Screen time out resetting

[userkewd7Xziao]

This issue started 2 days ago randomly. No new app were added to my phone.  The screen timeout feature keeps resetting itself to 1 second. Every time I change it to 1 minute and not 5 seconds later it is back to turning off and reset to 1 second.

Are you using LockStar from the Good Lock App? If yes, check your default setting. Go to LockStar, tap open > tap open lockscreen timeout.

Hello, welcome to the Community, and I am sorry to hear your device is having such a low screen timeout time. Have you tried wiping your device's cache partition? Following these steps can help: 
- Power off your device.
 - While the device is powered off, simultaneously press and hold the power and volume up buttons. 
 - Once the Samsung logo appears, release both buttons. Your device should boot into recovery mode. 
 
 Using the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select: 
 
 - Navigate to "wipe cache partition" and press power. 
 - Select yes to confirm. 
 - Navigate down to "Repair apps" and press power. 

If clearing the device's cache did not help, the behavior could be the result of a third-party application. You can check with Safe Mode, which this guide will walk you through: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00062983/

If Safe Mode has the same behavior occuring, then it may be time to try a factory reset. You can follow the steps in this guide, and back up everything you wish to keep: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00062029/

You can also submit an error report via the Samsung Members app, should the factory reset not improve screen timeout behavior (https://www.samsung.com/ae/support/mobile-devices/raising-an-error-report-via-samsung-members-app/). If the troubleshooting isn't helpful, the phone will need to be evaluated by a certified technician.
