Screen timeout defaults to 15 seconds? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6

Hey guys, for some reason my screen timeout keeps switching back to 15 seconds no matter what I choose. I keep selecting 1 minute and it will go back to 15 seconds as soon as I exit settings.
Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks!

Mine stays at whatever I set it at. Do you have it on power save mode maybe? Or something similar?

It ended up being an app I had installed. I removed Hi Locker and Light Manager and the issue went away. Not sure which one it was but I'm assuming it was Hi Locker since I reinstalled Light Manager since then and it's still working fine.
Thanks!

No issues here
Yeah mine does not have this issue so maybe it is a setting somewhere that you accidentally enabled?

I had the same problem,
Disabled push email.
Problem went away.
I have a similar problem. Is there a way to see what application is opening the data connection. I had email set to download once a day, so it was not my email. Can't think what else it may be...

How to change backlight timeout when locked?

Hi,
Is there any way to change backlight time out when the phone is locked(long red button press)??? Normally my phone is set up to turn of backlight after 40 sec -and I wanna KEEP it. I need to shorten that time to 5 sec only when the phone is locked(when accidentally I press any button in the pocket it will be unnecessary draining battery for 40 sec. Please can anybody help me?
Bump, I would like a solution to this also. Seems like my Diamond used to time out after ten seconds when locked, but it doesn't do that anymore. Now it uses the settings in the Setting:System/Power/Backlight, which I have set at 45 seconds I believe. I think installing Phone Alarm might have something to do with it. I disabled Phone Alarms power settings, but still same problem.
Anyone know the fix for this?
Nevermind, I just started using S2U2, and I can adjust this the way I need it. Thanks.

Screen sleep timeout stuck at 15 seconds

Hi everyone,
I am currently running the rom found at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1464758
and am having a problem adjusting the time before the screen shuts off due to inactivity. At the moment whenever I change it from 15 seconds, the change appears to have taken affect (it shows the change in settings), then I leave the settings and it resets back to 15 seconds with no notification. It appears even if I leave my pad on the settings it does not change anything and still shuts the screen off after 15 seconds.
So now my question is threefold.
1.) Am I able to fix this problem in any way or is it a byproduct of the HP Touchpad itself?
2.) I have screeble, but it does not appear to be receiving information from the pad's accelorometers. Is there any way to fix this?
3.) I have tasker, though I have not messed around with it much. Is there any way to use tasker to force the setting in if the settings are unresponsive?
EDIT: Reflashing the ROM didn't work. Tasker didn't work.
EDIT 2: It looks like it was screeble that was deciding to keep on reseting my screen off time even when it was disabled. I deinstalled it and things seem to be working fine.

Screen timeout keeps resetting?

Is anyone else experiencing this? I read quite a bit on my phone and usually keep it set at 1-2 mins but it always resets back to 15 seconds ;s

The postman delivered this house brick from Korea this morning. My daughter bless her little cotton socks has bought me this Note to replace my HTC(theres nothing wrong with my HTC). I have tried since 10am this morning to adjust the screen time and as with you it just will not have it, my HTC and my laptop are set up so that when plugged into the mains they stay on but this big bugger won't and an additional problem is that even though it is charging the battery is falling like beer down a miners throat.

have you installed any power saving apps ,maybe that is interfering with your screen off setting ?

Okay so I came across this issue today and I've figured out how to solve this. You must have enabled power saving mode at certain %. If you did go to custom power saving settings ---> screen timeout and change it to how long you want it on. You must also change the same time under display ----> screen timeout to what ever you chose under power saving mode. To test it restart the phone and go back under display and should see your last picked timeout minutes. :good:

You are lucky! My Galaxy S4 keeps resetting to 2 seconds! That doesn't even give you time to keep going to settings and changing it to 30 seconds or minute... Any fix for this annoying problem?
I noticed this was happening even with my power saving turned off. As deziking had posted, for me the fix seemed to be changing the settings in the "Power Saving" menu options. Mine was set to "immediately". Changing my Power Saving to kick in at 5% battery power seems to have remedied the problem.
Hope this helps.
Go to settings, device care, press the 3 circles at top right of screen, tap auto device optimisation and turn it off.

[Q] Phone won't sleep, just dimming?

I just got the moto X and unless I press the power button, the screen will just dim, it won't actually sleep.
My sleep timeout is set to 30 secs, so I don't know what's the issue here!
Anyone else have this problem?

Did you ever find a solution to this? The same thing is happening to me. If I restart the phone it goes away for awhile but comes back. I've checked running apps, and stopped everything I can think to stop and that doesn't fix it either.
