Keeps resetting timeout to 30 seconds

[nancygail]

Hello!

I found how to fix this from a year ago but since then the UI has changed and the option that allows you to turn off the reset of the timeout is no longer there. At least it's no longer where everyone said it was.

Does anyone know as of March 2020 how to prevent my phone from resetting to a 30 second screen timeout every day?

Thanks!
Nancy

You use medium power saving mode or adaptive? Try high performance

That did it. I was using medium. No info I had found on the fix stated it had to be on high performance to get to that setting. The three dots now show under device care whereas on the other settings they weren't there.

Thanks SO much!

Your welcome
Yeah if you pull the notification panel down and tap just the words battery not the icon , it's a short cut there

Boy, THAT'S straightforward and predictable.

Or...
Settings > Device Care > 3 dots upper right corner > Advanced > Optimize Settings > Screen time out. Turn this one off.

yeah... I'm the guy that just answered your same question in the Samsung Forum. LOL I thought the question sounded familiar. And yes, this is for the latest version.

I don't think I got notification of that other response. Appreciate your input though. Nice to finally get this to stop!
