hey guys

i've read people having problems with the phone not coming out of sleep mode... but heres a new one, my phone isnt going into sleep!

i can manually push the power button and turn off the screen, but if i forget, it will just stay dim and drain my battery.

whats wrong?

could it be the overclock app im running? i've never experienced this before... i just noticed it today.

i have weather updates disabled, and gps location, if anyones wondering!

thanks!

got to settings and go to the battery icon, and change the back light settings

Do you have it set to turn off device after a length of time in backlight/power settings? Are you using a screen lock app that could be overiding those settings? You may have to reset your settings in your locking app. Have you installed something recently that may have disabled the sleep function?
