Disable screen turning off - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Like the title says, how can I disable the feature that the screen turns off after a set period of time? I'm using Cm 7.1.0.1 and when I watch a football game on my phone I have to tap the screen every now and then to prevent the screen turning off, it's really annoying.
Thanks in advance

Go to your lock screen settings (in security settings) and change it to none.

I can't find it. Do you mean disabeling my lock so that i dont have to enter my unlock pattern yet?

Slight bump

App. Screen on works like a charm. I've never seen a setting that keeps your screen on,only a setting that stops the screen turning off whilst on charge,but will still go into dim mode. Settings/applications/development/stay awake.
it made sense in my head !!!

Settings/display/screen timeout/never turn off

[Q] Unlock screen

Is there a way to increase the sleep time on the lock screen? It goes black in like 5 seconds. Also is there a way to add app to the circle or modify them? I can't find it anywhere.
yes there is. Settings and display.

Uh, ya, no it doesn't. It sets the screen timeout of the main screens, not the lock screen. I have that set to 1 minute, but the lock screen blacks out in 5-10 seconds.
Didn't notice a stock option for this.
Oh that. Screen and security.

not sleeping as in the cpu is not in deep sleep or the screen remains unlocked? If the screen remains unlocked then check your screen time out settings. if the cpu is not in deep sleep then it may be a kernel issue(didn't repacked when you're supposed to).
Thanks and double thanks....
Saved me from resetting...
My 1 yr kid reached the quicksettings when i was in sleep mode

I'm not sure whether the apps can do it or not, but you can check some parental control apps to see whether you can disable your kids from changing the settings so that things like these won't happen again

Screen stays on ALL NIGHT

I dont know if anyone is facing the same problem I have now, my n2 screen wont turn off by itself. I have set the timer on 15secs, smart stay disable. It juz wont turn off when idle. And if its fully charged, it will stay up all night as well.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Does it relate to my Omega rom or Redpill kernel?
Thanks
Do you have motion on?
Reboot?

experienced this after upgrading to 4.1.2 weeks ago. backed up everything, complete-wipe then reflashed my rom(always on stock). no more issues. must have been a hiccup.

I had this even when I was on 4.1.1. Thought the upgrade would solve it for me but it didn't. Tough luck. Still searching for 3rd party apps that could give me a permanent solution.

i noticed this problem sometimes with 4.1.1 but not with 4.1.2
I dun have a fix to this problem but I have a tasker profile that turns the screen off when battery is fully charged. You might want to try that as an interim.
What is your screen time out once mine was changed automatically check that
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
There's a button on the side for that
Just kidding, that's very strange. I noticed if you reboot the phone and don't touch it, when it comes on the screen never turns off either. Doesn't matter if it's plugged in or not.

I dunno if I'll be able to use tasker. I've not rooted my phone I'm still a noob and dunno if I can pull all that off on my own ^_^

I had that problem when using smart stay and smart rotation settings turned on in display settings. After I turned them off the screen shut off after 30 seconds as it should every time.

Yes I noticed when 'smart stay' is turned on it causes the screen to stay on all the time. It's not a perfect feature. So I've turned it off
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda app-developers app
do you have the power option to stay on whilst charging?
It's not smart stay, not the screen rotate with your head thingy nor the developer option that keeps the screen on while the device is being charged. I turned all that off. This is clearly a big that I've had from 4.1.1. Can't get rid of it. Annoyance at its peak.

Weird. That is annoying.

Are you saying that the screen just won't turn off, or that it turns itself on and then won't turn off?
If it's the first, my guess is an app which prevents the screen from turning off, didn't release its lock after being shut down. This can happen with some games, I've seen it with angry birds and jetpack joyride, titanium backup has done it too. Try to empty ram and kill processes, and/or reboot, though I would guess you might have tried that already.

If doesn't turn on on its own. When the bug kicks in, the screen doesn't go off if it's manually turned on or If a missed call or message is left unattended. Hope you got that. But yes, I can turn off the screen manually but doing that every time is ridiculously annoying. The bad thing is I cannot know if the bug is active or not without actually watching my screen till the timeout. Annoying bug! I've tried various things and I do not know what's causing this. I'm on stock rom, never rooted.

How to turn off screen without sleep on

I am wondering if I turn off my screen is there any way to prevent it from going to sleep if I mod htc v? I am using my htc one as a dedicated webcam and is using an app called ip webcam. It does have features that can prevent it from going to sleep but it lags whe. The screen is off.
Plug it in and have the dev settings to never turn off screen while plugged in. And turn brightness way down. Hope this helped

Already done that but when screen is turned off the processor is slowed down therefore the video is slowed down.
Use Screen Standby

There is an App called Screen Standby. It will solve your purpose.

Stop auto screen wake?

Can't seem to figure it out. Sometimes when I pick up the phone the screen automatically turns on to a black screen with htc lock screen widget (not the one wen you manually wake the phone) and it bothers me. Where can I go to to disable this?
Thanks
