Galaxy S24 Series

I keep my boxes too. I think that because I traded in my Note 8 in it's original container, that is why I got full value for the trade in. ☺

No idea about the site. It's been kind of quiet around here, but hopefully someone smarter than I (pretty much everyone else) will chime in soon.

I don't mind using the app but all the stuff below the forums is way too much for me.

Ok guys, I'm coming up with an issue that I can't figure out. The S24+ keeps reverting back to a screen time out of 20 seconds. I usually have it set for either 1 or 2 minutes.
What's happening here?

Do you have LockStar or any other Good Lock modules installed that may be overriding your general settings?

 

[PitCarver]

Nothing.

I don't know... maybe it's an app. You could try restarting it in Safe Mode (which only runs the OS and system apps... if the problem resolves, it's something you've installed. Did it start recently; and what apps have you installed since just before this began?

I just got it last week, Chief.
I've Googled the problem and have seen it discussed with other Samsung devices.

Trouble is the options given were for older versions of Android and the settings to resolve it have changed.

gonna wait a bit longer and see what the next foldable will look like. i can't go back to a tiny screen ever again.....LOL

Interesting. I just saw this after asking you the question of what will you do going forward with respect to foldables.

I spent a couple hours on the Samsung help chat the other night. After all that time the final suggestion was to take it in to a Samsung store and have a tech look at it.

Found my own external solution to the timeout issue...I installed the Caffeine app which, so far, has kept it on.

User on the Samsung Members app helped with the adaptive brightness issue.

June Security Patch AXE4 is ready for installation!

Everyone has their preferences. I had the Z Fold 3 and 4, but they were just too thick for some of the proprietary phone mounts I use. Plus: that crease! I switched to the S2x Ultra and haven't looked back. The ease of use and onboard S Pen (which I use all day, every day) just seal the deal for me. Yes, foldables have incredible screen real estate if you watch a lot of video or play games... neither of which I do. So freedom of choice is an awesome thing!
