screen brightness (timer)

I have my brightness timer set to automatic. When I get ready to use my phone outside on a sunny day it takes like 2 or 3 secs for the screen to brighten up so I can see it. I would like to keep my phone on automatic brightness, but I was wondering if there was a timer somewhere in the system that could be changed using root explorer? Any help would really be appreciated.

Screen timeing out with stay awake selected

I have the screen time out (settings->display->Screen Timeout) set at 15 seconds and the stay awake (settings -> appications -> development -> stay awake) checked but it will not stay on.
Anyone else have this issue after update to 5.3.6?

Sets the screen timeout.... AKA SCREEN TIMEOUT ,if you want it to never timeout, set it to never... 15 sec = 15 sec timeout, 30 sec =30 sec timeout and so on...

STAY AWAKE
Screen will never sleep WHILE CHARGING
this will be the only time the screen never sleeps

I am aware of the WHILE CHARGING part of it.
I plug it in and it will not stay awake....
I am seeing if anyone else has this issue to see if something went bad in flashing from stock to supercharged to stock to update to stock to update or if they messed something up in the update.
I plug it into my charger to keep it awake while I have it mounted in my car for Google music and it would stay awake with the screen time out option selected and even shut the screen off when I would turn the car off before I updated to 5.3.6
So if someone can give a simple it is working on my phone or a hey you ****ed something up that would be great.....

It's working for me. When I am charging it stays awake.
Not sure what "5.3.6" is but I am on the new 2.3.6

It is 2.3.6 but I just had someone else in the office check it and they have the same issue after the update...

[Q] Can't get screen to stay on

I use my tablet as an alarm clock and it has always worked perfectly. After the last system update, though, I find that I can't get the sreen to stay on. I have the screen timeout set to 5 minutes, and I cannot override that. I went in to developer settings and set it so the screen stays on when it is plugged in, but that does not work. I tried using the system clock app and using night mode but that also shuts off after 5 minutes, even when plugged in. I tried turning on the screen saver to the clcok setting when it is plugged in but that still does not keep the screen on past 5 minutes.
Anyone have any other ideas for something I could try?

There are a bunch of apps and widgets that make it easy to switch between "normal screen off with delay" or "screen always on". Have you tried one of these ? Since your setting is blocked as you say, I'm not sure if the apps can override it, but you can try.
for instance No screen off (widget)
or Keep screen on (a background app that checks the device's inclination)

I use app Backlight Switch. It has options to show in notifications and has a widget. You can also create an app list that auto-toggles it.

Set timeout to something reasonable (30 seconds or less) and enable Smart Stay.

Does your V10 keep the Display timeout setting after a reboot?

Hi, I am currently on bit of a witchhunt with my V10 (H960A, running V30C-EUR-XX). For some reason the standby drain on this phone, which I bought used 2 years ago, is extremely high - about 60% in 12h. At the same time the on screen time is quite good with high brightness while watching videos I get around 6h SoT. Really bizzare.
One thing I noticed which is really strange is that when I change the display timeout in the settings to for example to "15 minutes" and I reboot the phone it always resets to the default setting which is "2 minutes".
So I would be really be thankful if someone could try this on their V10 and post the results.
Also I tried every trick in the book with this battery issue, from resetting the phone multiple times to running it in safe mode or flashing the Software with LG UP. Nothing yielded results. My theory is that something with the settings is messed up and keeps the phone in a "running" state while the screen is off.
