How do I make WidgetLocker launch without waking the screen? Every time I press power, it turns the screen back on after about 3 seconds, then I can press it again and it stays off. Apparently this is because the Archos firmware (I have UrukDroid 1.0, same either way) turns screen on when _any_ app is launched in the background, unless it's a service.

there is any way to stop automatically screen time out - turn off so it always stay on but is only locked, or wake up on another button besides power button, since I have a huge issue wake up screen.
AFAIK, the only way to lock your phone is by turning the screen off. If you left your screen on all the time, your battery would die after a couple of hours.
Download widgetsoid from the market. Theres a widget to keep screen on but I dont think it would be locked.

Hello, I come from a Nokia 5800 and this behavior was common in CFWs, but I can't find anything similar on android yet.
What I mean is, android's behavior is something like this:
- 30 seconds go by and the screen dims.
- 5 seconds more and screen turns off.
- 2 seconds more and lockscreen kicks in.
- If you want to use the phone now, you must press power or home button.
In Nokia 5800, it was something like this, and what I'm looking on android:
- 30 seconds go by and screen dims.
- 5 seconds more and screen turns off.
- xx seconds more and lockscreen kicks in. Also (this is the important part!) if you tap the screen at this point while the screen is off, it turns on back again! Kinda like when its dim and you touch it and it lights up again. Same behavior but with screen off!
My question is, Is there some way to replicate this behavior on android?
Thanks.
I have a sprint Samsung Galaxy S3, rooted...Int he past week or 2, whenever I am in an application (Chrome, Yahoo, GTalk, etc) The screen will sometimes randomly shut off. It just goes black, i can still touch and use whatever app I was in (I can hear the sounds of clicks, etc) and the buttons stay lit on the bottom. When I press the lock button it makes the lock noise. When I then unlock it, i get to the lock screen with no problems. If I unlock into whatever app I am running, the screen will almost immediately shut off again, or sometimes after a few seconds, or sometimes it waits until i touch the screen. BUT, if I unlock into a system app (messages, phone, homescreen, etc) the problem doesnt happen.
I have tried adjusting all the display settings for screen timeout, rebooting, battery out, killing services, etc and nothing seems to work.
Any ideas?

are you on stock ROM? if not it may be a problem with your ROM
try a reset and flash ROM again or flash another ROM
Hello,
Yesterday I have unlocked my phone with my finger print (like I always do) and it took about 5-6 seconds for the screen to show something. The backlight turned on rather quickly but the screen remained black. After the screen turned on, it had a bad case of screen retention, the colors were also darker and I could not use the buttons from the bottom of the screen. A reboot solved all this problems.
Also, sometimes when I turn on the screen, it quickly goes dark and the slowly comes back to the initial state. During this time I cannot use the touch screen. It is like it does the wake up of the screen all over again.
I think this is a software issue (I have V20C on H850) and it might be related to the always on display. Also, all of these problems happened when I woke my phone using only the finger print (not pressing the button or knocking on the screen).
Did anything like this happen to you?
With the S9+ powered up but the screen black: Press power button and I get the PIN screen as I have selected. In 3 seconds, the screen goes dark again. Can this be extended? The timeout is too short to read notifications before it goes black.
I am not referring to the screen timeout that is easily modified in settings.
Thanks (sorry if this is a dup - I did search)
Answer: 3 seconds is the built-in value
I had a chat session with Samsung and they confirmed that the built-in timeout is 3 seconds and can't be changed. That is the answer.
FYI: They have a very nice tool that allows them to take over your phone and you can watch them work.
Use Case
1. Phone is booted up, uses a pattern to unlock, allows notifications on the lock screen, has 30 second timeout (example)
2. Screen is black
3. Press Power button
4. You get the unlock screen and any notifications that exist - possibly many of them. This is allowed in the notification and lock screen settings
5. You start to read through the notifications to see if there are any that need attention and if not, you just put the phone down
6. In 3 seconds from the point when you get the lock screen and notifications, the screen goes black again unless you do something
The point is that you should be able to set a longer time (e.g., 15 seconds) for the screen to stay on before it goes black. That way you could review the notifications to see if you really want to log in and do something. This would not appear to be a security problem since the phone is still locked.
This is the way it is designed - working as designed per Samsung.
fyi

There seems to be a work around. If you turn on face unlock, but don't point it at your face, it seems the lock screen will stay on and keep trying to find your face. Of course, you may not want to use face unlock.
