Android Keep awake is a setting which ensures that the screen of your device never switches off. Screen timeout is deactivated, as long as the device is charging.
Note: This feature is also known as stay awake or screen timeout.
The Keep awake setting is a great option when:
- Running Android on an industrial device
- Running a kiosk
- Operating a point-of-sale device
- And many other applications
Turn on the Keep awake option:
- Open the App Drawer on your Android device running emteria.OS.
- Open the Emteria Settings application.
- Navigate to Appearance options and toggle Keep awake to activate it.
Note that:
- The Keep awake option drains more energy.
- The device does not lock itself when put down, therefore it might be less secure if left alone without proper safety measures.
