Ok, it's not just me. I was wondering out about that too. I thought it might have been home++. I keep having to change my screen timeout constantly, I normally like my screen timeout to be at 1 minute. I wish there was a way to fix this really annoying problem
You both should check out the app Screebl Lite...it's free.
It's a great app that will leave your homescreen on while you are using it.

I use "Keep Screen". same principal as Screebl however it doesn't work off the orientation of the device... it provides you with a list of services/apps on your phone... you select which ones you want to keep the screen on for... and that's it. very simple. works great for me so far.... use it with gps nav, browsing, games.
Settings::: Screen & Display timeout
Don & Soccerburn55,
v2.0.1
Same exact problem!!! Same extreme frustration!!!
Testing done so far:::
1) Set timeout to 10 minutes, power off, power on, timeout returns to 1 minute.
----- while I understand that it resets to factory default, this is frustrating. I did *NOT* take the battery out, I did *NOT* choose this setting, I did *NOT* choose to reset it back to factory def. I set a setting, it should stick!
2) I've set it to 2 minutes
----- what i've found is that *at different intervals* it will change to either 1 minute or 15 seconds -- weird I know, but when it changes [and it always does], it doesn't always go to the same setting.
3) I've set it to 10 Minutes [as part of testing].
----- what i've found is that the setting will change to 2 minutes --- after what exact duration I haven't been able to determine. It appears to be a bit random. I left the phone alone, and 2 out of 5 times, it changed within 30 minutes, 1 time didnt change for an entire day, and the other 2, changed somewhat randomly -- after phone/app usage.
4) I've set it to 30 minutes [as part of testing]
----- much the same as above, although! -- it would change to 2 minutes or 15 seconds -- never one minute...
5) anyone have any idea on how to submit an official bug report/feature fix/request???
6) I have not uninstalled any apps...and not sure if we need to report all the apps installed etc.

Yea I normally like to keep my screen timeout at 1 minute, and before 2.0.1 came out it was fine. I set it to 1 minute and it stayed even if i powered off or took the battery out. But after 2.0.1 came out I will put the screen timeout at 1 minute and randomly it will just shut off the screen after 10 or 15 seconds. The weird thing is that when I go to settings to change it back to 1 minute there is no screen timeout setting set, there is no green dot next to any of the settings. I've tried keep screen, and that is working a little better but it is still sketch at times and it will still shut off the screen randomly. It is just plain frustrating.

HELP!!!
Just wanted to bring this issue into the foreground, to see if anybody has any insight or resolutions.
Could it be an app interfering?
This started happening the moment i walked out of the Verizon store and the only app that was not on the phone by default was Advanced task killer. So who knows....

Same issue here, no matter what I set it, always defualts back to 15 sec at some point. I have a few apps installed, but this seems to be a straight up bug...
Is there a way to permanently set the screen timeout to maximum?
Everytime I plug my Droid into a wall outlet and then disconnect and go back to battery power, screen timeout reverts back to 1 minute and I have to continually reset it bck to max.
Haven't figured out how to keep it permanently set to max.
Thanks for any help with this.

I've never tried to permanently set to Max, but I know there is an app in the market called keepscreen that will keep the screen on for any apps that you set it to. I keep screen timeoit set to the minimum in settings, but use keepscreen so that the browser and other apps never let the screen turn off until I exit out of them. Hope that helps.
