What do you mean it's not locking after 15 seconds? The screen timeout or the watch locking is pass code? The only way to lock the device is to have samsung pay enable or have the secice ask for a pass code every time the device is taken off your wrist or when your watch goes into sleep mode which means if you don't use your watch and are not moving your wrist for a period of time the watch will lock.

Hi,
My work requires me to have a password on my phone, and has set the maximum auto-lock time to 29 minutes. If I turn the screen off with the power button and then turn it back on less than 29 minutes later, the phone goes right to my home screen. If I turn it back on greater than 29 minutes later, the phone goes to the swipe/unlock screen.
I like the swipe screen - it prevents me from accidentally opening apps when I reach into my pocket to take out my phone. But obviously I don't want to have to enter a password every time I turn the screen on.
So - is there a way to tell it to activate the swipe screen every time I turn the screen on, but only require the unlock password if it has been > 29 minutes since the last time I turned it on?
Thanks

Settings>Lock screen and security>Secure Lock Settings. There you can turn off "Lock automatically with power button" and you can also change the amount of time under "Lock Automatically". That may take you directly to the home screen though...havent tried it. If you set up a finger print its super easy to unlock, though.
Anyway to make smart lock work for you?

Maybe I didn't explain myself correctly. I don't want it to Lock because I don't want to have to input a password every time. I also don't want to change the amount of time because I don't want to increase the frequency of times that I need to enter the password.
All I want is for the swipe screen to appear every time I turn the screen on. I want the lock screen to appear only when the phone has been off for 29 minutes. My work does not allow us to use the fingerprint unlock.. it has to be an 8 character password.

Yes, smart lock is enabled and works well. But with smart lock, the swipe screen only appears after 29 minutes; I just don't need to enter the password. I want the swipe screen to appear even if the screen has only been off for 30 seconds.
I'm used to answering calls with phone in my pocket and using headphones.
This worked well on my m8, but after upgrade to u11, when call finishes, screen remains on and no lock.
This means that I have to take it out of pocket and lock it.
Is there a way to prevent that?
Maybe in your settings you have define a lock timeout for that?
Mine when call ends shows the PIN Unlock screen. If it's in my pocket it just lock again, I've set 1 minute to it self lock.
Can't for some reason find an option anywhere on the phone to stop this from happening. Every time I'm on a call after about 10 seconds the screen will dim and a few seconds later goes to black. Can tap on screen 2x to wake it up again but I don't want this to ever happen. Not connected to full device shut down that I have turned up to 5 mins so has nothing to do with that setting. Can anyone assist and help me stop this form happening all the time? Many thanks!

Go to Settings/ Accessibility/ Screen reader/ Under Voice Assistant tap settings then scroll down to Quick Menu, tap it, then look for Dark Screen toggle. Click this setting off.. Let me know if that works for you.

Thank you! I turned it off. Next time I'm on a call I'll see if it did the trick and post back.

Not sure then because that was the only thing I could find.. Maybe it's a setting that we don't have control over.. I do know that the screen is supposed to shut off when it's close to your face and the reason being is so that your face isn't pressing on stuff and making the phone do things you don't want it to be doing.. My moms face sure does seem to disable a lot of stuff like fast charging and even turning the screen brightness so low that she thought it was broken haha..

HA. No, phone is on a desk, not near my face. But yeah most phones nowadays do that. Thanks for trying tho.
Anyone else with any thoughts?
Tried replicating the problem on my end. I called someone, enabled speakerphone and put the phone on the table.
The screen indeed turned dim after 10 seconds and turned black afterwards. It bypassed my screen timeout setting which is 5 minutes. The phone app is in the foreground. Double tapping the screen wakes it up.
I minimized the phone app; the homescreen is now in the foreground. It adhered to the 5 minutes screen timeout setting.
I guess the temporary workaround is that after you answer the call, exit out of the phone app.

Hi. I had the same problem and found the solution using third party application: Screen On Call from Google Playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vorlan.screenoncall.free
It is compatible with Samsung dialer. On the top later you have small button to prevent screen going dark or to disable it. Proximity sensor is working without problem when you hold the phone to the ear.

Yaaawhoooooooo!!! This totally works. I have been an Android user for years and could find an answer for this nowhere. Users, be sure to turn on "Appear on top".
Thank you. Life changing.
I have galaxy watch 4 classic.
I adjust screen time out for 30 second or higher but it turn off immediately when it turn on. Could anybody help please?
is a bug but samsung is doing nothing
it doesn't work with wrist movement but when you wake it up by touching the screen it works
Something similar here. When I receive a notification, if I raise my hand to see it sometimes (2 out of 10) the screen turns off before I can even see the notification. I have read this is how Samsung designed it in order to save battery (if you move your arm when the screen is on it turns off) but in case of a notification it should give at least 4-5 seconds before turning off. Is there any way to sove it? Maybe disabling motion sensors or whatever? Ahy idea?
Thank you for your help

That's the whole idea. If you keep on wearing the watch, it will remain unlocked after first unlock. (as per manual)
I am not aware of way to manually re-lock the screen.
