My lock screen is timing out too fast, how can I extend this?

Re: lock screen timing out too fast.

I want my lock screen to stay ON while my phone is LOCKED.

Seems it will only lock AFTER the screen times-out from non use.
I want it to Lock after 1 minute of non-use and screen timeout never.

tried 2 of the suggestions given above, with no result....
1. Changing Settings>Lock Screen>lock automatically only changes the amount of time the phone stays unlocked AFTER the screen is already turned off, so you do not have to re-enter password when you swipe to turn screen back on and it goes to your home page. It does not change the amount of time the screen stays on AFTER the phone is locked! The screen turns after few seconds.

2. Changing settings>display>scree timeout does't work either, that only works when the phone is unlocked. Once locked, meaning needing password to reopen, the screen always shuts off after a few seconds.

anyone figure it out.....
Samsung j7prime, not rooted.

I discovered a solution, but you guys aren't going to like it...
The issue is actually with the Lock Screen's wake timer being tied to the Button Light timer (Because Samsung is smart).

Anyhow to solve this problem you need to connect your phone via USB to a PC.
Open the Command Prompt as an administrator.

Now you will use a series of ADB terminal commands. If you don't know how to use Android Debug Bridge, you should find someone who does.
This is not recommended if you don't know what you are doing.

First enable USB connection on ADB
"adb usb"

Next get the value of the button key light (it should be 1500 ms which is 1.5 s)
"adb shell settings get system button_key_light"

You can change this value back to the default which is 6 seconds by changing the value to 6000
"adb shell settings put system button_key_light 6000"

If you feel like turning the lights off completely you can use a 0 for disable
1 will force them to be always on.

"adb shell settings put system button_key_light 0"
"adb shell settings put system button_key_light -1"
