Screen lights up on its own - Motorola Q Forum

Well my phone has developed another quirk. Every no and then I will set the phone down and the screen will come on for no apparent reason. I can turn it off with the "message" key, but it will still come back on in about 30 seconds. It only stays on for about 10 seconds, but I can't imagine this cycle is helping my battery life. It doesn't do this all the time, but enough to concern me.

Ever since I switched to the VZW mail for smartphone software, I get a lot of the screen lighting up. Happens everytime I get a mail delivery. I make sure to lay the phone face down on my nightstand at night so the screen lighting up won't wake me up.

yeah.. that'll do it. i use Push Effect which has a build in schedule option so between certain hours my phone does not get email.

or it could be it witching from 1x to EV you can force it 2 1x or EV so it stops that

It sounds a little far fetched, but my Q does this every time I cross the Wayne/Washtenaw county boundary here (give or take a quarter mile). I honestly think it has something to do with E911. I don't switch between 1x/evdo in this area, nor do I drop service. It would make sense to route 911 calls from inside Wayne county to Wayne county, and so on instead of the opposite. Just my 2 cents.
