My Android 10 phone is playing hard to get to use.

I 'lost' it a couple of days ago. From my Google account, I selected the Secure' option, which placed a lockscreen message, for anyone finding it.

I then found the phone, entered the regular PIN to unlock it and it allows me in. But, after a couple of minutes, the screen locks again.

Does anyone know how to reverse or overcome the Secure device option please?

I had this before, turn it off and on if still no joy, go back on via PC and hit find my phone, make it ring. It should realise you have it

Thanks! I've turned it off and restarted it a few times. I did the call my phone, stopped it ringing. Went to Play Store and verified it was me. It then locked itself again. A couple of minutes later it unlocked without me doing anything.

After restarting it, it reverts to the locked screen and message again

Pain in the arse I know but worth backing it up and factory resetting?

It's bizarre that Google gives you instructions on how to activate it but not what to do afterwards.

Have you tried going to screen lock setting, it sound like it's gone back to default at 2 or 3 secs, change it to 1 minute or whatever
