Display timeout setting not sticking - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a stock, unrooted Nexus 4. Every time I set my display timeout to 1 minute, an hour later (amount of time seems random) it's back to 15 seconds.
I've had apps installed to keep my screen on when google music is playing, but have since removed them to see if they were the cause. I also removed the Snapdragon Battery Guru in case that was the issue. Nothing helped. I'm out of ideas, and as far as I can see I have no other apps that would have to do with the display or the battery installed.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks!

Try downloading "screen off" on the play store. It's a plug in that may fix your issue. The developer's name is Dougi hsu.

4.2 causing N7 to screen to wake up once an hour

I have a magnetic cover and even when it's closed every hour my N7 screen comes on to the pattern lock screen. Despite trying, I can't find the app (if not a system bug) that's causing this.
Anyone know specifically how I might use an app like BetterBatteryStats to pinpoint what triggers this? I'm finding BetterBatterStats difficult to configure to show this (if it can).
I had the same issue but every 30 sec. The problem was an app (quick agenda). After removing the app it's fine now.

Yeah I think it's an app. But I have ~ 70 installed! I'm now suspecting Lux or Google Music (it had a track paused) or Spotify (now set off line). Would be good if there was a hook/app to see the app/process that triggered the wake up like that.
I have to make changes and "home in" on the offending app by trial and error. After every change I have to wait an hour, and not miss the screen waking up

i was inches away from a factory reset as i just got the OTA and was really baffled by such an inconvenience of battery drainer.
thx so much for your comment - quick agenda was the culprit!
(even tho i miss the widget already)

[Q] What's causing the screen to wake up randomly for no reason

My screen randomly turns on and sits at the lock screen for a few seconds for no apparent reason. There are no pending notifications, etc. I assume there might be a rogue app causing this, but I don't have that many installed and even less apps doing any background tasks. Any idea on how to find the culprit?
I found this bug report where some apps are mentioned, but I'm not running any of them.
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39625
On the Galaxy Nexus this issue was sometimes caused by a flaw in the micro-USB connector. I sincerely hope that is not the case with the Nexus 4.
I noticed that the phone wakes up whenever it reconnects to Wi-Fi. I was changing some router settings last night and I constantly saw the phone waking up shortly after the router rebooted. However, this is not the only scenario where it does it.
Mine has done the same, no idea why, only seen it the once, but it certainly happened, sitting three feet away from me, and suddenly Bingo! its on.
Mine wakes every few minutes. Certain apps (tasker, facebook etc) and syncing seem to cause it to happen more often but even if I disable most apps it still happens. I've been unable to identify the source with better battery stats. It happens bone stock and on CM10.1. I'm still getting better battery life than my GNexus but it's maddening.
Mine too. It will do it a few times in succession then be still for a while before starting again. No apps open and google sync off.

So my Nexus 4 doesn't want to go to sleep.
- I have sleep set to 15 seconds
- Dream is off (just in case)
It just stays on. It doesn't matter if it's on the the lock screen or at the home screen. I'm guessing some app is keeping it awake. It just started last night, but I don't think I have installed any new apps. Maybe it from an update.
solved
My phone's screen also used to wake up randomly. it was very annoying, especially at midnight
finally, I found out the reason by using "Wakelock detector" app which is freely available in market.
here is XDA thread about WLD: WLD at XDA Thread
the cause of problem was ad Notification, it was holding "full wakelock" (you can see it in screenshot)
good Luck!

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?

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.

Large amount of Audioout_2 and Audioout_3 wakelocks

So I get these wakelocks for some reason, about 2-10 minutes of Audioout_2 and Audioout_3 per hour when idle, with screen off.
And they seem to show up as wakelocks, even if I have my phone active. So I get like 47minutes of this wakelock, but awake time is 56:27minutes and screen on 54 minutes. And this is not the problem until you see how much of this wakelock has kept your phone awake after 24 hours, I had like 3-5 hours. Should I be worried?
APP - Wakelock Detector, BetterBatteryStats.
What I have tried - Uninstalling Viber, no difference. Disabling all lock sounds, touch sounds, dial pad tones, not much difference either.
I didn't have this before, what could it be?
Android 4.3 Stock, not rooted
I seem to be having the same issue. I'm running on stock 4.3, no rooting, I do not have Viber, and while I do have Skype installed, I almost never use it. I have haptic feedback disabled as well as touch sounds.
Rebooting the phone seems to fix the issue, but that's obviously a bit of a pain to do every time.
Other than maybe blaming Poweramp for keeping the wakelock going, I can't think of any other apps that could be causing the issue.

