My screen timeout keeps setting itself to 10 minutes even though I set it at 15 seconds repeatedly .
Set it at 15 and reboot immediately. Not sure it will work but try it.

I have set LockDelay to delay the locking of the phone for 5 mins (tried with 1 also) and the screen turns on when the 5mins are up. Is there any way from keeping the screen from turning on before locking?
I set the timeout to 30 minutes and as soon as I hit the power button the lock screen pattern is there? When the device turns off on its own after 30 seconds, it does NOT prompt me for the lock pattern? Is this normal with Samsung phones?
If your timeout is set to 30 mins your phone will not lock for 30 mins. What you want is to go into Settings > Security > timeout. Set that to immediately. Then go to Settings > Display > screen timeout and set that to 30 seconds.

That is the way the timeout works. If you leave your phone on, and the screen turns off automatically, and you want to view it again without unlocking, thats what you want the lock timeout for.
There is another timeout for the screen that lithid-cm mentioned that changes how long the screen stays on.
So I went into settings, changed the sleep mode to anything else but 5 seconds and my screen sti always times out after 5 seconds. I timed all of them.
Went into developer settings, changed phone screen to "always on" still 5 seconds timeout.
So if anyone has insight on how to change the backlit screen timeout so i don't have to constantly tap my phone while scrolling through messages or the internet i would be forever grateful.
For some reason, my Alcatel 7046T doesn't have the option to select "never" in the sleep timer. Pretty sure it's not bugged as there is still 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 30 minutes and nothing looks out of the ordinary, and it's just that the "never" option does not show up at all. What can I do to fix, or at least help this?
Is anyone having issues with the screen timeout not sticking. If I set it for 10 minutes, it reverts back to 10 seconds after a few minutes. Very annoying.
