Android offers a ton of security settings for locking your device. You can choose a PIN number, password, or pattern lock, or even opt for the esoteric face unlock option. Using a lock is essential for keeping unsavory characters from accessing your data if you lose your device, but it can be a pain to unlock your hardware every single time the screen shuts off. Luckily, virtually all Android devices have a feature to fix that.
11 android lock timeout
Is your lockscreen timeout too aggresive? This screen provides relief.
In the Security menu of most devices (again, Samsung tucked it in the My Device menu) is an "Automatically Lock" option. Note, this item only shows up if you have some sort of screen security set up. Here you can designate the amount of time that triggers your device unlock—all the way from instantaneously to 30 minutes on some phones. A longer duration will allow you to wake your device instantly if it hasn't been asleep for long. Also, the power button can often still be used to lock instantly, if you like—that's a checkbox right under the timeout option (though not on all phones).
