  1. This does not work for increasing the display time for the LOCK screen. I cannot find how to increase that display. Again, I want the LOCK screen to not go off after 15 seconds.

    1. Hi Rat Fink,
      Thanks for coming.
      CMIIW, do you want to increase the lock screen time out before it locked your phone? Indeed, the step above will not be able do what you want. But, you might want to try third-party app called Delayed Lock app. Seem this app can help you solve the problem. Here's the link:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.delayedlock2
      Hope this helps :)
