How to change the screen timeout on Xiaomi

On Xiaomi you change how long the screen stays on in Settings › Lock screen › Sleep; on some versions it is under Always-on display & Lock screen. If the screen still goes dark early, turn off battery saver; if it goes dark on calls, check the proximity sensor.

Phone works but the screen is black: what to do

If your phone rings or vibrates but the screen is black, the phone is on; the problem is the screen or its connection. Force restart and charge it first. Shine a torch close to the screen in the dark: a faint picture means a backlight fault. If it started after a drop or liquid, the screen is usually replaced.
