How can I keep my screen from going into sleep mode?
I have my phone always connected to the USB port, so power drain is not an issue.
I have gone to settings, display, screen time-out... but the only options are:
15 seconds
30 seconds
1 minute
2 minutes
10 minutes
BTW, my phone is rooted.

I have a galaxy s3 from Sprint. The screen stays on while charging. It simply comes right back on if I manually turn it off. I look through all possible setting but I can't figure out how I could get it to turn off. Can anyone help me?
My Telus model turns the screen on when I first plug the device in, and again when the charge is complete, but in both cases the screen is turned off 10-15 seconds later.
Have you tried another cable? I could see it staying on if there's a bad connection and it keeps thinking that the cable is getting unplugged/replugged.
when my device gets fully uncharged (when i turn it on after getting turned off due to low battery) I can't turn it on easily, actually I don't know how I should turn it on, while plugged to charger I try holding power button for 3 seconds and shorter nothing happens, pressing for 15 seconds makes it vibe 5 times at some point latter.
so how should I deal with this situation?
So I just got this phone as a backup for when I go out to work on construction that if my phone were to break it would be this $40 Optimus F3 and not my $640 LG G3. Now here is the issue and I will explain what I have done.
Issue: When I turn screen off (Hit the power button once or when it auto sleeps) the phone just locks up and freezes. It happens when the screen is off for 10 seconds or longer. Before that I can reactivate the phone and it works fine.
Other Symptoms:
-If I allow the phone to stay frozen after about 2 minutes it reboots itself.
What I have done
-Factory Reset several times
-Restored the stock firmware kdz via the lg firmware updater
-Rooted to install a cpu app which does't allow the phone into a lower frequency. I have tried setting minimum frequency to every single option available and it still freezes at the 10+ second mark.
-Tried another battery from a friends F3.
Test I have made:
Disable screen timeout. This allowed the phone to stay on and responsive for as long as the screen was on. No matter how long I let it go as soon as the screen turns off the issues starts and 10 seconds later it just locks up then restarts after another 2 minutes.
Times tested: 10 minutes, 40 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours and 8 hours. Same result each time.
I have no idea what else I can do. I would appreciate any help. I am starting to think it is a hardware failure which kicks in when the screen is off. I don't mind having the screen on all the time but I would love to track down this issue. If I must and this being an lcd display would having a special background do anything at all? Is there a color which is a lower power consumption than any other? Thanks
This problem started happening two weeks ago and it's quite annoying. Running Android 5.11 Archidroid with the latest Archikernel version on my phone.
The problem is that my Galaxy S3 seems to freeze when the screen turns off. If the screen is turned off for maybe half an hour or more, pressing the power button will not wake the device. In an attempt to figure out if it's a broken power button, I set the home and volume buttons in the settings menu as keys that will turn on the screen, but that doesn't work either. The only way to fix the issue is to hold the power button to restart the device and doing that every couple of hours gets really annoying. Trying to turn on the screen literally does nothing, as if the phone is turned off.
When the phone is not charging, the interval between the freezes seems to be much longer. The phone will work perfectly for a couple of hours without the above mentioned problem but when on a charger it quickly screws up.
Now, I don't believe my device turns off during this "process". I've turned on the LED for charging and whenever I'd get the screen freezing problem I'd unplug the charger and the LED wouldn't go away, it'd still light up as if the phone is connected to the charger, which it isn't.
Anyone have any idea on what the problem is? I've never experienced this before and it started happening all of a sudden.
How low is the kernel clockspeed running in sleep mode?. Should be at 200mhz at the very minimum!.

If this does not happen on a stock ROM, it would be a problem with the ROM and the phone.
Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 running stock firmware, unrooted and bootloader locked. Ever since a few months ago, I've noticed my phone having some problems such as it randomly shutting off around 20%. Over time, this battery percentage increased until I essentially had to keep it plugged in to turn on. Now it will be at full charge, and still won't get past the Samsung Logo or if it does, it will restart in around 1-2 seconds after getting to the phone lock screen. During this time, the battery percentage is still fully charged and nothing else is abnormal. I noticed something else as well before it got to the state. If I was not connected to the internet the phone will not restart when it runs low on battery, but as soon as I do connect it restarts. I've considered getting a new battery, but is there anything else I can do for the time being?

Edit: I managed to get it to turn on for longer than 5 seconds and turned on flight mode and now it does not turn off (while plugged in). I'm going to do a backup real quick.
