[Q] Screen on when being charged/plugged into charger

---

As the title suggests, I am trying to figure out how to leave the screen on when being charged/plugged into charger. I often have music playing at my desk at work and prefer to skip some songs. Kind of sucks having to unlock the screen each time.

I think the media dock allows this since there is a setting in the dock section. I was surprised that it was not in the display or battery section.

There should be a developer menu setting to keep the screen on while charging. Keep looking.

If there isn't, or if you also want to specify the display brightness and timeout while charging and when on battery, you can use Tasker, or an app I wrote last year -- ChargeBright -- that ONLY does this.

If it's known for your phone model you want a 'whitelist' this has engineers/developers numbers and is probably under a setting especially for testing etc

It may not be exposed in the menu, but the system setting for it is still there.

I have my display (using my app) set to go to 100% brightness when plugged in, and to turn off after 2 minutes idle; when I unplug, it reverts to auto brightness and whatever the old timeout was (10 seconds iirc).

And, yeah, my Captivate's 22-month OLED has burn-in in the high-contrast top&bottom areas, but it's only noticeable when the screen is completely white.

Yeah I didn't think about the burn in issue. Guess I will learn to live with it. Thanks for the help all.
