[Q] screen wont timeout

I have a rooted thunderbolt (thanks for all who made that possible). in the last couple of days I have noticed that the screen does not timeout. I don't know if it is a rouge app, or some other problem. I have done some searching and it appears that I am not the only one with this problem, but I have not seen a solution to the problem yet.
After a reboot it does appear to work correctly for a time though. If it is an app how would I find out which one is doing it? As a side question. If I do a hard reboot will I lose root?

Go to Spare Parts > Battery History and select "Partial Wake Usage" from the first dropdown. Should tell you what the culprit is.

i've noticed the same thing intermittently over the last few days, let me know if you figure out how to fix it

Yeah, I get this too.
Do you guys run Titanium? My screen wouldn't turn off this morning, and now that I'm paying more attention, I noticed Titanium ran an auto-backup last night on the charger. That might just be a coincidence, but something to look out for.

Well the spare parts thing did not work...
Any other ideas?

The only time I had this happen was when I bumped the volume buttons as I was setting the phone down. Somehow the volume indicator on the screen got stuck or something and the screen never shut off. I just started being more careful not to bump the volume, or actually pressing the power button to shut the screen off. Idk if this is your issue or not, just thought I'd throw it out there.

Change the setting to disable "partial wake locks" (in TB) and it will go back to sleep.

pandora radio also has a toggle to keep the screen on while its in use.
maybe you guys are using pandora?

I will try that (TB wake locks disabled) and see if it helps.

[Q] [ROM] Increase Screen Lock time (not display off time)

I'm looking for a way to increase the automatic screen lock time for the Tab 2 (sch-i705). Does anyone know where I can find this setting in the system.img?
I'm happy with the display turning off automatically after a minute or so, but I want the device to lock after ~15 minutes after the display turns off.
Couldn't find anyone adjusting this setting on any ROM in my searches.

Hi, thanks for the advice. I'm not looking to change the display timeout settings - I would like to keep that short. I'm hoping to increase the lockscreen time. For example, I want the screen to go off after 1 minute, but the device to lock 15 minutes after the display goes off.
I'm assuming since this isn't a standard system setting, it might be adjustable in the ROM/system.img. Anyone know where I could find something like this?

I'm wondering if there are any apps that could simulate what I'm trying to achieve. An app that keeps the tab unlocked, but allows the screen to turn off, would be perfect (as long as it also wasn't somehow sucking up resources or something).
Anyone have any other ideas? Or, better yet, know where I can modify this setting in the ROM?
Maybe moving this thread to the general QA would be a better idea, since this setting probably is particular to Android, not to the Galaxy Tab 2.. Any mods want to do that? Thanks

No need apps. Just go to setting > security > screen lock, select NONE.
Control how long display will turn off in setting > display.
Also, your question above, increase the lockscreen time, is in the same place, screen lock setting. search automatically lock.
Hope it helps

The issue here is that I would still like the device to be locked. I just want it to take longer to lock - ie 15 minutes to lock, but only 1 minute for the screen to turn off. Anyone know if there is a way to modify this at the ROM level?

Yes buddy, if i don't correctly understand what are you saying, there is an option for that in the settings. Just explore the settings once again, i have a different devices, maybe it's in different places.
and yes, if you want "automatically screen lock" setting comes up, you must in pattern/password/pin lock setting, not in slide or none.

The only option I have is to set 'screen timeout' . In order to conserve battery, I'd like the display to shut off after a minute or so.
Unfortunately, the amount of time it takes for the screen to lock, is tied to the display shut off - i.e. if the display shut off is set to a minute, the device will lock about 30 seconds after that, with no way to modify that time.

[Q] Wifi only get's notices after turning on the Screen for about 3 second

Hello Z3 owners,
I know this is probably only 1 setting but I can't find it.
What I ment was that when I'm connected to a WiFi I'll only get messages from Whatsapp for example when I'm turning
on the screen for about 3 seconds.
Is this an energyoption ? Didn't found anything till yet.
Sorry for my bad english
Thanks in advance

Have you got stamina mode on? That mode stops the data communication while the screen is off.

Your English is better than my Spielergesprechan.
Go to the battery manager, then scroll down until you see Whatsapp (for example), and ensure you don't have `restrict background data` set for it.

In WiFi advanced settings there is an option to set if you want WiFi always on, or always on if connected to charger or off with screen off. I'm guessing its set to turn off with screen off.

Guess this was my mistake, it was set to "None ( Higher Datavolume )"

Nevermind, even with this Setting it doesn't work..
I could record my screen ( for example if I get a mail or sth ) and show it to you if needed
The messages only arrive if I unlock it.
I'm an IT-Specialist so I think I'm not that dumb :|
I really don't get what's the problem :s
Anyone else experiencing this ?

Did you try a full data reset? Maybe something got corrupted.

Got the solution. I had some other energysettings on.
For example: I had WLAN-Energyoptions turned on while my Stamina-Mode was off.
Or my stamina Mode was on and my WLAn-Energyoptinos were off.
Ridiculous..
My problem is solved now! Thanks for all your help.

Turn ON second screen only when notification

Hi guys
I have a question:
Anyone's knows if it could be possible (with or without root) to switch on second screen only if there are notifications?
Basically I'd like to have second screen ON, only if there is a notification. Many times I have them and I like it to check but the majority of the time I haven't any and I don't care to look at the time,i have a watch! Ahahahah
Thanks for help

I just put a . in and saved, then when you get a message or notification it'll show.

I'd like a feature that turns on second screen only if comes notification
I guess maybe only with root

Question Does the screen-off unlock fingerprint icon always stays on?

Recently, I've experienced the fingerprint icon always turning on when screen off. It should be turn off after some time until I raise my phone. It happen last night and I just realise it. I really don't know how is this happen. Even after formatting my phone, it still does that. Can someone confirm this again with your fingerprint setting and let me know the interaction when you choose "screen-off unlock" to "Show fingerprint icon". Thank you in advance.

there is an option to let it stay in locked screen, i had it too and turned it somehow off.
cant tell you where exactly because im new to realme and need to SEARCH every function by myself..

yes I know they have that function to turn it off. But when choosing to turn it on, it should be gone from the screen until making the device detects movement like picking up the phone.
