screen auto on - Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers

Hi,
anyone experience that their screen will automatically switch on by itself? i saw it a couple of times, my phone is just beside me and the screen switches on with no notifications or anything

I've had this where I will softly throw the phone onto a bed or something and the screen comes on. Or place it down on a table.
I figured something is just setting off either the power button or the double tap gesture.
I don't think too much of it really.
Dunno if software or hardware bug

TF3D launches at startup but have to tap screen to display home screen.

When I boot up after reset or power off, the homescreen displays top task bar, bottom soft keys, and displays "launching TouchFlo3D..." and then... nothing. The screen stays like this until I tap it, and then it displays the home screen. Anybody else seeing this?
Even when just switching it on from a while on standby, I get a black screen.
I press the home or start buttons, and the home screen comes on ...... when it feels like it
I have never got no one to answer a question on here good luck...

Does touching the screen make it start?
I know that not turning off TF3D before installing some cabs can make it behave oddly- TF3D restarts, fails to launch at boot, etc...
Mine does the same thing except its just a plain screen until I touch it then it says launching tflo
Might have something to do with locking the device with a PIN/password. Try to disable that and see if many of your problems go away (switching to home screen on coming out of sleep or turning the screen on when in call and taking the phone away from the ear etc).

It has something to do with the PIN lock code, you're right.. now we just need someone to look into this further who knows how to troubleshoot these issues from the back-end.
Bump for more answers!

so i've tried checking on/off Today/Item/TF3D, tried Flight Mode, and it still won't work. i'm talking like only 30-50% of the time it does work. and I never had PIN1 enabled!
i'm no programmer but it is conflicting with apps we install because TF3D works perfectly when the phone was fresh or hard-resetted. btw i'm using 6.1 Stock T-mobile

Calls being dismissed by lock screen.

Hello,
Loving my desire but this problem is really annoying,
Every time I take the phone out of my pocket it's slide the phone upwards so the call is being dismissed.
Any chance I can change that?
I'm running a rooted phone.
Thanks.
I agree on this, It's quite annoying.
I've seen some apps that change the lockscreen, but most of them consume memory and/or a lot of battery power. A free app would be preferred.
why isnt your screen off? when you go to put the desire in your pocket press the power button on the device quickly and it will turn your screen off and also lock it, there is no need to have the screen on whilst in your pocket is there? this is also power saving on your phone, hitting the power button again will then switch it to the lock screen once you have taken it out of your pocket.

This is when a call comes in. When a call comes on the phone wakes from sleep mode.

[Q] Screen wont turn on after it turns off. ATT Tilt 2

Everytime I boot my phone up, it works fine up until when the screen goes into sleep mode. Once it goes into sleep mode I cannot turn the screen back on, it stays black. The keyboard, end and answer key lights show up when I press the power button but the screen just stays black no matter what button I press.
I end up having to either take the battery out or using the stick to press the reset button on the side in order to get the phone to where I can see the screen again. I have adjusted the settings to where the screen doesnt go into sleep mode and the screen just stays on but that drains my battery. I want to be able to have my screen go off so I can save power but if it goes off it wont come on again until I reboot.
I have done a hard reset. This problem started happening to me when I started using the Energy Rom but I've even flashed different Roms and the problem still exist.
Somebody please tell me what's wrong! I need help! This is a big annoying problem to have. Thanks.
is this problem occurring when you slide the keyboard out?
i had the t-mobile touch pro2 with this problem.
the screen would die when the keyboard was out and not come back.
if this is the case, what i did was...
well. obviously not open the keyboard fully.
but if i accidentally had.
instead of pulling out the battery, i waited...
till the screen 'naturally' went to sleep.
than i would pull out the stylus or press power button
and the screen would come on.

Yes the problem still exist even when I slide the keyboard out. Once the screen goes off, that's it....pressing the power button to get it out of sleep mode, sliding the keyboard, I press all buttons and nothing works. The only thing that "works" to get the screen back on is removing the battery or using the stylus to press the reset button.
When sliding the keyboard out the keys light up but the screen doesn't come on, also pressing the power button lights up the end and answer keys without the screen coming on.

so. whenever the screen goes out, period, you cant get it back?
or the screen goes out and cant get it back once you slide the keyboard out?
if it is only when sliding out the keyboard...
try not opening the keyboard fully on the right side.
on my rhodium, after that point, the screen goes out.

