Lockscreen notification, way to change how long the screen stays on? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I don't use AOD
When I receive a text, the screen lights up for about 1.5-2 seconds and then turns off, not enough time to read it or try and click it unless I'm not distracted, anyway to increase that time to 5 seconds?

Found an app that seems to do the trick for me

Screen timeout for messages

Today I was texting and when I got a text I would grab the phone and try to type but as soon as I got to the phone the screen turned off. seemed like the timing is like a few seconds too short. Is there a way to change this setting? It's not the normal screen timeout. Thanks in advance.
on a side note... has anyone found a way to turn off the battery notifications for low power and fully charged.

Slow to wake up

Have I got a dodgy phone or is this normal?
Pressing the power button to wake the phone up, it takes 1 - 1.5 secs to put the screen on.
Also, when finishing a call and taking it away from my face, it takes 2 secs to put the screen back on so I can finish the call! The other party usually ends the call before me.
Would some of you post your experiences so I know I am(/not) alone?!
(For reference, my Desire switches screen on after <0.5 secs.)
try doing a reset/format.
Mine is pretty slow to wake up as well, maybe 1.5 seconds. I haven't made any calls on it yet though.
Confirmed, take 1-2 s to wake up
Wake up is instant for me. But it does take a second or so after a call. I think that's so it doesn't cut you off by accident.

Mine wakes up instantly...
Wake up is instant for me aswell.
Thanks all.
Interestingly, as I wrote that post I was upgrading through Kies to the KDD(?) firmware (from KDA or something), and since then it seems to be a lot quicker to wake normally.
Maybe it's as simple as the f/w.
On mine when auto brightness is on I get a slight delay, no delay when manually set.

Iv hada bit of a delay, tried turning auto-brightness off, and it's fixed it.
So, a small delay for auto-brightness, just like you
I had this so turned off auto brightness and it sorted it but now I've rebooted and the delay is back again.

I am having the same problem, takes more than a second to wake up, already KDD firmware and turned off auto brightness, still
Well I always thought having a delayed wake up time is better than instantly. Like when the screen is off, it is in standby mode and when you wake it up, it will take about a second or two to wake up. Just like how a computer works. If your screen wakes up instantly, it would mean it is not in standby mode properly.
However for a phone, I would say a second or two is too long. Should be half of a second max.
(Speculation)
Might be widget related - the SGS2 seems to be loading up homescreen widgets before the lockscreen is shown, unlike other (well.. 1) devices that load the widgets only after you unlock the device.
Uhmm.. it's a long shot, but people who have the wake up delay - try removing all your widgets for a bit and testing to see if the delay vanishes.
Other long shot is that the log shows the brightness sensor is checked on wake up regardless of auto brightness set to on or off (at least, there is a log message mentioning it), so it might still be brightness sensor related.
what i wrote made no sense, discard
I removed the Auto Brightness config and it seems to wake instantly...not tested it that thoroughly though.

You bought an SGSII?
I have the same problem and I am using the pattern lock. Maybe it's that?
I find when the phone is plugged into mains it starts instantly, not sure why though

Off topic: Yes, playing around to get going with rom cooking. Looking good so far.
instant for me. Pressing either Home or power button.

Screen Dimming, but not Sleeping

Has anyone else had this problem?
My phone is currently set to Display sleep after 30 seconds. What has been happening is the display will dim after 30 seconds, but won't turn off. Sometimes it will turn off after another 30 seconds. Sometimes it will just sit and stay in the dim state without shutting off.
Is there anything I can try short of a full reset?

Always On Display Bug?

When I block my phone, the always on shows instantly and never goes off. It shouldn't turn off after some seconds? I waited for 10 minutes (twice) and the screen doesn't turn off

I take the opportunity to ask about the subject.
I do not want to have AOD turned ON always, but want every time a notification arrives, the display turn on and shows the notification. What should i activate?
Thanks!

Screen goes off after 10 seconds of inactivity

I have set the display timeout to 1 minute of inactivity, and 30 seconds to lock after sleep, however my phone turns off the display after 10 seconds or so, but definitely less than desirable 1 minute. The "lock" appears to work fine (locks after 30 secs after the screen is off, just as set up). I'd really like to extend the time of inactivity, since 10 secs is not enough. Please advise.

Try changing to 5 minutes instead of 1 minute.

Thanks. I have tried several intervals up to 30 mins, including 5 minutes. No luck. The screen goes dim in about 7+/- seconds then turns off a couple seconds later. I have to constantly touch it to keep it on which is annoying. The power button brings it back on without authorisation if pressed in under 30 secs (lock after sleep).
Exactly the same behaviour when plugged in and charging.
Some people here complain about their phones not going to sleep unless power button is pressed. I am experiencing exactly the opposite problem. My phone goes to sleep sooner than it should.

Try rebooting your phone. If the problem still exists, then i assume that a factory data reset will solve it. Not sure though.
