Some Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ users reporting random screen wake-up issue

03 January 2018
Needless to say, the behavior is also leading to faster battery drain.

        go into display settings and turn off screensaver it will fix the issue

          comment in video says he is using not original cable which does not compile with fast charging, that's why it gives issues

                  But don't say that people generate false issues. I've been having the "screen self awake" problem since i bought it.

                  Cheers

                    i am experiencing the same problem with my S8. It is very well known that android has a lot of software errors/glitches but you shouldn't have to encounter these kind of problems considering that you're paying a big price for a great Flagship. Hope Samsung will bring an update solving this problem.

                      Yeah mine too! what's weird is that it doesn't go back to sleep afterwards!

                      I thought it's my Annoying career's ADs that pop up until now!

                      Other than that my phone's still as choppy as it was the first day (apps open super fast, but the animations for them are insanely choppy and inconsistent! animations are still at 1x!

                      also my battery has gone from a shocking insane 8-7-6H depending on usage to almost 5H sot everyday which is still pretty good! (most settings are set for performance not battery life, other than my pure black theme which I like cause it makes those bezels look nonexistent! (saying this cause other comments were complaining about samsung's software, which I do agree with, Samsung has to work on their software a lot more), TBH even though samsung said their new battery technology wears much less slowly than others (after recharging them constantly it lost 95% of it's capacity compared to my s7 edge(85%), which TBH is still doing good! But I'm worried me constantly using the fast charger and a gear vr might have done this! (never used gear vr on my old phone!)

                        Someone is trying to generate fake S8/Note 8 issues. Idk probably apple or pixel. I own an S8 from day 1 and I read various fake issues related to S8 since around the launch of iPhone x. They include broken fast charging, no response after battery drain and now this. I didn't encounter any of this and none of the people I know owning S8 and Note 8 so I really believe that these issues are being generated as fake stories online. S8 is a near perfect device without a doubt

                          tbh, i have only known this problem after reading it here. im a S8+ user and haven't encounter this problem yet. maybe the culprit is a third-party app? (like greenify or package disabler, and such) don't have any problems with my battery too. been lasting me my whole day with a single charge, or atleast a good 12 hours (5hours SOT), while i play games most of the time and listen to music.

The software is a clunker after a few weeks of use. Slowdowns are unbearable. Still can't find the fingerprint scanner after 3 months of use. Have to reset phone every week or the things halts to a crawl. Battery needs to be recharged twice a day. My charger stopped working after three months. Phone turns on needlessly in my pocket when I walk with it. What a complete mess of a phone. I'll stick with my trusty mate 10 and xplay 6

                                  Mikey, 03 Jan 2018My S8 Active just started doing this at random. Run it th... moreWell I do that regulary. On daily basis to be more accurate. To make sure phone is optimized, and it doesn't use too much RAM when not needed. I clean cache too.

                                    Never had such an issue and I have S8 for a long time now. Only time it wakes up is when receiving an SMS, call or when alarm goes off.

                                      Using samsung galaxy note 8 from last month.
                                      Noted : battery is getting drained faster than claimed.
                                      No games nothing on board is used.
                                      Only required apps are downloaded.
                                      YouTube is used to some extent.
                                      Many times twice in a day require charging.
                                      Sometimes phone get heated as well while watching video continuously.
                                      Overall the phone is very good.
                                      Just take care of the battery and heating issues.

                                        My A7 2016 has this issue but it is occasional. The phone's screen would be off but after sometime you notice it switches itself ON with a beep. Has happened a few times. I can say my be once or twice a month. Knew there is something not okay after it happened at night when I'm a sleep. Naturally, you'd wake up thinking it's an alarm or text message only to find nothing on the phone that might have triggered it.
