[Q] Lg p500 screen timeout does not work!

[amlood]

I tried to set the screen timeout to whatever interval is there, 15sec and up, none of my trials worked to get my screen to turn off and lock which is killing my battery at no time
only when i press the lock buttondoes it turn off.. but when i have the mobile in my pocket it usually press some button accidentally and that will keep the screen on :s
i searched the net to see if anybody else have had this problem but found nothing, and not even the applications on the market made this screen timeout work!! So i wonder if anyone have any idea about how such a problem could be fixed or what caused it?

when this happens to me, i just reboot my phone and screen timeout returns to work

you should replace your phone by claiming warranty for malfunction

It happns to me only when i use iphone lock or finger scanner and keep off the auto lock after booting.
just check it out or use simply lockscreen or goto.

OK, a quick test for you. Please follow these steps:
- go to Menu - Settings - Applications - Development
- check if "Stay awake" is enabled.
If it is, then that's why your phone behaves like that, because you requested it. Uncheck that option - problem solved and you should facepalm yourself for sending the phone in service over this trivial issue.
If not, then you indeed have a problem and you should demand some explanations at the service center.

actually it is already disabled by default and it is the cause of the problem. Maybe the board they replace is defective. I noticed that most of the people having the same problem as mine are those people who have new board. Ill bring this back tomorow. it sucks! i have to wait for another week!

 

[akitos]

mass storage doesnt work for me too. have to bring this back again tomorow.

i suggest u return it back immediately. I already return mine a while ago. it seems most of their replacement boards are defective. So its best to be very cautious in modding the phone if u wish not to have a defective board and save ur self the hassle of going back in forth at their center.

There is meant to be a remedy.
The replacement boards require a hard factory reset(see user manual for process) followed by a power down and battery removal then power up, once in users unit.
I am yet to test this out and will give an update next week.
