Timeout not Functioning - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hello,
I got a new S7 this week. I noticed since I got it that after it has been on day or two the screen timeout stops working, that is, the phone display dims after 30 seconds but never locks -- it says on dimmed. I have to press the power button to turn off the display and lock.
Anybody else seen this? Any ideas?
Thanks!

Cyanogenmod 7 annoying bug-volume rocker keys wake screen when not wanted-CM6 problem

Ok guys.
I have a seriously annoying problem that has been here since CM6, at least since I started running it in late January, and is still
in CM7. Whenever you're listening to music, and have a screen lock delay (mine is set to 1 minute) whenever you press one of the
volume keys to adjust the volume the screen turns on. Yes, I have volume rocker wake unchecked in settings. This only happens during
the 1 minute time though, after it locks then the screen doesn't turn on. So if I had screen lock delay set at 5 minutes the volume
keys would continue to turn on the screen for 5 minutes until the lock activated. This happens if you have a lock delay, if you don't
then they never turn on the screen (unless you have it enabled in settings or you press one immediately after the screen turns off.)
If you have no lock/protection then this doesn't happen either, but if you have a delay it does. Please help, this wastes battery
life and is very annoying.

Screen wake delay too long

Hi,
I seem to have an issue where my note pro's wake time is so slow.
When i press the home button or power button it takes around 3 seconds before the screen turns on. Is there anything i can do to make it faster?
Hope to get some help here :good:
[Update] the screen suddenly wakes normally now. I did not do anything..after two weeks of use it fixed itself.

Screen won't turn on

This happens to me since yesterday. Rebooted several times, still no change.
When my phone is asleep and I try to wake it via fingerprint it won't turn on. Only if I wake it via power button it turns on but I have to wait 30 sec or so until it does. Once the screen is on, it seems to work fine.
I will elaborate this a bit further, maybe I can find out the cause. But has anyone of you had this problem, too?
1) Have you tried to configure finger prints again and see what happens?
2) Put phone to sleep and wake it up in few seconds with the fingerprint, does it wake up or no?

[LCD Replacement] Screen doesn't light up after sleep

Hello everyone,
I bought a LCD replacement for my OPO, and asked a friend to replace the screen (he had his own OPO, and changed the screen on it a couple times, so I trusted him).
The frame was not included, so the phone is without it unfortunately.
But I have this problem with the screen itself...
I boot the phone, everything goes well, it boots, everything ok, I can do everything...
Then the phone goes to sleep after the 30s, and sometimes when I press the button to turn it on, the lights in the bottom light up, I can hear sounds, I can swipe to answer calls for example, but the screen stays all black.
If I press the power button to turn it to sleep mode and then click again to wake it within 1 or 2 seconds, it works everythime.
Its just when it goes to sleep... And then I have to press the power button to reset the phone, and it boots again.
I'm using the LineageOS Rom, and I never had problems like this before replacing the LCD.
What caused this? Could the screen be "broken" when I bought it?
Thank you for reading this and for the help!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well,clearly the issue is lcd itself.Happened with me on my last screen replacement,it was defective.Though in my case,I had to power on/off the device to get the display back.Get a refund or replacement,there's no other alternative.

Screen Stays on While Running

Recently, my Fit2 Pro has started keeping the screen on while I'm out running. It used to turn off after the timeout (15 seconds) but now I have to turn the screen off manually, and then it'll turn on again and stay on. Maddening.
I've had to get around this by turning DND on or by turning off the wake gesture. Anyone else getting this problem or is my unit faulty?
