For some reason my screen timeouts after like 15-20 seconds. I have changed it in setting but it doesn't alter the time. Its extremely annoying. Any one else experience this?

Been through everything....still can't figure this out. I had the screen off app. Uninstalled that but no dice. This is really pissing me off now!!

I was seeing a problem where the screen would go black and lock anytime I long pressed an icon, but that disappeared after a reboot and I haven't been able to reproduce it.
Yeah mine just shuts off. just tried the lock screen override in widget locker. That didn't help either. I've browsed system files and saw some that may be related but the changes I made to them did nothing. Switched them back and still stuck. I guess I could try reflashing...

I'm having this same issue, and its driving me bonkers.
Im working on my third flash of KP's Alien v.4... I know its not the ROM or the Theme (the screen behaves properly after flashing both). I think it has something to do with something that I am restoring through Titanium Backup. Hopefully Ill have some idea in a bit.
I am pretty sure it's widgetlocker. At least, after installing that is when I notice the problem. I ran my phone for like a day after upgrading to GB and the screen behaved like I wanted it to (45sec timeout) then I sat down and installed some apps, including widgetlocker and lo and behold, screen timeout back to 15sec. Annoying, but I like widgetlocker too much to get rid of it over that. I wish i know which database entry controlled the screentimeout.. I wonder if it could be manually overridden?
My screen seems to be behaving correctly now, even with widgetlocker running.
after wiping and re-flashing the ROM, i just restored my apps and app data, and didnt restore any system data. that seemed to do the trick.
I did fix mine and still use Widget Locker. I went into the display settings and selected 15 secs, then went to the home screen. Worked and times out at 15 seconds. Then went back in and moved it to my preference of 2 mins. Still timed out at 15 secs. I went back into display settings and hit 30 secs. Sure enough, worked again. I then went back in and climbed to the next amt of time, then back home. Did this until I got to 2 mins and all is well again. Who knows, but worked for me!

Ok so craziest thing just happened. Ive had SetCPU on my phone for a few weeks now without a single problem. Tonight I went to uninstall it and when I did my screen went dark, almost a dark gray as though it was trying to light up.
If I went through the Market to uninstall it or through settings and applications it would lock my phone up as soon as I clicked uninstall and I would have to pull the battery and restart it. Phone would restart fine but if I let it sit for a few seconds the screen would go black and not come back on and the soft keys would light up.
The way I finally got rid of it was to pull the memory card, reboot the phone, go into applications through the menu, force stop the app (SetCPU) then uninstall it. Seems to be running fine now, but have no idea what caused it.
What setting did you have it on?
There was a discussion about how on demand doesn't work. Conservative is the only one that works. I ended up having to reboot five times before I realized that the only variable that I changed was that...
I had it set to conservative. I just noticed with it installed my battery wasnt lasting as long. I went to uninstall it and all hell broke loose
So something I'm noticing is when removing my phone from the charger, sometimes the screen auto off does not work. The screen will dim like it wants to turn off, but then will just sit dimmed and never turn off. Anyone have ideas? I was thinking some sort of app causing it, but I haven't installed anything new.
Only new thing I've done is update to Perfect Storm 1.4.
I've had this issue too. I'm running perfect storm 1.4 aswell. It only happens to mine when Titanium Backup runs a scheduled backup. A restart fixes it. Maybe I'll link to this thread in chingy's development thread and see if he has any thoughts?

