Screen wakes up from sleep/standby by itself.

Hello guys, I'm interested in buying a galaxy note from somebody, but it has a problem. The screen wakes up from sleep by itself multiple times. From what I understand it turns on, then turns off, a few seconds later it turns on, then off.
I've seen this problem on other forums, and some answers include turning off/uninstalling some programs, but the guy who owns the phone said he restored to factory default. (The phone is rooted.)
Is this a fixable problem? Is it a big bother to stop me from trying to buy the phone? Is this a hardware or software? Did anyone have this problem and fix it? Thanks.
Ah poop wrong section (supposed to be in the Q&A right). Had the wrong tab open, sorry.

You could try cleaning the use port. Maybe the phone thinks something is being plugged in

I have had this problem, but it only ever happens when you turn the Note on while on charge. If you disconnect before turning on it never happens. No idea if that helps, but that is my experience.

i had this same problem and it was caused by go weather app because it wasn't able to access the internet for some reason..
i reinstalled the app and it solved the problem..
i have included a screenshot of night time usage when this problem existed.i did not use the phone during the entire 8 hours..the phone was acting by itself..

Thanks a bunch for the answers guys, some new answers I haven't seen. I bought the phone, so hopefully if it happens I can fix it.
Just in case somebody else is looking for the same answer (since it's a rare problem), some possible answers I've read on other forms (haven't tried any of these):
1. Clear cache/memory from the task manger.
2. Check apps. that connect online (including widgets), and disable/reinstall them (like what johnvarghese said). This might happen with there is no wifi. (Also check which apps might wake up your phone from sleep.)
3. Somebody (on a random forum) told me to turn on the GPS.
4. Some applications can be used for locking/unlocking/ or disabling other programs/ or turning of wifi when the phone turns off, not sure, more info. could be found if you google search.
Again thanks a bunch guys.

Congradulations on your new phone. Ive been a happy note owner for almost a month. On stock 4.0.3 just root. The problem ur refering to dosent seem to me as a problem, my note and nexus s have the same issue and a few friends owners of android devices get the same "behaviour" whether on ics or gb. When i look at my battery stats, during the night the phones battery usage is literally a flat line but with many wake ups in the screen. Above a user posted a screen shot over an 8 hour period with massive drain. thats not normal. you shouldnt worry yourself as long as your battery is holding up properly.

Thanks a lot I'm really enjoying this phone the more I know it's features. I'll probably stop using my Acer a500 tablet and my laptop. I don't know whether to install a custom rom or not I'm afraid of bricking my phone. Also Swype is awesome.

better battery stats, helped me alot.
i had same problem.

I had the same issue,
in my case, mp3 downloader's ad Notification was waking up my screen,
I found it out by using app "Wakelock detector" GooglePlay Link
you need to check for "full wakelocks", check the screenshot

Screend issue resolved (Culprit:- Facebook locked by Applock)
I have locked facebook app with 'Applock software, which was causing the problem.:crying:
Now I have removed Facebook from 'Applock software list.
Now it is working fine. :fingers-crossed:
P.S. other application are still locked by Applock software:good:

[Q] wifi turns off when phone sleeps

I have set it to never turn off in settings but for some reason it still does.
Any ideas?

what option you have selected in settings? Always or Never? Its was change in ICS and it works different than 2.3 GB...

The setting is actually asking you when you want to leave wifi on when screen turns off.
Always. will leave wifi on and
Never. will turn it off when screen turns off.

Mine works fine.
In settings select "Never (increases data usage)", something like that, mine is Portuguese...

Mine works too, just go to Wi-Fi's Advance menu and change the Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep setting, then it will never turn off

I'm not sure that WIFI is off or not.
But while updating apps in Google Play and then screen off, when phone waked, Google Play was just hang and stop updating.
May be just a bug of Play but I rather think it's a problem of stock rom.

With firmware V10d and earlier my phone had the same problem but it's gone since update to V10f.

Disabling FastDormancy?

How do you do it on Atrix HD?

I ask because FastDormancy is killing me!

This is for a phone that is not at all used! 4% an hour for a phone that isn't used is a lot, especially given FastDormancy is keeping the phone awake for 1 hour 7 minutes out of 2 hours 57 minutes, a whopping 38%!
Clearly my carrier doesn't support FastDormancy or it wouldn't take so long to send the disconnect messages!
The worrying part is that I have even changed the radio to GSM Auto (PRL) in an attempt to reduce battery life as the phone constantly tries to get the best 3G signal possible which is anyway sketchy in my house.
Help appreciated. Thanks.

If you're rooted, get Titanium backup pro and freeze "orientation notifier", "modem fast dormancy...", and "modemstatservice". Under battery, these were labelled as "wakelock" and used about 25% of my battery.

Do all three need to be disabled or freezing just "modem fastdormancy service" is enough? What does "orientation notifier" do anyway? I thought it was to do with screen orientation.

Those three fall under wakelocks, hence all three being disabled did the trick for me!

Well I have only disabled "modem fastdormancy" and it has done the trick for me. Why disable more, especially when you don't know what those two do!
What exactly do you mean by "fall under wakelocks"? Using which app? BetterBatteryStats only showed me modemfastdormancyservice doing a partial wakelock and keeping the phone awake.

