Confused here... Your title says your phone won't sleep.. But your post says your screen times out (shuts off?)??
Little more please....

Try to delete some recent apps you installed.
I never got to the bottom of this. My screen will turn on after I get a txt or the alarm clock rings.

Those are proscribed behaviors... The phone is supposed to do that unless you dl a mod. I think freeza did a mod for the messaging notifications....

Hope I'm not thread jacking. But they turn on and never turn back off. So if I don't put my phone on the charger at night and then I get a txt, the screen stays on and drains. Or if I snooze in the morning and pass back out, the screen stays on.

Wake locks! Use better battery stats to tell you what the offending app is.

I'm actually having this issue. Phone will stay on and won't go into sleep. Touch key light duration is set to 1.5 seconds but this stays on as well. And I'm having to reset the phone every time this happens. Could anyone direct me to resolving this issue?
Use better batteey atats to find the app keeping it awake, and uninstall.

I seem to be having issues running Tasker on CM10. It doesn't crash and it says the profiles are running but it doesn't do anything.
Is anyone rocking the Tasker on CM10?
Thanks.

Works fine over here on CM10. Enabling/Disabling GPS doesn't work, but silencing the phone on a schedule and opening Spotify when headphones are plugged in works just fine.

Create a Profile that activates when the app is started, ending when the application exits. Start task should be auto brightness off, set brightness to 255. End task just turns auto brightness back on.

How is your task set up? And it also works to enable lux auto brightness at night so I would assume it can adjust brightness overall.

If your screen is set to auto brightness, you need to turn that off before it can be manually adjusted. Your profile should look something like this:
Starting YouTube:
Auto brightness: Off
Brightness: 255
Ending YouTube:
Auto brightness: On

I did what you said and it does not work. I even turn the auto screen off and ran it with no success.
I should try other profiles to see if it is me not knowing how to create them or the app or something.
What other profiles do you find yourself running.

I haven't made one yet but I'll probably make an auto sync toggle profile to sync mail, etc. I've been looking for some battery savers but last time I tried to disable data a la JuiceDefender I stopped receiving texts for some weird reason.
That's odd. I know for a fact the brightness adjustments work. I'm using the latest CM10. I just built a profile for the YouTube app and it works as expected.
Check attached images. Also, be sure the profile is enabled (green check mark), and that Tasker is on (On button, bottom right corner of screen).

What bothers me is that when I open YouTube, Tasker says that is running the profile but the screen brightness does not change at all. I will reinstall and see if it works and let you know.
I'm running CM10 8-14 version as it runs smooth with no flickering. I'm also running Justin bean inverted g apps, could that be the problem?

In your latest post with attachments, post #11, here is what you are telling Tasker to do:
1: When YouTube app starts, Autobrightness Off (don't know what this task contains, as there is no screenshot of it).
2. When YouTube app closes, Brightness set to 255.
Your profile still doesn't match my attached pictures on page one (or you haven't uploaded new screenshots). Make it identical to mine.
If it still doesn't work, I suspect its your version of CM10. Update it. I know that's not the answer you want, but if the above doesn't work, that's the only one left.

That's for all the help but it didn't work and I did exactly as you suggested. Take a look. It shows as running but it is not turning off the auto brightness. I have tried turning it manually before running the Tasker with no success.
I guess I'll just give it another try once I update the cm10 but I'm happy with the older version and wouldn't want to risk getting all the problem(flickering, echoes, call delay) present on the newer versions.
What version are you on?

Does the Gallery Brightness profile do the same thing? Does that one work?

Always running the latest version. Echoes and call delay were fixed last week. The only flickering that bothers me, is that when I exit certain applications (like Apparatus), the screen has a brightness seizure for a couple seconds. The other flickers look like a redraw; nitpicking. You can always nandroid the current install.

yeah in my GPS on/off profile it always spazzes out at random intervals. and even though i have the profiles connected to cell towers and not GPS or Net, im pretty convinced it's somehow draining my battery. i had no real issues with CM10 (aside from the documented flicker and call delay) until i installed and started trying to use Tasker. now the GPS is glitchy, the vibration turns on/off at random times, so does the wifi and worst yet, actual cell reception gets knocked out altogether. i've triple checked my settings and i know it's not the profiles themselves. i really hope the stable version of CM10 will play nice with Tasker because its such a sweet app.
For GPS, install Secure Settings. It's free and in Play Store. Never have an issue with it controlling GPS from Tasker.

