Samsung Galaxy S8 users report random screen wake-up issues: Samsung’s despair into the New Year continues with some users of Galaxy S8 reportedly complaining about an issue where their phone would wake itself up after the screen is turned off. The issue has been reported not only by the users of Galaxy S8 but also of its larger sibling Galaxy S8+.

Some Galaxy Note 8 users also have reported to be facing the issue. One of the affected user uploaded the below video YouTube describing the issue.
In the last week of 2017, Galaxy Note 8, Samsung’s flagship mobile, ran into trouble after users started reporting an issue where the phone would not switch on after the battery loses its charge completely. Problem persists even when the phone is on charging.
Samsung desk is receiving several complaints by users, but company still has to come with an appropriate solution for the existing problem.
