I have a i9020A and my screen will not time out. I have it set to 15 sec, even installed screebl and set it to 15 sec....no matter what i do the screen won't turn off unless i press the power button......tried multiple reboots and no fix....how do i fix this? this is becoming a real pain
Try doing a factory reset. I had the same problem. It was not the first factory reset that solved it but the second one. Make sure you do not install the apps immediately. After the facotory reset use it for a day or two and observe. Then install the apps one by one. I think some apps cause this problem.

Is the phone plugged in? There's an option to keep screen alive during charging which may be enabled?

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.

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.
Am I the only one who has been having issues with the lock screen locking up on unlock? had this issue before I rooted am still having this issue.
Find i have to relock (power button) a few times before it starts to work!
Haven't had this problem. It has been smooth since stock. I find it weird that you had the issue before rooting.
Do you have any custom kernels? Any homescreen widgets? Does it happen consistently?
Nope, none, no stock widgets or anything like that, about as stock as you can get.
Happens once every 10 unlocks i would say, might have to send it back!
I can confirm this issue
Face unlock is on with pattern unlock as backup
Whenever face unlock fails I try to enter pattern....pattern does not work
Phone doesn't even show pattern(like its not accepting touch input and I do have it set to "show pattern" )
Slide up to Google Now when unlock pattern screen appear and you get new unlock pattern screen.....entering pattern here works
I suspect it is related to face unlock....when face unlock fails it never locks for touch input
This error occurs 70% of the time not always

I have removed root etc done a fresh wipe and still have the unlock lag issue l, i don't use face unlock. going to try and get a swap from o2 today.
Used to have this problem when using autobrightness
Mine has hung a few times on the lockscreen and each and every time it has, Auto brightness has took a dump.
I don't recall it doing it more than one per reboot though, I'll have to monitor that.

Yes I have this exact issue and posted on it about a week ago in the Q&A forum.
I push the power button and I cannot drag the slide unlock. If I wait 10 seconds it sometimes unfreezes and lets me. I have to cycle the power button until it finally lets me slide unlock.
I've completely wiped the device and that has had no benefit.
What apps do you have installed? I've wondered if it's an app.
I use Words with Friends, IMDB, Reddit is Fun, Tapatalk, and Google News & Weather widget. I'm going to try disabling auto brightness to see if that fixes as suggested above.

This happens to me all the time. Super annoying! I don't use auto brightness and it happens with any lock I use, slide, pattern, pin. Should I contact Google?

I have also been experiencing this, really is infuriating not being able to unlock your own phone sometimes... Usually cycling the screen on and off a few times seems to work.
I ended up ripping off my brand new BestSkinsEver thinking it might have been the cause!
Same here. In my case, i am using PIN and sometimes it lags out while trying to enter my pin and i have to press power button to lock it and try again.

I have the same problem, and I think i have found a way to replicate the issue.
1. Turn off the screen.
2. Wait around 5 seconds.
3. Put three fingers on the screen at the same time.
4. And without moving the fingers turn on the screen.
At this time the touchscreen doesn't respond or it has some kind of lag and you have to reunlock the screen to make it work again.
Can anyone test this?
Sorry for my english.

This way the lock screen is unresponsive but I feel that it is not the same issue.
The lag I usually experience with the bug is more like the phone doesn't wake up properly and can't handle the input in (real) time
PS. I had this on my 8 GB model (sold) and 16 GB model
My nexus4 cannot automatically lock the screen anymore, The setting is that it should turn off the screen after 1 minutes, but the screen just keep on light all the time, the only way is pressing the power button manually.
The ROM version is 4.2.1. Do anyone have the some issue? How to resolve it? Thanks a lot.
Mine locks after a given time. Try rebooting and report if it changed something maybe... Or try changing the screen off time (for ex. try 15 seconds).

Change given time does not work , after reboot it is OK, The question is it will not lock automatically after a few time use.
Really strange....
Is your phone rooted?

No, after deleted some apps, it works OK in the last two days. May have some relationship with the apps.
I will keep watching...
I had this problem with the S3 in the early days. Something would trigger the screen the light up and then it would stay until I noticed. Occasionally I would find the phone very hot with the battery mostly drained. I turned off all the fancy eye tracking options but it kept doing it. Resets would help but the problem would return after a while. Eventually I think an update sorted it.
I had forgotten about this until now. Now my S4 is doing the same. Something triggers the screen to light up e.g. fully charged and it stays on. It does go dark but still stays on. Again resetting it fixes it for a while but the problem eventually returns again.
I have set the screen to time out and made sure keep awake is unchecked in developer options.
Is this a known issue?

Yes I am. I was using audioglow but noticed it wasn't transparent at the top so switched to on of the stock Samsung ones. It appears to be behaving atm after a reset but if it starts playing up again I will switch to a static wallpaper and see.
Try an application like Wakelock Detect (instsall from Play Store) to see which application is keeping your Screen or CPU awake...
Maybe that'll help you solve the problem.

Its just the image that comes up when you boot up the phone.
Cant remember the filename tho
For some reason my screen won't shut off when I press the power button or by itself after any amount of time. I made sure all of the settings were set right that might keep it on. I know it's not hardware damage because I've pretty much never dropped it or handled it hard. The power button still works because it will get the turn off, restart, etc screen to go. Any idea how to fix it? I already did a factory reset.

Download wakelock detector and see which app is keeping your screen on.
Dialed that number, the dimming worked, but the sleep button didn't do anything. I'll try that app out and see what it says.
In my understanding *#0*# dialing is for hardware check, if sleep is not working from there means it has nothing to do with any app & better to take to service centre.

It didn't do it until after I tried to change my boot screen. Know if that would do anything? No boot animations go off besides the galaxy note 3 one (no Tmobile or samsung animation, and no shut off animation). I also rooted it so would they still help me even though the knox counter is 0x1?
Any help? Using the wakelock app it says that system manager application is used a lot more than anything else. Not sure what it does.

That fixed it. I'm not sure why I didn't already try that since it seems kinda obvious. Don't know what made it do that though. Do you happen to know if modifying the boot animations can mess other things up?

Mine does this every time I reboot my phone. I have to press and hold the home key, pick the pie chart, pick RAM and pick "Clear Memory". Then it's fine til the next time I reboot.
I had my note 3 with the same problem and solved it recovering the original system/media/bootsamsung*.qmg files.
to solve the problem plug the charger and unplug it immediately and plug it back in again. This is also the reason why the problem is caused. So doing it again will solve the problem.
