On gingerbread there was an option to turn off the screen timeout in display settings but in ics they removed that option. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to disable the screen timeout? My phone spends all day in the car dock and I like to see what is going on with it without turn it back on every 10 minutes.

Is there a way to increase the time before the numeric screen-lock activates?
Often, I am working on something, or am using a calculator, and if the screen times out, the numeric screen lock appears when I turn the phone back on, even if it's only a minute or so.
It'd be great if I can set it to activate after, say, 20 minutes of inactivity, like the iPhone does.
You can Chang the time out for the screen to go black from display settings , but if you are talking about the time before you need to unlock your phone again I don't think this option supported yet ,I'm not sure . But there is some apps that you can try that prevent the screen from locking such as mylock.
Give it try.

Tasker or Locale plus Locale Password Locker from the market. An expensive solution but capable of doing exactly what you want.
If you're running cm7 you can change the timeout options for the lockscreen.
Hi am looking for an app that will still allow my phone to dim after so many seconds but not completely off. Anybody know of one or know how to do it with android?

I use my tablet as an alarm clock and it has always worked perfectly. After the last system update, though, I find that I can't get the sreen to stay on. I have the screen timeout set to 5 minutes, and I cannot override that. I went in to developer settings and set it so the screen stays on when it is plugged in, but that does not work. I tried using the system clock app and using night mode but that also shuts off after 5 minutes, even when plugged in. I tried turning on the screen saver to the clcok setting when it is plugged in but that still does not keep the screen on past 5 minutes.
Anyone have any other ideas for something I could try?
There are a bunch of apps and widgets that make it easy to switch between "normal screen off with delay" or "screen always on". Have you tried one of these ? Since your setting is blocked as you say, I'm not sure if the apps can override it, but you can try.
for instance No screen off (widget)
or Keep screen on (a background app that checks the device's inclination)

I use app Backlight Switch. It has options to show in notifications and has a widget. You can also create an app list that auto-toggles it.
The screen keeps auto dimming even though I have auto brightness off. Wth is going on???
What is your screen time out set to? It does dim right before turning off the display at your set time. Perhaps it's that?
It still has the 2 stage dimming by default. It switches to that soon before the screen cuts out.

anyone know a way to set a schedule for always on display to toggle on/off based on day/time. I did some searches for tasker but couldn't find anything. I thought it went off when off risk but that doesn't seem to be the case.
The screen should turn off after 30 mins when left on your table.
