As if by magic and without anyone touching or looking at the mobile, many Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco models face the strange effect of the screen turning on itself . This has led to many doubts among users, running into many forums, as well as English speaking with doubts about why this happens and if there is any solution in this regard.
It is not the first time that we see something like this, because it is a misconfiguration on the part of MIUI which causes the screen to decide to activate itself. With the steps to follow that we will give you, you will be able to solve the problem and you will not run into this situation again, which in addition to doubts, helps the mobile battery to run out before time.
The options that activate the Xiaomi screen alone
It is not just one option, but several that cause the mobile screen to activate without using it in Xiaomi . This has occurred in both MIUI 11 and MIUI 12, having to follow the same steps that we will explain to you to get it fixed. We just have to make the following three changes that we show you:
The steps to follow to get to this configuration are the following:
- We enter Mobile Settings.
- We go down to Lock Screen.
- Inside we touch on the options:
- Lift to activate
- Press twice to turn the screen on or off.
- Activate lock screen for notifications.
Just going from having one of these options enabled to disabling it could be solved, but the others could still be the cause. You can choose to test one by one or if you don’t want to have to worry about the screen activating itself on your mobile again , deactivate all three options.
Why does the screen turn on with these options?
Why do you have no doubts about the reason that leads the screen to activate by itself , we are going to clarify all the causes that may arise. Although we have the options activated, if we do not move the mobile or do not touch the screen, it should not happen, but it is not what is happening to us. To understand it we must know the following:
- Raise to activate: even if we do not move the mobile from the table, a small vibration or movement can be detected as sufficient to activate the screen.
- Press twice to activate the screen: this is the most complicated option for it to be understood and therefore it will be the only option that we would advise to leave active if we want to use it.
- Activate lock screen to notify: most of the time the mobile screen turns on for this reason, although not all notifications are permanent and appear on the lock screen. Some services send temporary notifications that in MIUI wake up the screen and that is the reason why then there is no notification fixed.
