I have a new F1 which has been set up with PIN, Face and Fingerprint unlocking. Screen timeout is set to the default of 1 minute, and all other screen lock options are set to default. The problem is that the phone does not always lock when the screen is off. Sometimes the phone will be unused for 30 minutes or more but the screen lock will not have activated.
It's running Android v8, with a software update downloaded yesterday (12/8/19).
Has anyone else had issues with the screen lock not activating?

I wiped my Folio 100, installed the FolioMod v1.3d, and from here I installed a lot of apps, and changed a lot of settings, one of them is the screen lock (PIN)...
Now I want to turn it off, but the screen lock option under Location & security is missing, so now I can't turn off tor change he screen lock pin?
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
Can you change the phone to black out the screen to save battery, but not lock for a certain time? For instance, I want the screen to black out after 30 seconds, but not to lock for 5 minutes. Is that possible?
I know you can do that with the passcode lock. It was quite a scandal recently.
I don't think you can disable the lock screen once the screen has timed out, at least not in stock settings. Search the market I would think there's an app for that.

Hi
I have setup my SE xperia mini pro (2.3.4) to use a patternlock screen, but I would like the timeout to be slower than the screen timeout so that I can quickly respond to replies and other stuff if the phone is in use.
So what I am looking for is a setting to do something like this:
Screen times out after two minutes and turnsoff but the pattern lock only activates after 15 minutes so that I can quickly turn the screen on when somebody instantly replies to a message.
Can I set that up? It was possible on the iphone I had before.
Seems like the other LTE SGS3 variants have the ability to have the normal lock screen and a pattern or other security lock screen enabled at the same time. On the i9300, if you enable pattern lock screen, the normal lock screen goes away completely. Meaning that when you lock your phone via the power button or have it timeout and you turn in back on before your pattern timeout is reached, there is no lock screen. I know I can select lock instantly with power key but I'd rather have the pattern kick in after about 5 minutes and have the normal lockscreen active before the 5 minutes.
This is native behavior on the AT&T LTE SGS3 but not on the i9300. Any way to get this working in the i9300?
I'm looking for this option also. My old Incredible took me to the swipe lock screen when I hit power to turn off the screen. But I had it set to require a swipe unlock after 10 minutes. Tried playing with the (Verizon) SGS3 settings and no go. They both turn on at the same time - only after my 10 minutes setting elapses. Other than that, the phone wakes (with the power OR home) to apps on the screen waiting to be accidentally launched.
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.
