Hi there,
While I watch a movie on TV via multimedia dock, my atrix keeps locking up (at least three times per movie). When it happens, I unlock the screen and resume the movie which is very annoying.
Although I set up "Screen timeout" to "Never timeout", it keeps happening. Am I missing something here???
Thanks very much for your help in advance!
Try the "screenon" widget in the market just to make sure on the timeout issue.
As for the lock screen itself, the ever popular "no lock" widget is free and gets rid of the annoying lock screen...

I tried that app and it never worked. What I found is that if I change the screen lock setting to "never timeout", the screen does not get locked as long as the phone is not on multimedia dock. Does anyone have this issue?
That's a strange one. Mine never used to lock when it was on the dock.
Is your dock plugged in so your atrix is charging? If not, maybe it's some power saving mode making it shut off?
Otherwise, maybe something in the ROM you're running.
Yeah, I know. It looks like nobody has this problem. Yes, the dock is plugged in and is being charged. I found "Stay awake (Screen will never sleep while charging)" option under Developement the other day. I will check that option and see if it resolves the problem. Right now, I have to get up every 30 minutes and move the mouse around on Webtop Mode window on my TV during a movie. This is very annoying.
I have Bell's stock rom: 45.2.17.MB860.BellMobility.en.CA (2.3.4). My phone is unlcocked (on Rogers) and rooted.
in settings, you need to turn off the auto lock

I'm taking a wild guess and saying it's probably an app or something causing you grief. I've never heard of anyone else having this issue that anyone was able to replicate.
Maybe you want to look at your apps and see if you have any that might cause that kind of behaviour. Try removing them and see if it fixes your issue, if not, move on to the next app.
Or if you're really fed up, you can always try a factory reset and start from scratch.
I have the same problem on mine.
I think I found the problem. It has to do with the Security Lock and the Fingerprint scanner. Once fingerprints are entered the "Security Lock Timer" becomes disabled. Mine was set to 20 minutes. I reset it to "When display is off"
Settings->Location & Security
If "Security Lock Timer" is greyed out, you'll have to clear out your fingerprints and do the setup again.
->Change Screen Lock
Select None.
Select "Clear Stored Fingerprints"
Go back into "Change Screen Lock"
Select PIN and enter a pin.
It'll dump you back out to "Location & security"
Security lock timer should now be enabled.
Select "When display is off"
Go back into "Change screen lock" and set up your fingerprint scanner again.
See if that fixes the problem.
***EDIT*** Didn't work. Mine still engages a lock after about 20 minutes.
Setting screen lock to "None" didn't help either. Still times out in about 20 minutes (like a screensaver).
I found the solution!!!
The problem was the screen saver settings in WebTop mode. The other day, I saw a setting icon on WebTop mode and found that the screen saver was set to 30 minutes. I chaged it to 3 hours and now I can watch a movie without getting up every 30 minutes. Yeah!!!
Oh that's cool. I didn't know that.
Thanks

I used the update.zip from the Samsung site to update to EB13, everything went off just fine except my Epic now takes an average of 2 seconds to wake from sleep after pressing the power button, sometimes going up to 4 or 5. Not the worst thing in the world, but pretty annoying.
I narrowed it down to my non-usage of the lock screen. I typically run without using a lock screen at all (disabled via SwitchPro Widget). If I turn the lock screen back ON, my Epic wakes from sleep either instantly or within 1/2 a second. With the lock screen disabled (no pattern lock either), it's super slow to wake.
Anyone have any ideas on what I could try?
Mine works just fine, but I'm using the lock screen, try uninstalling that widget and see if it corrects the problem when you use the lock screen.
Small update to this. I had an idea to move all the apps that I had moved to the SD card back to the phone to see if that helped. It does. With the lock screen on, my Epic comes back from sleep instantly every time. With lock screen off it varies between 1/2 and 1 second.
The apps I moved to SD were ones I hardly used.. I don't know why that would have an effect on the wake time?
Mine seems a bit slow too. But it's not the 4 or 5 seconds you described. It seems like it's about one second, when it used to be anywhere between instantly and half a second.
It's kind of annoying because the delay is just barely too long to where I start second guessing myself on whether or not I pushed the button in all the way or not.
Go to your display setting and reset your horizantal calibration accelerometer... that fixed my phone waking up issue...

Unfortunately, I had already tried recalibrating. I do, however, have no lock on and widget locker running. Do any of you use either of these?

I use the same program as you do and I have the exact same problem So your not alone.
Mine is slow to wake also, about a second. When its plugged into the charger its instant, weird.
I'm glad we aren't alone though. Hopefully if this is a big enough issue, people will look into it. And also, they've pulled the EB13 update from Sprint and Samsung's website.
It's causing problems with reading media from the SD card and also has data issues. So hopefully in the new one, they will fix this problem too?
Looks like it's No Lock, from what I can tell. If you disable it, it comes on instantly. If it's enabled, it takes it a moment to wake up.
I have a problem with 2Player & Skifta and when the tablet comes into hibernation between I lose the connection with my TV. I had an Archos 10.1 never had a problem
Xoom is my WiFi and it is in root mode. I sometimes get error messages upnp 0705 - Transport is locked
Have you any idea? Help me Please HELPPPPPP

To keep the screen on you can go to Settings > Applications > Development and choose "Stay Awake".
You can also download Quick Settings (Free) from the market which will prevent dimming of the screen when "Stay Awake" is selected. Choose Never Timeout from the Quick Settings Device Timeout option.
it works on archos 101
Is there a program to leave the screen on ?
Thanks a lot
Stay Awake I selected my monitor goes off but still

Did you try Quick Settings? All I can say is that the Xoom screen never turns off or dims if you select Never Timeout for screen timeout with this app. Does the Xoom screen stay on when the problem occurs? I have never tried connecting to TV so if this does not work, there is something else going on.
What does not work is the extinction of the screen. There is time and the maximum is 30 minutes
Or by what it includes only Xoom when plugged in?

