S7 Won't Sleep While Game is Running - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

I have a G930F stock but rooted. I recently installed a game called "Battleborn Tap". I noticed that if the game is running in the background (ie. if I'm playing and hit the home button to go back to the home page), if I leave my phone on my desk, it won't auto sleep/lock. If I kill the game by using the recent apps button then the close all apps button, if I leave my phone on my desk it auto sleeps/locks like it should. Any one know if this is a setting I need to flip or if the game even when running in the background is keeping the phone awake?
Issue I had from yesterday was, while I was at worked during lunch I played for a couple minutes then went to browse the web using chrome. I then put my phone face down on my desk thinking it would auto lock in a few seconds. Two or so hours later I got a text message and saw that the phone is still awake and unlocked when I picked it up.

Verizon Touch Pro 2 - Will Not Enter Sleep Mode!

Hey everyone,
I need your help figuring out why my Touch Pro 2 will not enter sleep mode on it's own. For some reason, the back light will dim, but the screen will stay on even though I have all my settings correct in the power management settings. Has anyone experienced this before? I think the fact my phone will not sleep automatically really impacts my battery life as I can barley make it from 7AM-5PM with barely using it much. It use to work fine, but now it doesn't. I've even done a format of the device twice, but still that doesn't seem to fix the issue.
Any help or advice is appreciated.
Not sure what programs you have loaded but try cold boot, see if works. Then check as you add one program at a time.
There is also an option under settings/battery/advanced to force the device to sleep after a period of time.
@ Aspesi4
Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm having the same issue.
I'm not sure when it started as I have a habit of putting the phone to sleep manually before I holster it.
If I lock the phone, the screen will dim, and at intervals, get bright again on its own. If I leave it at the TF Home Screen, it will stay bright and never dim.
I just can't bring myself to hard reset this phone right now . . lol. Maybe when I have more time. For now, I'll keep manually putting the phone to sleep .. . . sort of a muscle memory thing anyway. I wouldn't mind fixing it though, either.
Nope, never solved this problem. Sorry, I think you're on your own on this one.
I have also been experiencing this problem. I just got my Verizon Touch Pro 2 about two weeks ago. I have only added a handful of apps (WinMo MarketPlace, NetFlix Mobile manager, AP Mobile News, WeatherBug, and Shazam. I am pretty sure it was doing this before Shazam.) I think the phone was doing this even before I installed anything on it, but not certain. This is what I noticed;(I had T-Mobile's version and it did not have this issue.) I was amazed that my new Verizon Touch Pro2 was draining its battery life much more quickly than my TMobile version. Then I figured it out; when ever I get any notice on my phone (missed call, text message, phone notification)the screen lights up. This is normal. However, what is not normal is that the screen stays on until I manually acknowledge the notification or I manually hit the sleep button. I have the power management settings to turn off the backlight if not used for 30 sec and to put the phone to sleep after 1 minute. I tested it a few times to see if it would eventually turn off, 1 minute, 3 minute, up to 15 minutes and it still stayed on. . .
htc touch pro 2 won't enter sleep mode
It's the weather program that keeps it awake ...Slider Bar -> Settings -> Data Download Weather -> Uncheck download weather automatically

"It's the weather program that keeps it awake ...Slider Bar -> Settings -> Data Download Weather -> Uncheck download weather automatically"......
Agreed it is the weather program.
Specifically I turned off my location data collection..... Settings > Location > Improve Location Service (Slide to off). This worked! However out of interest I switched it back on and my backlight still sleeps OK, I just hope this problem doesn't keep randomly popping up.
I'm experiencing the same issue, suddenly...
But when I re-enable the Location option, it won't go into sleep...
Any ideas how to fix this?
bloddy idiots. HTC adds fancy animated auto-downloading weather at GPS location and break the ability to turn the phone on or answer calls! Quietly BRILLIANT!!!!!! idiots.

[Q] Cognition 3.04 question

The dreaded 'Sleep/Death' has returned. . . sort of!
My phone began turning itself off when the screen shut off only after long periods of time, while I'm asleep overnight.
This began after I went through Cognition 3.04 and set many things to my taste. It still took days before the problem started. I then re-set every thing back and the problem went away.
I'm now done to two possible items that could have caused the problem:
1) The 3D App Screen enabled (yes I know it says Experimental and may cause instability)
2) Sync disabled (an attempt to keep from having to delete tons of emails that have already been taken care of on my computer.)
At the moment I have the 3D App Drawer enabled and Sync ON, but, as I said, it will be a few days before the problem shows.
Any thoughts on why either of these two things would cause a phone turn off?
It seems to be the 3D App Drawer. That's the fastest it has happened about 14-15 hours. Just to make sure I now have the 3D animation and the Sync off and we'll see if it happens anymore. I'm certain I can live without it!

[REQ] App to lock phone/force scheduled flight mode ??

I'm trying to find an app that can pretty much lock and enable flight mode/turn off all reception at a set time every night and unlock the phone again at a set time in the morning.
The reason for this is that i want to be able to lock my kids phones/tablets at night so that they can't use them at night but their alarms are still working as they should.
Since this is to stop the kids from playing with their phones all night instead of sleeping like they should the app HAS TO be lockable so that only i can access it's settings.
Is there any app like this out there in the interwebs ??
First topic by me so don't kill me if i've accidentally placed it wrong

Clock App that forces Tablet to stay Unlocked

I have old DigiLand tablet running Lollipop 5.1, not rooted. I just got a couple of Google Home minis and want to use it to run my Tasker/Autovoice scripts. My problem is that the screen keeps locking. I went into developer options and clicked on Stay Awake, so as long as it's sitting at the menu it doesn't go to sleep or lock.
However, since all the tablet will do is handle Google Home requests, I wanted to run a clock app on it -- looks cool sitting there in the bedroom. Problem is, so far, running the two clock apps I've tried, including the default clock app, when I exit the app, the screen is locked. I purchased Stay Awake and told it to keep the screen alive as long as clock app is running, but after a few hours, my Google Home requests fail because the screen is locked once it exits the clock app to perform the tasks.
My question is: Is there a clock app that can run and not cause the tablet to lock?
Thanks for any suggestions!

Android app to auto track sleep

I recently switched to Pixel, I want an app that just tracks sleep without me having to press a button in an app when I go to sleep. Samsung Health app would detect when I stopped using my phone and then tell me when I fell asleep and when I woke up 10.0.0.0.1 192.168.1.254 . Google fit doesn't have that, and I tried like 4 different sleep tracking apps and they all seem to require you pressing a button or something when you go to bed.
If such a 3rd-party app would exist, what I doubt, then it requires / uses your phone's sensors to detect movement and determine when you are asleep.