Under Settings>Battery..........you know, without some fancy app
I disabled them because they ALL caused wakelock. You can do what you want, but like you said "modemfastdormancyservice doing a partial wakelock" I didn't risk it with the others. Disabled all of them and not a single problem

Okay, so far I have never seen anything like "wakelock" being displayed in Settings>Battery.
And, before you disabled, did you find out what those other two did? fastdormancyservice is self-explanatory but google search doesn't bring up much in terms of results for the other two. Why take a risk? But you say everything works fine? LTE, HSPA+, HSPA, EDGE, etc. and the networks seemlessly switch when you go to an area with weak LTE/3G signal?

I'm using it unlocked on T-Mobile....get HSPA+ speeds fine. 10mbps down and 2 up, goes to E, wifi. You can always try it and defrost it if it cause you problems. It's not like we're telling you to delete something, so I'm not understanding this RISK you speak of.......

Risk as in if it suddenly doesn't boot anymore, etc. Has happened once for me so I'm very, very cautious. Especially since I do not have a recovery installed to create a nandroid backup. Anyway, I haven't seen the "wakelock" option showing up on my settings>battery screen till now. If it does, maybe I will try freezing the other two you have mentioned as well.
At least as far as I can tell, freezing the fastdormancyservice alone seems to let the phone sleep without any problems and the other two services you have mentioned certainly aren't running. Maybe the fastdormancyservice is required for the other two to work and with this frozen, they shut down as well I don't know.

also can try going into your build.prop and changing this line:
ro.mot.ds.fastdormancy.disable=false
to
ro.mot.ds.fastdormancy.disable=true

Thank you. Found it. There is also this line:

What does that parameter refer to? Should that be changed as well? My instinct says it should left as false since they did not want FD to be active during a call but I wanted to confirm just in case.

Hi, I have a same problem with my new Samsung Galaxy S3 mini and Sports Tracker. And many other reporting this problem. Sports Tracker works fine with my ZTE Blade. The first I thought that the fault is in bad GPS module in my phone. But the GPS work fine with Navi software. I realized that in Navi software the phone screen is always on and with Sport Tracker go in stanby. And when the screen go in standby the gps stop working. And when the signal is repeatedly interrupted then for a long time does not want to connect. Solution is that you in Sport Tracker settigs set Screen backlight to Always on. Now the problem is that the random clicking Stop suspended yor current workout. I do not know if fault is with Jelly Bean ROM or with Samsung Galaxy phones. Later I again tested navi app IGO Primo and if I turned off the screen GPS also go on off.
Phone screen always ON is also not an ideal solution. Because the signal is still losing, but every once for a second.
I tried various apps: GPS Status (settings: Background behavior/The app will keep the GPS running even the device screen is turned off.
But it does not work).Tracker Booster, Keep My GPS Alive, but without success
Is there any solution for this?

I'm still searching but it doesn't look hopeful. I've tried lots of different rooms and kernels too but with no success all show same issue.

I am having the same problem and I am really disappointed. I have made the same thoughts with you, I thought that maybe it is the GPS receiver which is not strong enough, but this is not the problem, because it can find my position even when I am in my house!
I use (I mean I try unfortunately without success) Sports Tracker and I experienced the same problems. I installed the Tracker Booster and at first I thought I solved my problem. But today when I went out for a long ride with my bike (60+ kilometers) I realised I had the same problems.
What can I tell... I hope that Sports tracker will give us an update and magically the problem will be an unpleasant memory of the past!
If anyone have solved this problem please tell us how

Just wanted to post an update regarding the battery issue. As suggested I have downloaded the fast dormancy app and disabled it.
Seems like it has affected the battery life. Although I am still having wakelocks, the battery life doesn't seem to be that bad.
Still no sure why I am having wakelocks even when the screen was turned offu. Didn't use to have this on stock 4.4.4.
Can somebody help to figure out which particular app was behind these wakelocks?

Which kernel and modem are you using?

The speaker problems could be a kernel issue, try flashing AGNi. I'm not sure why your battery stats are saying that you have Wi-Fi on 100% of the time despite having turned off Wi-Fi in sleep mode. You could try installing Greenify and greenifying Facebook and Facebook Messenger since it looks like those are what keep waking up your phone. Doing that will stop you from receiving FB messages while your phone is asleep though.

Just wanted to post an update regarding volume and wake lock issue.
The volume issue was related to hardware which I got solved. It had nothing to do with Android 4.4.4.
I have been using agni kernel for stock for a while now.. Still seem to get some wakelocks..I guess that's partly because of my network operator's 3G network.. I can be wrong! Not sure..

Some stuffs to check:
- In WIFI advanced settings, do you have "Always allow scanning" enabled ? If yes, try disable it.
- What is your GPS accuracy setting set to? GPS, Wifi or Networks? Try setting it to GPS only or try disable it...
- If you use AGNi, do you have Touch Wake enabled in "Kernel features" section ? If yes, try disable it.

I have ONE quick question. Are you using Google Now ?
