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.

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.

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?

nope
for some reason its working now...no clue what was going on
I have done a little looking around and came up with nothing so I thought I would post. Where are the sleep settings in CM7 for the wifi? I haven't found anything yet, and the wifi goes off when the screen turns off. Is there anyway I can set it so that wifi stays on all the time? I want to be able to get google talk notifications and email notifications all of the time, without having to wake up the kindle to get them.
in Wi-Fi settings, hit menu than advanced settings. its technically on by default, but it does drop off randomly on occasion

Thanks for the reply. I couldnt find those settings for the life of me. Mine was set to sleep the wifi when screen is off. It was set that way by default. Im going to see how the battery drain is when set to always on.

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?

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.

Anyone else having issues with the wifi turning off on its own? Got my S5 yesterday on AT&T. There have been a few times that the wifi will turn off and it can't be turned back on unless I restart.
I've experienced this with wifi settings as is out-of-the-box and when I changed the option to only have it on during sleep while plugged in.

Try this, go into settings, press wifi, then press the button consisting of 3 dots in the top right corner and then press advanced. where the settings state "keep wifi on during sleep", make sure it is set to always.
also check the wifi timer is not on either.
Let me know how you guys get on

Yes, that's the problem. It is fixed by not using the feature... Great, isn't it?

I have the exact same issue and am thinking to call warranty and see what they can do. This happens on any router, very annoying. You can avoid phone restarts btw, just put the phone in airplane mode and back in normal, when you do that it will be able to turn wifi back on. I am wondering is this bug on every att galaxy s5?
this bug occurs when you have the keep WiFi on during sleep option off. this saves a lot of battery, and to me avoiding this option isn't a fix to the problem, because on every android device I have I make sure WiFi turns off during sleep and never had issues reconnecting back when I wake up the device but galaxy s5 has that issue
hello
i have note 4 n910c with 6.0.1
My screen doesn't automatically time out if I press the home button or the power button to turn on my screen. In order for the screen to turn off, I have to manually press the power button. Otherwise, the screen just stays on and drains my battery !!!!!
I should also note that if I receive notifications, my screen lights up and I have to either dismiss the notification or manually turn off the screen.
i downgraded to 5.1.1 it worked for few days then the same issue again
i formatted my device and flashed most recent stock rom 6.0.1 again few days and the same problem screen not turn off automatically
any solutions?
by the way when i use smart manger and end all RAM applications screen turn off work good immediately then after few minutes not turn off again
You can try widgetsoid app, that haves a big list of toggle widgets, and no lock screen is one of their widgets.

Confirmed same issue here. Also same issue when using s-cover. Very annoying. Now that I've trained myself to manually turn off the screen, I'm getting much better battery life than I was with LP.

It would be helpful if you told others what the app was, so that they can try your solution when they come across this thread...
