    So I switched from IOS to android ( finally.. ) But I already got a problem.
    I got a Samsung a5 2017 and the screen turns on randomly every 15/20 seconds. No clue why it does that.

    Welcome to Android Central! Do you have Smart Stay turned on? https://forums.androidcentral.com/e?...token=1Tw86QpN

    Do you have a case on, or are there any magnets nearby? Most phones have a magnetic sensor for smartcovers (i.e., flipcovers that will turn the screen on when you open it). The smartcover has a tiny magnet embedded, which triggers the sensor when you open or close it. So if there's another magnet nearby, it could also affect the smartcover sensor.
