Screen keeps lighting up when locked?

My phone will be sitting there locked and the screen will randomly light up every couple of minutes or so and I cannot for the life of my figure out why?
I never had this with my 3G and I'm pretty stumped. Any ideas?
I have a genius appointment regarding my yellow/brown blobs in a few days time so I can ask then, just thought I would try here first incase anyone else is experiencing this?

It could be a couple of things. Try closing any open apps (double click home button, press and hold on an app, click the minus symbol) and see if the issue persists. You can also test turning off push notifications for everything (Settings > Notifications) and then turning each one back on one at a time to see if a particular app using Push is the problem.

  • The flashlight in my iphone 4s keeps lighting even when it is switched off. I went through many articles and in those was mentioned presence of humidity could be one reason, but my phone was not prone to such conditions

    The flashlight in my iphone 4s keeps lighting even when it is switched off. I went through many articles and in those was mentioned presence of humidity could be one reason, but my phone was not prone to such conditions & it is the condition when i took it from its pouch. Kindly help

    If the phone is offline there is no way to track it or send a message to it.  You can place it in lost mode to lock it and send it a message (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165), but this will not take place until the phone goes back online, if it ever does.  If it does, you will get an email informing you.

  • Slate 21 Pro screen back light on when sleeping

    Hi James_caI found out a couple of days ago that our service inventory had not yet been updated with the new Scalar FW revision.  I suspect that at some time you will experience the same issue...just a matter of when.  I'm sorry if I was not clear in my earlier instruction.  I should know more tomorrow about when our service inventory will be ready.  Rest assured that if you experience the issue again, the next replacement will be correct. Again, my apology for not communicating clearly.

    I have Slate 21 Pro. It is awsome all in one desktop with Android system. However it has the problem with sleep mode. Say I press power button to put it into sleep mode. The light on the power button change to red from white. But at some point, could be a couple of minutes or one hour, the screen back light will turn on though the screen is still dark (nothing displays). And at this time, the light on the power button will become white. And the worst thing is it'll never go back to sleep mode once it is in this state. I used a Electric Meter to test the power comsuption. At running time (when I use it and power button light in white), it consumes aournd 26 watts. At sleep time(power button light in red), it comsumes around 5 watts. At the state of dark screen with back light on ( the problemmatic state I describe above), it comsume almost the same as running time around 24 watts. This is too bad for an Android device. Though I'm able to pay the bill, but why should we waste energy and money? I report the problem. HP sent me another one. But the same problem there. I guess it is caused by the latest OS update. HP really should fix this. Does anyone has this issue? I'm so supprised that no one report this issue.

    Unfortunately, I'm facing the same problem with my N97 using firmware v20.0.19.
    Any reset, hard or soft, did not solve the problem.. It's a new bug..

  • Screen only lights up when charging.

    What would cause the screen of a BlackBerry to stay dark? When a call is received the screen stays dark. My friend can answer the call with his Bluetooth. The only way to get the phone to light up is to plug it in to the charger. Once he unplugs the phone it goes back to the dark screen. He used the phone yesterday and everything was fine. Is there a setting that might have been pushed while the phone was in his pocket?

    I would check settings/options/screen/keyboard options and check backlight brightness and timout.

  • RANT:  Why does screen keep dimming even when "DIM" is disabled?

    ARGH this is buggin' me!
    I turned off the dim under custom in energy saver. i am reading a document and it keeps dimming and it's annoying as doo doo. anything i can do?

    What about the option of "Automatically adjust
    brightness as ambient light changes" in
    Preferences/Displays?
    William
    William - anyone with this problem I can guarantee
    shut off every screen dimming option.
    I have this issue. It seems to be intermittent.
    What seems to improve it - Restarting, or unplugging
    and re-plugging in the mag safe charger.
    These have been my only solution. I have even turned
    off all display changes for battery power so that
    there shouldn't be any "confusing" factors for the
    computer.
    I wouldn't care so much about this issue if it wasn't
    for the screen whine with decreased brightness.
    I trust apple will fix this with software or firmware
    updates.
    I checked my 1.67 PB 15", it does what is being described. Software?

