I've noticed over the last few weeks that even when I change my screen timeout to 5 or 10 minutes, it reverts back to 1 minute. Has anybody experienced this? I'm not rooted a d was wondering if it was a theme causing this, but don't am not too sure About that neither.
I'd greatly appreciate any help or feedback.

i agree. it seem it reverts back every reboot
Are you running any themes?

I'm running themes and don't have an issue. Did you disable any packages with Package Disabler Pro? If so, that might be the issue.

Yes I did. I'm not sure which one it could be.
Screen still shuts off. I'll continue to research it

Another option would be to leave it at 1 minute and use smart stay to keep the screen on when you're looking at it. I know that's not the solution you're looking for but it might be an option.

Have you tried Tasker?

I'm not 100% sure it does what you want, but if any app is gonna do it, Tasker will.
yes but I have a lot of battery drain with tasker...

Well there has to be a program running to check if the screen goes off and launch a different app so you're not getting anything better than that.
I was watching a video of tips and tricks for this phone and I saw one tip and now I can not find it in settings. The tip was that you could schedule the phone to auto restart. Just had to pick the day and time and frequency. I have searched all through phone and I just can't find it. I then searched for video I watched and I can't find that now. Anyone offer some assistance please.

Lol thinking too much. You can only restart your phone once a week with the settings.

Actually it defaults to once every 24 hours if you don't schedule it yourself. I bet a few of them think they have an issue because of this.

Maybe on your US-device, but NOT on the international one (SM-G955F)!
When "once in a week" is not set, it won't restart every day!
Can someone tell me the benefit of auto restart? I can do this on my phone but not sure for the benefit.
No need for that. My phone restarts on its own like every other day...
Can someone tell me if the AT&T model supports this feature or did they remove it?

It is in the AT&T model.
A great feature of the settings panel is the lookingglas. You can search for keywords and directs you to the relevant setting or section.
Feature enabled but no restart
I have it set restart ok Mondays at 5am but nothing happens. To test I've set it for 10 minutes in the future and set the phone down. Nothing happens. Factory reset and still nothing. Any idea? Does anyone know the package responsible for this feature?

You could re enable them one at a time and see if that's the problem. I have quite a few packages disabled but no problem with the screen timeout.
Edit:
Take a look at this thread on the S8 XDA forum.

Exactly:good:
If I try to put an app (from recent apps screen) in split window, nothing happens: the option is there, but clicking on it does nothing.
Popup mode works fine.
Any options I have to enable?
It seems is an apk I have disabled, but not sure which one: if I re-enable all it works...
Gotta try one by one out of 95 disabled APKs :-(
Found it: it was appsedge

Especially when it's PEBKAC. At least they owned it not many do and continue feigning a need for attention.
