[Q] Z1 screen takes a couple of seconds to turn on - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I just updated my C6903 to 14.1.G.2.257 last night, I have an Australian stock model.
I noticed this problem yesterday, but if I press the power button to turn on screen it takes about 2-3 seconds for it to turn on. This is consistent behaviour, happens all the time except for when the screen is turned on around 5 seconds from the last turn off.
I have turned stamina mode on and off, auto brightness on and off, and it didn't seem to do anything. I have also done a factory reset too and the problem is still there.
Anyone else experiencing this?

I haven't seen this problem but you might want to try a factory reset.

I did that and the problem persisted.
However it seems like I might have solved it... the problem is now reduced a lot - it turns on immediately most of the time. I have a feeling this might be tied to the temperature of the phone, as yesterday and today I was setting up/playing with camera, etc.
Will continue testing and see what happens.

Similar issue. I had this on my galaxy note 2 as well. It turned out there that it was just a thing with exynos 4 quad where it took a little bit to get out of deep sleep. I assumed it's a similar thing with the snapdragon 800, but maybe it's actually a bug. It would be nice if it were.

Mine takes max 1 full second to turn on at the longest if not its normally instant

disable "auto kill when screenoff" in your task killer app.

[Q] Screen flickering after restart from phone freezeing

I got this phone (Xperia X1A) today and when it froze, I pulled the battery out for 30 seconds, and put it back in. After it turned on and everything loaded, the screen was flickering and I could faintly see it was flickering the old screen from when it froze.
If you don't get what I mean, say for example, I had a clock app open, it freezes, so I take the battery out and do a restart. When the phone starts up and loads everything, I can see it flickering the clock app really faintly from the point when it froze.
Anyone had a problem like this before, because when I googled this I didn't get any information on this problem happening.
EDIT: *Facepalm*, posted in the wrong section. Could a mod please move this to Q & A. Sorry 'bout that.
Next time your phone freezes try to use the reset button at the back of the phone (beneath the battery cover).
The screen of my Xperia X1 sometimes flickers too after the phone switched off because of an empty battery. But it stops after 30 seconds or something. It does not happen when I use the reset button or switch the phone off using the power button.
Thank you. I just only figured out where the reset button was on this thing today. It doesn't flicker when I do that.

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.

screen go black but lighted when it suposed to be off?

I have the phone since one week and several times has spoted strange behaviour, when I press power button to put device on sleep, screen turns black, but I can see backlight? When presed again on and off everithyng goes to normal. Any one else seeng this ocasional eradic behaviour?

Yeah, I've experienced the same thing also, few times.
I think this happen when you have notification.
Waiting for firmware update.
Sent from my C6602 using xda premium
For me this is compleatley random, once per 20-50 off's.
No notifications, no difference whether i switched off thru button or thru widget (i use "Screen Off").
So if some one have an idea how to stop this, please help
Maybe you have a faulty unit?
Are you rooted??

I hardly belive it is fault of my unit.
I spoted it with original firmware and now ater unlock, root and revolution 2.2 (basicaly same firmware with modifications i like )
Actually i think Sony's devices get that issue. And that is because of the app is not compatible with the rom.
My solution: turn off the lock screen!

Same issue here too, I believe it is Sony's problem, hope a new update will solve it..... turn off lock screen works but hate to use this way.....

I don't think is the low battery mode, I don't have it turn on and it still have the problem, I think it is when the phone get some notifications or go to internet for data then the phone with get activated but it does not go back to total sleep mode.....
low battery mode for me. I've got it set at 15% and when it charged back to that amount the backlight turns on.
Just a glitch for me and a waiting firmware update.

Screen glitched, then turned off!

Had this phone for 3 weeks now, just turned the screen on, unlocked the lock screen, then the screen glitched, then the phone turned itself off! Tried to power on again via the power button, but nothing. Had to hold up volume and power button together, phone vibrated. Tried turning on via power button & worked.
Anyone else had this problem?
I'm just hoping it was a one off.

I've had it happen twice, but both times were while I was sleeping so I didn't see the screen. But same thing when I woke up: phone was off and wouldn't turn on without force rebooting with the power and volume up.
Sucks when your alarm doesn't go off because your phone decides to freak out

It happened to me once a day for about a week but hasn't happened since. I've messed with that much including disabling most of the sony stuff that I can't tie down what helped (if anything)

[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
