Galaxy S5 :: Display Timeout Keeps Getting Changed
May 25, 2015
My new S5 keeps getting its display time out value reset to a value of "()", there is no numeric value between the parenthesis. I switch it back to 15 or 30 and seemingly randomly it gets changed. It happened just now after plugging it in to a charger.
Is there some way to see what changes it? Its getting super annoying, happens 2-3 times a day. I run very few apps... and most of those I ran on my old thunderbolt with no issues. Several I also run on my wifes new S5 but she has no problem with hers.

I got this phone for a relative and it arrived today. After setting it up, transferring contacts over and making it easy for her I'm stuck on this simple option. I've looked for over 30 minutes and searched all over using various keywords but I can't find a single answer. Where do you find the display timeout setting on this phone?! It defaults to something stupidly short like 10 seconds when it should be around 30 seconds at least. How fast do they think people read text messages? If I can't change this setting I don't think they'll want to keep the phone which is a shame as it looks quite nice in general.

Intermittenly the display screen timeout resets to NEVER. Nothing that I do (or at least so I think) causes this. I don't know it until I notice that the battery is dangereously low. Don't have any apps that may cause this that I know of.
Used to have a similiar situation with the Original Droid where it would reset to 30 seconds.
Does this happen to anyone else and if so how did you get around it? Or is it yet another bug in the operating system? Happened pre-GB also. Doesn't seem to be more or less frequent with GB.

Any way to decouple the display timeout from the screen lock? In other words, when the display times out after 30 secs., I would like to just touch the display to wake it up rather than going through the 2 step process of unlocking the screen.

When I listen to livestreaming radio with RealPlayer the screen it is not going back to operational working after the display timeout. You neet to exit RealPlayer and open it again to continue. Firmwareversion 31.0.101. This must be a bug.

I got my BB curve back in December from Orange and loved it. To cut a long story short there was technical problem which meant Orange replaced it. However the new replacement has a slighlty different theme than the previous one.It seems to have some different icons and highlights then in blue when you scroll over them. The text messages are also displayed dfferently.

My bbm picture will not change. When I go to change my picture it will allow me to choose one and save it, yet on my friend's phones my picture has not changed. I have no problem seeing other people pictures or updated pictures.

My background display for my iphone5 has changed (without me doing anything). This is the display which appears in the background when running all apps, not the wallpaper or home screen. Why this happened and how to change it?

iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.2

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 and when ever I make a call my screen doesn't automatically timeout when I put it up next to my face. It used to do it before and now it doesn't work. I looked at the settings in the phone and there is nothing...

How do you increase the timeout on the lock screen? My girlfriend got a new S6 and I also have one and we are using a pin number but screen goes dark very fast, before we can put the pin number in.

Upgraded from S3 to S5. I am very happy with S5 overall and have everything customized as I want except one issue. I cannot figure out how to get the lock screen to stop from turning off after 1 or 1..5 seconds. I hardly have time to use the fingerprint scanner because the screen turns off so quickly. I have tried turning off all power settings and have changed the timeouts everywhere else to 6 seconds to 1 minute but I cannot figure out how to extend the lockscreen timeout.

Yesterday was my first day with my new S6 and still assessing either to keep or not cause of the battery concerns. But today seems to be better with some adjustments...but still fiddling around.
But last night I left it charging over night and noticed this morning the phone was pretty hot and the wallpaper changed by itself. I wasn't using the OEM quick charger but my older regular charger. Any comments?
Also...if I have weak 4G signal and connected to a wifi...is it better to turn off the "Mobile Data" which turns the 4G off too?

I was deleting some apps on my phone this morning (don't remember which ones) and I must have deleted one I needed because since then all of screens are not set up the way I set them up. It kept/keep asking me to use Touch Wiz Easy Home when I press the home button.All the widgets are bigger and all my apps are in the additional area. How do I get my screens back? I am in the process of backing everything up in case I do any type of reset.How do I back up my text messages outside of screen shots and emailing them to myself?

Any way to change the resolution of the S6 from QHD down to 1080p. I've found the Nomone Resolution Changer, but I was wondering if there was a more trustworthy way about getting the resolution to get to 1080p.

I just purchased my first ever samsung phone the other day and I notice the text message notification icon looks 100% identical to the email notification icon. This is extremely annoying to me, can that be changed? I'd prefer to be able to tell those apart when glancing at notifications.
edit: using nova launcher atm but can't seem to find a setting to change this in nova or touchwiz.

I have a flashed a rom that I think did not work for my model ( Now my phone says model number is SM-G925K) and I have no more signal. I believe the model number is the issue, but I'm not sure..
t was supposed to be a SM-G920W8.
How I can reverse it back?
This is the rom that I tried to install : [URL] ...

So I woke up this morning and noticed the Google search widget had changed itself from a smoke colored transparent look to a solid white look. I've done nothing that would alter this and I don't even think it can be changed by the user.Did it update itself and this is part of the update?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 and I changed the font in the system settings. When I first opened the Facebook app it showed the correct font I chose but then once I closed out and went in a second time the font is the normal font. Everything else on my phone shows the "Rosemary" font except Facebook. I called Samsung and they told me it had to be an issue with Facebook but yet 5 of my friends that have an S5 don't have any problems!

I somehow managed to change my screenlock password, it used to be a four-digit code.I had the phone in my pocket for a while and after that I can't get in.s there anything I can do besides reseting to factory settings? If I connect the phone to my computer I can't reach any data on the phone so I can't save pictures and stuff like that so I'm not very keen on reseting the whole thing. read somewhere that I might be able to use my gmail-account but I don't have that option. When I type in the wrong password five times it just says I have to wait for 30 seconds. Over and over again..

Somehow my phone changed the date of my taken pictures and whatsapp pictures saved on the SDcard. I dont know why or how that happened.
See the picture below/attached.
What is the best way to correct the dates? It would take a lot of time to change every single picture since there are around 150 pictures to be changed individually. Is this maybe a mistake of the media cache??

For a week now my s5 automatically changes wireless network settings to the following :
proxy manual

I have never fiddled with these settings and confused as to why the phone would change these?

The charger port was having problems and wasn't charging, so I changed the charger flex following online instructions. I am 99% sure I did it correctly as it all works now, but the Galaxy S2 won't recognise my ThreeUK Sim anymore. It recognises others such as orange and t-mobile (It's Unlocked with Root). I put the old charger flex cable back in and it's working with my ThreeUK sim but it won't charge again so I want to know, does the charger flex cable change what sim cards it can read etc? I don't want to order cable to fix my phone before I know what to look for in it in case that has the same problems as the one I've ordered.

I recently installed Blackberry Protect on my Curve. Prior to install, my phone never locked and required a password at backlight timeout. Now the phone locks and requires me to input a password to use the phone. I would like to remove this locking requirement without removing Blackberry protect.

When I merge my contacts across multiple account (e.g. Google, LinkIn, Facebook) I notice the contact display name sometimes show Facebook name, sometimes shows Google Name.
I know I can change them individually under edit contact. But I have few hundreds of contact. And I dowant to scan through each of them.
Is there a smarter way to do it? Example like set default across all contact?

Does the S6 Gallery app allow you to share/view your pics and videos on your DNLA TVs? I have a Sony TV with DNLA and I can currently share using the "screen" button at the top of the image/vid.
Not even sure if this is a Lollipop feature or a Samsung Gallery app thing. Assumed the latter as Quickpic doesn't allow this.
