[Q] Anybody else's screen shut off randomly from time to time?

My screen will sometimes shut off after only a few seconds, long before the set timeout, and it doesn't seem to be tied to any specific activity. I could be browsing the web, on the xda app, sometimes at a menu screen of a game, it doesn't seem to matter. When this happens, the power button brings me right back to what I was doing, not going to the lock screen. I'd say it happens 5-10 times a day. It's not that big a deal to me, more of an annoyance than anything. Anybody else experiencing this?
Me too

Bummer! I've been fortunate with my device/roms, haven't had any problems except one week my notification light would shut off while charging for long periods of time. On calks 2.8.1

I figured out what was causing it- power saving mode. I turned that off, the problem went away.

Google now bug

Every time I long press the home button and it opens the google now it crashes, it simply does nothing until I turn off the screen and on again, after turning on the screen again it works normal but it happens every time and it's becoming annoying. Does this happen to someone else but me?

[Q] Power button lag, from screen off.

Just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing a lag for the screen to turn on from a booted phone with screen off. I'm on fw 4.4.2 nuts stipped version. It can take up 8 to ten seconds for the screen to turn on sometimes other times a couple of seconds, if so has anyone found a fix for this other than wait for 233. Ps it only happens when swipe or security enabled for lock screen. With option none all works ok

screen pixelating

I've had my Tmobile G4 for almost 2 weeks now and the screen pixelates every single day. The weird thing is it only happens on the bottom left corner of the screen and the size of the pixelation varies. It happens more often when I'm watching videos or playing games. I'd take a screenshot but it's almost impossible to capture because it happens randomly and so fast that I'd have to hold the power and volume down button before it happens in order to capture it.
Is anyone else experiencing these issues? I prefer trying to fix it than bringing it to the Tmobile store where I'd stand for 10-20 minutes waiting for it to happen so they'll believe me.

Turning screen off while in messages app causes phone call

So, I'm habitual about turning off my screen. I've noticed that occasionally if I leave the screen on the native messages app, and hit the power button to turn off the screen, it will sometimes trigger a phone call. The only way I can catch it in time is when I feel the phone vibrate.
Has anyone else have this problem? It's driving me a little crazy, because I can't seem to replicate it, it just happens spontaneously.
Not in the few times I tried it. I honestly don't like any of the Samsung built-ins so I only tried the message app for a few days. Like you I do usually hit the power button by habit mostly, but never noticed that.
