Have you checked in Settings - Display to see what the time out is set for? I think default is 30 seconds.
There is another spot to check for the timeout....settings/Accessibility/Dexterity and Interaction/screen timeout.
As far as the ads popping up, that is probably from an app you downloaded which allows popup ads.
Ok Mike, Thank u. Would u happen to know how I can find that/those apps on my phone so I can delete them?
Try starting in Safe Mode. That will disable any third party apps and see if still acting up. This is for TMobile version but all should be the same.

Who is your carrier (looking to see what the issue could be )I went to my Settings then General but my Accessibility but I didn't have it turn on
So what now?

Did the screen time out about the same in Safe Mode or did it last to what you have set?
Yes the screen did time out as little 1 sec. Too many of those ads. I thought when I was in the Safe Mode & deleted the apps I thought may have had most if the ads, but they're still coming up..
That was my next thought too....some app that is controlling the screen timeout, overriding whatever he sets it to.Anything set as Device Admin have a lot of unneeded permissions?
If not able to narrow it down, as a last resort, factory reset. Backup anything you don't want to lose first.
Do you have Developer Options enabled to check Running Services?
If so, check to see any 3rd party apps that are running that you can disable.
This also may help find the culprit for your ads
Not sure about adds on screen, trying to figure out screen time out. Do you have any battery saver apps or power saving mode on under Battery? View attachment 135007
