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?

Which custom kernel? And try safemode to see if problem still persists. If safemode fixes it it is an app

I'm using Holy dragon Kernel.
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
Here are some more that hopefully caught whatever is happening.

I uninstalled a bunch of apps that I don't use on a daily basis. I removed all of the above plus Verizon message, Allo, Duo, Tapatalk, Forest river forums, NFL mobile, NFL network, ESPN, and maybe a few others Display still randomly turns on.
This is so annoying that I can't figure out what keeps turning the display on.

Honestly not sure. I just use the settings that come with the kernel.
We'll that could potentially be the problem. Try it with the stock kernel for testing?

The best way to try it without losing anything imo.
Just "fastboot flash-all.bat" after you open the .bat and editing out the "-w".

Well that sums it up only a factory reset to try now.
If it still persist then your phone is fubar.

I did a full wipe last night. So far so good but it's early yet.
Four hours and still no sign of display randomly turning on. I installed magisk and my custom kernel. So far I only turned on/logged into apps I needed right now.

I think I've identified a way to reproduce a wakelock bug on this phone... Running LJ3 (BTU UK unbranded).
0) Install BetterBatteryStats (you can find it at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809) Set it up and get it working, so you can see any wakelocks...
1) Put phone into vibrate mode from the notification "pulldown"
2) Reboot the phone (long-press power, choose restart, hit OK)
3) Leave the phone after it's rebooted and you've done anything you do (ie. putting in PINs).
Look back in maybe 10 minutes, and check CPU States since boot, to see how much time was spent in deep sleep. If it's 0%, my theory might be correct... Then go to kernel wakelocks, and see if you have a massive AudioOut wakelock.
It seems to clear if you toggle vibrate mode off and then on again. A reboot not in vibrate mode certainly seems to clear it for me.
Anyone able to reproduce this? Lenny said he could on silent mode, but I've only tried vibrate... Let us know below if you manage to reproduce this bug or not, and what ROM you are using.
I had a audio_out2 wakelock on stock rooted phone,
I switched off screen lock sound and every thing is ok

Yup, can you remember if it was a "100%" wakelock? it's normal to get a small bit of wakelock if you use these sounds. I have ALL sounds disabled on mine, and it's in vibrate.
my device didn't have it , my mom device has it both use same firmware ( LJ3)
BTW all sound setting is the default on both
maybe its bug with an app cuzzing the wakelock

Has to be something else too because I use mine in total silent not even vibrate mode and I still get this wakelock!

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.

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.

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..

Then it looks like a bug on the phone system.
I've only noticed this since running the August security updated and its happened across three ROMs so far (Screwed, Pure Nexus, LOS (No gapps)). Sometimes the screen takes for ever to power up. Once it is up the lock screens responsiveness varies greatly. Not always in the same instance as the screen issue but when unlocking the device it will momentarily freeze. Sometimes locking itself again..
Curious if anyone has seen anything similar.
How are you restoring your apps when you flash a ROM? If you restore them from a Google cloud backup you could be restoring corrupted data that is causing the problem. I had that happen when a utility app completely screwed up the scrolling on my phone. I did a factory reset but restored my phone from a cloud backup and the problem came back exactly the same. The next day I did another factory reset but set up the phone as new and manually downloaded my apps from the Play Store. This time the problem was gone.

I'm not sure if that could cause the same problem but presumably you are restoring app data along with the apps so it might be possible. Have you tried using the phone in safe mode to see if the problem still persists? It seems unlikely that what you are experiencing is a known issue with the August security update since we are more than halfway through the month without anyone else reporting a similar issue.

So I was experiencing REALLLY SLOW screen turn ons. Like it could take 30+ seconds. But the phone was awake as my LED was on, and fingerprint haptic feedback.
When looking for solutions, I found this post. I use Auto Hide Soft Keys, to hide my status bar and nav bar when I dont need them. When disabling (and even after re-enabling), the problem was fixed (for now anyways)
Can you elaborate on this post? Do you have some experience with nav bar hiding causing slow screen turn ons?

PROBLEM SOLVED
Mate 20X (EVR-AL00; Build no. 9.0.0.136). I left my phone at home while downloading the new games via our Wi-Fi. But when I got back, I noticed that it has not downloaded any more data since I left it.
The culprit? The option Stay connected when device sleeps under the battery settings is DISABLED (neither ON nor OFF). Anyone else has this experience? What can be done about it?

@the_passerby5981 I figured it out, and boy your going to hate sending yours back, I was right, it is tied to something. I kept thkinking and kept coming back to this thread knowing you and I were missing something, and I found it from your screenshot and others, then tested it on mine and bingo. The reason its disabled is because it is tied to the SIM card. So that setting is tied to a sim card, and it didnt work on yours or mine because we were both testing it out without a SIM, and as soon as I put mine in to see if I was right, it enabled to turn on or off.

Android 8 had the option under WLAN and option to disable staying connected to WLAN and MOBILE as separate.
In Android 9, they are baked together under Battery. Thus, Stay awake when device sleeps gets DISABLED WHEN NO SIM IS INSERTED.

Yes I have the same Phone and build number but I can toggle the "stay connected when device is asleep"tab on and off
1. So, there are about 5 users here with the same model number (EVR-AL00) and build number (9.0.0.136). Some can toggle "Stay connected while device sleeps", while--like me--hughey2k2 cannot. I cannot.
2. If it were a software problem, then all of us should have the same experience.
3. Does this point to, possibly, a hardware-related problem peculiar to the specific production batch? (Just to spell it out I mean, hughey2k2's phone were produced in the batch and there was a problem in production--possibly hardware--that could be the cause).
Comments?
EDIT: hughey2k2's unit does not have the same problem.
