[Q] Phone won't sleep, just dimming? - Moto X Q&A

I just got the moto X and unless I press the power button, the screen will just dim, it won't actually sleep.
My sleep timeout is set to 30 secs, so I don't know what's the issue here!
Anyone else have this problem?

Did you ever find a solution to this? The same thing is happening to me. If I restart the phone it goes away for awhile but comes back. I've checked running apps, and stopped everything I can think to stop and that doesn't fix it either.

Screen timeout keeps resetting?

Is anyone else experiencing this? I read quite a bit on my phone and usually keep it set at 1-2 mins but it always resets back to 15 seconds ;s

The postman delivered this house brick from Korea this morning. My daughter bless her little cotton socks has bought me this Note to replace my HTC(theres nothing wrong with my HTC). I have tried since 10am this morning to adjust the screen time and as with you it just will not have it, my HTC and my laptop are set up so that when plugged into the mains they stay on but this big bugger won't and an additional problem is that even though it is charging the battery is falling like beer down a miners throat.

have you installed any power saving apps ,maybe that is interfering with your screen off setting ?

Okay so I came across this issue today and I've figured out how to solve this. You must have enabled power saving mode at certain %. If you did go to custom power saving settings ---> screen timeout and change it to how long you want it on. You must also change the same time under display ----> screen timeout to what ever you chose under power saving mode. To test it restart the phone and go back under display and should see your last picked timeout minutes. :good:

You are lucky! My Galaxy S4 keeps resetting to 2 seconds! That doesn't even give you time to keep going to settings and changing it to 30 seconds or minute... Any fix for this annoying problem?
I noticed this was happening even with my power saving turned off. As deziking had posted, for me the fix seemed to be changing the settings in the "Power Saving" menu options. Mine was set to "immediately". Changing my Power Saving to kick in at 5% battery power seems to have remedied the problem.
Hope this helps.
Go to settings, device care, press the 3 circles at top right of screen, tap auto device optimisation and turn it off.

[Q] Home Button

Wondering if anyone else is having this problem, when I click on the home button to wake the phone it takes 4-6 seconds before it takes me to the lock screen. Any thing I can do to fix this?
Thanks

Just a thought, you might want to check apps like my magazine and S voice settings. They both have options to open via double pressing the home button. If these are enabled the home button may delay to see if a second press is coming. (Although 4-6 seconds seems excessive) I disabled that option in those app settings and have no delay when waking using the home button.

What if the s voice settings weren't the problem with home botton before the KitKat update ?

Removed your sdcard and test, if you dont have one nevermind
Does this always take a long time? As in if you have device on and press power button to turn off. Then immediately press the home button. Does it take a long time?
Maybe your device is in a really deep sleep and it needs to wake up. If it is in a deep sleep, that's a good thing. If we had a better kernel we could control the situation better. Unfortunately we can't get one at the moment.

[Q] Does your HTC ONE M7 do this?

When going to bed tonight do these steps.
1. Put your phones brightness display on the lowest setting
2. Plug your phone in for an overnight charge, do not "turn off" your phone.
3. Wake up in the morning
4. Click the power button on your HTC ONE M7
Did the screen turn on? Are the Soft Keys the only part that lights up?
I've been able to replicate this problem over and over on 3-4 different HTC ONE M7's. For some reason the phone's display will not turn on in the morning. The only way to get it to is to either hold down the power button for a few seconds and the restart screen will pop-up which activates the screen again. Or, to do a complete restart.
Eventually the screen starts working again like normal after fiddling with it for 15-20 minutes...
I believe this is either a KitKat problem or light sensor problem or both. I do know this issue was never around before the KitKat upgrade months back.

I#ve never run across that problem but I know when I enable "ScreenOn" the screen stays on all night and if I just let my phone sit with screen on (because I fell asleep texting ) the screen will be off in the morning.

with my phone its just a 5 second lag sometimes, and i click the power button again to make sure i clicked it and it instead locks itself back. The third click however, everything works fine.
this has been happening to me for the longest its very irritating, i notice it happens whenever i fall asleep, a nap during the day or when i wake up in the morning its really annoying
Well glad to see I'm not the only one.
I have provided this thread link to HTC and reported the problem. Requested that they chime in if they have any questions.
i had that issue

Yes I had the same issue as the original post.Long story short I ended up sending the device back. The new one didn't suffer from this problem. This was back in October of 2013.
Same issues, it's probably light sensor:

Nope. I already tried the light sensor calibration trick. It didn't work unfortunately. I ended up swapping out 4-5 HTC ONE's before it worked correctly.
yup, I tried the trick as well a few more times and could not wake the screen either. generally I'm tolerant of stuff like this because I assume it is the byproduct of repeated flashing and combo of mods.. but I I recall this happening quite early on in ownership and now it's back. (was AOSP now Sense base). sigh

Nexus 6 Screen Won't Turn On, Rest of Phone still on

Figured I see if anyone else has had this issue. I went for a walk with the dog yesterday, and was listening to music on my Nexus 6 the whole time, and when I got home I couldn't get the screen to turn on. Music was still playing, it was still connected to my G watch, and holding the power button triggered a vibrate when the power menu opens--but the screen was completely black and unlit the whole time.
Had no prior issues, just wondering if anyone else has had this issue. Figuring I'll probably call Motorola as this seems like a hardware issue...
Any suggestions would be well received!
Try holding the power and volume down buttons together and see if the screen will come on when it reboots to the boot loader. Alteratively you could try to power cycle it by holding the power button down for 30 seconds. Hopefully Motorola will also be able to help you.
me too
same exact thing happed to me music pulled out headphones the phone still works but the screen is dead. I can pull to use phone and **** and have the same vibration. holding power for 20 seconds is a no go. tried tons of holding combinations it seems like I can get it to shut off and on may be but it's just not doing a reset that I can tell that reboots the screen.

you had an sod(sleep of death). it sounds much worse than it actually is. its a rather common issue as well(no fix). try using a custom kernel.
ok crap

Ambient display fault?
Hey, I had the same issue, i switched off the ambient display and after that the problem is solved. Give it a try, it might help. Go to Settings, Display, and turn off the ambient display .

Screen timeout defaults to 15 seconds?

Hey guys, for some reason my screen timeout keeps switching back to 15 seconds no matter what I choose. I keep selecting 1 minute and it will go back to 15 seconds as soon as I exit settings.
Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks!
Mine stays at whatever I set it at. Do you have it on power save mode maybe? Or something similar?

It ended up being an app I had installed. I removed Hi Locker and Light Manager and the issue went away. Not sure which one it was but I'm assuming it was Hi Locker since I reinstalled Light Manager since then and it's still working fine.
Thanks!
No issues here
Yeah mine does not have this issue so maybe it is a setting somewhere that you accidentally enabled?
