[Q] Screen Auto-shutoff timing?

I'm sure this is in a basic FAQ or something... but I ask anyway.
Is there some way to get the screen to NOT go black after what seems like 3 seconds? I want the screen to remain lit basically until I tell it to go off with a power button push.

Settings / Sound and display / Screen timeout (3rd from the bottom)

Embarrassing. Thanks.

Is there a way to increase the timeout while the phone is dialing and connecting? The phone goes black before the 4th ring and you have to hit the power button if you want to end the call.

how about on the lockscreen??

Actually I would like to know about this as well, the lockscreen goes blank really fast too.

Actually, if u have Widgetlocker you can set the timeout for your lockscreen. Mines set to turn off after 1 minute.

My issue is that regardless of what interval I set my screen timeout to, it somehow always defaults back to 30 seconds. I'm not sure if it happens after the lockscreen comes up or what, but the setting never seems to actually stick. I'm using Widget Locker (set to 1 minute), and have that set to override the system setting (set to 1 minute as well), and nothing seems to work.
Any ideas on how I can get my settings to stick? Has anyone even heard of such a thing happening?

no? i disabled the lock screen so the back light stays on for the full 30 seconds :[

Bump, cuz I was going to ask the same question.
I was thinking of having tasker do this. But if theres some instructions somewheres I'd rather not have to fiddle w/ tasker. Brains not up for it, yet.

I'd like to know the answer to this as well. My screen lights up whenever I get an email via the stock email app. Kind of annoying since I get cron job report work emails @ all hours of the night.
Oh, & I have searched... "stock email screen light" returns ~1K hits. I sifted through 7 pages of results before deciding to add to this thread.

[REQ] Way to configure screen timeout on notifications

Has anyone else noticed that the screen stays on for like less than a second when a new SMS arrives? I can almost never get my hand over to the phone to unlock it before the screen turns back off. It would be most Excellent if there were a way to increase this timeout.

This would be great.

heard that +1

I agree, would make a good mod

Download (missed message notifications) from market, that will help until someone do something to resolve this!

I just wish the screen wouldn't turn on at all when you get a text message.

Hi ALL,
I know this is Galaxy S I9003 Android Development but since we do not have saperate Section I am posting here.
I have Two issues
1. I have selected "None" for Screen lock in Settings-> Location and Security. still i see this ( <<<<<xxxxxx>>>>> ) type of screen lock some time after time out. I want to remove this. My phone is rooted and on XXKB33.
2. I usally set Screen Time out at 15 Seconds. It automatically goes to 1 Minute.. What can be the issue.? I use LockMenu Where i have set time out as 15 secs.
can anyone pls help me resolving these?

For the first issue the only way to change the lockscreen to default android lockscreen is to modify system files... look at my other post with vanilla lockscreen.....

Here you can not deactivate the screen lock. You can only change security settings like password, PIN or pattern lock. If you select none, you will not be asked to input any of those after sliding the screen to open it. But lock screen will still be there.

The responsability of screen lock is android.policy.jar and framework-res.apk... maybe try to restore again that files... one question... have you tried app from market that enable lock screen like: screen off and lock? (I'm not sure about the correct name). Another question.... but the lock-unlock button works?

{Q} How to completely disable Lock Screen?

Is there a way to completely disable the slide to lock screen everytime the screen times out?
It tends to get annoying time to time and also since I use a Folio case, I would like to just open the cover, press the power and it be ready to use.

No and this will not been changed.
I installed another options which lock and screen off with the sensor but still the screen lock pop-up.

look into the market for app called ( Keyguard Disable )

No lock from the market is the best, or if you flash cm7 there's an option to disable it.
swyped from a galaxy far far away

I am using Antilock-simple and serves the purpose....

like natious, no lock works great for me.

I believe some of the other apps stop the tab from sleeping

Lockscreen
Hey guy's I've found that nolock does work, but it also shut off the availability of any other Play Store alternatives. I found that freezing or deleting the sprint OMADM.apk will disable stock and also alow any after market lockscreens such as holo's to work, only thing is the pin or password, or face unlock.
