Adjusting Screen Timeout on my Samsung Phone

Screen Timeout is an important setting on Samsung devices that helps save battery life by turning off the screen after a certain amount of time. By default, this time is set to 30 seconds. To change the Screen Timeout length and keep your device's screen on for longer, follow these instructions:

• Go to your device's Settings menu.
• Navigate to the Display section.
• Select the Screen timeout option.
• Choose your desired Screen timeout length. Note that the maximum allowed time is 10 minutes.
