Lock Screen Malfunction

[itsdarby]

So maybe someone else has come across this, but all of a sudden my lock screen doesn't just shut off after a few seconds like it used to. I had Cover Lock Screen installed at one point and I'm wondering if I gave it permissions that it didn't get rid of when I uninstalled it.

It isn't necessarily broken or anything, I just can't seem to fix it so it bugs me, plus battery life (I QA test a lot of mobile apps for a living so trust me when I say it isn't something simple). Device isn't rooted. Some help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

The "modify system settings" permission makes me wonder whether it modifies the lock screen timeout and, if so, it modifies it back to stock when the app is uninstalled.

It has permissions to turn the screen on and off, so I re-installed it just to uninstall it again. No luck. Freaking Twitter bought the company so I doubt that there will be any future updates, but I've notified them about the issue regardless.

Have you tried going into settings/mydevice/display/screen timeout and setting the value you want?
if so, try setting it to max then exiting and re-entering and changing to the value you want. i use the () setting that the Screebl app inserts and my screen goes off in 3 seconds!
Good Luck!

I ended up just setting the screen timeout to 2 minutes. Long enough to leave on when I needed, short enough that it shuts off if I get a text or something and causes the screen to turn on. Pretty bogus fix but I think life will go on. I might have to check out Screebl though, so thanks!
