Whilst digging into the device settings, I discovered that the "screen lock" was set to 10 minutes. I don't remember setting that.
When I set it back to 30 sec, it seemed to correct the behaviour. Although I recall the device remaining active for longer than 10 minutes. I consider this "bug" to be solved. However, it raises a new issue: "screen lock" and "screen dim/blank" are very different things I would say that the screen turning off is a batter/power issue, whereas the screen "locking" is a privacy issue. Currently, both things are contained in one action and listed under "privacy". Ideally, they would be separate things under two different areas in the settings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1598597 Title: Screen does not turn off automatically Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Mako Rc-propsed R477 After leaving the device idle for any time the screen does not turn off or blank automatically.