After you reboot when does the issue seem to come back? What apps are you usually using?
Do you have any of these apps - Light Manager, DashClock Widget, Smart Wifi toggler.*
*These apps have no deal with audio wakelocks whatsoever, but still, maybe 4.3 has caused one of those apps to use the audio wakelocks somehow.

My main apps are Gmail, Chrome, Facebook, Twitter, BaconReader and Poweramp. After rebooting the length of the wakelock time definitely isn't as long. And yes, I do have DashClock Widget. I didn't consider that one to be a potential culprit.

I have the same problem.
I noticed that audioout_2 only runs when my screen is on.(most of the time)
The audioout_2 run time and SOT are always close.
The audioout_2 and audioout_3 will not run (very minimum) when your cell goes into deep sleep.
I have mostly Google apps installed.
Edit: After searching on internet,Many users told these wakelocks can be caused if there is a corrupted mediafile (picture,music,video)..
Need a solution for this.

What do you mean corrupted mediafile, like unsupported MP3 file? Could that be a problem? God dammit, this is too complicated.
I have only a few pictures that I have taken with the phone, no videos. Only music could be related.
So I yesterday turned on location services, the results I got were pretty bad. I am not 100% sure that the issue is location services, but I did not have this bad screen_on - awake ratio before. Here are some screens.
I didn't do anything unusual, I might report back tomorrow about results w/o location services.
I left only GPS setting active in location settings. Here are the results.
6hours phone on, Battery left 87%.
55:31min awake, 38min screen on.
1013 wakelock usage 32:12min.
I played a few games, made some calls for the time when screen was awake.
I would call this a success, because usually I could barely make through a day, almost 3hours screen on in 12hour period. And the battery is dead.

I disabled Wi-Fi & mobile network location in Location access settings. But I am not entirely sure that this is a solution.
I am very confused with all this Android and Nexus 4 problem amount and uncertainty, I am not even sure what to believe anymore. I am starting to wish I had bought an iPhone. Maybe it was because I was at just at home and in a city mainly, and the cellphone just didn't have to look for different cell towers, I am not sure what should I even think anymore.
But currently this has helped me, I guess. Disadvantages of this might be that the phone will not be able to select the best server available when indoors... I'm just so tired of Android.
I can't shake off this stupid wakelock, it keeps my phone awake, Android is soo annoying, I would probably never notice this if it weren't for the battery usage apps, but I would notice the horrible battery life on Nexus 4.
Has anyone had this problem and made it go away? Or is still having, and just got through with it and ignores it? Please help me!
I think I had 0 amount of this wakelock in the first few days I got these battery status apps, I had only a few Media, Caldendar, Gmail etc. wakelocks
The wakelocks are caused by the touch sounds that are enabled by default.
Everytime you touch a button on your phone it will make a sound, which will initiate the wakelock. Turn off these sounds in:
Settings -> Sound -> Touch Sound
You can also 'hear' the wakelock, because when you hold the back speaker of the phone to your ear when a sound was just played, you will hear some static noise for ~2-3 seconds after the sound finished playing.
When you listen to music or watching a video you will also get these wakelocks, but that's completely normal.

Right, did You have that before? Or it just turned up recently, I don't remember having this much wakelocks, and why are ''wakelocks'' wakelocks when you are using your phone and the screen is on?
I noticed that if I don't have internet access, the wakelock doesn't come up as much. It's some kind of app, maybe, it very much could be one of Google's, It ain't Viber (for me), I have tried disabling, turning it off, no change in wakelock amount.

To be honest i'm in the same condition u are in. I don't know whats causing these. Try greenifying Google+, Google Now etc. They have helped me a bit in saving some... Google+ updates/syncs, and that makes a wakelock as well.

