So say for some odd reason you have your screen time out on 5 minutes, phones on silent you get a text. It wakes your phone up for 5 minutes. I have a rough idea of separating the screen time out selection into two. A screen time out set for when the end user unlocks his or her phone and a wake lock induced screen time out. Now I know there's anti wake lock apps but the idea is as I stated a set screen time out for a user induced wake lock and app induced wake lock. This idea popped into my head randomly as I don't leave smart stay on so I max screen time out to watch video's and sometimes luck my phone on silent for getting to change the screen time out back. Anyone have any insights about this.

Ok, so after doing all my searching and what not, it seems that for whatever reason the time it takes for the lock screen to time out is tied to the regular screen timeout.
What I mean by this, is when you first hit the sleep/wake button and its on the lock screen, but you don't unlock it, the time it takes for that screen to go to sleep is the same as if you had unlocked it and not used it.
For me at least, this is a major battery life issue. I like to leave the screen timeout at minimum at 5 minutes, because I use my phone's LCD as a flashlight quite often (LGP500 doesn't have a camera flash), and read websites fairly often. Also, I tend to keep my phone in my pocket (who doesn't?), so when walking or moving it's very likely one of the hardware buttons (sleep/wake, home etc.) will be accidentally pressed inside my pocket at least once every short while, basically keeping the screen on permanently.
I'd like to know if anyone has any ideas on how to change this.
Just as a side note, I realize it's possible for rogue apps to keep the screen from timing out, but I've made sure that its not the case here - when the timeout is changed to 15 seconds, the screen turns off at the correct interval.
Anyone have any ideas?
Hi All!
I've pretty much got my Photon setup the way I want it to look and act except for the home screen lock time. I don't mind the screen turning off so quickly, but every time it turns off, the home screen locks. Is there a way to change the lock out time? The lock slider gets annoying when I have to keep doing it during text conversations or if I'm streaming Pandora in the car and I have to unlock the screen to see what's playing, etc.
Also, I have my screen turn off time set to 1 minute, but it seems like it turns off in about 15 seconds. Any help with this would be appreciated as well.
Thanks for the help!
Did you try going into Settings>Applications>Development?
So, I just exchanged my s6edge for a new unit today because the old one had an issue with tone unevenness and extreme yellowing in certain areas on the screen. Anyway, on my new one when I just click the power button to check the time or notification's, not unlocking the phone or anything like that, the display just sits powered on on the locksreen. doesn't time out or turn off. I have to do it manually. Idk why this is happening all of a sudden as it never happened on the old one or any other phone I've owned for that matter.
Any ideas?
I have exactly same problem. But it is software issue and lock screen timeout depends on normal display timeout. I dont know why it is done like this. Ussualy is lock screen timeout about 8 seconds and it is not depend on normal display timeout.
I'd like the screen to stay on long enough to give me enough light to see how to put the phone in a little niche at the head of my bed, but I'd like to be able to put it there without accidentally activating something on the touchscreen. Does any app exist to lock the screen in N seconds and ignore all touch activity during that time? Just wondering if one exists before I try to write one.
Before you tell me to look through the settings: there IS NO SETTING to force the screen to stay on for longer when receiving a notification! Nada! The sleep mode time has NOTHING to do with notifications or the lock screen.
So I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro running MIUI 12. Please let me know how to fix this, because I'm already enjoyed to death. My job involves constantly receiving notifications and I'd prefer NOT to have to constantly turn the screen back on or touch the screen every 5 seconds. When the screen is turned off and you receive a notification, the screen ALWAYS shuts off after 5 seconds without exception! You can't change this. This makes it impossible to read a notification longer than 1 syllable. It forces you to either touch the screen to prevent it from going back to sleep or click the power button to turn the screen back on. So now I'm logging for a mod or an app or something to extend this automatic 5-second interval before the screen goes back to sleep after a notification.
Looking forward to extending it to at least 30 seconds! Thanks in advance!
