screen randomly switches itself on - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Hi,
My phone has developed this rather annoying habit of switching itself on randomly. The screen lights up for a couple of seconds and then goes black again. Everything else is working fine. Any ideas what is going on? Phone is not rooted and I run stock oxygen os 5.0.8 on android 8.0.0

Disable double tap to wake, see if that fixes it.
If not, you have a software issue. Rogue app or just a bug.

Thanks I'll test that

Alas that didn't work.

Stuck on lock screen.... Android 2.1/2.2

So, I downloaded and launched it perfectly... everything so far i tried is working fine except the lock screen... Some times when i press the Cancel key the button lights lid up but there is nothing on the screen and sometimes it appear the lock screen but nothing happen....
Do someone have any solution to this...
Thank you.
I have the same problem. I have been reading that possibly going back to an older kernel / roofs fixes this problem but have not seen and confirmed reports.
Can anyone confirm this and what version?
Thanks
Same problem at me. Both builds are running very fine for some tine but after that are running slow.I don't know why. Maybe is somehow related with the lockscreen problem?
I have this problem as well i get lucky if i manage to move passt the lock screen and the OS runs really slow it takes like 20 seconds just to open the app screen and the app screen laggs like no to morrow how come so menny ppls can get it to run just fine but i cant it makes me sad face
+1 one for me... I have got a TOPA100, it's almost impossible to wake up the device, sometimes the lockscreen is visible, but it's impossible to move the unlock slider. Usually I need about 10 times and something around 5 Minutes to wake up the device.
Same problem here, would be great if this can be fixed...

For me it's the same and the battery runs only for one hour, I think a (system?)process is running with 100% CPU time. I am new to android, so I don't know where to look.
Same here on an AT&T Pure. Sure would love to get this fixed however I'm reasonably noob to the Android world (not completely novice to linux in general, and I have successfully flashed my AT&T TyTN II thanks to this site.) Fixing this would be a huge help!
Thanks
More specifically on my device I encounter. The following:
- Turn screen off via end button.
- Turn on screen via call button.
HW button lights come on for a few seconds then cut themselves off.
Screen does not turn on at this point.
- Turn on screen via call button again
- Screen comes on with HW button lights
about half the time screen is unresponsive and will not all me to unlock with swipe of finger
Other times will accept input and unlock to the home screen
When unresponsive repeating entire process above will likely allow me to unlock successfully.
Thanks!

my screen never wakes up
end up using soft reset to windows mobile
(it could be something to do with startup??)

Usage of apps like NotifyX and Floating Toucher wakes screen without reason

Hi!
I've trying to figure out why apps like Active Notifications and Floating Touched doesn't work the way it should.
I'm running stock and I'm rooted.
Floating Tougher has an option to lock screen when button is pressed on screen. However when this button is pressed the screen goes dark and flickers and then turns on again. At first I thought there was a problem with the app do I didn't think much about it.
NotifyX and Active Notifications etc. doesn't work either. When I lock my screen there's a brief moment, 6-7 seconds, under this moment the screen stays lock but then turns on to show the notification screen by the app.
I've uninstalled most of my downloaded apps but the problem still persists. I've checked wakelocks but couldn't find anything worth checking out.
Anybody else with the same problem or maybe even a solution?
Thanks!

Touchscreen Bug

I am noticing a weird touchscreen bug with every ROM I have tried (CM10.1, 10.2, 11). I also have used 7 different HD+ and they all have it.
Sometimes, when I am navigating through the tablet, the screen starts not responding correctly. E.g. on the homescreen, it doesn't let me scroll through the homepages, it just moves and then back to the homepage I was on before. In games (e.g. Minecraft PE), I suddenly can't navigate anymore, my touch triggers false actions.
When I turn of the screen and turn it back on, everythings fine. It also just happens maybe once a week.
Has anyone had that problem before?

**HELP**Lock button permanently locks

I have a strange problem, well a few. If I lock my phone (C6903) using the physical button I can't unlock it again. I try for about 5-10 minutes sometimes and it just wont work. If I hold it down I can feel it vibrate as if it's bringing up the power menu but the screen just stays black. Eventually it will randomly wake up then I can play around as normal. If I leave it to lock itself I can unlock every time, fist time no worries. This is what pointed me to it being a SW problem rather than a hardware problem.
I also noticed that when I do have the screen turning off in the dark, I can see that the screen is still lit up! Just it is black, not completely asleep. It's really quite bright when I have it next to the bed. Also when I am outside I can't see the screen at all really, even with the brightness turned right up.
It's really strange all these happened about the same time. I figured maybe it was a ROM problem and a fresh install of stock ROM would help. Tried it and at first most of these problems went, just the fact I still couldn't really see the screen in the sun. I tried another ROM and at first was just the same but then these problems started again.
Has anyone had any or all of these problems or got any ideas what it could be? I am left thinking now that the problem is more likely hardware related as the problems are so sporadic and happen whatever I have installed.
Any help / suggestions would be appreciated but I have the feeling I will have to just admit the phone is dogged
You say that most of the problems desapararecen to install a new ROM, it is likely that installing something extra to be the cause, I was introduced me something similar with Expoxed Notifications Module.
Try a clean installation without installing test applications to determine if the problem recurs.
Thanks, yes I guess I will try that, bit of a pain having to reinstall apps after every install and restoring messages etc so I might just put up for now.
I also have realised that the screen not turning on and the screen staying on but black happen at different times. i.e. I can now randomly turn the screen on and off no problem (don't think I have installed or deleted any apps or changed anything), but the screen stays awake when off. When I was last not able to turn the screen back on after turning off the screen actually went to sleep. Very strange

Unresponsive fingerprint sensor

Hey guys,
Recently, I've been having issues with my fingerprint sensor/unlock screen. Sometimes when I pull my phone out of my pocket and attempt to unlock the phone witht he fingerprint sensor, it won't respond. I then press the power button, which turns the screen on and when I use the fingerprint sensor, i can feel the vibration from the button but the screen does not unlock. There is also no fingerprint icon at the bottom. I can't unlock by swiping and putting in my password either. This eventually fixes itself after 30-45 seconds, but its really annoying when I want to use my phone. I've tried switching launchers, thinking that this might have been the problem, but this did not fix it.
I'm running stock OxygenOS 4.1.6, kernel [email protected] #1. I'm using the google launcher currently.
Its something to do with the light sensor cause i have it happen at night time when i am listening to podcasts in bed, it comes up to press one of the volume buttons and back to bypass it - but after 10 seconds it lets you unlock it anyway?
Pocket mode, try turning that off. Pocket mode uses the proximity sensor (I think) to detect whether it's in a pocket or not. If it is, then the fingerprint scanner will refuse to work so as to prevent accidental touches in the pocket
Turned it off last night. It's still happening. And it happens even when the phone is sitting on my desk. I go to try and unlock it and it won't respond.3
Delete and reset them. I find it happens after a month or so of use. I'm on Sultans marshmallow.
Originally when it happened I thought the ROM had gone bonkers and flashed back to stock. I missed the battery life too much on the CM13 build so I tried his marshmallow again. And guess what? It happed again. So I just deleted them and reset my fingerprints and voila! Snappy again.
Let me know if it works for you!
Just delete your current fingerprints and reset them. Should become snappy once again.
Happened to one of my friends and that's how I fixed it for him.
Cheers.
Never had issues with. Maybe you use it wrong side of finger, i mean you must unlock with you finger horizontally and not vertically finger

My phone has started acting wonky, not only with the finger print sensor but sometimes the touchscreen will become unresponsive, but I'll be able to turn the screen on or off. I'll have to try resetting tonight.