Do You have Flash Player installed on Your Android device?
This is really weird, I restart the phone, use gmail, and some other apps, turn off screen, check for wake locks, no Audio wake lock at all, I open Chrome, use it a little and then check for wake locks and it has appeared and is at at the top, also other wakelocks have increased count.
Also another matter, I notice a little pop in the speakers sometimes, even though I have set to vibrate only mode.
EVERY TIME I TOUCH THE SCREEN THE SPEAKER TURNS ON, it is just quietly hissing, you need to be in complete silence to hear this. This is definitely causing a big battery drain, I need to fix this ASAP. Anyone has a clue?
Turned off touch sounds, hissing has disappeared. But it literally started hissing after I press anywhere on the screen, even though only a few buttons make a touch sound.
Got to stop typing now, my hands are burning when I'm using Google chrome on my nexus 4...
I disabled Google+ Notifications through Google+(app) > Settings > google account > notifications
And I turned off all Sounds, from Dial pad touch tones to screen lock sound and vibrate on touch. Now I had tried this before the Google+, but I still had the issue with the wakelock.
I get little to none of this wakelock, also turned off google+ backup feature. Disabled some sync options in google account.
But basically I get a lot less of this wakelock now, I am not entirely sure it was Google+, but I have been using the phone casually, as usual for 30+ Hours, charged once, and I get better battery life and much less of this wake lock, phone is mostly in sleep mode when screen is off, about 1-4 Minutes awake.
Now I don't guarantee anything, maybe it's some service that didn't start up this time, but I'm pretty sure that I had opened every app that I was using when I had the problem, this seems to have fixed the problem, see if it helps, if you are experiencing the same issue, and please let me know, thanks!
Oh and I have been using the phone's speaker indeed, for games, Youtube app, Chrome etc. and Received calls, messages, notifications.
Any solution? I'm still having this 1013 wakelock without apparent cause..

Possible NlpCollectorWakelock/NlpWakelock fix

Since day 1, despite factory resets and freezing bloat, my LG G2 has experienced some *insane* wakelocks around NlpCollectorWakelock and NlpWakeLock. We're talking about 2 hours every 10 hours or so of uptime, basically destroying my battery life.
Now, the simple fix for this is to turn off Wifi/Mobile Network Location, voila, phone deep sleeps, life is good. Except this doesn't fly for me, because I still want to use Google Now, and I can use it just fine on my S4 without this insanity.
To get a little better insight, metric-wise, I pulled Velvet.apk from /system/app and self-installed Google Search straight from the market (essentially Google Now) so that I could keep tabs on it in Greenify.
Turns out Google Search was running as much as 200 times per hour and causing wake-up ~5-10 times per hour. I could practically refresh and just watch the count go up and up.
So on a whim, being rooted and a little bit of a risk-taker, I used Titanium Backup and uninstalled Google Play Services. Null. Gone. Kaput.
Then when I launched Google Now again, it requested I nab Google Play Services from the market. So I did. I installed, rebooted.
To my surprise, in the last five hours since doing that, Google Search has run 12 times, and woken up 12 times. Better Battery Stats is reporting NlpCollectorWakeLock at 2 minutes and 8 seconds for ~5 hours uptime, and NlpWakeLock at 2 minutes and 43 seconds.
Anyone else want to take the dive with me and see if this gives them as significant of a before/after as it did for me? My phone is deep sleeping like a champ now and I really hope this keeps up.
tl;dr: Uninstall Google Play Services from /system/app using Titanium Backup, launch Maps or Google Now and then re-install Google Play Services from the market. Reboot. See if location service related wakelocks drop significantly. Rejoice if they do. Lament further if they don't.
Well, I removed Google play services and installed via market this morning. I'm still seeing a ****load of NLP wakelocks, but on the att version I haven't figured out how to completely remove search. Could that be the issue?

Oops, I guess I forgot to mention that I also removed Velvet.apk from /system/app (LG's pre-installed Google Search), and reinstalled that from the market as well. Not sure if that is related.
I, too, have the AT&T version. I will run some more tests today. But so far today with 1 hour screen-on, I have an up time of a little north of 2 hours, with an estimated 60 hours remaining. Obviously that isn't realistic, but by this time before I would be seeing an estimated time of about 9 hours remaining and be sub-90% battery life.

