S4 Screen remains On

[AC Question]

Helloo,

What can I do about the screen staying on? I've disabled smart stay and developer options.

The screen will remain on for a while day unless I restart the device which is really annoying since it drains the battery.

Any suggestions please?

Welcome to Android Central, and so sorry for the delay! Have you installed any apps that have any control over the screen? Try booting into Safe Mode: Reset: Samsung Galaxy S 4 | T-Mobile Support (scroll to the bottom of the article). This disables all 3rd party apps temporarily. If the problem goes away, then something you installed is causing the problem. If the problem remains, then there's something going on with the system/firmware or hardware.
