Screen turns on every 2 min!!! why!!! stay off!!

[mr_timluu]

alright, so the side button turns the screen off

why does it always seem to power itself back on every few minutes

bluetooth, beams, and wifi is off...

is there any programs that keep the screen powered off until you turn it back on??

[ajk511]

never had that problem. What programs do you have installed it might be one of those. Did you try doing a soft reset?

Ive noticed when I have data running it turns itself on. Try turning ur data off and see if that solves the problem.

If you have e-mail set to sync periodically, it may be turning on every time it checks for e-mail on the server.

This is a known issue. For me, i just installed s2u2 and set it to automatic cut off after 5 seconds, its also set to cut on when the device wake up..... sooo

*device randomly wakes up*

*slide to unlock takes over*

*five seconds pass*

*phone goes back to sleep*

*battery life is extended, and no mistaken calls are placed*

You could put a piece of tape of the power button to keep it off.

Just kidding.

Sometimes my device powers on when I recieve a "ghost" email or text. But it does not power on at all besides that. And what I mean by ghost:

I have confirmed when a friend tried to call or send a text, email and for whatever rare reason it did not go fully through. It's a fluke occurance but my display will come on and nothing will hapen and I will look at it like "Ok...any time now..."

check how often your device checks your mail

[timothydonohue]

more specifically, how often it checks email, weather, or basically anytime that it has to send/receive data. that'll turn the screen on.

it will also turn on when you are going in to or out of service areas I.E roaming or when ever your phone picks up a different tower in your neighborhood etc.

I HATE that. it wouldn't be such a big deal if the text would eventually make it through, but it doesn't.
