Nexus 7 ignores screen timout/sleep mode settings

[tobi77]

Hello,

i have a problem with my Nexus 7 8GB.

It seems to ignore the screen timout settings in the sleep mode and always shuts off the screen after 10 to 20 sec.....even if i set sleep mode to 1 min or higher...

it is especially annoying when i read something and suddenly the screen goes off :'(

what can i do about it..or is it a bug? maybe a factory reset will help?

thanks

Wow that would be annoying!

I assume you have reset the device to factory settings and tested it then? If so, it sounds like a device return may be in order.

Using any kind of cover? If so, take the cover off for a day and see if it still does it.

Have you installed any apps recently that mess with the display? Or maybe some battery saving app?

no cover or magnet stuff used

yeah indeed i tried some third party tools which dealed with brightness and battery but deinstalled them... ...maybe they messed it up :-[

so a factory reset should help?

Run the third party apps again, then set both your system and app settings the same. After that uninstall the app.
