Screen time out not staying set - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone had any problems with the screen timeout? I've set it like 10 times and some how it keeps defaulting back to 15 seconds which drives me crazy. Thanks

i noticed this after i turned off puzzle lock. Turn puzzle lock back on and the screen will time out again.

Touchscreen freeze after standby

I've fixed the sod after flashing 2.14 radio on my tmous hd2. However, now when I return from standby, the screen turns on but I can't unlock it using touchscreen. I can unlock it fine if I enable the menu button, after which the touchscreen will still not work but menu button does. Then after about 30 sec everything works.
This problem only happens after being on standby for a long time, ie. 30 min plus. I'm using shubcraft rom.
Is this the freezing error from g sensor or something else?

I had the same problem... for some reason it went away on its own.... which probably means it will Come back on it's own but hey...
I'd look into the g sensor thing though.....

Try waking up the phone with the yes/call/send/green key. (Instead of no/hangup/red/power key)
Also if you disable auto rotate from settings display, you won't get touch freezes because of g sensor. You can try it.
You can even disable g sensor completely if you want, but you don't need to as auto rotate fix works.
Please provide feedback.
I've uninstalled some programs and changed the settings and it seems to have gotten better. I put back on the auto rotation settings and so far so good, so I don't know exactly what did it.

You may also take a look at your setcpu profiles is yore using it. My screen off profile was set at 245/245 and I had a lot of wake-problems. I adjusted it to 384/384 and it is 95% better. The battery barely suffers. Just my .02.

Yea I have it at 384-245. It's not too bad lately. I've updated the kernel again, happened once recently.

I've noticed that if your wifi is set to "always on" i get this error consistently. It went away once I disabled that setting.

Delay on locking screen when it is turned off

I like to turn off my screen when I am not using my galaxy tab. If I come back after a couple minutes, it annoys me that I have to unlock my tablet.
I would like a way for the screen not to lock until I haven't touched the tablet for 5 minutes, but any less than that it then it doesn't prompt for code.
Is there a setting or app that allows me to do this?

Sgt sleep/awake glitch

Twice now my tab has been put to awake and it will not take my visual password. And when I try to put it back to sleep it won't work, it just dims the screen. I have to wait until it allows me to turn it off, which it won't let me for like 30 to 60 seconds.

I've seen that, and then have to do a reboot. But I only seen it happen when I have the Wifi set to disconnect when screen turns off. I haven't seen it when I have the Wifi set to never disconnect.

That makes sense, I have mine set to disconnect.

This glitches are supposed to get fix with the up coming update.
This has happened to me multiple times, and I do not (and never have) had my wifi set to disconnect when the screen is off.
Assuming they'll be fixed with updates, it's not such a big dea.

Agreed.

The quick fix (that's shorter than rebooting the thing) is to hold down power till the shutdown / silent mode prompt comes up, select silent and it kicks the tablet free from it's limbo.
However it doesn't fix the issue as it will stick again when you lock.

Display Timeout

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.
