i have reformatted my phone to its factory condition and the phone goes through periods where the screen spontaneously comes on on its own with no texts, messages, or any notifications to speak of.
i have gone to Dexterity and interaction to make sure Easy Screen turn on is OFF...i have notifitications only turned on for a few apps, and those dont seem to be the problem.
i did notice that when i shake the phone, it turns on more. but its not 100% the case. sometimes i shake the phone and nothing happens.
anything else i can check?
by the way, i have a samsung note 5 with ATT.
