For last 2months my scree timeout does not work every time I look at my phone the screen is on therefore draining so much battery.
My timeout is set to 30 seconds so its not that.
I have tried jus about everything from adjusting timeout settings to wiping and flashing numerous roms even going back to stock.
Has anyone else experienced this? Please help
Have you tried turning smart stay off?

Thanks but I never enable smart stay can't believe I am only one who has had this
I know it might sound silly but try rebooting your phone and turn smart stay on, see if the time out works.
Then turn it off again, reason I'm asking is I vaguely remember having a similar problem a while ago but was never sure if it was just a coincidence.

I've noticed a handful of times that if I don't turn my screen of manually, it does not shut off. battery will be nearly dead, phone hot, and the screen still on an hour later. I have it set to turn off after one minute, but it does not always work. Anyone else run into this?

Yes, mine is doing that as well. Did you find out anything about why this is happening?

I'm on a stock ROM and I haven't noticed the screen stay on longer than the timeout i have set, currently 1 min. Although, I might be in the habit of turning the screen off when I'm done, I do think I've left the screen many times and it always turns off as I've never noticed the screen being on for long periods of time.
One thing which does come to mind, is there is an app which I use that has a setting to keep the screen on while the app is open. Perhaps if you have one of these apps open, it would lock the screen on. Do you run any apps like that?
Are you guys rooted? HTC or Revolutionary unlock? What ROMs/kernels are both of you using?
Anyone else getting this? Seems to be only the top half of the screen it does this randomly. Takes a reboot to fix it. I am rooted and no matter the ROM tgis happens 2-3 times a week

Sounds like a problem. I would definitely bring the phone in to be checked out.

Happened to me once with my first one, and twice with my second. Not enough times to really make me care.
i've experienced unresponsive issues
So i've experienced the screen randomly becoming unresponsive. So i know its lot locked because i've been in phone calls when it happened, or i can see animations working, or maybe a download bar progressing and then the screen will do nothing at all. I can shut the screen off and back on but then not be able to unlock it. But then i've had the same happen, but i would then be able to unlock the phone only for nothing beyond that to respond. This does eventually go away/stop, Its odd as it makes me think its the screen at times, then software at times (sometimes i cannot hold the power to restart/power down).
i have a similar problem where my lower part of the screen becomes unresponsive randomly at times once a day and then goes away after reboot . im not rooted
I'm sorry if this was asked before, but it's pretty urgent.
My hd 2 awakes right after I put it to sleep (means turning the display off) - it just awakes itself. That drains battery and I can't put it in standby. Looked up settings, there is nothing wrong with the settings.
Vibration also doesn't work anymore, although it's active.
So how can I solve either problem?
Thanks in advance

Doesn't anybody has an idea? It's really annoying and I don't really want to send it to repair, since I don't have the slightest clue, where the bill is :-/

Ok this is odd. I dont know what I did but my HD2 was doing the same thing. I would push the red button to put it to sleep and it would just keep waking up. screen would go off and on. I did a hard reset and its fine now.
Well, I never had that idea...but thanks for the hint, I might as well try that

If it works and it stops doing the nonstop wakeup thing. Please let us know so anyone who has the same problem can find this and know what they can do to fix it.
It just disappeared : o
I don't know how or why, but as I restarted my phone this morning, the issue was just gone and finally it stays in standby without turning on by itself :/

hey at least its gone. now if it happens again you know all you have to do is goto bed and when you wake up restart you phone.

Is anyone having the issue with the screen timing off. I have it set to 15 seconds and almost every other time it wont go off.

Do you have smart stay enabled in display settings?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Yes I do. But I can walk away and it wont go off.

I have the same issue, tried turning every setting I could think of off and on, reboot fixes it but not permanently as it comes back. The other weird thing is if you have the Stay Awake option set after the said reboot it turns the setting off, but regardless the issue still returns.
I have similar issue but it's when i lay it on my bed or living room couch. It seems my ceiling(which is white) keeps screen on. I have smart stay on. When i turn it off it's all good.

HAD this issue My solution
first off are you using a different keyboard other then the Samsung one ?
i had this happen to me using Swift.
just reboot your device and you should be golden.
Dont know why the keyboard would do this to the phone but thats what it was and all i did was reboot and Timeout works fine...
Whenever I'm reading something on my phone, if I don't touch the screen for 5 seconds the brightness decreases to unreadable level regardless of the original brightness setting.
Can this annoying "feature" be turned if, and if so, how?

