I've been using Samsung phones for over 10 years but I'm calling a permanent timeout on them and changing companies because they're playing God to such an extreme degree that they have reduced screen timeout to 10 minutes - taking away consumer freedom to choose what they need. Plenty of more significant complaints but this is the last straw. No, actually, this is a significant issue. Maybe I could sue them down the track for the fallout from their dictatorial attitude. I know you can have the screen stay on if you're looking at it, but that doesn't fit many situations. Goodbye and good riddance.

PS Very happy to add I could perhaps sue one day for consequences of them frequently turning off my security software. I'm not turning it off, and it's certainly not in the security company's interests to do so, so one can only assume Samsung is putting me at high risk on a systematic basis.

      To extend timeout check Play Store apps, perhaps "Keep Screen On"? A Google search might also give a solution to your security turn off problem or give better security tools e.g. Google "best android security apps" - I haven't done this search.

      Oh, thanks Troubadour! I'll give those a go.

      EDIT: I found a very easy-to-use app for the time-out. Thanks for suggesting it. It didn't occur to me that there'd be such a thing. Cheers.
