I have stock (rooted then unrooted) JC with APEX launcher. It sounds crazy but my phone screen doesn't turn off by itself.
There are several times I woke up in the morning to find out my phone screen was on overnight (screen must have turned on when I plugged in the charger). Right now, I turned on my phone just to see if the screen would turn off at 1) lock screen 2) apex home screen. neither works.
I tried all these with different timeout settings (15 sec, 30 sec, 1min, etc.).
Anyone having the same problem? Anyone with solution?

Yes rebooting always solves the issue but can i get a permanent fix? It's kinda annoying. I'm on GT-N7100 JB4.1.2 and i've never rooted.
Kinda glad i wasnt the only one having this issue. Happened to me yesterday. Kinda freaked me out as i dont want anything wrong with this phone.. reboot worked for me yesterday.
On a side note.. every once in awhile my youtube app goes to **** and it refuses to play videos.. it says network error yet i can do everything else... reboot fixes that too.

Yeah no kidding. I really don't want anything to go wrong with my phone. But unfortunately it has been kinda buggy from day one. A minor issue with the stock keyboard was solved after the 4.1.2 update. But the weird error with the Quick Commands thingy ain't getting sorted out, even after the update. Of course, reboots also never help.
Oh someone please tell me what's wrong with my phone The screen timeout thingy ain't working An unattended message or missed call means my display stays on till I turn it off manually A reboot would solve the issue but then it would come back again. Any permanent fix? Please help I've never rooted my phone.

Uninstall any apps that keep your screen on or go through the apps list and kill everything individually. imediashare keeps my screen on after I'm done using it cause it still wants to stay running.

Went through the 124 apps that had WAKE_LOCK permission. (Used Permission Explorer). If I count out the recently installed apps before which the problem had originally started, I guess there aren't any suspicious apps. Oops Aren't there any apps that forces the display to go off? ^_^

I'm just throwing it out there by maybe go into recovery and fix permissions? Clear the cache? Factory reset if all else fails I guess.

Hi. Having the same problem... However, i believe it has to do with the feature that prevents screen from turning off if you are looking at it. Try to turn it off and on. Perhaps it will help.
If you continue to have problems, just disable that feature... it is a good adon, but having the screen turn off tose battery is more important.
Hope it helps.
Let us know if it worked out
I randomly realized my G4 wasn't rotating the screen anymore and I have since tried everything - factory resetting, calibrating the sensor (doesn't work) and even the banging phone on table method, none are successful.
This may indicate that it is a hardware issue but if I hold the phone landscape and open the camera the buttons do rotate, but if I rotate whilst already inside the app nothing changes so I'm not exactly sure what is going on. When I use the app CPU-Z to track the accelerometer value it stays static until I turn the screen off and move the phone a bit, when I turn it on the value changes again but stays still.
Any idea what the cause is??
does booting into safe mode make any difference (i know you said factory reset, but I'm curious).
Also, probably won't, but is there any difference whilst the phone is charging?
Throwing this out there. Did you debloat? On the Samsung models, if you uninstall the Hub app, rotation gets broken for some weird reason. I don't know what that would be on the G4, but maybe? Just a random guess.

I believe I did remove a few apps but since I factory reset and flashed a fresh image I believe they should be restored?

Not necessarily. I know a factory reset doesn't restore any previously removed apps, and flashing factory a fresh image depends on how it's flashed I've discovered. Only a CSC restores the phone to factory specs, while other methods didn't for me.

Safe mode didn't help, and I actually don't know which ones I removed but they looked pretty normal, how do I check or compare vs stock?

I think I recall seeing a debloat list somewhere. See if you can find it and compare what you've got. I'm not saying this is the problem, but it could be.

Yeah I found a few lists but they only have apps that are safe to remove and don't warn or mention possible ones that cause problems which I may have already removed

I had the exact problem a few weeks ago, thought my hardware was already flaking. Don't remember what I did to get it working, but it wasn't overly complex.. Rebooting didn't help, I think I pulled the battery, waited a bit, and then rebooted and then went to calibration from there.
Do you happen to have xposed installed by the way?

Hey thanks for your reply, I am trying now the battery pulling method, did you then calibrate through the sensor in display settings?
And yeah I do, hmm not sure if it stopped working after that actually.. but I remember after I flashed a fresh .kdz even without xposed it still doesn't work.

Yea would have been the calibration from the regular settings.
As for xposed, flashing a kdz will keep user data and settings.. It might have been gravitybox causing the issue for me, which if you uninstall that, reboot and reinstall it, might help. Same goes for any other modules you had enabled.

