Has happened in the past, went away but is back again >.<
Touched nothing in the time since.

When locking the phone, the display just shows whatever it was on, backlight and all, but when you hit the power or menu button, it reverts back to the screensaver (with time etc), but after a few seconds, goes back to the display of whatever you had on, although the keys are still locked.

Chews through battery life in a day!

Anyone else have this issue or a solution?

I've noticed that happens whenever there is some app trying to syncronize/update its contents.

And a solution that is working for me is the Security lock.

I always keep the security lock (auto lock after 45 minutes) to avoid any misuse of my mobile if it gets stollen and it helped me with this problem also.

And I keep my sim locked too, for the same reason.

So every time I have to turn my phone on I have this procedure

1) Enter Sim Lock
2) Phone will ask for the security lock password, at this step I wait for about 20-30 seconds before I enter the password, the phone will start every update process in the background and will probably end it succesfully without having to deal with user inputs

I've never had the screen saver problem after this procedure, btw I do the same whenever I start my Windows laptop, I always a minute or so before the login, and it runs much better for the all day.

That´s the reason I decided to do the same in my N8, after all, it is like a mini computer.

Best regards,

Mauricio

Thinking back, this happened after a hard reset (phone was semi frozen)

Googled this the whole night and have managed to fix it this way:
1) Turn off phone (not by hard reset)
2) Leave it for 5 mins or more
3) Turn it back on, but do not touch the phone for another 5 minutes (lets the startup process completely finish)
4) Done!

Hope this helps other
