I changed the setting of screen auto off from 2 minutes to 10 minutes and now the screen never turns off. I tried setting it to 30 seconds and after about 15 minutes it did not turn off. Is everyone having this same issue ?
Hi guys,
So I set my display timeout to 30 seconds. After 20 seconds the screen dims to an insanely low brightness, like 10%. Then in another 10 seconds it locks (which it is supposed to) Is there a way to make the screen not dim and just immediately lock after 30 seconds? Another thing is after the screen locks after thirty seconds, if I wake the device within 5 seconds I don't have to re-enter my password, despite the fact that I set my phone to lock immediately when it falls asleep.

If I use wrist gestures to turn the screen on, it only stays on for about 6 seconds. It will only stay on for the selected duration if I interact with the watch or turn the watch on by pressing the back button. Is this by design? I've already reset the watch multiple times.
This can be adjusted in settings. Display screen timeout.
Whatever settings I use, if the screen is turned on by gesture and not interacted with, it only stays on for about 6 seconds. Watch only obeys the setting if I touch the screen after it turns on or I hit the back button.
Can anyone confirm if this is normal behavior?

Yep, is normal. If you raise your wrist to see the time, there is no reason to keep the screen alive for 15 or 30 seconds.
if you turn the bezel one click left and one click right it will remain on for the 15 seconds, 30 seconds, minute or what you have it set to, in failing that there is a widget you can download called flaunt and it gives you the option to have the watch face on for up to 30 mins
I know this is probably way too late but my Gear S3 Classic has the same issue. no matter what time frame you choose for the timeout it only goes for 7 seconds. I've reset to factory twice. i've used factory watchfaces and 3rd party watchfaces but same issue. i'm not sure that the replies above know what they are saying since there are 4 screen timeout settings (15 secs, 30, 1 min & 5 min). If these are options then why don't they work?

The timing for the "wake up" gesture is at a fixed duration of 6 seconds - just long enough for you to see the time. It is independent of the standard display timeout settings for 15 / 30 / 60 seconds.
This is normal behaviour. There is no way to change the timeout for the "wake up" gesture.
It does what's supposed to do...

Hi,
Yes, the watch will only start timing down (or stay lit) the pre-defined number of seconds if you either: rotate the bezel right/left or
left/right on one click as someone already explained, or you either press the top OR lower buttons once. With no 'mechanical' intervention, the default 6-7 seconds ON will prevail. If you think about it, it's a smart design. Turning your wrist get time to see the watch screen; any other actions will leave it on for your desired limit.
Best.
I agree in part. You don't really want the watch to stay on for the timeout period when woken by gesture. However, it should be possible to set a duration for the watch to stay on for a different period on gesture wake up. Perhaps 1 to 10 seconds?
My watch only stays in for 4 seconds, way too short!

Turn off wakeup gesture in settings. U'll have to wake it up using the buttons tho. Fine for me. Doesn't work half of the time anyway.
I have set the screen timeout to 2 minutes and the display is turning of in 30 seconds no matter which time i select. Is this a known bug? It's actually only 15 seconds before the screen shuts off. I just picked the phone up today, I'm going to exchange it
On my Samsung A02s I usually have my screen timeout on 30 minutes. Now and then, automatically reverts to 20 sec. So then when I am on a screen it starts to dim. It is most annoying and I do not have any way to stop that. Does anyone have a solution?
