Hi Fairphoners, in the display settings, it’s possible to select a sleep timeout between 15 seconds and 30 minutes. However, setting it to anything above 30 seconds is ignored. Whatever timeout I select, the display will always fade black after 30 seconds. If I select a sleep timeout of 15 seconds,…

I have had the same issue (display timeout is max 30sec, any higher value has no effect) with a freshly installed FP Open OS and I was able to fix it (took me some time to dive into that … bug?). What happes is that the setting “screen_off_timeout” (thats the variable you can modify using android s…

[image] Trust: I’d really like to have a 1.4.2 update file, installable via adb http://storage.googleapis.com/fairphone-updates/FP2-gms56-1.4.2-img.zip For flashing with fastboot. ( Install option 4 ) [Note (just to make sure): This will obviously wipe your data)

Thanks! Is there a reason I should prefer fastboot? Why not simply via adb sideload <file>? EDIT: Oh, so this is not an update, but the whole OS and I need root, right? Thing is, root is the only thing I am not allowed to do on my device since it’s technically owned by the company I work for. I j…

I’m on FP Open OS since the beginning, and I have -1 in sleep_timeout…

Interessant. I came from the original Fairphone OS Version 1.5.1. Via the fastboot-way I installed Fairphone Open OS 16.07.1 (by wiping all data etc.). After that I reinstalled a backup of all apps (not system!) I made with adb. The system itself was completely factory reset. Maybe Fairphone Open O…

Regarding the naming: I thing people say “Fairphone OpenSource OS” because at http://code.fairphone.com/ the terminus “Open Source” is part of every second line. :wink:

I did it with your given shell and root command line. Crossing fingers without thinking about risks that you decently mentioned. Your wonderful explaination made me try it and I was rewarded with functional display sleep time. First I thought this bug should be better corrected by another FP release…

Cannot confirm this behaviour. I’m on Open OS 16.07 (updated from clean installed 16.06) and rooted of course.

I confirm the bug. I installed the 16.07 update with fastboot and -w option (to erase userdata and cache) as explained here (method 2) and the sleep_timeout property had a value of 30000. I upgraded to 16.07 from a Fairphone OS release compiled from source in February 2016 using this docker enviro…

The code suggested in post 11 by Wico worked for me as well. Thank you @Wico !

[SOLVED] Display sleep timeout is limited to 30 seconds

Help Fairphone 2

It was called FP Open Source OS earlier and many people referred to it as FPOSOS, until someone got the idea, it would be important to rename name it. Now officially it is called FP Open OS.
