Help Phone locks automatically when clock app selected

[navkala]

Hi,

Got my Samsung galaxy ace a few days ago. Been working properly till yesterday when something strange started happening. Whenever I select the clock application, the application starts, I see my clock for a brief moment (like a second) and then the phone locks. When I unlock it, it returns to clock app and then immediately locks again! This keeps happening, not even giving me time to return to the home screen.

If I reboot the phone then it returns to the home screen and it works properly till I don't select the clock application again. Then the same story....

So basically once I select the clock application the phone will lock. Can't figure why this happens. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I'm having the same issue, whenever I have my phone plugged in (if I have any lock setting).

This is rather frustrating, because I often leave my phone plugged in, and want to change/view a clock setting. I also enjoy leaving my phone "lockable".

I had the same problem, and solved it by simply re-setting the "Screen timeout" option in display settings.
