Screentimeout Mode - General Questions and Answers

While roaming through my phones settings I discovered the following setting and cant seem to find out exactly what each number refers to.
Settings\System\Notification Drawer\Widget Buttons\Screentimeout Modes
It shows the following:
15s/1m/5m
30s/2m/5m
These appear to be screen time out settings but does anyone know what each number is referencing?

I think its obvious
15 seconds / 1 minute / 5 minutes
30 seconds/ 2 minutes / 5 minutes
It'll work this way.
If u select the first option and then touch the screentimeout button thrice, it will toggle between 15s / 1m and 5 m
The second option will toggle between 30s, 2 m and 5 m

What is the difference between the ScreenTimeOut setting vs.Display\Sleep?
And I am not sure where I would find the ScreenTimeOut button.

I don't know.the difference exactly. I think it's the same
Pull down ur status bar. Do u see buttons at the top? one of them is the screen timeout button

OK, that's why I could not see it it was not ticked in the settings to show on the bar. Weird and possibly redundant feature though.

It's not weird...screen timeout means when your phone will switch off the screen...sleep means your phone will switch off the screen+go into standby mode...sleep mode saves battery but take longer time to reload your previous activity...

OK, I (without reading of course) thought the Display setting turned the screen off not hibernated the phone.
I have posted this in another thread recently but are you aware of any tweak or setting that will prevent the screen from blanking when using the dialer? It will not blank if I call voicemail (I guess it knows more keys will be entered) however, other calls immediately blank even though I have more keys to press. I have tried for some time to locate a setting or fix to no avail.

Disabling backlight on notification

Hello,
Yes, I searched everywhere but didn't find any answer.
Is it possible to disable the backlight when notifications comes ? For example, when a SMS or an e-mail arrives, the screen powers up and my pocket presses the screen and do bad things on the screen. This would be a cleaner idea than locking the screen!
I know that phoneAlarm have an option for this but I'm using PhoneWeaver for this profiling job (which is smaller than it). I think it must be a reg key somewhere for this :/
Thanks in advance for your precious help!
To be honest, I do not understand you question but I think you are searching for the sound and alert settings?
Go to start > settings > sound and alerts (and then the 2nd tab)
If this is not what you are looking for, could you be more specific?
he want it to when it turns on because of an alarm or sms or the likes that it
dont have backlight on the lcd
personaly i doubt it's possible i believe that when notifications turn the device on it's 100% the same thing that is sendt to the os as when one press the on button if that is the case that the os cant tell the diff
i doubt it could have different backlight settings depending one
what turns it on
holding the button down for a bit turn off the backlight on many devices
untill the button is pressed for a bit again
also when it's turned off so when the notification turns it on the backlight will be off
but ofcause so will it when power button turns it on
I would like my device (TyTN/Hermes) under windows mobile 6 not to "turn on" when a message arrives because my phone case press on the screen while on my pocket and some strange things arrives (delete messages, surf on the Internet, ...) as random parts and buttons are pressed...
I was hoping this simple thing could have been done easily
slide2unlock
I was wanting the same thing also since I carry my phone in my pocket(htc mogul). As I would reach into my pocket to pull out the phone I would end up pressing button to where programs would open and what not. I tried slide2unlock and I think that has solved my problem pretty good. The only time the phone get unlocked is with an incoming call. Other than that the screen just turns on with an incoming text. Good thing about this program is that if you turn on your screen, the buttons won't do anything without sliding the slider to unlock.
if a password is set it dont go to the today screen and random screen pokes will not result in wild pr0n surfing
or getting a case with s screen in front like the silicon ones or the
full plastic ones will safe the screen from clicks and damage too
I am also looking for a solution. I am currently using slide2unlock, but I would prefer the behavior mentioned above. Specifically, I would like the phone to stay in standby mode (screen off, not responding to button presses or screen taps) when an incoming SMS arrives or phone acquires or loses signal. Currently these behaviors will turn on the phone by itself.
I recently updated to Shamanix 1.3 (aka Schap's 4.01 customized) which has this behaviour
The phone don't turn on when an e-mail/sms/mms arrives (only when a phone call arrives)
Anyone has found the solution for this?
Thanks!
GM.

Screen Recorder Not Showing Prompt

Hello. I'm new here and I really need your help. Recently bought Huawei Mate 9 and I cannot use the screen recording feature. Whenever I click the icon on the status bar, my phone only goes back to the home page and is not showing the prompt to start recording the screen. I also tried the knuckle screen record and the Volume Up + Power button and same thing happens. My screen only goes back to home and does not show any prompt to start screen recording.

Have you turned off window animations in developer mode? Put them back on. At least to .5x
Where can I find that setting sir/maam. Still having this problem. Thanks so much for reply.
You have to enable the Developer options.
Settings > About phone > Build number
Once you’ve found the Build number section of the settings, tap on the section 7 times. After two taps, a small pop up notification should appear saying "you are now X steps away from being a developer" with a number that counts down with every additional tap.
The thing is if you don't know where developer mode is, it means you did not turn off animations in developer mode in the first place ?

Hi - I had this issue as well with my Mate 10 Pro and I found out a way to fix mine: Go to Settings > in the search bar type "Dropzone apps" > Dropzone apps
This sets the permission for individual apps to display over other apps. In "Dropzone apps", find "Screen Recording" and turn on the permission. This fixed my problem. Hope this helps you too!

What is this icon please?

To the left of the battery icon, just above the date. It has me stumped.
No SIM inserted.
Ah thankyou. I had searched high and low before posting here.
As long as we're on this topic, I never understood what the leftmost icon in this notification area is.
It looks like a watch and it's related to display, but the circle in the middle is sometimes white and sometimes black or transparent,
but what do these 2 states mean ? Did someone figure it out ?
It is "Theater mode" when brightness is set to "Auto". Press to put the watch in theater mode.
To expand on the previous post, it means that your tilt to wake etc is disabled so your screen is permanently off. The only way to cancel it is to press one of the hard buttons.
Icon is not SIM PIN code not inserted too.

'Find My Device', GPS and 'wake up' - need to press power button after a few hours of inactivity

I've recently started experimenting with 'Find My Device' - it seems to work well, my only issue is that after the smartphone has been left in 'standby' mode for some hours then it can't be found using Find My Device in windows, I need to briefly press the power button to wake it up. However, if I leave the phone for two or three hours a day and it goes to sleep for a while then no problem, Find My Device still works.
Is there some kind of timeout which prevents the GPS and networking from working after a set period of time ? I've checked the settings but not found anything.
The Smartphone is a Motorola G5S
Disable "find my device" and "gps" apps battery optimization also on wifi setting disable "turn off wifi auto after inactivity" also on apps killer add both app on white list so even if you close all running app they remain on background .. i use that setting to mine bitcoin on my phone

Screen timeout problem S10e

I have an S10e. Screen timeout is set to 10 minutes. But it keeps blanking after about 30 seconds while I'm listening to instructions & I'm displaying the keypad in a "press 1 to..., press 2 to..." menu system. I have to touch pretty much anywhere that isn't a number to keep the screen active & be able to press the appropriate number when the menu system finally tells me which selection I want to make. It's a PITA! Why does it blank LONG before the screen timeout setting? Is there some setting somewhere else that I haven't been able to find?