Increase your display timeout. The screen dims just before powering off (5 seconds, I think After playing with it a bit, I think the time for dimming is based on a percentage of time until the screen powers off, as the time between dimming and screen off seemed longer when I raised the timeout value. I have not actually timed it). If you increase your display timeout, it seems to put off the dimming as well. This setting can be found under "Basic Settings" on the "Display" tab of the built in system "Settings" app.
Alternatively, an app like Screebl may work for this, though I haven't tested it.

I have my screen timeout set to 30 seconds and it dims after just 5 sec.
Is it not odd though that the phone itself doesn't have a setting to defeat this?
Why stop at 30 seconds? I set mine at 15 minutes. If you don't want it dim on itself, turn off the auto brightness.
Screebl works great! Have used it since my original droid incredible and it has always worked great! One of the first apps I install on a new phone!

I've been using the app gravity screen because I like the feature of it turning the screen on when I take it out my pocket.
Or LG can put the face detection back in the software!

My phone's backlight would over-adjust way too much even with auto-brightness off.
I downloaded Lux off the playstore at the advice of a member in the Q&A thread. Haven't had a problem since

What you're asking for is the smart screen feature that defects when you're looking at it. LG had it on the G3 and I don't remember for sure but i think it was on the G2. I don't know about the G4. For some reason they took it away from the V10. I'm a little upset about that. Hopefully they realize the mistake and bring it back.

I know this thread is old af but unlike everyone else that has posted I completely understand what you mean. I just restored from a android backup...everything is great, except now my screen dims after 5 sec then turns off after another 5 sec. It doesn't matter what you have the screen duration set to, or if auto brightness is enabled or not. You can set screen on for 20 min...it dims after 5 then shuts off. Period. Theres no app or setting that will override that. Dunno why mine just started this nonsense but I feel your pain. Hopefully a wipe and clean flash fixes my issue

Is it not because your battery level was too low (under 15 %) and a battery economy setting was used ? Just check your power settings in android settings...

nope, I have 5 batteries for this thing lol even at 100% it was dimming the screen after 5 seconds. I think initially it was something going wanky with my TWRP backups. I noticed all of a sudden backups I've used multiple times I couldn't use because my screen lock pattern would say incorrect. I've used the same screen pattern since froyo 2.2 on the very first Galaxy S. its not like I forgot it lol so my work around for that was just wipe data and start over. well when I did that my screen would keep shutting off quickly like the op issue. so then I just did a clean install of the 7.0 zips and I kept having the same screen issue. finally after like 5 or 6 total wipes and clean flashes the screen timeout is finally back to normal. just gonna chalk it up to some funky bug issue. I've noticed twrp doesn't do the best job wiping on this device. even after wiping data, cache, davlik etc and clean flashing the 7.0 rom all the tweaks & scripts I altered are still there. so who knows, there isn't enough active users or devs, or even interest in this phone where I'll ever find a solution i assume, but it's working good now so it is what it is. I just know my issue was the exact same 100% as the OP addressed and everyone was acting like he was overlooking some small detail or option. altho I'm not a developer or anything close, I'm far from noob status and just figured I'd let him know that I've experienced the same issue and it was in no way a setting that he missed lol

Interesting description, thanks. Now that you mention this, I also had leftovers after TWRP partition formating on this device.
Indeed, development is minimal, thanks to LG locked bootloaders on the V models... It's a pity, as those are the devices that were interesting for me.

well even with the unlocked bootloader in the T-Mobile variant development is close to flat lining lol but yeah I've had issues with pretty much every version of TWRP leaving artifacts after wiping. It never seemed to be an issue back in the cwm days. too many unofficial builds I guess. but even with this phones issues my two main uses for a phone is a digital audio player for my flac audio files and a camera for my eBay store, both of which this phone is excellent at and the large SD support and extra batteries are a plus. But even now that I got the screen dimming and lock screen issues taken care of with this last flash now I have random force closing of apps that I never had before. it's not bad enough for me to re flash and risk the other issues I just resolved tho. if it persists I might just drop the $200 on a used v20
