Sometimes display don't turn off (also after turn off time), it could be causes by android apps or low battery. After launching some apps, it works normally then. Does anybody have the same problem?

It happened on my XA2 too when using excel in android. I couldn't figure out under which circumstances it occurs, it only happened three or four times. For me it's no problem at all. It was not present on Hossa.

Yes, I was wondering that yesterday, too. WA and Tlg are working in background. The display won't turn off unless not doing this manually. 3.1.0.11 sure needs adjusting.

One thing to check out: I've seen one XA2 with broken cover (hall effect) sensor. The sensor was constantly reporting changes, which in turn interfered with display state handling in various ways - including display staying on too long / turning on without apparent reason.

If it really is faulty sensor hw, journal should have some clues about it in the form of mce reporting multitude of spurious SW_LID events / related processing. Disabling cover sensor use should function as kind of workaround:

mcetool --set-lid-sensor-mode=disabled
