Any way to keep screen always on for some apps?

Now on ICS, my screen turns off while driving on every app other than Navigation or Vlingo. Any way to keep the screen on while charging or running specific apps like Maps or Music?
Thanks in advance...

Before you use them go to settings and change your screen timeout. Under settings you can also change it so your screen stays on while charging. Other then that check the settings for the app. I know Pandora has a setting to keep the screen on or let it auto dim.

Where is this option in settings? Used to be there in GB, cannot find it in ICS.

Download Screen On from the market. That's what I use to keep my screen on while charging. You can set it to stay on for whatever app you want.

Several options...Screebl, Screen On, and my favorite...Tasker
Funny you ask this question. I've been struggling to keep my phone awake when on a phone call via bluetooth. I work out of my home office and use my phone with a bluetooth care speakerphone. Unfortunately the usual timeout settings don't work when in a phone call, so I couldn't simply set my screen timeout for, say 1 hour, and keep it on during a call. It would still turn off in both stock OS and CM9, which I'm currently running.
Yesterday I figured this out. I now use Tasker with the Secure Setting plugin. Secure Settings has a setting for "Wake Device" and I use the options of "Screen Bright" for Wake Type and "Manual - On" for Duration. When the call ends, I have an exit task for "Wake Device" with options of "Screen Bright" (not sure it matters) and "Manual - Off". Works very well.
But for other apps (that don't overide the system timeout settings), I simply have a Tasker profile that sets my timeout settings to 10 minutes. Could set it longer, but that's sufficient for me.
If you have Tasker, I recommend using it for this purpose...one less app needed. However, I've read good things about Screebl and Screen On, so both are worth a look.
btw -- be careful in leaving your screen on. The Amoled screens suffer from burn-in.

Just a word of advice you shouldn't leave the screen on for amoled devices. I have had this phone for about 6 months and my notification bar is slightly burned it but not to annoying since its always there. However my ex girlfriends samsung fascinate had icons burned on the screen. You could always see them. That was pretty annoying.

Another vote for Screen On. I've been using it for a while with great results.

[Q] Does your WiFi go to sleep while screen is off?

Hey,
I've noticed no matter what settings I use for the WiFi sleep policy, it remains on and drains a bucket load of juice.
Any observations?
P.S. my bad, if there's a thread already. couldn't find it

Actually i am super glad. I like to still receive emails, new alerts, sport scores etc when phone is sleep. I would of returned the phone in a heart beat if I didnt have a data connection in sleep mode.

What setting you use.
In wi-fi,there is advance option where you can define sleep policy.

Hello,
You can adjust the WIfi option with *#0011# code on dialpad.
When entering ServiceMode, press the Menu button and select "WIFI".
Check if your WIFI Power Save Mode is turned On or Off.
Hope this help. :silly:

[Q] Web Browser Dim

Hi!. I upgraded to 4.04 and now I can't access the browser's brightness settings. I used to be able to adjust settings before the upgrade. It is very annpying to browse the web with these settings. Please let me know how to override this. Thank you a lll in advance

Check if you have "Power Saving" on in your notification. If it's on you can turn it off, or go into the power saving menu under settings and turn off just the browser dim settings.

Please, help me!
I am updating my ROM (CM10) yesterday and the home, menu, back and search button don't light.
Why is this?
Sent from my Wildfire S A510e using xda app-developers app

check whether it is working on recovery..... If working the try reflashing the rom....

you nees to enable auto brightness for that... the keys wont light if u manually set the brightness

Thank you for your information.
First, I am wiping all phone and update ROM. Starting the keys are light, after the screen off the keys off too.
When I on the screen the keys don't light. If the brightness is automatically, if manually...

AFAIK the lights are "off ROM territory", they turn on when the room is dark and the screen brightness intensifies & vice versa

Ok, I look when I go out lunch, because I am working and the phone there is no with me.

So....the keys doesn't working...just I set manually brightness, but if I turn off screen and turn on it doesn't working again.

Wireless Shuts off While Sleep - Causes Issue with Tasker

I have a tasker setting that says when connected to wirelsss ssid @ work is disabled volumes.
However every now and then when in sleep mode I will here it turn volume back on as it disconnects from wireless in sleep mode. When I turn screen on it connects backup and puts vibrate back on.
I looked in the network settings for wireless and it is set to Always be on. So I am not sure what else could be the issue. Anyone have any ideas?

I think I may have found the fix.

I'll let everyone know.
Okay if you are having WiFi issues and it disconnect every 3-4 min here is the fix
Go to phone
On the keypad dial *#0011#
Automatically should go onto a screen
Press menu
Go WiFi
There should be a button there saying WiFi saving and it should be ON turn it OFF
And then reboot
Done
Make sure you leave a thanks if I helped
And I would love to know if this helped

That did not fix it. I heard phone beep that it was coming out of vibrate mode.
So I turned screen on and it went back to vibrate mode. Like the wireless went to sleep again but I didn't catch it as activating on the screen this time. It may have im just not sure.

Settings> wifi> menu button> advanced> keep wifi on during sleep
Make sure always is selected
