In the last few days.. About half the time my screen will dim after a few seconds, but never turn off.. I haven't installed anything new in that time. I check Task Killer and I don't see anything out of the ordinary running... But the screen just never goes off.. Any idea why?
Have you checked the settings for screen turn off?

I have this problem, when you dont touch the phone, the phone is set to turn the screen off (standby) at a set time, and before it goes standby the screen goes dim for a few second then back to normal brightness, and a few seconds more the screen goes off.
does anyone have this, is it normal.
sorry forgot to mention, the display setting is set to auto brightness

my phone screen switches on for a split second every minute then turns back off. For the life of me I can't figure out why. I don't have any programs (that I know of) installed that would cause this. any suggestions?
Maybe I'm just an idiot, but I can't for the life of my get my screen to not timeout after 15 seconds or so. I have the "Screen Timeout" setting set to 10 minutes and I turned Smart Stay off as I believe that was the culprit originally and it doesn't matter. If I don't touch the thing for a few, the screen turns off...and it DRIVES ME NUTS!! I HATE when the screen turns off when I don't tell it to. At least when Smart Stay was on it would stay on when I was looking at it. Now it doesn't matter. No touch, no on.
Am I missing something? There HAS to be a way to get the screen to stop timing out...
Do you a have the lock screen turned on? If so, check the timing on it.

That got it. Thank you. Strange they'd essentially over ride settings between menus. Oh well. Thanks again.
So this morning, my at&t note 4 screen started to go nuts. it will unlock screen by itself, the phone auto dims screen without auto dim being on, and repeats until I put phone into airplane mode, or shut it off. It only started happening today? what could be the issues?
Hello,
I finally updated my HTC One S to the Samsung S9 running version 8.0 of Android
I have found that for some reason, the phone needs to tell me the battery is charged by turning the screen on, and the screen does not turn back off again. I searched here and tried the Googles and seems like that is something Android started doing after my old phone so I cannot find a setting. It also appears via the Googles that there is no setting? Is this correct?
I would like to either make it so notifications do not turn on the screen or that the screen will turn itself back off.
I would be satisfied to have the screen saver turn on while on the charger. I have it set to after 5 minutes but it has never turned on.
If some one could help me with either or both my problems, I would greatly appreciate it. I really don't like that the screen turns on when I plug the charger in, but I can live with it if it turned off.
Thanks
EDIT I would like to add that I have all my AOD stuff turned off.

Since it has been about 6 years since I set my last phone up, I completely forgot about Developer Options.
I unlocked D O and found a setting in there to leave the screen off while charging. I think....I figured out the problem.
I can't believe I forgot about D O :silly:
I still have not figured out the screen saver but I no longer am real concerned about it. I would like to know how to turn off the notification that the battery is charged.
Anyhow, if anyone does not know how to get to the Dev Options on Oreo, it is:
Open Settings
Select System ---> About phone.
Scroll down and tap seven times on the Build number entry.
EDIT. The setting fixed the screen saver issue as well as keeping the screen off
