Every time I open my phone with my password, it will lock itself within 10 seconds unless I keep "active" on whatever program I'm in. I've had the phone about 3 months. It didn't do this until I called AT&T last week and did some things that were suggested to me to save data. I didn't do anything with the display settings--in fact, I've gone back in to be sure the sleep setting is 10 minutes (unless I otherwise lock it myself).
 
Hello Michaela, welcome to the forums! Have you already checked your battery saver settings? See if switching it off makes any difference.
 
Thanks! I just looked at settings and somehow (mysteriously) it was set for locking after 30 seconds of inactivity. I suppose this would include looking a screen without scrolling? I changed it and we'll see what happens.
 
Yeah, you're right. Tell us if the problem persists. From time to time phones like doing funny things :)
 
Hello, by locks within 10 seconds do you mean it locks itself after
a.The screen turns off by itself or
b.You press the power button.
