On OnePlus 7t Pro, running Android 11, Nova Launcher prevents the screen to turn off and put phone to sleep. I have manually tap the power button to turn the screen off. The time setting to turn off the screen is set to 30 seconds, but the screen is still on after 15 minutes.
Any ideas?
Never mind, now it just works, Don't know how...

Despite the fact that I have it sent me to 30 seconds time off. Any ideas why?It dims but won't turn off unless I manually use the top button.
Sometimes in poor lighting Smart Stay doesn't work. Wouldn't if be more battery efficient to disable screen timeout and Smart Stay and just manually turn the screen off with the power button when done using the phone?
My theory is ideally, for battery and ease of use, would be to have this combination (assuming you are diligent about turning the screen off manually of course.)
1) Disable Smart Stay
2) Turn Auto Screen Timeout up considerably to 5 or 10 minutes. This is assuming I don't need it to stay on longer than 5 or 10 minutes but still gives you a safety net if you forget to turn it off. (This is also assuming apps like video players are smart enough to keep the screen turned on - otherwise you would have to keep waking screen if say you were watching a movie in a dark plane cabin.)
3) Turn off screen when done using phone.
What's nice is even if timeout is set high to 10 minutes if you answer a call, screen still turns off automatically when bringing phone to face.
Second method:
1) Disable Smart Stay
2) Set timeout to 15 or 30 seconds.
3) Have some sort of button press to force screen on indefinitely, or ideally you can set it for a max amount of time like 10 min, like double press of power button? Is there an app to do this?
I think first method would be most battery efficient if you remembered to turn the screen off every time, second method is 'safer' Is there an app or stock setting to achieve second methods?
Guess I should try Screebl

I'd still like an option to do a double press on the power button to force it on indefinitely.
Meh. Not liking Screebl too much for two reasons. Makes phone stay on while in my car or pocket if I forget to turn it off. But, if I am as diligent about manually powering off, it shouldn't make a diff, but, it will. Reason is, it complicates operation when you want to change a song now you have to manually turn phone off while driving after changing song. I suppose once I have bluetooth setup in my car I can have Llama disable Screeble when I have bluetooth car connection. Also don't like that there is no option to not have the notification bar icon.
In a 2 min GSAM test with phone just sitting at angle, it took 1% battery. Wonder how much Smart Stay would take. Maybe BBS will give that info?
Really still think best solution is to map double press of power button to disable screen timeout until power button is pressed again. That's all I need.
Getting closer. But unfortunately, there is no (hardware) search button on S3! Need this for long press of menu or back button?

Got it....
Screen Timeout Toggle
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chemdroid.screentimeouttoggle
Then for those using Nova Launcher
Settings > Gestures & Buttons > Long-press Menu > Apps > Screen Timeout Toggle
Now I can just long press menu button to toggle if screen is forced on or not. I'm actually having second thoughts about turning off Smart Stay though as I don't know for sure if part of the time I've been setting my phone down without pressing the power button! Guess I'll see...
Just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing a lag for the screen to turn on from a booted phone with screen off. I'm on fw 4.4.2 nuts stipped version. It can take up 8 to ten seconds for the screen to turn on sometimes other times a couple of seconds, if so has anyone found a fix for this other than wait for 233. Ps it only happens when swipe or security enabled for lock screen. With option none all works ok
I guess the tablet isn't actually powering down, it's just going into sleep mode, or whatever it's called when the screen shuts off. Anyway, is there a way to keep this from happening when the tablet is plugged into the wall charger? It isn't a major deal but it is sort of annoying when I have something large downloading or have the tablet otherwise doing something on its own, but I'm not actively using it. I like to walk by occasionally and check in on things, but will often find that the tablet has shut off. Then I have to turn it back on, swipe the screen, or login if I have security on. Anyway, it would be much nicer if it would just stay on when plugged in. I've looked through the settings and can't seem to find anything related. If it's there, I'm missing it.
Thanks.
There are different between shut off and standby (sleep mode):
1- Shut off: Your tablet is shutdown, the only way to turn it on is power button.
2- Standby: the screen is off, you just need to press power or home button to turn the screen on in 2 seconds. In order to prevent the screen turn off so quickly, you only need to change the screen timeout to 10 or 30 minutes. If it turns off by itself, your tablet has a problem.
Mine can standby a whole week and it only loses a little charge when waking up.

There is no 30 minute screen timeout on my Galaxy Tab S 10.5. The most I can set it to is 10 minutes, and that's where it's at.
Thanks anyway.

we call that a screen time out... you can activate the stay awake while charging feature in developer option... how to activate developer option.... go to setting -> about device -> and press the Build Number 7 times. you will see something like developer option activate. then find the stay awake while charging option. that's all. :victory:

Super, that's exactly what I was hoping for...
...once I get my completely screwed up tablet running again...
I'm starting another thread.
Thanks!
I have a Note 8 Global Version with MIUI 11. If my phone is locked and screen is off and I press the lock button or even scan my finger, it is taking approximately 4 to 5 seconds for the screen to be lit. A few information if it helps:
1. Let's say in lock screen the screen is supposed to be lit for 5 seconds. I press the lock button. Wait 3 seconds. Then the screen light turns on. But just after 2 seconds the screen turns off. It means the processor does read the button press immediately but somehow fails to turn the screen on immediately.
2. After the MIUI 11 update I was tinkering with the new options. And I found one old option actually - double tab lock button to start camera. I turned that on and checked how that works. That was the first time I noticed the delay of 3/4 seconds. So I thought it was related and disabled it. But still the issue persists.
Never happened to me. How much free RAM do you usually have free? Looks like the device is running slow in elaborating processes.
Do you notice other lags while normally using your phone during the day?
