Am using the 'screen timeout toggle' now and it works. If I forget to toggle it on the widget, it'll dim after a few secs regardless. Too many nanny deals on this phone! Had to figure out something to stop the audio nanny from lowering the volume and telling me 'max volume is dangerous to your hearing,turning it down' whatever nonsense. This phone's got issues and I'm getting more and more tempted to sell it, trade it whatever. Volume goes up and down randomly using Google Play music, these issues, camera with its stupid 'processing' nonsense and yea I know turn off stability but you shouldn't HAVE to! And now I'm finding the Mute function likes to turn itself off at inopportune times like in church and also worse yet is the thing has three times now not kept time properly! Going to work with it up on the windshield listening to music and notice the time....hmm, is that moving? Can't be! Look down at the cars time readout and it's nearly 20 mins faster! If I knew of a better phone right now, I'd get rid of this POS!