Yes, period. Also, you know when you put your face to the phone during a call and the screen goes off so your face wont press anything on the screen? It doesn't come back on from that either once I end the phone call, it just stays black. I'm assuming you don't have any other suggestions. This Sucks

This has to be a software issue but I don't know where to start. I'm surprised nobody else has encountered this problem. I've grown frustrated of this issue because I don't understand why it's doing this. I have had the phone for almost 6 months only dropping it once 4 months ago and it wasn't a strong damaging drop that would affect anything inside. I guess I'll just have to go last resort and call warranty to swap the phone out. Thanks for the help.
Same problem

My phone also dos not come back on, when I put it in out the sreen with the power button on top, or when the phone goes to sleep. Nothing can put it back on(opening te keyboard, pulling out the stylis, presing the answer-, windows-, back- and end button). I and up using a music players too keep the phone busy what's makes it operational. Cant really remember when this started happening exactly. My phone is at the moment loaded with a standard ROM. I used too have a custom ROM.
My TP2 does this too, although I only encounter the problem sometimes when someone calls. I answer and put the phone next to my ear, the screen goes black as it should and the phone just dies. I can't hear what the other person is saying and the screen wont turn on anymore. I have to take out the battery to reboot.
set light sensor to manual in settings. You have some bad or fragmented code causing the problem. Pretty common actually, many different reasons, but usually either a bad light or proximity sensor or software issue. Setting the sensor to manual should do it, if not, hard reset and allow the phone to fully set up before touching it, to allow full customization process to complete. Search my posts on SOD (sleep of death) for more information.
Funny this was brought up. Now im worried I just dropped 250.00 and have a new one coming.
Mine started with the ear piece quit working. couldnt hear anything except on speaker.
Anyway I started having the screen issue over a month ago, only way to get it back was soft reset with the stylus. Also when the screen was lit, I couldn't hit the power button to turn the screen off. At times the screen would be on 24/7 and I just dealt with it. The times when it decieded to go to sleep was when I needed the soft reset. Well long story short I forgot my charger one day at work and the battery died. after pressing the power button for hours with no response, moving the screen in all diffrent directions as I pressed the button.It came on once after hrs of messing with it. Well today it died again and I am fed up with it so out came the tools. Once I opened it up I noticed the ribbon that feeds the screen from the mother board was worn and torn. the ribbon slides everytime the keyboard is slid out and it rubs on both sides of the phone. I thought maybe mine was just a fluke and was installed wrong considering the phone being 10 months old but now I read this and see maybe its a common problem. The cheapest I could find the Ribbon was 56.00 so I didnt want to chance it not being the issue.

[Q] Weird problem with ambient mode

Hi guys, I bought a new zenwatch and am experiencing a weird issue. Occasionally, when the watch is in ambient mode, it is not responsive to touch. I turned off wrist gestures to wake up the device, and need to tap it to wake up. Sometimes I tap it and nothing happens at all, it stays in ambient mode. Pressing the power button at the back will wake up the device and it will function normally. It is just slightly annoying to have to press the power button which is on the back a few times a day. Any input to why this might be happening is appreciated.
I have the same problem, but sadly no solution. I've had the watch since Jan and it only recently started doing it, last month or so
At least its good to know I'm not the only one, probably a software bug.
Mine does that occasionally. I find that rotating it back and forth a couple of times (even though Tilt to Wake is switched off) before touching the screen clears it.
Mine did that just a little while ago. I do still have tilt to wake turned on, though, and after waking once that way, it's back to responding to taps now.
Also, selecting a different watchface from the phone seems to clear it.
Pretty sure it has something do to with the latest update. Maybe they are using more aggressive power saving settings on the cpu governor, making it take longer to ramp up clock speed and be responsive.

[Q] Accidentally putting calls on hold

I love the Note 5, but I keep accidentally putting calls on hold when using it in the "traditional" way - putting the phone to my ear.
I've discovered that somehow the screen is coming back to life while I talk - and I'm accidentally touching the "On Hold" virtual button on the call screen in the upper right corner.
I feel a bit stupid even posting this, but the Note 5 is my first Lollipop and phablet experience. I don't remember the "On Hold" button even showing up on my GSIV call screen. Could it be a proximity sensor issue?
Has anyone else experienced this and if so, is there a fix?
Yes, your proximity sensor may be defective. My screen stays off when I hold the phone to my ear.
As a mitigation, you could try keeping your fingers on the side of the phone, off the screen, and lower than where the hold button is; also, hold the phone at an angle, with only the top edge held against your ear.
I have the same problem...the proximity sensor is fine, screen does go blank when on call..but nearly every day, maybe due to angle I hold phone which makes it think I am not on the phone! It keeps going on hold. Any way to resolve? Or any workarounds people have done? Really annoying, sometimes happens 2-3 times on the same call!!!
I am having the same issue. Any fix for this?
Could glass screen protector be causing this?
