[Q] P500 screen timeout problem

i've changed the settings so the screen timeout after 15 or 30 seconds but it won't, i block it, it goes off and after 1-2 minutes it's on again, what can i do ?
ps: i did a hard reset and it's the same problem..
Try seing if a running proccess activates you phone's screen.
If not, try searching the market for a settings tweak or flashing another ROM (Or simply the OC kernel).
I have no application installed.. only those installed in the phone..

Getting rid of the Auto-Lock feature?

Is there any way to change a setting or something so that the phone never locks by itself? I hate when I leave my phone sitting for a moment and then it locks by itself.
Also, when the phone is locked and then you press the home button, the screen stays on for ages - is there any way to change it so that it only stays on for 5 or 10 seconds (like an iPhone)?
Cheers
You should be able to go into settings/personal password (or similar) & set "screen unlock security" to none/disable personal password security.
Yes. Get an iPhone (You walked into that one). In all seriousness, it's been a while since I've run stock on my phone, but from memory you *should* (not 100% sure tho) set the screen timeout in the display settings to 15 seconds or similar.
Hmm there was no setting there... I've already got lock screen turned off but that doesn't make a difference..
Is there a way to do it with a custom ROM? I need to get a deodexed ROM anyway so I can run Jkay's theme.. any suggestions of which ROM to run?
In hyperdroid there is an option to change how soon the lockscreen activates after the screen turns itself off via screen timeout, as apposed to when you turn the screen off via pressing the power button.
This may also be the case in newer stock roms, I am not sure.
Its in
Settings > Timeout (Under "Screen unlock settings")
Also in
Settings > Display you can change the scree timeout delay (aka how fast it auto turns off)
just put a long cooldown on the lock? swiping of an image is not that bad is it?

[Q] Change patterlock timeout to be different from screen timeout

Hi
I have setup my SE xperia mini pro (2.3.4) to use a patternlock screen, but I would like the timeout to be slower than the screen timeout so that I can quickly respond to replies and other stuff if the phone is in use.
So what I am looking for is a setting to do something like this:
Screen times out after two minutes and turnsoff but the pattern lock only activates after 15 minutes so that I can quickly turn the screen on when somebody instantly replies to a message.
Can I set that up? It was possible on the iphone I had before.

I want to re-use an old smartphone as a weather maps display

Hi all,
I want to re-pourpose my old ZTE Skate (512MB 800MHz, Gingerbread 2.3.5, root) as a weathermaps display. The device shall boot right into my weather app upon power-supply-connected . After 10 minutes or upon power-supply-disconnected the screen shall get dimmed or dark. After an hour it may fall asleep but immediately continue with the weathermap display on power-on again.
The stock ROM won't even let me disable the screen lock nor change the power management the desired way. I tried My Profiles Manager which fits most of my needs but it won't auto start on boot.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Toshibashi

Display turning off after 5 seconds after notification - How to extend the display going back to sleep too soon?

Before you tell me to look through the settings: there IS NO SETTING to force the screen to stay on for longer when receiving a notification! Nada! The sleep mode time has NOTHING to do with notifications or the lock screen.
So I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro running MIUI 12. Please let me know how to fix this, because I'm already enjoyed to death. My job involves constantly receiving notifications and I'd prefer NOT to have to constantly turn the screen back on or touch the screen every 5 seconds. When the screen is turned off and you receive a notification, the screen ALWAYS shuts off after 5 seconds without exception! You can't change this. This makes it impossible to read a notification longer than 1 syllable. It forces you to either touch the screen to prevent it from going back to sleep or click the power button to turn the screen back on. So now I'm logging for a mod or an app or something to extend this automatic 5-second interval before the screen goes back to sleep after a notification.
Looking forward to extending it to at least 30 seconds! Thanks in advance!
