Hello as the title says I have the Stay Awake feature turned on, so when plugged in the screen is not suppose to go off, well it still goes off. If I set the screen timeout time to any longer it will do that even when I am not plugged in.
Anyone know how I can really keep it to Stay Awake?
Thanks,

I am kind of in the same boat, I have read that there are apps in the market to enable this setting. Maybe one of them will work for you. One such app is screeble, another is Stay Awake.

Is it possible to stop the G1 going to screensaver when not in use, I want to leave it displaying my emails when it's on charge.
If you go into the settings there is an option to stay on when plugged in.
Settings-Application settings-Development and check Stay awake.
Hope that helps.

too bad you have to go back in and change it back when your done recharging or the screen is on all the time no?

It stays awake only while plugged in.
I use my phone to set my alarm for work and it stays on the charger at night while I am asleep.
However the alarm will not go off in the morning (it is set to go off even in Silent mode) and I was wondering if it was because the device was going to sleep at night.
I hope this resolves it for me.

Before setting the EVO to the stay awake setting above, I noticed that if the phone was in desk clock mode (accessed by clicking on the Sense clock), it would stay awake (noticed this while fiddling this morning).
Hi,
The screen on my Nexus 4 has started to stay awake. I've noticed my battery drain a lot quicker over the last couple of days and I also noticed that every time I pulled my phone out the screen was lit so I've taken it out and watched it. It just stays awake all the time. If I turn the screen off the minute a message or anything comes in the screen wakes and stays awake so near impossible to keep it off for any length of time.
I do have the developer screen enabled and had stay awake whilst charging option enabled. I disabled that to make sure that this wasn't causing the screen to stay awake thinking it was somehow on the charger when it wasn't however the problem persists even with that option unchecked.
I have the screen timeout in display set to 30 secs.
Anybody else experiencing this or no how to solve?
The phone is stock and unrooted though I plan on rooting later today.

Does it stay awake but go very dim? I have this issue too.
can it be caused by the screen protector blocking the light sensor somehow?
Can you install BBS (BetterBatteryStats) and see what's keeping your phone awake?
Sounds like a FULL_WAKE_LOCK is constantly being imposed on your phone.
Questions
Is it only when you put it for 30s?
What's around your pocket when you put your phone in it?
Do you have any attachments onto your phone? e.g. skin protectors, cases...etc
Does this occur on any screen or just your home screen and the developer options screen?
Though some questions may be obvious, the best method is to be thorough with the situation. Answering these questions will help us better help you.
My phone shut itself down about an hour ago (plenty of battery left as I had to charge it earlier and was at 50% when it did come back on). It took several minutes before it would respond to getting turned back on again. I've got 2 messages since and the screen is now tuning off as it should. I had turned the phone off a few times to see if it rectified yesterday however that didn't work.
The problems wasn't anything to do with me having it in my pocket as the problem still existed when I had it sitting on my desk. I have no screen protectors or case and I never put it in any pocket that has anything else in it as I don't want to ruin too quickly.
So not sure what's going. All seems very odd. Hopefully not a sign that the phone is on the way out but looks ok for now. Will have to watch and see what happens over the next few days.
Thanks to all who took the time to respond. Hopefully I won't need to bother you again on this issue but not convinced just yet
I've gone through all 24 pages of threads in this forum, and found nothing like this.
When I get a text message or some other message that turns the screen on, it won't turn back off. It's a pain because it wastes battery and since I charge it at night, I don't notice it and it ends up being on all night. I don't want it to burn in or anything.
Screen timeout is set to like 15 seconds, same in GOSMS. I can't figure out if there is any wakelock causing the issue or not.
Any ideas?
Settings -> My Device -> Lock Screen -> "Secured lock time"
It's different than the screen timeout. Maybe that's what's doing it. Not sure.
Edit... probably read it too fast. This is just for how long before the screen locks. Sorry
I noticed the same. I was looking for "Developer" options like I had in the HTC before the GS4, but I can't find it anywhere.
Basically on the HTC had the Developer options that allowed the screen to stay on, even when charging.
On the GS4, like the OP said, if you get any kind of notification that wakes the screen up, it will stay on when connected to the charger.
That's the thing though, is that it does it even when not connected to a charger.
I have my secure lock time set to 3 minutes, but it will do it before or after that 3 minutes. I have read on other devices forums that it is a wakelock, but I can't find anything that could be causing it.
I think I've narrowed this down. Turn off "Smart Stay". When I take off smart stay, my screen shuts off as intended, but I think if you have smart stay on, it will try and detect anything that looks like your eyes, hence staying awake.

If this is really what's doing it, I wonder if keeping your phone face-down when charging would help prevent it. Still though, that's pretty terrible if that's what's doing it. I've only noticed it 3 times in one night, in a certain location. Once I moved my phone elsewhere it stopped.

I don't even have Smart Stay on though, or any other of the fancy features that track eyes.

And mine still turns on and stays on when it is face down.
Screen Won't Sleep
This happened to me yesterday; nothing will turn off the screen.

Got a weird problem with my AT&T stock non-rooted S4. About 4 or 5 times since I got it on release day when I charge my phone and I get the notification that it's fully charged the screen won't turn back off. I use a Belkin Conserve socket that is set to shut off after 3 hours and I've woken up after charging to find the phone dead. I've managed to catch this happen once and when the fully charged notification comes on the screen won't go to sleep, it just stays on and flickers a little bit. For all but one of these instances I had blocking mode on so I'm not disturbed by email or text notifications in the middle of the night. It did happen one time when I didn't have blocking mode on. I use a pin lock for my lockscreen and usually have BeyondPod playing overnight (only one hour long podcast while it's still charging) if that makes a difference. Is the function that enables the screen to stay on when you're looking at it malfunctioning? Any help? I've attached two screenshots of battery life when this happens.

So in settings under the Developer Options, there is a setting "Stay awake" if checked screen will never sleep while charging. Now I see that your Belkin shuts off the power but your phones still detects the usb plugged into a power source.
I think things happen in this order: you hookup your phone to charge and shut off your screen, phone charges to 100% and screen lights up saying fully charged, it stays on because of that setting, Belkin kills the power, it is still hooked up to USB so ... you get the rest.
I would find that setting and disable it.
if your next question is "I don't see developers option" it is hidden by default in android 4.2.2 so to make it available, go to Settings > About phone and tap tap tap Build number seven times. Return to the previous screen to find Developer options. Or Indiana Jones might pop up and give you the cup to get eternal life !!!
Thanks for the reply Commodore64 but I already checked that setting when it happened the first time and it's not checked.

I have this problem as well as my wife's S4. around 3am, I notice our room is bright with our two phones' screens on. It will stay on until the morning.
In the developer's section of the settings, the stay on when plugged in is NOT checked.
Also, on our phones, we notice the phones overheating because the screen is on for hours at a time at night.
I've just spent an hour looking through the internet, and while many report this, they are simply being dismissed by others as in having "checked" the setting in developer section.
Also, when the batttery does get fully charged, the "Battery if full, unplug the power" notification also rings the default notification ringtone. I've installed phoneweaver to set my phone to no sound overnight, but it only stops the sound, the screen still stays on and phone gets really hot.
This is turning out to be a huge problem for us.

Do you use a PIN (number) lock? I did but switched to the pattern unlock and it hasn't happened since. Also, I've been trying to charge only during the day or evening, not overnight. Maybe, since I charge during the day and I use it periodically while it charges it doesn't go into a "deep sleep" like it would if it charges while sleeping and the full charge notification would keep it awake. I don't know exactly why but it hasn't happened since. Hope this helps.
