If you ever wondered if it’s possible to keep screen from blanking/locking while the device is plugged into a charger, the answer is yes, it is possible, without any additional apps. Only the setting for this is strangely placed. To enable this feature, go into Menu → Settings → Applications → Development and tick “Stay Awake”. That’s it.
yes, but the screen still dims after the timeout period has elapsed. i need a way to keep my phone fully awake and bright fpr using the map in the car
@ivan: it’s not a perfect solution, but you can use “Screen never timeout” toggler from “Toggle settings” app – it prevents the screen from dimming.
