I've rooted my phone, any chance on getting a timeout for the lockscreen? I'd like to only have to put my password in every 15 minutes or so. If this is possible without an app that'd be great! My old iPhone 3g had this feature =/.
Bumping my own thread 'cause I found a solution.
I got the Unlock With WiFi app which has the option to set the lockscreen timeout (in seconds. Set mine to 15 mins = 900 secs) in the settings.
Hope this is useful to other SGS4G users!

Is there a way to increase the time before the numeric screen-lock activates?
Often, I am working on something, or am using a calculator, and if the screen times out, the numeric screen lock appears when I turn the phone back on, even if it's only a minute or so.
It'd be great if I can set it to activate after, say, 20 minutes of inactivity, like the iPhone does.
You can Chang the time out for the screen to go black from display settings , but if you are talking about the time before you need to unlock your phone again I don't think this option supported yet ,I'm not sure . But there is some apps that you can try that prevent the screen from locking such as mylock.
Give it try.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
Tasker or Locale plus Locale Password Locker from the market. An expensive solution but capable of doing exactly what you want.
If you're running cm7 you can change the timeout options for the lockscreen.
Dear all,
is there any way/tweak how to extend lock screen time-out for instance to 60 minutes?
Thanks in advance
you go into the settings, lock and wallpaper!
The highest value I have there is 5 minutes which isn't enough for me. Do you have higher value there?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have 30s, 1m, 3m, 5m and "never".
If you don't have the option "never" you have to unlock your phone (using chevron or developer unlock) and make a change in the registry of the phone.
It's very ridiculous that not every wp7 have the option "never" to choose.
There is no "never" option just in case you set a password for the lockscreen.
if you remove the password, the never option will be available again
It´s really ridiculous that I cant set higher value then 5 mins if password is set..
I have no password and still only have 5 min. I wish Diagnostic Tool in the phone could be used to fix this.
for Samsung devices u don't Have This setting because the technology of the screen (S.amoled) don't like to stay long time with screen on else if u Can damaged the screen...
Just look This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013181
I've done about 30 min of research into this and haven't found any app doing this. Just a round about way using Tasker or with no delay with alarm clock plus.
I've never made an app before so I have no idea how technically difficult this could/would be...
If phone is unplugged & inactive for time = x, then screen off as per normal.
If phone is plugged in & inactive for time = x, then launch live-wallpaper/photo/app.
Maybe working unlocking into screensaver exit if possible?
I don't have a scooby if this is do-able, easy or impossible?
i just got my note3 the other day. i changed the screen timeout from the default 30 seconds to 5 minutes. then whenever i power off and on the phone, the screen timeout is back to default 30 seconds.
i am running stock android 4.3 and model N9005.
anyone has the same issue?
** updates
i was searching this issue online when someone mentioned the 'profile scheduler' app has the screen timeout setting for 30 seconds. that seems to be the issue for me.
Have my Screen Timeout set to Keep Screen On on my LG G3 running 4.4.2 and something keeps resetting it back to 30 seconds. I've posted on the LG forums with no response. I've tried running Log Cat but I'm apparently too dumb to figure out how to find out what's causing the setting to change. Any thoughts?
Bump... anyone?
I think you can set the timeout on display setting, set time as you want it.
Thanks yeah... I know. I have it set to not turn off. But it still reverts to 30 seconds periodically.
I have set 2 minute timeout on my phone, and its work fine, but it will be reverts to 30 seconds if the battery is low (on state < 15%) . I'm not quite sure but i think your phone timeout setting periodically reverts is because your phone is in low battery state
My battery has never been below 50% so that's not it.
Thanks though!