Weird! I wonder why I have/had a Velvet.apk.
Anyway, since my initial post, I've continued monitoring. My runs/wakes are WAY down, trending to about 1-3 per hour, down from a crap ton. My overall wakelock time is roughly 20 seconds per hour, or roughly 8 minutes or so per day, way down from nearly 2 hours/day before. My battery life has gone way up, I'm super happy.
will not uninstall
Tried to do the same with the Verizon G2 and when trying to uninstall this i get a message from titanium back saying it will reboot twice for this to complete, but upon first reboot it boots in to team win recovery? how do i get this complete its process because Google services is always the highest on battery usage on my phone.

Huh, unfortunately I'm on the AT&T, so it is hard for me to comment.
When I did it via TB, it uninstalled in the same session, no reboot. No notification about rebooting twice.
Any other VZW users out there that can comment?
After an hour of idle time my time held awake by NLP wakelocks specifically is only three minutes, a far cry from the eight to ten I was seeing earlier. Will continue to monitor.

Do you have google search to uninstall in titanium backup? I'd try that if you can't find the APK. I had it in my /system/apps and did the uninstall in TB.
I already uninstalled Google search via TB, should I still see this velvet.apk?

I'm on vzw and didn't have a problem deleting Google Play Services. Wakelocks are way down for me too since using the Play Store version. Good find. I was noticing very high wakelock on this for the last several days.
OP, what are your settings on these three pages?
http://imgur.com/a/jc8lo
I'm still getting a ton of wakelocks. Not as much time spent held awake but nowhere near as low down as 1-3 wakes per hour . In 1h48m of non-screen time (out of the past 2h23m), I've got NLPCollectorWakelock waking my device 82 times for ~4 minutes of time held awake and NLPWakelock waking my device **284**(!!) times for 3 and a half minutes of time held awake...
EDIT: just uninstalled an app called "LGSearchProvider.apk" using Titanium Backup. Perhaps this is the same thing as the velvet.apk you were talking about earlier by a different name?

My settings match yours except I have Remote Wipe ability turned off, I still have my phone reporting a location to ADB, though.
Since my last post, I've seen a huge uptick in Google Search runs in Greenify (about 100 in an hour). However, only 5 wakes, and only 26 seconds of wakelock in that same hour. Will report more later.
I uninstalled the search, and Google play services, restarted, reinstalled, and restarted again. So far this is what I have is it normal?

I'm not sure there. It looks like you just have some initial Audio wakelocks from maybe a music player or your start-up noise.
You should check Android System or Google Services for things related to NlpCollectorWakelock or NlpWakelock.

Updates on my own report. For some reason Google Keep has shot to the top trending at 4 minutes/hour of wakelock time. I have no idea why, I'm not actively using it, or its widget. I'm greenifying it now to get rid of the noise.
Well, in 1h50m of uptime (30m screentime), according to GSam, NlpCollectorWakelock has kept my phone awake for ~6m. It's the only thing under Google Services that's kept my phone awake longer than 30 seconds. Nlpwakelock is virtually nonexistent, 9.8s of awake time.
edit: when i click 'manage' on GSam on the "Google Services" that's causing wakelocks it takes me to Google Bookmark Sync in particular. Coincidence? I froze bookmark sync since it's something I don't use anyways, we'll see what happens...I don't see how it could possibly be the culprit but you never know.

Interesting. I hadn't gone that deep via GSam, I may do it now though just to see. Good call.
edit: Mine just takes me to Google Services, sad panda.
nlpcollectorwakelock is google services, not google play services for me...
I have the T-Mobile variant and wanted to confirm that OP's instructions fix the issue. My device started out with great battery life and one day suddenly took a dive thanks to this issue.
I used TiBu to uninstall Google play services and Google search (which turned out to be velvet.apk) and reinstalled both via play store.
Screen went back to bring number 1 battery drainer for me whereas before Google pay services was in the lead by a wide margin.
Thanks OP.
