Samsung Galaxy S6 Screen Goes Blank Immediatly After Startup in Power Saving Mode

A

AC Question

Hi guys. Got a new Galaxy S6 from Cricket. OK phone but one quirk -- my previous was S3 so maybe I missed something obvious everyone has gotten used to. When I power up the phone, if I don't log in, after less than 10 seconds the screen goes completely blank. It doesn't dim first as it would if I were logged in. It just boots up, displays the "auto update date and time", displays notifications, and after a few seconds, it's like a blank screen unfolds from the center of the screen.

I can tap the power button to turn it on again, but it seems annoying and strange. My screen timeout can be set to either 30 seconds or 1 minute with the same result. It's weird, almost like a blank screensaver opening up.

Any ideas? Could this be specific to Cricket?
