My screen atomatically times out and locks after 15 seconds. I have changed the settings in the Settings menu but it keeps defaulting back to 15 seconds. Is anyone else having this problem and know how to fix it?
You should be able to change timeout in settings. Go to found and display, then scroll down to display settings and set the time you want.

i'm using the standard rom
since i've installed launcher pro to get rid of motoblur's home, the screen doesn't lock screen anymore
it just turns off backlight, but any hw key awakes it and i find it unlocked
i already checked in settings and screen timeout is 30 and screen lock is enabled
That is not typical. Not sure what other settings to look at, but never known launcher pro to disable the lock screen.

Same here.
i've seen it happening from time to time
it seem that after the phone is on for a couple of days, the screen lock stops from kicking up after screen blank
if i reboot the phone it will work again
it never happened before, when i used the standard motoblur desktop
I've been having the same problem, as of a short while ago.
I notice that it happens when you manually lock (for me by pressing the Galaxy S power button) the phone while you're still in an application.
Every time it happens, I have to go and reenable the pattern lock.
Hello I am not sure at all what cause this problem but no matter what I do I cannot get my phone to have a lock screen. In fact I can't even to get it to slide in the beginning it just boots into my home screen and if I turn the screen on and off it goes straight back to the homescreen without me having to unlock anything. I've gone into the settings and made multiple types of passwords but none of them show up when I turn my screen on then off. I'm running paranoid android and any help would be nice

Did you try to set the lockscreen in the settings menu? there is an option there to disable it so maybe it got set somehow?
Now on ICS, my screen turns off while driving on every app other than Navigation or Vlingo. Any way to keep the screen on while charging or running specific apps like Maps or Music?
Thanks in advance...
Before you use them go to settings and change your screen timeout. Under settings you can also change it so your screen stays on while charging. Other then that check the settings for the app. I know Pandora has a setting to keep the screen on or let it auto dim.

Where is this option in settings? Used to be there in GB, cannot find it in ICS.
Download Screen On from the market. That's what I use to keep my screen on while charging. You can set it to stay on for whatever app you want.

Several options...Screebl, Screen On, and my favorite...Tasker
Funny you ask this question. I've been struggling to keep my phone awake when on a phone call via bluetooth. I work out of my home office and use my phone with a bluetooth care speakerphone. Unfortunately the usual timeout settings don't work when in a phone call, so I couldn't simply set my screen timeout for, say 1 hour, and keep it on during a call. It would still turn off in both stock OS and CM9, which I'm currently running.
Yesterday I figured this out. I now use Tasker with the Secure Setting plugin. Secure Settings has a setting for "Wake Device" and I use the options of "Screen Bright" for Wake Type and "Manual - On" for Duration. When the call ends, I have an exit task for "Wake Device" with options of "Screen Bright" (not sure it matters) and "Manual - Off". Works very well.
But for other apps (that don't overide the system timeout settings), I simply have a Tasker profile that sets my timeout settings to 10 minutes. Could set it longer, but that's sufficient for me.
If you have Tasker, I recommend using it for this purpose...one less app needed. However, I've read good things about Screebl and Screen On, so both are worth a look.
btw -- be careful in leaving your screen on. The Amoled screens suffer from burn-in.
Just a word of advice you shouldn't leave the screen on for amoled devices. I have had this phone for about 6 months and my notification bar is slightly burned it but not to annoying since its always there. However my ex girlfriends samsung fascinate had icons burned on the screen. You could always see them. That was pretty annoying.

Another vote for Screen On. I've been using it for a while with great results.
I remember in ICS there was an option (besides the option to set a screen off time), that you could set a time till your phone would lock. Say my screen went off in 60 seconds, I could set it so that in another 60 seconds the phone would lock. I can't find it in Jelly Bean, can't really remember exactly where it was in ICS. I just remember setting it.
Thanks!
I know CM had something like that, but didn't think stock did. It just has the screen timeout setting in display.
Go to:
Settings > Lock Screen > Lock Automatically
and you find:
View attachment 1460133
Not there for me.
Nothing in lock screen options either
You have to have to secure the lockscreen (with a pin, or other form of security) before you will see these options.

Ok I got it now. Wasn't like that before in ics. Kinda sucks, I just want the slide to unlock with that option.
Thanks again.
I'm using pattern lock screen and when I set the timeout value to 15 minutes, it works fine I.e. Within 15 minutes if I press the power button to turn the seven off and then back on - then it doesn't prompt me for my pattern.
However, when I set this value to never, it behaves like "immediately" - where I have to enter a pass each time.
PS: I know I can just use swipe or turn the security off but that's not my objective.
Anyone know of how to get this to work?
