Screen timeout not always applied after A15 update

Hi all, after updating to A15 the phone won’t automatically lock screen after a call is being closed. E.g. ring a friend, hang up, screen does not automatically lock (currently set @30sec).

Anyone with same issue?

Welcome to the forum.

I’ve seen at least one other report of the screen not automatically turning off or locking here and I’ve also noticed this myself (screen not turning off).

It’s important to remember that “screen off” and “device lock” are two different events though they may happen at the same time. The settings that govern these events:

  • screen timeout (delay of inactivity before the screen turns off) :
    Settings > Display > Screen timeout

  • device locking (when to lock the device and require fresh authentication to use it) :
    Settings > Security and privacy > Device unlock > Screen lock settings :gear: > Lock after screen timeout

To complicate matters, I’ve also noticed that the device is locked immediately on screen timeout when charging, irrespective of the “Lock screen after timeout” value. That’s not limited to FP4.
