[Q] CM7 PIN screen timeout - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've converted my Wildfire from stock to CyanogenMod v7.1.0.1 over the last days. When I turn the phone on, the PIN screen is shown. However, this screen times out and the phone shuts down again after a mere five seconds. This is barely enough to enter the pin, and the timeout is apparently not restarted on key press.
Is there an option to extend this timeout from 5 seconds to perhaps 20 seconds?

EDIT: ...and yes, I did adjust "settings->cyanogenmod settings->lockscreen->delay and timeout", but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Exchange Security Question

I'm curious if others are seeing this behavior as well. My company requires pin activation as part of it's security policy with a maximum timeout of 15 minutes. So if I'm using my phone and it puts itself to sleep after my define sleep timeout as long as I use it again within 15 minutes I don't have to re-enter the password. However, if I use the power button to put it to sleep it immediately invokes the password requirement, even if it is within the 15 minute window.
Is this new with ICS or a bug? It never worked that way with my old Nexus One. It didn't matter if it went to sleep automatically or if I put it to sleep with the power button, as long as it was within the 15 minutes I didn't have to re-enter my password. I'm curious if others are seeing this behavior as well.
This is a base security feature of Exchange
When screen goes off, the phone immediately locks up. This is so that if your phone was going to be taken from you, you can hit the power button and lock it up.
The timeout on the other hand is an additional security feature.
I understand that it is a feature, but why the different behavior for when the screen times out and when I put it to sleep by hitting the power button. On all other phones I've used and previous versions of android the behavior is the same whether the phone sleeps on it's own or if I put it to sleep using the power button.

[REQUEST] Sleep instead of Lock

There are some kludgey apps that do something like this, but I'd like a GN ROM to native support having the power button trigger sleep, rather than lock.
This way, the phone would only lock whenever it reaches the sleep-to-lock timeout you've specified. So if I set it to 30 minutes, and hit the power button, I won't have to re-enter my PIN unless I leave it for the full 30 minutes. If I wake it before that, no pin required, and the timeout resets.
I would love to see this happen so I don't have to put in my pin every time I want to send a text!

[Q] Power button Always Locks since 4.1

Anyone experiencing this? I had the setting to be 30 minutes of idle would lock the phone (using the pattern lock).
After 4.1 my phone now locks whenever I use the power button with the same 30 minute idle setting. It's really annoying and defeats the purpose of having a timer lock the phone. The only option would be to let the phone screen timer idle out every time.
Not sure why this would change or if my phone is bugged.
There's a setting (in Security if memory serves) to lock the phone instantly if the power button is used. Did that get set during the update, perhaps?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
that options doesn't seem to have its own setting any more. It is however built into the lock screen timer - the top option is to have it lock at idle out or power button. From there it goes down in increments like 1m, 2m, 5m, 20m, 30m.
I have it set to 30minutes and also checked the security options - there isn't a separate option to lock with power button that I can find anymore.

Can't stop phone from resetting Screen Timeout to 15 Sec

Can't stop phone from resetting Screen Timeout to 15 Sec. Seem to happen randomly (doesn't always do it on reboot, doesn't always do it on screen lock, doesn't seem to be a specific interval... but it does eventually reset to 15 seconds no matter what other interval I select). Any idea why and how to fix?

Delayed response on lock button press

I have a Note 8 Global Version with MIUI 11. If my phone is locked and screen is off and I press the lock button or even scan my finger, it is taking approximately 4 to 5 seconds for the screen to be lit. A few information if it helps:
1. Let's say in lock screen the screen is supposed to be lit for 5 seconds. I press the lock button. Wait 3 seconds. Then the screen light turns on. But just after 2 seconds the screen turns off. It means the processor does read the button press immediately but somehow fails to turn the screen on immediately.
2. After the MIUI 11 update I was tinkering with the new options. And I found one old option actually - double tab lock button to start camera. I turned that on and checked how that works. That was the first time I noticed the delay of 3/4 seconds. So I thought it was related and disabled it. But still the issue persists.
Never happened to me. How much free RAM do you usually have free? Looks like the device is running slow in elaborating processes.
Do you notice other lags while normally using your phone during the day?
