I'm using a pin lockscreen. I cannot get the display sleep time to stay at anything other than 15 seconds. I can change the time to anything else but once I leave setup it's back to 15. Any ideas
Did you set both the Automatically Lock time under Security & Screen Lock and the Sleep time under Display?

Yes, Lock screen after 30 seconds, Sleep after 30 second of inactivity.

Is their a way to lengthen the time before the phone goes to sleep during a call or when at the lock screen? It seems to take about 5 secs after i answer a call or go to the lock screen before they shut down. Its really annoying for me. THANKS!
[UPDATED]
Fixed in 4.2.2 update
THIS ONLY SEEMS TO DO IT IN LANDSCAPE MODE!?!?! WTF!?!?!?
This may seem minor to most of you but I use this to time my daughters physio exercises.
Can someone please try this out? Set screen/display timeout to 1 minute. Go to standard clock app. Swipe sideways to countdown timer. Set timer to 00:05:00. Start timer. Leave the phone for around 2 1/2 minutes (so display times out and phone locks). Unlock phone.
How many of you now have 12 hours left to go!?!?
Or is it just my phone randomly adding 12 hours to the countdown when the screen is off? :silly:
Mine did not, but I'm not sure if we have our locks set to the same action. I set my phone to require a pin after 15 minutes of the screen being off, how do you have yours set so I can mimic your settings?
No screen lock, sleep 1 minute.

I can't manage to reproduce the bug on my end, but then again, I'm on a Sprint model.
I have my lock screen set up as a pattern, and sometimes it'll just bi pass the entire lock screen and turn my phone on right to my home screen. Has anyone had this and have a fix?

In settings -> security
There is an option called automatically lock, set it to "immediately" and it will lock at instantly when the screen goes off. If it is set to anything else, it is possible to use the phone without the pattern until that time is reached.

There is a setting in security where u can chose power button instantly locks. Look for the option power button, not automatically lock.
I do have knowledge with android, im not a total air head! If I don't have a pin or pattern set up, and just slide, then it doesn't bi pass it.
This has always been confusing and I am looking for clarification on the Lock Screen/ Screen dimming, etc.
So I went into the display settings and set it not to turn off for 1 minute. Then I checked the power saving settings just to be sure the screen would not go dim or lock after 5 seconds. That did not work. Then I checked the security settings to see if something was over ridding every other time out setting and I am lost. Either these settings have never really worked since the original note and android/ google is lazy or I am not doing something right.
Dose anyone have a step by step walk through of all the settings that would affect when the screen dimms and when it locks? (Sometimes I am running music through blue tooth and I don't want to the screen to dim for specific applications also. There has to be a setting somewhere because Google Maps does not allow the screen to dim or lock when in nav mode.

I really wish someone would have answered your question. Mainly since I have the same freaking problem.
When the phone app is running, I am constantly getting dimmed, seconds only to do something.
Tonight I was using an app that monitors BBQ temperatures. Always dims to fast. Set the screen timeout for 10 minutes. Still dimmed after 30 seconds or so.
How does this work? I'm not sure the screen timeout setting does anything.
The screen diming feature is part of the auto brightness function and works by using the ambiant light sensor to adjust the brightness of the display. According to the amount of light detected in front of the display.
Screen locking happens when you haven't used your device for a specific amount of time.

It dims before it locks. That's what I was referring to. I think the OP was as well.
I set the display for 10 minute timeout. It dims and locks the screen in less than a minute. I can't figure out how to stop it.
Is that a clearer question?
Well my screen dims for some seconds before going out, but, always as per the time I set , for instance, if I set to go out after 5 mins of inactivity, it dims after 4 mins 55 seconds, then goes out, I dont use autobrightness, and I use entertainment mode
It was secure lock time setting.
It was disregarding the screen timeout.
I have an odd issue where when I get a notification or wake my phone to the lock screen but not unlock it, the lock screen will never timeout. The lock screen just stays on until I manually sleep the screen again. This happens 9/10 times. If I wake the phone upright, the screen will go back to sleep in the normal 10 seconds. Also if I wake the phone while it's flat on a table, then lift the phone, it will dim, then go to sleep as usual. I tried a factory reset without restoring from a backup and it's still going on. Anyone have ideas? It's killing my battery and it hardly makes it through a day.
