How to set Huawei Mate SE screen timeout

[Android Central Question]

Huawei Mate SE has a screen timeout (enters sleep mode) after only 8 seconds regardless of which option is set in settings under Display--> Sleep. Whether it be 15 seconds (the min.), 10 minutes (the max.) or Never, the phone always enters sleep mode after just 8 seconds. I'm so frustrated, I even tried entering Developer mode looking for a way to fix this, but no good. Please help. Thanks.

Any battery-saving set?

Tried Safe Mode?

Battery--> Power Saving Mode is set to off; Battery--> Ultra Power Saving Mode is set to off

I'm not sure what Safe Mode is...Thank you for responding to my question so quickly

Safe Mode is normally entered by long-pressing the Power button, then long-pressing on the “Power Off Phone?” message box. If the problem stops in Safe Mode, a third-party app is causing trouble.

Rebooting normally returns the phone to normal mode.

Can't access Safe Mode...I tried longpressing, but nothing happens...I'm at my wits end now...why does it continue to sleep after 8 seconds of inactivity, no mater what sleep mode setting I use? So frustrating...

Did you ever resolve this? I'm experiencing the same.