This past week the stock Samsung internet browser app dims when opened. Then when I close it the phone goes back to the brightness level it was at before opening up the browser. only happens when using the Samsung stock browser. Anyone else having this problem?
Stock AT&T GSIII
Edit: Also wanted to add that this is not happening on my wife's GSIII.

Check display settings. There is an option to change the screen tone to reduce battery usage. Try unchecking that.

Thanks for the reply but just unchecked it and it's still doing the same thing. Even tried toggling on and off auto brightness and it still does the same thing. It's very strange.
Try turning off powesaver.

I'm chalking this up to a bug. I have a friend with an S3 with this exact problem. No amount of settings changing would fix it. I'm pondering doing a factory reset on his and seeing if that fixes the problem.
I was having the same issue. Turning off power save mode fixed it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Its not a bug. I was able to make this happen or not happen by changing a few settings, but I don't remember which ones because I'm on AOKP.
But it definitely is a battery saving feature, so turn off all battery saving stuff and then try it.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
The Samsung gs3 browser has its own display brightness settings that are independent of your screen brightness settings. While in the browser press menu and you should see a screen brightness option. You can select between 3 levels of brightness or set your own slider.
Thanks everyone...I found the culprit.
For anyone else having this problem, it is under the phone settings, power saving, I unchecked "Background color" which says "Change background color to save power in internet"

I could possibly create an app for this. If you change the permissions of /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness to read only, they stay on. But when you shut the screen off the lights shut off, but when you turn the screen back on, they stay off and never come on. So if i created an app to right a value of 1 to the brightness file then change the permission to read only after receiving the screen on broadcast, it should work.
Only issue is, i just reinstalled windows. NOTHING is set up yet other than basic drivers so it might take some time unless someone else has the ability to create it.
That sounds great. No real hurry its more of a quality of life improvement for me. If you or anyone wants to definitely let me know I and I'm sure many others, would greatly appreciate it

I dont know if anyone is facing the same problem I have now, my n2 screen wont turn off by itself. I have set the timer on 15secs, smart stay disable. It juz wont turn off when idle. And if its fully charged, it will stay up all night as well.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Does it relate to my Omega rom or Redpill kernel?
Thanks
Do you have motion on?

I had this even when I was on 4.1.1. Thought the upgrade would solve it for me but it didn't. Tough luck. Still searching for 3rd party apps that could give me a permanent solution.

I dun have a fix to this problem but I have a tasker profile that turns the screen off when battery is fully charged. You might want to try that as an interim.
What is your screen time out once mine was changed automatically check that

Just kidding, that's very strange. I noticed if you reboot the phone and don't touch it, when it comes on the screen never turns off either. Doesn't matter if it's plugged in or not.

do you have the power option to stay on whilst charging?
It's not smart stay, not the screen rotate with your head thingy nor the developer option that keeps the screen on while the device is being charged. I turned all that off. This is clearly a big that I've had from 4.1.1. Can't get rid of it. Annoyance at its peak.

Are you saying that the screen just won't turn off, or that it turns itself on and then won't turn off?
If it's the first, my guess is an app which prevents the screen from turning off, didn't release its lock after being shut down. This can happen with some games, I've seen it with angry birds and jetpack joyride, titanium backup has done it too. Try to empty ram and kill processes, and/or reboot, though I would guess you might have tried that already.

If doesn't turn on on its own. When the bug kicks in, the screen doesn't go off if it's manually turned on or If a missed call or message is left unattended. Hope you got that. But yes, I can turn off the screen manually but doing that every time is ridiculously annoying. The bad thing is I cannot know if the bug is active or not without actually watching my screen till the timeout. Annoying bug! I've tried various things and I do not know what's causing this. I'm on stock rom, never rooted.