I think you need to be more specific. I do not understand what you are saying and you did not answer my question regarding the Xoom screen staying on.

AGAIN be more specific of the state of the Xoom when then issue occurs. Is the Xoom screen ON and BRIGHT when the problem occurs?
Quick settings with Never Timeout setting allows the Xoom screen to stay on and never turn off or dim. If this is working on the Xoom, are you still having the same issue?
The first problem was 2player
Your answer: lit screen
Second problem When I select stay awake there is another option timeouts and maximum 30 minutes
It's ok I find screen off timeout software Thank you for your help and effort to understand me
like the subject says, any way to do this without root/custom ROM?
when mounted in my car, it's super annoying to have to turn the screen on, and do a unlock, then get back into the music app (spotify, pandora, google music, etc) just to be able to change songs or something similar.
i know that navigation will not turn the screen off while in use, but everything else seems to. i used to use WakeLocker with my Galaxy S and GS2, but it doesn't seem to work with my Nex4.
thanks.
Go into settings, go down to about phone then scroll down to build number.
Tap "build number" rapidly until a message on the screen says something like "you are now a developer".
This will allow you to go to developer settings.
There you will find a setting allowing you to keep the screen on during charging.

Wow THAT'S where my reboot to recovery mode option went lol. That's great, what a fantastic gem of info! I use a speed widget for quick trips since my cars speedo became more unreliable (temp fix until I implement a permanent solution). Now I can keep the screen on while docked without downloading an entire app just for the task on my SGS3... Screen burn, you are no longer more important than my personal safety on the road!
Does "DayDreams" not work for you? My phone displays the Clock Daydream whenever charging.. and does the whole time.
While your phone is not "docked" when in your car, DayDreams has to be enabled for "Charging" by clicking "When to Daydream" since the phone is charging not docked.
As for the "Stay awake" options (Developer Options>Stay awake) works just fine.. its been on the charger for 20 min now, and screen is still displaying the home-screen. (time out is still set to default 30 sec)

Daydream works...
My N4 was away to repair a broken screen. Got it back on Wednesday and it immediately updated to 4.3. All was well, except for one weird issue where hitting a notification from the pull down would take me to the app via the pattern lock. I put this down to having played with some lock screen settings in Setting Profiles app (trying to disable it in certain settings), but it might not have been.
I've done the first device restart today, and after rebooting there are a few big issues.
1. I don't appear to have any mobile network, though wifi is connected. I had a good signal before the reboot.
2. I'm not getting a lock pattern or any lock screen at all, and it's not asked for the SIM pin
3. Hitting a notification in the pull-down makes the 'lock' clicking sound as it takes me to the app
4. The home button doesn't work. I see a slight dim of the screen and it makes the lock click sound, but nothing happens. Back and multitask work fine
Help! Any ideas? Are they known issues? Can't seem to find any reference online.
I'm on stock, using Nova Launcher

Those are not any known issues or anything I have read since Andrid 4.3 came out. Try a factory reset to see if that solves the problem. If not, maybe the screen wasn´t the only thing broken on your device. Ask for warranty.
Thanks, will see how I get on this evening and try a factory reset if it doesn't fix itself.
Seems to be a weird problem related to the lock screen and when it should/shouldn't kick in...

Glad I could help.
Ok, I've done a factory reset. Not had much chance to play as it took hours to reinstall everything. But I've just had the word issue where selecting something from the notification tray (the setting profiles shortcut) took me to the lock screen to put in my pattern first, then took me to the app.
EDIT no pattern to when it does it, seems random and can be while I'm using the device, so the lock screen shouldn't kick in for any reason
Any ideas? Faulty device?
So for the last couple of days my HTC One M7 would recieve a notification and the screen would just stay on the entire time for no apparent reason. Im on latest OmniROM and its starting to bug me. Like for instance I get new mail on Gmail in the middle of the night. The screen turns on, it show the notification, and it doesnt turn off until I turn it off. If I restart, its fine for a few hours, but as soon as I get a notification, the problem reappears.
Nobody, seriously?

Dude, you took less than 24 hours before bumping. Not everyone checks the forums regularly.
Also, per the FAQ, bug reports belong on jira.omnirom.org
However the behavior you describe is a feature in Omni. Let me guess - you turned on Active Display and forgot about it? (Since it's off by default, and the behavior you describe is not something I've ever seen on any device when AD was disabled.)

Nope.
Just to note, I am seeing the same thing on my nexus 5 running the 10/13 nightly. AD is disabled and I have never enabled it. I was wondering why sometimes I would pull my phone out of my pocket and the display would be on. Since reading this I have verified that this happens when I get a notification. I will submit a bug report on jira.omnirom.org.
eta: oops, I just realized you need an account for jira.omnirom.org.

This doesn't occur on any of my devices, including a Nexus 5.
Are you running some sort of notification customization app of some sort?
Define "screen on" - Lockscreen? Blank with backlight on?

I am not running any notification customization apps just straight Omni nightlies. It happens with any notification that I receive. It goes to the lock screen and stays on until I unlock it. I am going to wipe and reinstall the ROM and try and determine if it's an app issue.

Do you have "screen stays on while charging" enabled? Even then, it shouldn't be turning on for a notification in the first place.
None of my devices turn on for a notification in any situation, and the screen always shuts off quickly (faster than the screen timeout setting) when it's at the lock screen unless "screen stays on when charging" is set in Developer Options.
