Can you change the phone to black out the screen to save battery, but not lock for a certain time? For instance, I want the screen to black out after 30 seconds, but not to lock for 5 minutes. Is that possible?
I know you can do that with the passcode lock. It was quite a scandal recently.
I don't think you can disable the lock screen once the screen has timed out, at least not in stock settings. Search the market I would think there's an app for that.

Seems like the other LTE SGS3 variants have the ability to have the normal lock screen and a pattern or other security lock screen enabled at the same time. On the i9300, if you enable pattern lock screen, the normal lock screen goes away completely. Meaning that when you lock your phone via the power button or have it timeout and you turn in back on before your pattern timeout is reached, there is no lock screen. I know I can select lock instantly with power key but I'd rather have the pattern kick in after about 5 minutes and have the normal lockscreen active before the 5 minutes.
This is native behavior on the AT&T LTE SGS3 but not on the i9300. Any way to get this working in the i9300?
I'm looking for this option also. My old Incredible took me to the swipe lock screen when I hit power to turn off the screen. But I had it set to require a swipe unlock after 10 minutes. Tried playing with the (Verizon) SGS3 settings and no go. They both turn on at the same time - only after my 10 minutes setting elapses. Other than that, the phone wakes (with the power OR home) to apps on the screen waiting to be accidentally launched.
I just installed a CM10 rom and I LOVE IT.. however I have one big issue that is hard to deal with. An app I have (lotus traveler) requires device administrator access, and it imposes a policy which says I have to have a password lock. In addition, I am allowed to have a lock timeout of at most 30 minutes before the password comes into effect.
On GB, ICS any phone this has always worked great. I set the timeout to 30 minutes. If I lock the screen, I just swipe to unlock. After the 30 minutes of being locked, a password must be entered to get past the lock screen.
On this ROM (and I have read all the others on JB?) there is no way to have a lock screen w/o a password. I think I can live with this. But I would really like to be able to set "lock timeout" to the 30 minute max policy provided by the software I installed.
Does anyone know what to hack & where to extend this to 30 minutes? I am rooted and unlocked of course. I have seen other JB phones (i.e samsung) showing screenshots with times up to 30 minutes.
Edit: should mention the MAX today is only 10 minutes. Also "lock delay" in the app store doesn't help if you have an app requiring password lock all the time.
It hasn't changed, you can still set the delay. Most ROMs it should be menu >Settings >Lockscreen >security, it something similar.

Dang! I wish I knew what to change in my rom to get that enabled (mine just goes from 30 seconds -> 10 minutes). I'm just using that "4th night nightlies" ROM "recovery-ra-vigor-3.16-gnm.img.zip".
demmo86rt -- Yeah I have the setting but it maxes out at 10 minutes. And when I do use it, it isn't like ICS/GB was... Before it used to be:
1) Using phone
2) screen goes off
3) Before the timeout, push unlock button
4) Screen comes on, lockscreen, swipe ring and unlock and go
5) If you wait till after the timeout, push unlock button, you must enter the PW first on the on screen keyboard
---- With JB ----
1) Using phone
2) Screen goes off
3) Before the timeout, push unlock button
4) Comes up to home screen. No lock screen protection
5) If you wait till after the timeout, push unlock button, you enter the PW ON the lockscreen and that clears it.

I'm fine either way but I would really like the timeout to be 30 instead of 10 minutes

Yeah, that's how mine is on LiquidSmooth (with all the options up to 30 min). I normally don't use lockscreen security, but I enabled it after reading this post to see how it worked. I do like the delay, but would rather have the regular swipe to unlock before the timeout. The main reason I don't use the security is because it irritates me to always put in the stupid pattern, but I don't like it waking straight to the homescreen, too much chance of something opening up in my pocket.

Maybe I should go post this back in the forum thread for the ROM I installed.. I bet it's something that can be changed.
Yeah the "waking up straight to homescreen" is a new thing I found in JB.. It never worked like this before. I think the issue is android developers don't typically have to deal with the corporate security requirements.. Thats the only reason I have to have a password, it is required by the application that is installed.
SOLVED!

Not sure if you found a solution, but I had the exact same problem.... until I found this post on another site. (Updated) - It did NOT work for me in the end. Seems to work for Moto users, but not for various Samsung users (I'm on Cyanogenmod 10.2, but tried the other versions to no avail).
Cheers
This behavior is affected by two different settings:
<Menu> -> System Settings -> Security ->Automatically Lock
<Menu> -> System Settings -> Display -> Sleep.
The administrator policy requires a 30-minute maximum timeout for the combination of both the Display Sleep and Automatically Lock. If you see "Immediately" as the only option for Automatically Lock then your Display Sleep timer is set to 30 and won't allow any time left for automatic lock.
Hey guys - I have a lock screen question I'm hoping you can help me with.
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S4 (AT&T) with stock (but rooted) Android 4.2.2. I have the lock screen set with a pattern unlock. I set a 3 minute delay on the unlock (i.e. it won't ask me to unlock via the pattern until 3 minutes have passed since the screen turned off). However, when I turn the screen on during the 3 min period, I get a different unlock screen that just asks for a swipe to unlock. What I want is: if past the 3 min period, it should go to the pattern unlock, but if within the 3 min period, it should just open back up to the last screen I was looking at.
I previously used CM9 and it behaved as desired. Does anyone know how I can achieve the same thing using the stock rom?
Thanks for all your help.
Hey everyone,
I'm having a weird issue with my Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 (Android 7.0, rooted with SuperSU). When i set a screen lock (pattern, pincode or password), I get a delay on my lockscreen. If I draw my pattern, it gets stuck for a couple of seconds and then it unlocks. Same with pincode or password; if I put in my pincode/password and click ok, it also gets stuck and unlocks a little later. Sometimes it gets stuck for so long that my phone locks automatically, it's really frustrating. When you go to settings and change the screen lock, you have to give your current screen lock. It also gets stuck on that when I put in my current pattern/pincode/password. But when I choose a swipe lock, it doesn't have this problem. Maybe it has to do with the authentication of the pattern/pincode/password? I have no idea. Can someone help me out?
Best regards
