Default [Q] Screen Auto-shutoff timing?

I'm sure this is in a basic FAQ or something... but I ask anyway.

Is there some way to get the screen to NOT go black after what seems like 3 seconds? I want the screen to remain lit basically until I tell it to go off with a power button push.

Is there a way to increase the timeout while the phone is dialing and connecting? The phone goes black before the 4th ring and you have to hit the power button if you want to end the call.

Actually, if u have Widgetlocker you can set the timeout for your lockscreen. Mines set to turn off after 1 minute.

My issue is that regardless of what interval I set my screen timeout to, it somehow always defaults back to 30 seconds. I'm not sure if it happens after the lockscreen comes up or what, but the setting never seems to actually stick. I'm using Widget Locker (set to 1 minute), and have that set to override the system setting (set to 1 minute as well), and nothing seems to work.

Any ideas on how I can get my settings to stick? Has anyone even heard of such a thing happening?
