Screen Timeout Not Working

[AllGood]

I was having issues with my email so i did a factory reset. Since the reset the Screen Timeout does not work. Its set to turn off in 15 seconds but i have increased the time to see if that resolves the issues with no luck. Also I have powered in down and turned it back on with no luck. Unable to find much on google or here about it. Any help would be great

TIA

When plugged in, not plugged in, or both? In settings>applications>development, there's an option to keep the screen awake when charging.

Sorry Cory i thought i subscribed to this thread.

I pulled the battery and success.....for like an hour. It happens when plugged in which i don't care about. My concern is it happens when not plugged in as well, kills the battery QUICKLY.

That's okay I was just teasing

I haven't experienced the problem you're describing, nor have I read any similar posts like yours. Do you have any 3rd party apps installed that might be causing this?

I did find the answer to the problem, Nimbuzz. I noticed it was having issues connecting and the screen would timeout and go off. Once it connected the screen never timed out. I would use ATK to kill Nimbuzz and it would go off again. Turned it on one more time and it wouldn't time out.

Glad you figured it out. 90% of the time it's a 3rd party app.

The developer of nimbuzz would probably be interested in this.

OP: send him an email explaining what happened. As a community we can make every product, application, and experience better I we share knowledge and experience.

My screen does not always timeout. Sometimes it is at 2 minutes, and others it stays on unless I reboot the phone. ANy thoughts?
