Help screen timeout

[325i]

On my desire the screen does not timeout. I have set it to 15 seconds but the screen always stays on. Anyone know why?

First solution: Try turning the phone off and on.

Tried the same thing once, that solved it.

That writing is based on statistics.

This happens quite frequently to me if BBC iPlayer hangs .... even if I exit the app. It has clearly overridden the screen time out but fails to release it on exit

Force close on iPlayer always sorts it.

Hi, I just have identified MoboPlayer for doing the same. It happens with big sized video files only, though. 113MB video file opened, played for a few minutes, then MoboPlayer closed (I thought). Screen timeout stops working. MoboPlayer force closed --> screen timeout is working fine again, not even a reboot is required.

Thanks for the hint, djdoo and nickkr.
