Screen Randomly Turns on When Unit is Off

[Camp]

Tried Forum/Google search for this and too many results.

Situation: My noob friend buys a refurbished AT&T Tilt after my praises and he reports that the screen randomly wakes up when the unit is off without any action on his part. What could be the common causes? My Tilt doesn't do this even after Hard-SPL, SIM unlock, and third party apps. He has none of this so far, just the stock ROM. Should I tell him to get a replacement? Do refurbished models have this problem?

the screen should turn on after you press the power button. press it again and the screen turns off. hold it and it wil shut down/power off. i thought that was normal -_-

I am LMAO at the responses so far. He is pressing the power button to turn it off. After it turns off, it will wake up randomly without any action on his part. I will edit the thread title to be more clear.

Thanks. I don't know if that is what is happening to him, but I will direct him to that thread.

The screen "wakes up" when ever an alarm goes off or you receive a message. Can you confirm that nothing is happening? i.e.:
1. it did not auto-connect to check for messages.
2. your friend did not receive a text message
3. no alarms went off
???

I have the same problem on my stock tilt any solutions anyone? I have done numerous hard resets and that seems to the solve the problem for a couple months then it returns.

Sprite backup has an auto backup when it detects low battery. To test for low battery it periodically turns the device on - if you have sprite backup installed this could explain it.

somthin that was happening to mine for a bit was when i logged on to AIM for a while, it started doing that.... then ever since, even if app is completely closed out, it kept doing it!! it would randomly light up for no freakin reason (no auto login, no apps running) jus light up, then go dim???.... tried everything, eventually got new ROM and hasnt done it since. see if he has used the IM app, that was the problem for me...

there could be so many reasons why it would wake. Just the simple slide of the screen will wake it up. Theres a registry tweak to turn it off. There's also power options your friend can play around with.
