Xperia 5 screen goes off after a few seconds?

[Chiss58]

Can someone tell me how to stop the screen going black after a few seconds. Don't have time to read , write or find anything before it goes black.

I have the same problem. During reading, scrolling or active writing, the screen goes back to the start screen!! Sometimesy the inputs are deleted. I turned off all possible settings. Nothing helps. For writing this post, the app cloded 5 times!! Also writing mails (moved to prewriting folder)... Its horrible to use. Pls fix this bug fast!

Go to settings - Display settings and toggle smart backlight control. This should fix the problem...

Also if you are using a screen protector, make sure it is not covering the sensors near the earpiece
