn't trigger the proximity sensor. But when it's very dark out (not under a street light etc.), it seems to think it's blocked and turns itself off. Annoying.

Have you tried disabling smart stay as sublimaze recommended?

Tried but remains the same... This was the only thread I found concerning this.
Ive had this issue too investigating now
Had that issue when I was using the lock screen face unlock. In the dark it didn't see my face and then it shut off. Setting is in lock screen section

Lol.
I have the same issue EVERY night. Why is that? It's very annoying
Same issue here
it seemed to resolve itself when I factory reset my phone
but after I got my apps reinstalled from my google backup it started again
so it seems like it's a software issue - not sure to which app it is related to
let me know if you find a fix - this is quite annoying
Me too. I've been facing this issue at night, when it's very dark.
Me and my buddy were in the car during a roadtrip and it was very dark, I mean like: No lights outside, no lights inside the car, the double tap feature didn't even work to begin with and whenever I tried to use the "Power Button" It would come on and then suddenly 'boom' Turn off, now this would happen a few times until it stays on. Weird...
I just experienced this myself, first time I've seen it happen in the 30 + G5's that I've sold. If it's in the dark it just doesn't turn on at all. I hope LG is fixing this. I'm about to Factory Reset it right now and hope for the best! Someone else mentioned that this is the only forum that is disccusing this issue. It must be a very few that are effected. I'm testing another one as we speak.
Has this issue been resolved? My friend's G3 also has this issue. Day time no problem. When it is dark the screen wont' stay on.
Same problem, no fix yet
Same problem here - Pointing it at any light and pressing the power button will turn it on. (As will plugging it into power). Tried tinkering with all sorts of settings (face recognition/auto dimming feature/etc) nothing worked. Tried factory reset, that didn't work either.
My issue started after i had my screen replaced (by a shady shop) who probably didn't do a good job of packing it back together....I'm going to see if I can have someone open it up and clean it out a bit..
I have the same issue on my G3. Even if you're under the covers in bed, the thing doesn't turn on until it gets light. It basically doesn't turn on in the dark through double tap and actually not even with the power button. It could become a safety hazard for someone in an emergency situation.

I have also same problem. No solution yet.
I just got my Pixel yesterday and started having this issue, so I thought I'd check in with the fine folks at XDA.
I had Ambient display set to "always on" and "double-tap to check phone" set to on. After a while of being in my pocket, the screen will be black when I pull it out. Double-tap to wake does not work and it never comes on. The only way I can wake the phone after that is the fingerprint reader or power button (which I never use on my Android phones). It seems like Ambient display is going to sleep due to the proximity sensor and then just not waking up.
I changed it to lift to wake and the problem is mostly gone, but I would rather have ambient display on all the time. This is brand new out of the box. It's not rooted or anything. I haven't even unlocked the bootloader.
My OnePlus 6t was doing something similar (to a lesser degree) and it drove me crazy. This is something I need to work consistently. I expect to take my phone out of my pocket, glance at the AOD, and then tap twice to wake it and interact with the lockscreen. That's how I use all of my phones.
I just wanted to see if anyone else is having the issue. I haven't wiped it because, really, it's been doing this since I took it out of the box (new). And I have seen some other scattered reports online. Rebooting also did not resolve it.
This has happened to me a couple of times. Quite annoying.
Yeah, I have this problem too. Another bug...
Yep. Happens to me fairly frequently
It started happening to me recently too.
Thanks for the confirmation, guys. Glad I'm not crazy. This may actually be a deal-breaker for me, though. I'm pretty anal about the consistency of tap-to-wake on my devices.
My phone keeps waking up, not to the ambient display but to the OG lock screen, it happens within 10 to 20 seconds after turning the screen off, and keeps happening over and over again. I guess it must be a third party app because it doesn't happen in safe mode, so my question is, is there an app I can use to determine the culprit? I don't see any option to disable third-party apps, only uninstall them, which is highly inconvenient, to keep uninstalling apps to see if they are keeping the phone awake, then having to reinstall them if they don't seem to be the culprit.
Is anybody else having this problem?
I got lucky on a Google search and learned that it was the Ring app! Apparently there's been a little bug where it turns the screen on even when it's not supposed to give you a notification.
Hello.
I'm having a weird issue when occasionally while I'm using phone, it locks me out into lock screen. It happens several times a day and even while I'm interacting with the screen like during scrolling.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this and maybe have a tip what could cause it or how I can trace it without going through disabling apps or resetting settings?
Thank you.
