stock LP7 ICS here. Every time I receive a SMS the screen wakes. Not normally a problem, but recently have found the lockscreen is staying on whilst in my pocket. Must be the fabric of my suit, so its killing my battery.
A friend of mine who is also on LP7 swears his S2 doesn't wake when receiving an SMS. Am i missing a setting somewhere? I'm sure this wasn't a problem on GB.
I am running stock Messaging app.
My S2 wakes when I receive an SMS. It's done that since GB and continues to do that in ICS
Screen time-out?
It could also be your screen time-out being set too high. Try setting the timeout to a lower value and see how that goes
Yup..it will awake around 15 secs

The screen wakes on Samsung ROMs, although I've noticed it doesn't on the AOKP ROMs I've been using. Perhaps your friend is using one of them?
As for the issue with the screen staying on, check screen timeout (although I'm sure this is separate for screen and lock screen). Or else try a different pocket
Yes your right re screen time out, it is separate for screen and lock screen. But the time-out isn't the problem. Either I have electrically charged legs or the screen sensitivity has increased in ICS. The phone is waking when SMS arrives, then the screen is staying on because it senses a touch through the fabric against my leg. Small movements (ie walking) keep the screen on without unlocking the phone. Obviously easily sorted by keeping phone in a jacket or glass facing outwards rather than against leg.
Just wondered if there was a way to disable the screen on function. After doing a bit of research it looks like GO SMS has the option to disable screen waking.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Go SMS can indeed do that- I use it and the screen does stays off if the option is selected

So say for some odd reason you have your screen time out on 5 minutes, phones on silent you get a text. It wakes your phone up for 5 minutes. I have a rough idea of separating the screen time out selection into two. A screen time out set for when the end user unlocks his or her phone and a wake lock induced screen time out. Now I know there's anti wake lock apps but the idea is as I stated a set screen time out for a user induced wake lock and app induced wake lock. This idea popped into my head randomly as I don't leave smart stay on so I max screen time out to watch video's and sometimes luck my phone on silent for getting to change the screen time out back. Anyone have any insights about this.
Hi all, i received my Verizon Galaxy Edge on friday and the phone is perfect, but i'm having a issue. I've looked everywhere to see if others are having the same issue as me but nothing, zip, nada.
The issue im having is with the touch screen, lets just say i'm texting, i normally keep my left thumb near the volume down button, kinda touching the edge screen but not really much, well im texting and sometimes i dont have to be pressing the keyboard, but its the issue with the left edge screen, it's making it press in the center where my thumb would be. i've turned on to show my input presses and all that and its confirmed the center of the screen touch input when i'm only touching the edge. any help or issues? does this sound more of a hardware defect or a software defect?
This is weird. I'm kinda having the same problem, but not "frequently". I wonder if other people do. I think it has to do with our palm/fingers accidentally for a short period of time so it registers as a touch, then if you were already touching somewhere else then it'd mess up and register the touch in a random place, but I'm not sure. For me it isn't in the centre but it's annoying when it happens.
Well its not all the time dead center, but yeah its annoying. We might have same issue
an update, today i was typing on facebook and i noticed my right thumb was kind of near the L key but it was recognizing presses with my other hand without touching the screen (heat presses) tried to get the video but it went back to normal 5 seconds after the video, will record when it happens again.

-in dialer type *#2663#
-TSP firmware update (general)

Hello all, I am currently researching some new phone as my Lg G2 is failing. I thought I would explain the issue though incase its something that could be fixed. The issue started the other day when my phone kept activating in my pocket even with screen lock on. When I try to use my phone the screen would randomly change to a clock face with a small lock symbol in the bottom right of the clock . This clock would be on the top of the screen and the screen would only respond to touch inside the clock image. It would not unlock when swiping. Also while this clock is on my screen if I received a incomming call the clock would be replace with the normal accept or decline screen while shrunk in this small box the clock occupied. It would let me swipe accept call and talk.
I could not google this issue, anyone seen this before?
Thanks.
Wanted to add, I also reset phone back to factory settings and it didnt fix it.
Hello,
Yesterday I have unlocked my phone with my finger print (like I always do) and it took about 5-6 seconds for the screen to show something. The backlight turned on rather quickly but the screen remained black. After the screen turned on, it had a bad case of screen retention, the colors were also darker and I could not use the buttons from the bottom of the screen. A reboot solved all this problems.
Also, sometimes when I turn on the screen, it quickly goes dark and the slowly comes back to the initial state. During this time I cannot use the touch screen. It is like it does the wake up of the screen all over again.
I think this is a software issue (I have V20C on H850) and it might be related to the always on display. Also, all of these problems happened when I woke my phone using only the finger print (not pressing the button or knocking on the screen).
Did anything like this happen to you?
