Hey guys I like the screen always on- but kinda seems to defeat the purpose if the screen is always lighting up to the lock screen from notifications. Any way to shut that off?

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?
Loving the Lumia alot, but 1 or 2 little niggles - chief of which is that the screen won't stay on when plugged in which is very annoying.
It can be done as some of the nightclock apps keep the screen on, but I don't want a clock screen, just the start screen. There doesn't seem to be an app for this and I don't want to jailbreak the phone - anyone found a solution?
There's no separate app for this, and there's no setting, unfortunately.
Generally apps that need the screen on (like satnav) will not let the phone sleep, but that's not a system-wide setting.
It is annoying when I listen to music in my car.
Is there a way to stop the screen from turning off while viewing a pdf?
Change your screen timeout?
smartstay ex is a pretty good app that does what you need. Or increase the screen timeout.
I use keep screen. It works pretty well. No airpush pop ups, and it's free.
I've got a Nexus S phone with an amoled screen and I was wondering, is it possible to make it so that when the screen is turned off, a clock appears on the screen?
I remember some nokia phone that also had an amoled screen and that had a neat feature; whenever the screen was turned off, there was an always-on clock that'd show up, and since the clock was small and the rest of the screen stayed black, it didn't drain the battery.
I mean, that'd be a pretty cool thing to have on amoled android phones, no?

did you try ?

looks like this app does what you want
That's pretty neat but all it does is prevent the lockscreen from showing up and everything else works, touchscreen and capacitive buttons included :c I was more looking for a clock that would show up after the screen completely turned off and where neither the touchscreen or capacitive buttons would work
you looking for something to display at all times ?

this app allows to set triggers with different light levels
means you can set your phone to dim level near 0 or 0 itself and set trigger when you lock screen(any lockscreen (with clock)) it will start its work and keep device screen "on" but not off
btw you will never get deep sleep if this is on
Has anyone else experienced this. If my jacket or shirt cuff gets even a little wet it turns the screen on and starts pressing buttons like crazy. I disabled gestures to try to prevent the screen from turning on but no matter what I do the screen will turn on by swiping. A slightly damp or wet cuff, or accidentally sliding across many other surfaces causes the screen to turn on. Is there a way to disable this? I feel like it is a source of annoyance that my screen is always turning on and off all the time unless i'm wearing a shirt that doesn't touch the screen at all. Super annoying.
This is my only major complaint with the watch thus far. Please help!
Thanks!
Jeremy
It's only 1 button, but I turned off motion and the screen only comes on if I press the button or get a notification
I also have had my motions off

Under Settings -> Motions -> I have both Wake-up gestures & Mute/pause off/deselected.
Of note I have the clock always on (Settings -> Style -> Clocks -> Clock always on) so the watch shows a grayed out simple time clock when screen is off. I just checked to see if the watch face will stay off if I turn off the "always on" and this seems to solve the issue.
However, to be honest I really like having the grayed out time showing because honestly it IS a watch and I want to be able to easily glance down and check the time. I still easily get a days battery out of the watch with the clock showing and I get annoyed if I have to "turn my watch on" every time I want to know the time and lets be honest, the motions thing sucks and I just feel like an idiot shaking my wrist around trying to get the clock to show....
Does anyone know of a work around for this?

Only other option is set the security pin

I totally agree! There should be an option to tick under settings to keep the touchscreen inactive while "Screen Always On" is active.
And it is supper annoying!
