Continous screen Awake issue - Android Pie

Sagar Pune

My Nokia 8.1 is facing a strange issue, the screen becomes awake after every few seconds and then goes off and comes back even without notifications. Stopping notifications background service is not helping. This happens even in Safe Mode. This is a serious bug in android Pie. It drains battery heavily. Google and Nokia need to fix this issue. Now I am wondering did I made a mistake of buying this phone?

download ui tuner from play store. Open it and disable ambient display. The problem will get resolved.

Thanks but doesn't help. There was no problem earlier suddenly this has started and it has a serious drain on battery. I have even turned off all notifications in ambient display.
Now is this a Android One -9 problem or Nokia that I don't know

You live with a ghost, its sitting next to you and turning on your phone.

No one has mentioned charging but if it is while you are on charge turn off always on during charging

I have just turn off the bluetooth of my Nokia 8.1, it don't wake up the screen issue.
I have installed Xiaomi Mi fit app and Mi Band 3 connected. I am not sure whether it is the app issue. But I will try to uninstall the app on next hour.

I don't experience such. However, check your preferred settings on Ambient display

After May Security update 2019, screen awake issue are happened. But I did not changed any phone setting(Ambient display & double tap).
Someone said that the screen was replaced and then the issue resolved, But I think this issue is not about hardware.

I was also facing the same issue of screen awake after few seconds which is causing the drain of battery in standby. What I did is
1- on the developer option by touching 5 times in build option (about phone) and disable all the things except Automatic system updates.
2- clear the app preferences.

That works for me

I think we need to wait the Android security update only

I am also facing the same issue and it started after an update, I tried several options after reading the thread but nothing worked for me till now. Battery Draining fast...Nokia Team please get something on it or you will loose customers.

I'm still having this issue after the July update. I've contacted support they just told me to clear app preferences again. This morning my phone drained from 30% to 0 and consequently my alarms never went off. Thank god I didn't have to be at work.

To resolve this issue, you need to disable 'tap to wake' option in display settings.
