3 Ways to Stop Android Phone Screen From Turning Off Automatically

How many times it happened to you when you try to read something on your phone and the screen goes off? Screen timeout is the setting on your phone which automatically turns off the display in order to save the battery. Since Android phones are completely customizable this setting also has some options to choose from, and on some phones, you can even completely turn it off. So, here I am telling you the ways to stop the phone screen from turning off. Read on!

Stop Phone Screen from Turning off Completely

Table of Contents

If you want to completely turn off this setting then there is an option in the display setting. If you don’t find the option to turn it off, don’t worry we have another trick up our sleeve to tell you about.

1. Via Display Settings

1. Pull down the notification panel and tap the little setting icon to go to Settings.
2. In the Settings menu, go to the Display and look for the Screen Timeout settings.

3. Tap the Screen Timeout setting and select the duration you want to set or just select “Never” from the options.

If you won’t see the Never option in the settings but you still want to keep your device awake for longer then follow the next method.

2. Via Developer Options

1. Go to Settings > About Phone > tap on Build Number 7 times.
2. Navigate back to Settings > System > Developer Options.
3. Look for Stay Awake option and enable it.

Now while your phone is on charging, the screen will not turn off automatically unless you remove the charger. In that case, the default setting will enable which you selected in the display setting.

3. Via Third-party Apps

You can also prevent your phone screen from turning off completely using a third-party app. There are plenty of such apps available on the Play Store, and we are using “Caffeine”. Here’s how to use it:

1. Download and install Caffeine – Keep Screen On from the Play Store.

2. The app works via a toggle, so you will need to add this to the Quick Settings panel.

3. Pull down the Quick Settings panel and tap on the Pencil icon to edit it.

4. Now look for the Coffee Mug icon among all quick settings.

5. Move this “Caffeine” toggle to the Quick Settings panel by holding and dragging it.

7. When the toggle is in the main Quick Settings panel, you can use it anytime.

Whenever you want to change the screen timeout time, swipe down to open the Quick Settings, and tap the Coffee Mug icon. By default, it sets screen timeout to Infinite, but it also has a number of other customization options.

Wrapping up

This is how you can make your smartphone screen never go off while you are reading something important on it. Tell us in the comments, which of the above-mentioned ways will you use to increase screen timeout on your phone.

How to Turn Off Location Services on Your iPhone or Android

If you don’t want apps to track you, turn off location services

Smartphones leave digital tracks everywhere we go, including a record of our physical locations. The Location Services feature of your phone figures out where you are and then supplies that to your phone’s operating system or apps to deliver useful information to you (such as sharing your location with friends and family). In some cases, though, you may want to turn Location Services off.

This article explains how to turn Location Services off completely on either iPhone or Android phones, plus how to control which apps can access it.

How to Turn Off Location Services on iPhone

Disabling Location Services on the iPhone so that no apps can access your location is really simple. Just follow these steps:

Tap Settings.

Tap Privacy.

Tap Location Services.

Move the Location Services slider to off/white.

How to Control Which Apps Have Access to Location Services on iPhone

You may not ant some apps on your iPhone to have access to your location, but not others. Or you might want an app to have that access when it needs it, but not all the time. The iPhone lets you control apps’ access to your Location Services this way:

Tap Settings.

Tap Privacy.

Tap Location Services.

Tap an app whose access to Location Services you want to control.

Tap the option you want:

Never: Select this if you want the app to never know your location. Picking this may disable some location-dependent features.
While Using the App: Only let the app use your location when you’ve launched the app and are using it. This is a good way to get the benefits of Location Services without giving up too much privacy.
Always: With this, the app can always know where you are even if you’re not using the app.

How to Turn Off Location Services on Android

On a Samsung phone, you’ll need to launch Settings, then Biometrics and security, then set the Location toggle to off.

How to Control Which Apps Have Access to Location Services on Android

Android lets you control which apps have access to your Location Services. This is helpful because some apps that don’t really need your location may try to access it and you may want to stop that. Here’s what to do:

Tap Settings.

Tap Apps & notifications.

You may need to tap «See all Apps» to find your specific app.

Tap an app whose access to Location Services you want to control.

The Permissions line lists Location if this app uses your location.

Turn Safe Mode On and Off on Android (All OEMs)

Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android, all operating systems offer a diagnostic mode called Safe Mode. Very few users are aware of its presence and those who do know about probably don’t know how to boot into and get out of the Safe Mode. If you want to solve issues created by a third-party app, it can come in very handy. In case you have entered the Safe Mode willingly or by mistake, here is how you can turn it off on Android devices.

In this guide, I’ll be describing the steps to enter and exit the Safe Mode on Samsung, OnePlus, Xiaomi, Motorola, Huawei, Redmi, Realme, Vivo, Oppo, Nokia, Pixel, Huawei, Honor, LG phones and tablets. If you are a Windows user, check out the 4 methods to boot your Windows 10 PC into the Safe Mode.

What is Safe Mode?

The Safe Mode on Android is different from the Fastboot or Download Mode or the Recovery Mode. It is a diagnostic tool to help you find out misbehaving apps. The main purpose of the Safe Mode on Android is to find out whether a device problem is caused by a 3rd-party app, the OS itself, or the device hardware. When you reboot your Android phone or tablet in the Safe Mode, it boots up only with system apps. All 3rd-party apps are restricted or disabled and the Flight Mode is enabled automatically. You’ll also see the Safe Mode watermark at the bottom of the device screen.

An app or game installed on your Android phone might cause one of the problems listed below:

The phone’s battery is draining fast.
You are having connectivity issues on your device.
Something is interfering with the incoming or outgoing calls.
The device has overheating issues.
The phone’s mobile data consumption has increased.
Irritating ads are appearing on your Android device.
Your device is restarting itself.
The device freezes frequently.
Your phone runs slow.

To diagnose if a rogue app is responsible for any of the problems listed above, you can turn on the Safe Mode. By doing so, you can at least eliminate the possibility that a particular issue on your device is caused by a third-party problematic app.

How to Open Apps in Safe Mode on Android

Android is a highly versatile mobile operating system. Due to the diversity in various Android devices and OS versions, app developers have to write extra bits of code to make the app compatible with a wide range of chipsets and OS versions. Due to this fragmentation problem, some apps might act weird on some devices or OS versions. However, the worst thing is that you can’t distinguish whether the issue is from an app or it is system-related. It’s in such situations, that the Safe Mode feature on Android can help you. All downloaded apps on your Android device are disabled by default in the Safe Mode.

Now, the question is how can we determine which app or apps might be creating problems on your device? You can consider the following things to find out the culprit.

Try to recall which were was the last apps you installed on your device before you started having problems.
If you recently downloaded and installed an app and it sent your device in a boot loop, you can delete it to solve the issue.
Some apps automatically start as soon as your phone boots up. Such apps might create issues. Custom clock and weather widget apps, home launcher apps come in this category.
If you have installed too many apps on your phone, there may be many you don’t use at all. You should uninstall all such useless apps.

Once your Android device has entered the Safe Mode, go to Settings > Apps > All Apps and uninstall the apps or games that you think might be causing the problem. In most cases, it is some recently installed app that causes problems. Try uninstalling apps one by one and restart your phone after each installation to check if the problem you were having has been fixed.
