The screen turns on for a few seconds and turns off. There are no notifications and I do not have any type of alerts set. Ideas?
Have you installed any third part apps lately?
Honestly, the best thing would be to do a factory reset, so that you can figure out if it is hardware related or software.

Hey guys so my Tilt 2 has been having an issue when I put it to sleep. It goes to sleep fine, but when I wake it up the screen remains black. The actual device turns on, but the screen stays black. I can still make calls, receive calls, play music, etc. but I have to soft reset the device if I want to be able to see what I am doing.
From what I can tell my problem is different from the normal Sleep of Death issue where the device simply won't wake up.
I've searched through the forums looking for solutions and have tried pretty much everything from doing a hard reset, using different roms, formatting the internal memory, etc. Even after doing all of this, my device still suffers from this issue.
Any insight into my problem would be greatly appreciated!
I assume you've tried a simple reset using the reset button or pulling the battery out and putting it back in?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah every time I the screen goes black I soft reset it in order to get the screen to turn back on. The problem is that the issue persists through soft resets. I currently can't suspend my device because I can't get the screen to turn back on...
hold down the volume down button and then press the reset button (the physical reset button) this should bring you into your bootscreen the multicoloured screen.. if you can get there then you can flash a new rom on your phone... and thats a whole other ball game. It gets a lot of hype as being hard but its really super easy to do if you just follow the directions.
Tilt 2 dark screen solved
With the tilt 2, if the screen does not wakeup, but you can answer the phone, hear music, etc..., it is a malfunctioning light sensor, maybe hardware, or software related (drivers), but it is fixable. Just eliminate all calls for use of the light sensor.
I had this problem and took quite a while to figure it out, as there are several apps that poll the light sensor that cause problems.
First, go to start/settings/system/power/backlight and uncheck the auto adjust backlight option
Second, go to start/settings/personal/buttons/backlight and uncheck the enable keyboard auto backlight sensor.
Last, open advanced config (need to download and install from touchxperience.com, if you do not have it), tab to light sensor and set light sensor polling to disabled.
Now, my phone works normal and will wake up properly from standby like it should. this all seems hardware dependant, as I have in my family 3 of these things and I dropped and broke mine, so bought a new one (4th in the series) and it had the SOD issues, but could restart with softrest. Took me the better part of the day to find a reliable fix, but now all is well again.
Hope this helps other Tilt 2 and similar issues.
Apologies if this has been addressed before, but I searched and couldn't find something exactly like this...
Randomly one of 3 screen issues seems to be occuring on a daily basis:
1) Auto-Rotate stops working. Cannot get screen to rotate without reset (Yes, I've made sure auto-rotate is on in settings)
2) Screen will not Auto-Off. Even if I change settings to 15 secs, screen will not turn itself off. I have to manually turn it off. And, if I receive a text or any kind of notification it will light up again and stay on indefinitely.
3) Screen will not turn back on when trying to wake up device. Hitting the home button and power button both have no effect. Although the LED is usually blinking, and it seems the phone is still on.
For all 3 of the above issues, manually pulling out the battery and reseting the phone that way seems to always work. But, this is an annoying process to have to go through on a daily basis.
Also, I've noticed that these 3 symptoms don't occur simultaneously. For example, yesterday it wouldn't auto-off, but rotation would still work.
Not running any custom ROMs either
I seem to be having an issue with the screen turning on at random. I have Always-on screen set to ON and tilt-to-wake set to OFF, but the screen will turn on sometimes seemingly at random and multiple times in a row. I have done Factory Reset a couple of times and it does not help.
Is there anyone else with this occurance and is there a fix for it?

I have this issue too. I've tried several configurations and it keeps doing it.

Any apps that send a lot of notifications or any notifications that are automatically dismissed/very briefly show up? Can't think of anything else that would wake your watch.
No, not on mine.

I have the exact same issue. At first I thought it was tilt-to-wake having poor gesture recognition so I turned it off. However I noticed without touching the screen it would turn on and then turn off after the stand-by time. To verify that was the case I left it sitting on my desk all day and observed that it would in fact randomly turn on and off. I also noticed that when the issue occurs the battery life decreases rapidly.
Also this issue will continue to occur even in theater mode.
Have you find a solution yet? My smartwatch 3 does the screen turn on randomly and then also touch screen issue occurs, and it makes random touches, swipes going into settings and so on, without touching the screen. I'am on the latest wear version mwd49b.
For more info search on youtube for my video about this problem: Sony SmartWatch 3 screen problem.
I recently began having the same problem. The screen does not turn off after it randomly turns on - I have to manually press the button to turn it off. Needless to say, this tend to run down the battery. I did a factory reset this morning, but the problem persists.
EDITING POST JULY 20:
After factory reset, I actually had the watch doubly connected to the phone, so I have corrected that now. However the problem with the random turn-ons began occurring well before the factory reset. I'm not sure what triggers it, or what stops it, but when it begins to happen, it drains the battery very quickly. The problem only began recently (within the past few weeks), so I'm not sure what changed to bring this on.
A bug in Android Alarm Clock keep the watch active after alarm ring. Just corrected yesterday by an update on Google Alarm/Clock app.

Hi,
My phone's display goes completely white when I wake it up after being dormant. This started happening after I had the screen replaced and a full reset was done, but I am not certain if it is a software issue or a hardware issue.
The behaviour of the phone is as follows:
- Power ON: The phone powers up fine and boots up fine (display works as normal), and I can use the phone (call, text, play games, etc...)
- Now, when I let the phone go to sleep and then I wake it up, the screen goes from being completely off to being completely white. Kinda like one of those "flashlight apps" that don't use the flash...
- Same happens if I let the device go to sleep and a call comes in. In that case, the device wakes up as it rings, but the screen is completely white. If you know where the button to answer the call would be, you can actually answer the call though... So the screen is responsive, it just isnt displaying anything
So, I am looking to see if anyone has seen this in the past and what the cause may be. This happens with either the HTC ROM or Android.
FYI, the shop that did the screen replacement is not taking responsibility, so yes that sucks, etc... etc... No point discussing that.
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.
