My screen will not timeout and is constantly on until I manually lock it.
This appears to have only started happening today and I cannot think what would have caused it.
I have set the timeout right down to 15sec to see if it works but it doesn't.
I have switched phone to Airplane mode incase there was a network action keeping thescreen awake but this to did not work.
Has anyone else had this issue?

Unsure what actually happened but restored to a previous back up and is working again. luckily I had made a backup only a few days ago.

Suddenly, my phone screen just turns on for 2 seconds, then goes back to sleep
for no apparent reason, (no notifications). Itll happen again minutes later
I factory reset it and it still is doing this
Any ideas of what might be wrong?
Gblur 3.5
mine seems to do the same thing, i have my timeout set for few seconds so screen stays on for little bit, i cant seem to figure out what causes it.
This is a longshot, but Fancy Widget has an option to wake up the device to refresh. Maybe that's what's going on.
i dont have that app, but i do have unlock wifi. and keep my wifi on all day. i do notice that wifi disconnects sometimes even though in power setting i said for it to always stay on. Thats another issue though.
ss2006 what apps you have that do background stuff? i know i have craigslist and ebay, but usually i cant see any notification making it come on like you said.
have you guys noticed that when you power down the phone it does shut off but not completely. the reason i think that its not fully shut down is because the phone boots back up within seconds of powering on....also the up time and awake time have not been reset back to 0. this actually is the only way my phone goes to sleep. any other time when i just turn the screen off my phone won't really sleep (wake lock)..ive noticed this with the blackend rom and also infected rom...the way i found to fix the wake lock issue is to do a factory reset which fixes the problem until i have to charge the the phone which everyone knows that the phone won't sleep while charging. so have you guys experienced this? and also do you know whats causing the wake lock? ive searched the forums and cant find anything...thanks!!
Fastboot, in the power menu, turn it off.
ok turned off fastboot and this fixed the up time and awake time not resetting...still having the wake lock issue tho...any other ideas to fix this?

When you reboot your phone, it does not turn completely off because you are rebooting the phone. It is a feature added by htc to speed up reboot speeds. When you reboot, it kills all apps and processes, goes to sleep, and boots up.
Turn fastboot off (menu>settings>power>fastboot) if you want it to turn completely off while rebooting.
To make the phone sleep while charging, go to
menu>settings>applications>development and uncheck "stay awake"
went to my setting and the stay awake while charging was unchecked already...actually i dont mind having wake lock while charging...just the wake lock with normal use...thx tho

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.
I got my AT&T Galaxy S3 on Saturday and have seen this issue a couple of times now. The issue is that sometimes the screen will not lock after the time I have set (30 seconds). Also, the touch key lights stay on forever until I lock the phone. When I unlock it the touch key lights stay on and the screen doesn't lock. The only way I've found to fix it is a reboot. I first noticed this when I received a text. I use goSMS and have it set to turn the screen on for 10 seconds when a text is received.
Has anyone else noticed this issue or know how to resolve it?
I'm also having the wifi disconnect/reconnect issue and the issue with the cell standby using a lot of battery.
The phone is rooted with the stock ROM.

Hmm, I did turn off the wifi power save mode using *#0011* because of wifi disconnect issues. I went in and turned it back on and rebooted the phone. I'll see if I still get the screen lock issue.
My GS3 I9300 running CM10.2 Jelly 4.3
The phone reboots after it locks and goes to sleep, installed aLogrec app to check the system logs but the issue never happened again while the logging was running, discover this app have a partial wake lock, installed Wake lock app to keep the PWL and avoid the reboot but I need to find the reason for this behavior, any other app to be able to log what is happening when goes to sleep or tries to wake up and then reboots. Anybody have this issue or any idea what is causing it. Also playing with wifi on off settings without the PWL hangs the phone sometimes freeze.
