Hey guys, so i have a question regarding my S3 display going off when i am in applications...
So i was driving the other day with my S3 in my car mount and looking for an andress using google maps and i used the directions to get there...
But, while i was driving it got locked and went into standby all the time..
I know i set the Screen timeout to 2 minutes but i tought that is only for lockout when i am at home screen not while i am in application..
Is there a way to not go into standby while i am driving and using google maps and i dont touch the touchscreen every 2 or maks 1 minutes in screen timeout?
thanks in advance
I just use an App called "Screen timeout toggle" and you can set screen to never go off or after a certain time.

I like my screen to always be on when I am charging the phone, mostly becuase I drive a lot and it sucks to have the screen go off when you are using google maps. I seem that I have to keep changing the "screen always on" in the developer mode section in settings. Has anyone else been able to make this change stick?
I definitely had that option checked when I set up my phone after flashing beans v3 but when I went to check just now it was not selected. I guess I have the issue too, apparently.
Update: I just restated my phone and the option is unchecked again. Definitely not sticking after reboot for some reason.

I use the app *My Settings Pro* to set the screen to never time out whenever I have the phone docked in my truck.
It stays on until I set the screen timeout to 30 seconds & put it in my pocket.
There is a free app in the market called "Screen On"
It allows you to set the screen to stay "Always On" by a per app basis
So for example you can only select Google Maps and the only time the screen will stay on is when you are in Google Maps, etc..
My phone has been doing this since day one after reboot stay awake is unchecked I just use tasker now.

It mildly annoying. I like the screen on when its charging so I can just glance for notifications without touching it, or in the car mount. I guess I can just use my NFC tags for now.
Just a suggestion, but you guys may want to be careful how long you keep your screen lit while charging.
I had my old G3 set to never go out while charging (it was on all night at times) and now it shows some nasty screen burn-in on any white screen (like the gmail background).
Any time it is on a white BG, you can clearly see a gost image of the home screen and the clock widget/icons etc.etc.
I have a similar issue. I set the checkbox to always on when connected via USB directly after setting up the phone for the first time and now it's always on is re-on when deselect it and go to the settings again afterwards.
Could it be some side effect / conflict caused by some powerful apps like "NFC task launcher" or something like that who can change settings as well as the settings dialogues?
I have hunted and hunted, but can't figure this one out. On my Note 2 I could go to the stock Samsung calendar settings and turn off "Notifications While the Screen Is Off." However, on the S4 I do not see the option to turn these notifications off. I have tried different roms, etc.
I need to keep notifications on so that they sit in my notification bar when I turn the screen on (so, I can't completely turn off notifications). However, I don't want my screen turning on every 15 minutes that I have an appointment (this drains the battery pretty quick).
Anyone know what I'm talking about or what to do about it? By the way, I would go with the stock Google calendar, but like Samsung's much more.
Thanks in advance for any help.
One more try ... anyone have any suggestions? Thanks a lot.

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same problem. I get the notification, but it keeps the screen on until I acknowledge. I don't usually notice until my pocket gets really warm, then I realize the screen's been on the whole time.
Hi guys,
I have this annoying occurrence sometimes, my display just turn on, and its on for 2 min, which is my display sleep setting.
First of all, how can i find what can cause that??
And second question -- why it is on for 2 min?? I am using internal screen lock // cyanogenmod 10,1.... I know from my earlier use from other lock / ROM that it will turn off in about several second if I dont unlock phone...
Thanks for answers, really appreciate it...
Something's obviously triggering the screen when it's meant to be sleeping, get/install BetterBatteryStats & let it run for a bit, next time it happens have a look @ the BBS logs & see if you can track it down that way.
I used to have that issue (or at least the same result), I found it was actually a clock widget waking my phone up once every hour, on the hour. Why it turned my screen on I'll never know. Uninstalled and no issues since. So look for something similar in you case, MistahBungle has given you a good way to do that.
So I've got an app that I need to run overnight constantly but after every few hours say 3 it would lock out on me if it thinks I'm not active.
so I need something that constantly taps the screen il put my phone below it before bed with the app open and let it tap all night
Any ideas?
heys guys, i recently downloaded a calendar app that wakes my screen up when an event gets notified, fact is it just wakes up for like 2 secs.
in the calendar app settings you can decide how much time it has to stay awake, but it doesn't work at all. even if i set it up to stay awake for 30 secs, my screen gets back to sleep in like 2 secs, i tried to change every possible setting (display stuff, battery stuff etc) but i can't find a solution to it.
any idea pls? thanks
