Hi guys,
When the XDA goes to 'sleep' and turns the screen off to save battery life while it keeps the GPRS connnection going, we want to be able to turn it back on.
We have tried turning video back on, sending button keys for on/off or app buttons but nothing seems to turn the screen back on?
Has anyone managed to do this or know how?
Cheers
Steve

Is there any way to decrease the time it takes between pressing the power
button and actually being able to use the phone?
I wouldn't think so. How many times do you turn off? Just keep it on.
yeh with flightmode and silent you should never need to turn it off.
Ive had my GN for a week and the phone has gone into aeroplane mode twice. It seems to me that once the phone has been in deep sleep for over 2 hours it decides to switch too Boeing flight mode.
I already have a faulty screen so its going back anyway but I would like you guys too know just in case you come across the same problem. Anybody else have the strange occurrence?

I've had it for about a week. I put my phone into airplane mode before and its just kind of hung. Like its thinking about switching the radio off. Can't turn the airplane mode back off. Only thing left is to switch it off and restart it.
I put my phone into airplane mode on and off sometimes out so it can find the network again. Used to do it with my X10.
Though its never gone into airplane mode on its own. It just sometimes hangs when trying to go into that mode.
Barometric pressure sensor?
Has happened to me once, had to reboot to get out of aeroplane mode.
happened to me today as well.. very unexpected..
I just tried it. I pushed the power button and held for a second. The modes switch screen came up and I selected airplane mode on. As soon as the screen went away (1-2 seconds), there was an airplane icon in the notification bar.
Repeated the process to turn it off, and the airplane mode turned off quickly with no airplane icon in the Notif. bar.

@NatTheCat, do you actually see the "airplane" icon on the notification bar when it switches over? (Not sure if its a similar problem as mine - it feels like it has gone into airplane mode, but don't actually get the icon)
My one experience of putting my phone in airplane mode (manually). I hit the toggle from the power button, nothing seemed to happen. No airplane icon. I went back to power button menu and my airplane mode was grayed out... so I rebooted my phone and haven't tried again yet.
I just tried this earlier, it took almost 4 minutes to actually enter airplane mode. It's almost like the processes it was trying to connect online were hanging it up and wouldn't release. During this time, the airplane mode icon was greyed out and I could not switch airplane mode off. Once ap mode actually kicked in and the icon appeared, I was able to turn it back off through the power menu.
Does anyone else have this problem? I can push the power button say to view the time, but then the screen never turns off? I have the option on where if it sees a face it doesn't turn off, but the phone can be away from me and it doesn't turn off....
Have you checked the " Touch Screen Light Duration " setting? Maybe cycle through those setting and rebooting between each cycle. I had a over sensitive S-Pen and I cycled the Airview while rebooting and it helped.

So it seems to be a problem with the smart stay button (face detection if you're looking at the screen). If I turn it off, the screen turns off normally. Anyone else deal with this?
Strange issue
a new samsung s4 mini, stock rom.
the screen will not turn off. whenever it enters sleep mode, the screen blacks out for a second, then turns back on.
this happens when it goed to sleep automatically, or when pressing the powerbutton
tried factory reset, same problem (no extra programs installed)
installed a wakelock ap, but that does not really show a reason why it should be turning on?
Anyhting obvious i am missing, or should i just return this to the dealer.

Have you installed any app like "Screen ON"?
I ve got this problem from time to time, when I lock the phone it wakes up for 5s and then turns the screen off although I have had twice the situation where the screen was on all the time till I pressed off button again...strange.
Had this problem long time ago with Note 1 and somebody said that the phone wakes up if it looses the signal and searching for it again......
dont know......
Im not really sure but might as well try.
Have you turned on Daydream ?
You can find it in Settings 》My Device 》 Display
Make sure it is off.
If that hasnt worked, if you have a cover on take it off and then see if you still have that problem. Maybe the cover is too tight and its presing on a button.
If that doesnt work, then now lets turn off Smart Stay. Swipe down your notification bar and look for Smart Stay and turn it off.
If none of these have worked then I'm not sure :/
Hope your problems gets fixed.

i hav a same problem and i got it because if i try to other lcd its normal if u press power botton hes on and if u press he sleep so i deside lcd problem
I was browsing through the forum to see if anyone has a similar problem, but this doesn't appear to be the case.
Since I updated my Note 2 (UAE version) to 4.3, my screen keeps turning off completely randomly (even when in the cradle). It just goes blank. Now - the phone doesn't go to sleep and I know that because if I play video, it still keeps playing (I hear the audio). When the screen goes off, I then need to push power button to turn off the screen and turn it on. If the video is playing, pushing the power button will of course lock the screen, so I actually first need to push home button to get out of the video, then power button to turn off the screen and then power button again to turn it on.
Am I explaining this well? So, the problem is not that the phone goes to standby, the problem is that the screen stops functioning and i need to push power button to put it into standby and then back from standby.
It is completely random - I can sometime work on the phone for hour and nothing will happen, and sometime it will happen after few minutes. It doesn't matter what I am doing, whether playing video, browsing web, checking email etc.
Anyone with a similar problem? Anyone, class, anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