Yeah I have I don't even know there are signs that point towards it being a hardware or a software issue tbh.
Problem happened to me too. Started yesterday, sometimes worked, sometimes stuck on portrait.
Shutting down and pulling the battery for a few seconds seems to do the trick. It works properly now..
Have you been used apps which could calibrate the accelerometer before?
etc. some games that needs to be controlled by rotating the phone on its axis..

Me? Not that I know. Some new apps yes, but still proper screen rotation.
This problem happened on my g4 today...
Stock ROM?
LG 4 not rotating??
quick fix which worked for me was just take the battery out, wait 30 seconds, put back in switch on and problem solved...
hope this helps guys.... regards Steve
sometimes when i pick up my phone and press the power button to turn it on,i find the screen is black and i can t do anything but press power and vol + to reboot.
then the phone works fine again but of course this is quite annoying to happen and it happens maybe one or two times daily
it started happening when i upgraded to 5.1.1.
in 5.0 and 4.4 phone behaved fine.
how to find what causes screen to turn black when i try to turn it on?
does somebody faced this also?
any helpful idea?

Phone stock? Rooted? Recovery? Etc... I've never experienced it, but with modded phones, cache wipe fixes these types of things often

I don't know much in that realm, but I read this one time - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34960691 - looks interesting if you know what you're doing. Anyway, all I really had to offer is attempting a cache wipe, which you probably tried. Besides that, if it happens consistently, you could experiment with disabling Xposed modules one at a time, for a day or so, and see if that reveals it. I have gotten black screen before from installing incompatible modules before, but it would just boot to the black screen. I haven't had it happen only occasionally like that. My guess would definitely be somewhere with Xposed. Maybe something clashing with built-in settings, ( I don't remember what it's called, but there's something that senses when yo pick up the phone, and it wakes up automatically - that kind of thing).

thanks mate i m working on it and i ll repopt back if i solve it and how or need more help
SOLVED:after a lot of testing found out that my problem was xposed framework v74-sdk22.
from the moment i installed xposeeed v75-sdk22 everything works as it should,not a single reboot and phone is rebooting faster also and no lag as i used to have before,fingers crossed it won t show up again:good:
Good evening, just lately I have encountered a bug when trying to install APK's. When I go to install via Package Installer it will open up the screen and when I go to press next it doesn't do anything, I have tried rotating the screen and pressing Next and it just doesn't work whatsoever...
I powered off my device and powered back on and this seemed like it fixed the problem.
Is/has anyone else encountered this? I've also noticed ometimes when typing on the keyboard the sound goes tinny for 5 seconds or so and go back to normal, it's been like this since unboxing too.
I haven't had this issue exactly, but when I install a new app and it asks for permission to access my location/storage/etc.. I can't press Allow.. I can press Deny though no problem at all. Right now I'm manually going into apps/permissions and granting all my apps whatever I think it needs.. Just a pain to do it that way though!
I had this issue the other night. It seems an invisible overlay gets stuck sometimes. Not sure what app or why, but clearing all the recent apps fixed it for me. Try that if it happens again instead of waiting for the phone to restart.

Also had this problem two days ago and restarting seemed to fix it. I was disabling some of the stock apps at the time so I wondered if that had something to do with it but I don't know, don't think I re-enabled any of the apps or anything before or after the reboot and so far it's been working since.

I'd like to mention I have disabled and uninstalled quite a lot too, but I can't say if this adds to the problem. It'd just be really nice to hopefully get the new build of software that was recently announced on Xperia Blog but I can't say if this will fix the problems etc. I don't know? ??

I've experienced this issue as well and the culprit seemed to be an overlay permission from another app. As I'm sure everyone knows, this phone's screen is very bright even at it's lowest setting. I like to read at night and the light bothers my wife so I started using an app called Nightowl that further dims the screen. Nightowl produces a overlay that dims the entire screen. If i happen to be running nightowl and try to install the app, I can't tap install. Once I turn off the app I'm able to install like normal. Hope that helps lead you in the right direction as restarting the phone every time a problem presents itself is kind of a bummer.
SOLVED. See my last post.
No notification or anything. It turned on with Benzo rom and now I am on fresh stock with a custom kernel and it still turns on. How do I monitor the device to determine what might be causing it to turn on? It started with March update. I didn't have this issue on the January update.
Is there an app I can install to see what turns the display on or is this something I must do on a pc?

I put the device in Safe Mode for most of the day and never saw the display turn on like before. So it must be an app. How would I go about narrowing down which app is causing the problem?

To grab logs you can use either just make sure if you use an app you grant it root permissions
Here are two screenshots I took after the screen turned on with no notifications present. I have no clue what to look for. Hopefully this helps. Is the whole log needed? I turn Matlog on and then turn the screen off until the "error" happens. Then I turn screen on and do the screenshot.

That is exactly what you should've done. I will have a look and maybe we can find the problem. A list of your apps would make it quite a bit easier too
