Yes. It happens on my girlfriend's Epic consistently. I read a complaint on the Sprint website about it as well. I have Captivate and have never experienced, but appears to be a problem with the Epic.

My stock Epic goes to sleep mode without any issues. Try checking to see if there are any programs running in the background and make sure you have "Power Saving mode" checked in settings also having your phoned modded/rooted might effect the stock sleep state setting.

Same thing on my wife's epic. Pretty annoying, not to mention bad on the battery.

Phone is stock, power saving mode on, used Task Killer to close any apps that could be causing it to stay on, no luck. Setting an unlock pattern does not change anything either (not that I really thought it would).

It seems like a bug to me because the screen clearly times out after however long you have it set, but then very shortly after comes back on and does not time out again.

I have the same problem. It seems to be an issue with the micro SD slot. When I remove the card and start up the phone, there is no problem. But, if the card is in when it starts up, the screen will timeout after 15 seconds, but turn right back on a couple seconds later. I've also noticed that problem persists even when an unmounted card is present in the slot, but as soon as I take the SD card out, the issue resolves. I've tried two different micro SD cards and the same thing happens with both, so it must be an issue with the actual slot.

Samsung has no idea how to fix this problem. I've sent my phone in to them twice and they have not fixed the problem at all.

I know this thread is very, very old, but I haven't seen this answer posted elsewhere, so hopefully this helps.

I had same problen since owning this phone. Try odining the stock rom. For me, I was accustomed to lock it with power button as this doesn't make phone wake up.

Right now I'm on leak gingerbread rom and I dont have problem with phone waking up by itself. So if you are really annoyed try gingerbread rom. I recommend randomking's rom. Stock leak rom doesn't have issues with Phone waking up.
