Hello,
What is the Today Timeout Setting for ?
Mine is set to 4 hours.
Thanks
This means if your device is idle/off for 4 hours, it will return to the Today screen, regardless of what screen you had open before.
Great thanks

Hi to all,
i am running Essential ROM 1.7 (used to run X-Treme before) and on both of them my topaz activates screen every night exactly at 23:59. So it turns on, and go to sleep after 2 minutes (as set in settings). Anyone experienced this? I have bunch of apps installed and don't really want to try uninstalling all of them
Do you use G-Alarm?
Same problem to me and I use galarm.
It is something that G-Alarm does on purpose... If you go to the developer's site, it explains why.
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ageye\G-Alarm"
Don't wakeup at midnight
Because of the Windows alarm bug, G-Alarm wakes the device at midnight so Windows Mobile can rebuild its notification queue. If you turn this off by changing or adding following registry value, it may happen that an alarm doesn't go off:
MidnightWakeUp: False

Glad somebody else asked this, it's been bugging me for a few days but I never got around to posting.
I wouldn't mind the turning on, but mine doesn't turn off! I have my timeouts set to 3 mins for backlight and 4 mins for device (they're high because I use it to play Scrabble!) I've left the midnight thing on for as long as 10 minutes before manually turning it off. Any ideas?
Hi
I think that is poor programming, you can turn the phone on without turning the backlight on and this happens all the time many times a day.

Phil
Can someone please tell me what this in settings does: Today timeout - 4 hours
Thanks
Not 100%- sure but I though it was the time that you phone will automatically flip back to the home screen (if you didn't play with the phone in the mean time.)
This was already in wm6.1 withou that manila...so I think this is not this what you explained...

Corrent. Say you are on opera, you let the phone go to sleep, turn back on 5 minutes later, still on opera. let go to sleep, turn on after the timeout (say 1 hour) and you will get the homescreen instead of opera.
Whether it actually works or not is a different matter. Shame it cannot be set to 5 minutes, it would make it easier to test.
I remember people discussing this on the old-aximsite now mobilitysite about my old ipaq and WM 6.0.
It shouldn't matter much what you set it to in a smartphone, because it's basically "always on", but on a simple pocketpc it meant that the device turned itself on at every given time (for example every 4hrs, or 4hrs after the last time you turned it on) to open the today screen and "update" its content, for example in case you have plugins like "todayagenda" that needed to modify the next appointments according to the current time/day. It was a useless battery drain on a plain pocketpc.
My settings say that my today's timeout is set to 4 hours, but I can tell for sure that device doesn't update the weather which is set to auto-update every 3 hours...it updates when I manually turn screen on...
Hi All,
I am experiencing this issue with the screen timeout since last week. The screen does not time out even if the screen timeout is set to 30 seconds. What actually happens is whenever something like this happens i go into the display settings-->Screen Timeout to check and find that no value is selected. The I choose the 30 seconds option and then it starts working.
Another issue is the location update on the Genie Weather widget. It worked fine till recently. Now the location is updated only if I enter a my Home Wifi Network.
Has anybody experienced any of the above issues. A solution will be much appreciated.
Note: Am on stock 2.3.1 and not rooted or installed a custome rom.
Cheers
Sam
Sounds like you need to factory reset
I did that a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to get rid of the lookout app. And since then am experiencing this.

Hey folks, I just got my nexus and was unable to find another topic regarding the screen timeout feature (admittedly, searching the forums on a phone isn't easy).
My Nexus 4 will not go to sleep. I have the screen timeout set to 30 seconds, and have had the phone sitting on a counter for 20 minutes, screen still ablaze. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue?

Does the display dim?

Wonder, why that's happening. mine goes to sleep in 30 seconds. IDK if you did this already but a good reboot might work.
Is your phone currently charging?
Settings -> Developer Options -> Stay awake
I don't know how but I accidentally enabled this somehow. Whenever I charged my phone the screen would never turn off. Once got left on for 3+ hours
Timeout Eagles
I've never encountered that
Could be due to an app.
I had the same symptoms -- screen would not turn off by itself regardless of what I had the sleep setting set to. I could turn the screen off by hitting the side button, but it would not turn off by itself.
Then I remembered that there's some apps I installed that had permission to keep the screen on, presumably even if it is not the active app on screen.
I didn't have time to figure out which one was guilty, so I rebooted my phone to unload them and sure enough the phone does sleep automatically now (until I load up the errant app again, I suppose).
Good luck.

Thread moved. Questions belong in Q&A.
It definitely sounds like an app, e.g. I have dolphin browser set so it always keeps the screen on so I can watch stuff but if I don't close the app the screen will be left on obviously when I put it down and forget it.
Thank you for moving this the proper forum. I guess it was just hanging app. I guess I was just over anxious since the phone was brand new. Now it has been documented for future users. Thanks everybody.

Hi I've had the phone for about 3 months now and it's only in the last week that I noticed my screen timeout is not sticking. I set it to 1 minute but it always reverts back to 15 seconds. I enabled /disabled smart stay and in secure lock settings I set it to lock automatically when the screen is off instead of giving it the default 5 seconds.
Anyone has similar issues or suggestions please?
I'm having the same issue! Been looking online for over a month for solutions and have come up empty. It seems as though it isn't on Samsung's radar yet for it to be resolved with an Android update because the recent one didn't address the issue

I had this same issue and it was driving me nuts. However, I found a workaround that seems to be working. Change your screen time out to something else, like 2 minutes and press back until you're out of the settings. Then go back in and change it to 1 minute. For whatever reason, this fixed it for me
