Is there a setting or a way to keep the screen on without having to tap the screen every 10 minutes?
I've tried four different ICS ROMs, and in each one the screen always blacks out at 10 minutes of idle time. It doesn't even matter if I set the display sleep to 30 minutes. At least it's easy to wake up. Just need to tap the screen. But when I'm running on the treadmill watching a video with my tablet just out of reach, it's not so easy to tap the screen. I've tried several apps that keep the screen on, but they don't seem to work.
Search "no screen off" in the market
Make sure in the ROM settings you have it so that it won't turn the screen off on idle

No matter what I set in Settings -> Power, screen dims after a (short) while of inactivity both on battery or power. I had similar issue sometimes with my Elf. I just had to check those boxes and uncheck them and press OK, sometimes I had to restart it. But it never worked with my HD. It always dims backlight after some inactivity no matter what I set in power settings. I want to have backlight on full power (according to L-sensor) all the time even if I don't touch it for hours. It's really annoying to tap screen every minute when reading something because it dims.

did you install any extra software? could be some conflicting settings/registry entries

I remember it was like that out of box ;-( but the time was longer, now it dims after one minute.
I've got the same problem. Very frustrating indeed.

I unchecked the "Turn off backlight if device is not used for x sec" and the phone never dims, so it seems to be a problem in your devices/software only.
I'm running jack's ROM v2.
I've set the screen-lock to automatically activate when idle for "0 minutes". I expected this to mean that if my phone dims, then it'll screen lock.
But the problem is, after 30-60 secs (I haven't counted), it will screen lock. I've set the screen to dim at 3 mins, but the lock comes on a lot sooner.
Anyone have any ideas how to change the registry so that I can make the screen lock only when I press the screen-off button at the top of the phone?? Or at least make it screen-lock only when the phone naturally dims at 3 minutes??
Any suggestions would be great
THANKS!!
bump? someone?
My Tab 4 is password-protected with a 30-minute delay. But when the tablet wakes, I'd like it to always go to the lock screen, in order to protect against waking accidentally if the tablet gets jostled in its carrier. The lock screen should just require a swipe, unless 30 minutes have elapsed since last use.
That's the way it works by default on my Android phone, but I can't find any setting to make my Tab 4 work that way. Instead, if it's been less than 30 minutes, the tablet wakes directly to the home screen, or whatever screen was last in use (after 30 minutes, I get the lock screen with password, which is appropriate).
Is there any way to get the desired lock-screen behavior on the Tab 4?
Hi there. I'm currently having an issue with my S7 edge where the lock screen won't turn off after some time. The screen does turn off when I'm using the phone normally from the main screen after some time passes but it's just the lock screen I have issues with.
Whenever I charge my phone or just hit the power button once to see notifications on the lock screen, it'll just stay like that until the same time the main screen timeout configured time passes (5 minutes) and this is getting annoying and somewhat draining a little bit more of my battery. Previously it was working fine and the lock screen would turn off after around 10 seconds or so.
Has anyone faced any similar issues with their phones? I haven't tried a factory reset yet but I'd want that to be a last resort.
Clear Background apps.
It happens when you left some games or apps by pressing home button but it keeps running. Hope they will fix this soon.
Have you tried pressing that little button on the right side of the phone? That usually helps.
Yeah...I already tried that with no luck. Even tried uninstalling some recent apps in case one of them was cause but it didn't work either. Any other suggestions?
The issue isn't with turning the phone screen off by pressing the power button, it's the lock screen itself not turning off after a few seconds when it usually does.
I'm having the same problem, had good lock installed thought that may have been the problem but after uninstalling that I'm still having the same problem with samsungs oem lock screen. I too would like an answer or fix for this. also to note, in developer options the stay awake is off and no apps running in the background.
I am having this problem now also. The screen will lock, but the display stays on but dimmed. I can tap the screen and it will get bright. Now I must click the side button every time I set my phone down or the screen will drain the battery.
I'm facing exactly the same issue. When the screen is locked, it stays on for the same time confirmed to when its unlocked. For example, 1 minute, instead of 10-15 seconds.
Any workaround discovered for this?
Did anyone find a solution to this problem?
I thought that I might've been the only one! This problem only appeared on my phone after the Nougat update, and it's extremely annoying as I rely on notifications waking the screen for my main messaging app.

Hello, I am having the same issue in my Redmi note 11 pro plus Phone. In my case The screen will lock but display stays on with dimmed light. Usually it is not visible during day, but in dark room its visible. And it stays the same way whole night. And battery is fully drained and phone is turned off. Is there a solution for this??
My screen always cuts off after being idle for around 10-15 seconds. It doesn't matter what I set the timeout to, it cuts off if I don't touch the screen for 10 seconds, even when I'm moving the phone around! The only fix I found was to enable caffeine, which is annoying when my screen accidentally turns on and never shuts back off unless I manually turn it off (like when my phone is in my pocket or a bag and I don't notice the screen is on). Does anybody know what to do? I already tried resetting and that didn't work.
