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..

I have flashback 7.0 installed and its running great ( thanks devs!!)....only thing i cant figure out is that no matter what time i set the timeout to it automatically reverts back to 15 seconds. I've tried using widgets that set the timeout, rebooting immediately after changing the setting, but it always goes back to 15 seconds.
EDIT: Fixed...did some google searches & found the concept that another program was resetting the timeout....remembered I had installed Screebl which didn't work, forget to uninstall it, and it was resetting the timeout immediately. Uninstalled it and problem went away.
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?
OK, folks, I have been searching and trying various search terms, but can't find anything.
MoPho unlocked, rooted, stock ROM 198_7....
I am having issues with the Display timeout reverting back to 30 sec. after varying scenarios. Occasionally I will rotate the phone, set up the kickstand and I'll notice when I set it down, it will timeout after 30 secs. I have it set to 5 minute (using Android Assistant) and have also used the 10 minute setting (stock timer under settings) and unit will STILL revert back to 30 secs. I have no clue WHY it does this, but hoping some one may be able to help. Having to constantly go back in and change this setting is getting REALLY annoying! Ay help is GREATLY appreciated!
Back from the dead! Haha... sorry... did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same problem on my LG G3.
Hi. Today I rooted my phone using Odin 3.7 and Siyah-s2-v6.0b5 kernel, everything went fine, installed few applications like Smart Launcher, customized everything and messed around with a phone but after few hours noticed that my menu and back button lights stay always on. I tried everything, turning energy saver on and off, changing button light duration (off to on etc) and nothing helped. Lights kept staying no matter what. They only turn off with the screen (I changed the setting to 15 seconds). Why is that?
Yes, I did factory reset too actually. All my applications are now gone (I hate doing backups, but whatever) and I thought it will sort this issue out but it didn't help. Is there something that could be done without flashing ROM or kernel again? I'm paranoid of bricking my phone.
I googled and seems like I'm the only one with this problem. Android version 4.1.2. First time noticed this problem today after rooting.
P.S. I tried also some moderators solution here: sys/class/misc/notification/led_timeout change value to -1 but no effect, value doesn't change, reverts back.
EDIT: sorry I don't find the option to delete the thread. The problem was solved using STweaks application (got the idea from some member here to edit option in BLN folder) and I set timeout to 1 sec and everything is fine now. Thank you stranger very much.
I have the al10 version non rooted with the latest non beta updates. The problem I have is that the screen does not timeout. Currently it's set to 30 second and changing it does not fix it. If I restart the device the timeout function starts working again but maybe after a day of use, the issue reoccurs.
Even if it's on the lock screen, it does not timeout. Now I could manually turn the screen off, but if I receive a message and it turns it on (lockscreen) it'll stay on which drains my battery.
I have already booted into recovery and wiped cache. Any other ideas besides having to constantly restart my phone?