  • Macbook Screen has light spots when viewing dark background

    So I just got a new macbook for my birthday about 2 weeks ago, and I've noticed that at the top of my screen there are two identical lighter areas that make the screen look like it's bent, when it is not. I can only see these two spots when I'm viewing a black or dark image in full screen mode. I'm wondering if this is fixable or if Apple can replace the screen.I have not exerted any force on it, and it was noticeable when I got it, but it has gotten slightly worse. It's not a huge issue, just irritating when viewng movies etc.

    it is definitely possible to have a bum screen. i had a similar situation with my macbook, except it was a darkened area on the right side of the screen.
    take it back to an apple store and they will replace your computer for free since the screen is considered an inoperable area for the apple techs there. just make sure you schedule and appointment at your local store with the Genius Bar before you go, else you may be waiting in line for a long time.

  • Screen keeps jumping around when I try to do my farming?

I will have just a brown on the side of the screen then it slowly comes back. Can you please help. I would hate to go back to the internet.

  • Why does does my MacbookPro screen keeps shutting off when I open it more than halfway?

    I Have a very new Mac, and for some reason, the screen goes black when I open it more than halfway. It happens to all the users, and even if it is or isn't charging. The brightening keys also doesn't do anything for it. I don't know if this is connected, but I also have half of the lights on at the dock, it kind of looks like lights on a stage.......
    please help if you can. i can't live like this anymore! 

    Anything that is repeatable can be fixed at the genius bar.
    You appointment for an evaluation is free at an Apple store, in warranty or out.

  • Ipod apple screen keeps lighting up then restarting itself....

    I ejected my Ipod by going to My Computer and right clicking the device and pressing eject. Now it keeps looping itself where the apple will show then light up, then it will shut off and repeat the process. Whats wrong?
    Also, when it lights up and starts up again, it makes a weird clicking noise.

    Some how the opperating system on the ipod has been corrupted.
    Try to put the ipod into disk mode.

    Then restore the ipod.

  • 8530 Curve Screen Keeps lighting up

    I am a new BB owner and I set my LED backlight to 30 seconds, however it keeps coming back on, even after I have pressed the Mute button to lock the screen.  What is going on? Anyone have this problem?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Next time it does it, and with the power on, pull the battery out for 30 seconds or so.
    Hopefully that will sort it. The only permanent solution I could find was to reinstall the software afetr doing a backup. Try the battery pull 1st.

  • Why does my screen keep flashing white when I use my front facing camera?

    I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 5.1. Whenever I use my front facing camera, the footage I take shows a white flash on the screen every second or so. It looks almost like the glare that you get from looking straight into a flashlight. This doesn't happen every time time I film, and when it does, it can easily be solved by stopping and restarting again, but it's still annoying.

    This issue is associated with your graphics driver not being compatible with PS' hardware acceleration. Updating the driver if possible would be advisable, otherwise turn off OpenGL drawing under Preferences --> Performance.

  • MacBook Pro keeps shutting off when locked or shut. It does not turn back on unless I disconnect then reconnect the battery connector.

    I don't want to have to take apart my laptop every time I need to use it. Is there a permanent solution to fixing this problem? Trying to avoid a trip to the Apple store.

    If you have a Time Machine back up you can try Restoring it,  then run your software update before opening and see if it will download the Mavericks compatible version.
    I am not to hopeful here.  There is no stand alone Safari download for Mavericks.
    You would have to reinstall the OS. It should not touch your user files when you install on top of your existing OS.
    Always prudent to have a backup.

  • How can I get the lock screen to stop lighting up when I get a text message?

    I just got the s5 and my screen keeps lighting up every time I get a text. I really just want it to vibrate or make a noise. Is there anyway to stop this feature?

        Hi iluvtomd1,
    Congrats on your new, awesome phone! You're asking a great question here. Turning on/off the Screen Lighting option is currently not an option that is available in the phone settings. Here's a great link with more information about your phone settings and options: http://vz.to/1i9BRT1. Let us know if you have any further questions.

  • Lenovo z50 screen keeps going black

    I've had it for around 6 months with no problems, then in the last 48 hours, the screen keeps going black when I'm using it. It happens every 20-30 minutes. If I close the laptop lid and open it again, it works fine until the problem comes up again. I've tried downloading updates and placing a fan by it, but it keeps happening. Any ideas?
