As it currently stands, if I were to press the power button on my phone to turn on the screen, the screen turns off within 5~10 seconds if I don't unlock my phone. This is annoying if I'm checking notifications or something, because it just checks for an unlock, not user input. If I'm looking through my notifications and sliding on the screen, it'll still timeout. Is there any way to change this value?
The only option I know of is Settings > Display > Sleep, but that's once the screen's been unlocked and there's been no activity, I'm talking about the timeout directly on the lockscreen.
Ever thought about asking that in the ROM thread?

Is there a way to get the lock screen before the pattern screen?
for me, when i hit the wake button, it goes straight to the pattern screen. If i turn the pattern screen lock off, and i hit the wake button, it goes to the lock screen.
I just want it so that if i hit the wake button it would go lock screen then pass word pattern screen
Pretty sure you can only have one or the other.
That's weird. Mine always prompts the lock screen then my pattern screen. Thought this process was default.
Could try this. Go into settings>CM settings> lockscreen> unlock options
If skip on security is checked then uncheck it. That should prompt the lockscreen then pattern screen upon wake

Why do people assume that everyone is using CM. I am on Weapon and your answer means nothing.

One can only assume since cm is the majority. If you don't want assumptions then be specific on the details. General questions can arise numerous answers.
I just upgraded from the iPhone 4S to the Skyrocket so this is my first Android phone. One of the concerns I have is that I am noticing an inconsistency with the Screen Saver and the Lock Screen. I have no option to disable the screen saver but I do have the Lock Screen configured with a pin code. Sometimes, when I pick up the phone and press the power button, I have the pin code screen which is what I expect. Other times, when I pick up the phone and press the power button, I get the Screen Saver with the clock and I can simply flick it aside and I'm into the phone without a pin code.
The Screen Timeout is configured to "2 Minutes" and Screen Unlock Timeout is configured for "2 Minutes." Am I configuring the timeout(s) incorrectly? I don't want to ever have the Screen Saver come up, I just want the pin code Unlock screen to display.
Set it for 15 seconds. And yes you can change the "screen saver".
Haha, never mind! After reading the "Unlock Screen" timeout more carefully, it is the time after the screen goes blank! I thought it meant that in "2 Minutes" of inactivity, the lock screen would be active! Setting it to immediately and then configuring the Screen Timeout seems to have fixed it!
Good. And you can change the lockscreen wallpaper too fyi

I'm loving it already! So many options that I have control over! I just need to learn how to use them! Looks like my son's option to upgrade to the iPhone 4S is going to be used to get me the Samsung Note and I'll give him my 4S since I spent my upgrade option on this SkyRocket!!
Hello,
I've been using my new note 2 for two weeks now.. and I like it so much
I also used sgs2 and 3 before.
I'm not new to android.. I flashed roms, know every single setting in the device, rooted my sgs2 and tried lots of apps to customize them.
Regarding my issue, I like to set my device to none screen security because I always manually lock it with a press on the lock screen button after I do whatever I want to do with it, and to unlock I always press Home button to get back to where I was immediately without the need to swipe the lock screen.
The problem is when I lock it and there is an app running and then press the home button the screen goes to home default screen and do not just unlock the screen and keep it there where I was last, this was not the case with my sgs2 or sgs3.
If I press the lock screen button instead it does what I want but I prefer to use home button because its much easier.
Its not a big issue but its annoying sometimes because sometimes I get popup notification windows while the phone is locked (whatsapp for example) and I press the home button to see it and instead of just turning on the screen to see the window it goes back to home screen and the popup is gone, or in cases where I'am writing an email or reading something and meanwhile talking to somebody, if the screen gets locked, If I press the home button everything is gone. So I have to switch tasks to open my activity again.
I don't know if this is a jellybean issue or hardware (homebutton).
I know its not a big deal but I would appreciate if somebody can help get around this

I need an app like the "Go to sleep" future available in CM roms in the power widget. I KNOW there are a bunch on the market, but they have a flaw: after i lock the screen with it and power the screen on by button, my wallpaper dissapears for 3-4 seconds then it comes back. Also i need a simple app that does only that (shortcut or widget, dosent really matter) and not having extra options, so the ram usage would be minimal.
The "go to sleep" future works well (no wallpaper problem, no ram usage), but i dont know how to create a shortcut on the screen for it, also is annoying to pull the notification bar all the time to push it.
Screen off and lock works perfectly for me. If you want no ram usage, go with the donated version.

I agree ^^^^^ ++1!
e-Sex.. All of the carpral none of the tunnel
i'm using Lock Screen App by Kenneth Cheng, but this isn't really good either - if u lock the screen u can't unlock it right after ....u have to wait 2-3 sec. I have tryed the Screen off and lock but it got stuck in the ram and that annoyed me. Anw, ty for the answers.
Well, I tried "Screen Off and Lock" by Katecca, "Lock Screen App" by Kenneth Cheng, "Turn Off Screen" by Marinelli.Tv. The best of them is "Turn Off Screen", although sometimes the lockscreen appear before the screen is completely off, there's no false sleep like "Screen Off and Lock" (this app always give me false sleeps). Currently, I'm using Elixir2, it has widget to turn off the screen, and the screen doesn't flicker, lockscreen doesn't re-appear, there're false sleeps, but very rare.
False sleep: the screen is turned off, but when you turn it on, the lockscreen appears for ~1 seconds and it turns off. Several pushs on power button is needed to make the lockscreen stays there to be unlocked.
yes, "Turn Off Screen" by Marinelli seems to do the job almost like the power-off button, ty !
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?