I did not. I like the auto brightness the way it comes in 1.4. The issue (at least for me) is that if TB makes a backup while my phone is plugged in, then the only way the screen shuts off is when I manually sleep it by pressing the power button. Once I restart all is good. Not a huge deal as I only have TB scheduled to backup twice a week right before my alarm goes off in the morning so I just reboot when I wake up. Just thought someone might know how / want to fix the bug...
Yeah mine has nothing to do with auto brightness. Also, mine is not a result of TB, I don't have auto backups set.
It's just randomly, after a full night of charging, certain times it just won't turn off on its own. Once rebooted, working fine as stated above.
OK, so I successfully installed the ROM. It works fine and all until I actually use openscript on the terminal. For example, I wanted to change CPU frequency. I changed it, quit the terminal, and checked the frequency in system information. It was successful. But After about a minute my screen suddenly locked and here is the current situation. The locking screen works fine (I had the pattern lock), I can even open emergency calls. But when I unlock it, the only thing I see is the notification bar (which works btw, clock, wifi , all the icons are there, I can slide it down and up and so on). Everything else is just black. The buttons work - I can quit the notification tab buy clicking back or home or something like that. But I dont see my home screen, menu, buttons - nothing. I can lock it again, and it works fine again in the lock screen but afterwards same black screen again. Reboot does not work.
So I reinstalled the rom. Immediately after installing changed the frequency and waited for a bit. Everything was fine. I installed all the crap I usually have and kept using the phone. But the next day, I got annoyed by the music player and decided to change it again via the openscript. Same thing happened. And this is where I am stuck right now (actually this is already the third time I have this problem in 3 days and it's my third reinstall of the rom, but the first one also happened after using openscript to change frequency.)
So is there a way to fix this without reinstalling the rom again, cause I've customized the **** out of it and I don't wanna do it again. If no, how can I prevent this in the future?
P.S. If this helps, when rebooting, I hear the sound before the android splash screen which is sometimes skipped and sometimes shown for an unusually short time.
P.P.S. Also, I have the apps2sd flashed.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Got same problem
Hi,
Even I got same problem when I tried to change boot animation. Just blank screen.
But i realised it is due to, launcher app is not initiated. So tried a trick which worked indeed
Trick is when u are in a blank screen, click "HOME" button which will pop u up the list of launchers u have. Click One of them though they r not visible
Voilaa!!! Your screen is back

My evo 3d (running Eternity Infected Rom) suddenly started to give me problems with the screen.
Randomly, the screen does not respond properly to my input. For instance I will click on an app at the top of the screen, but an app at the bottom of the screen will get selected.
The same goes for typing and scrolling. When I turn off the screen off and then back on, the problem seems to go away momentarily.
I didn't get the screen wet and nothing out of the ordinary has happened.
I get the same problem after doing a full wipe and flashing back to an old recovery, or flashing a new Rom.
Any ideas?
When I go to Settings -> Display -> Calibration, I get the following error
"Unable to find an activity to perform this action"
Do you use any lock screen replacement apps? WidgetLocker? I have also seen this issue being caused by JuiceDefender with some screen off settings FWIW
I don't use any lock screen replacements. And everything was working perfectly for months, and then suddenly the other night, the symptoms began.
The only change I made to the phone, is I added a bunch of music to my SD card from my iTunes. But that shouldn't effect anything.
I had a similar issue with an evo4G, in fact I've been through 4 of them so I'm receiving a free upgrade. Hopefully I'm not plagued by the same issue.
try this fix from the sensation forum... seemed to help me... ill report back in a few days to confirm..
have had this issue now a week and i have to either rstart or screen off/on to fix

The last two nights I've woken up and my display has been on while charging. I unplugged it and tapped the power button to shut off the screen. A few hours later I woke up and the screen is on again. It seems it comes on when it receives a notification and then it doesn't want to time out. Screen timeout is set to 1 minute and smart stay is off. Any ideas? I have no profile or power altering apps.
Did you by chance turn power save mode off under wifi setting *#0011* ? I did that and then noticed the screen stayed on all the time. If you never touched those settings then disregard

I never touched those setting. Thanks
I would turn the phone off and pull the battery. Sounds dumb but it can fix stupid little issues like this. Otherwise I'd to a hard reset and see if that helps. If not then return it and get a new one if you can. I have not had any issue like this yet.
Lock screen options too...Make sure they are correct.
Yeah pulling the battery fixes it temporarily but then it happens again. I'm thinking it might be an app I have installed but I have the same apps installed on my One X and I don't have the issue there. I can exchange it, I work at the AT&T Store but I think it's a software issue. I might try the factory reset.
