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.

Whenever there is a reminder, and the device is suspended,
the screen turns on for about 15 seconds.
I would like to know if there is a way I can make this time longer (lets say, 30 seconds).
I tried the HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Power/Timeouts/*ResumingSuspend
registry, but still - it remained 15 seconds.
Any Ideas ?
I'd like to know if there is a way to decrease the delay time (in my case 15 seconds) from "autolock on" to device low power (when screen is black but always on) cos I want to save battery.
So the screen locks down after 15 seconds but I want it to set (f.e.) to 5 seconds or less_
Is it possible?
Bye
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?

you might have Stay Awake option enabled under developer settings
Hi,
This morning my S4 started to continually activate the screen for about 5 seconds then deactivate it for 1 second and repeat the cycle continuously. This happens even when I press the power button to shut down the screen or leaving the phone idle and when charging/not charging.
I have switched off all the smart screens, motions and gestures and I have done a hard\factory reset with no change!
Would you have any ideas what's gone wrong or is it likely to be a hardware issue.
Thanks
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.
