Does anyone know a widget that enables me to temporarily disable screen time-out so that the screen stays on until I manually switch the tablet off?
I've found many apps and widgets that do something in this direction but none of them does exactly what I described above.

This is a very strange problem I'm experiencing on my S3 (Verizon, 4.1.2 stock rom, rooted)
I have set up a pattern lock screen in my Security settings. When the display has been off for the 1 minute, the pattern lock screen protects the phone on the next wake. However, I also have a home screen widget (via Widgetsoid) to quickly enable/disable the Lock Screen. So for example, I turn off the lock screen when I'm driving or at home, and enable it when I'm in public. Normally this mechanism works just fine.
The problem is, when the lock screen is "Disabled", and I get a notification (such as incoming text), and I pull down my notification screen and then to click on the new notification, this immediately pops up my pattern lock screen. (even though it's supposed to be disabled).
This is not a problem specific Widgetsoid. There are other apps that also has the ability to toggle the lock screen (such as Tasker), and this behavior also happens when I use other means to temporarily disable the lock screen.
Note that this notification-triggers-lock behavior doesn't happen when the Lock Screen is enabled.
I have searched around for any thread that might show something related to this issue, but found nothing that matches the behavior I'm experiencing. Has anyone else experienced something like this, or have an idea of what might be going on here?
anyone?
I just discovered, after setting smart lock with both trusted face and place, that if I lock the screen using an app (LockScreen for example, which I have set as a Nova shortcut), when I turn my screen back on smart lock will not work...
The same happens if I use the Greenify hibernate + lock screen shortcut. Has anyone had the same problem and found a workaround? I'm really used to lock the screen with a shortcut but I'd also like to use smart lock
Thanks in advance!

You're manually locking the phone which over rides the smart lock functionality. No work around at this time, that I know of.
Posted this in the LG section but have since rid of that phone for the S6.
I'm hoping to find a way to disable the lock screen when i'm at home or another trusted area, without the need for unnecessary GPS/Location usage as with what the 'smart lock' option demands. Also, without having to root the device.
On my S4 widgetsoid did this brilliantly right from the notification panel and it would coincide with the device locking features that were set.
For instance. Whenever i was home I'd disable by tapping the padlock icon. Then if i went out I'd just tap it again to enable it. If I forgot to enable it, the set time limit for the locking options would take control and eventually automatically lock the device on it's own.
Is there anything available like this? Widgetsoid needs system access for this feature to work now.
Hello guys.
As known, some apps work better with accessibility turned on. Usually when manually turned on, it stays so permanently but for some apps, it goes off after reboot.
But it keeps going off for me after a few hours. Apps like Tiles, Round Corners, Navbar & Sesame shortcuts.
Only Nova launcher stays on.
Any help on this issue?
Thanks
I have the same issue. I also have issues getting notifications. They'll all sync at once when I unlock the phone, or if I get on WiFi. Driving me nuts.
Turn off clear app (choose which app you would like to keep) when screen is off, this will solve the problem.
Hello.
I have GS MTCD device with Android 6.0. I have the following problem both with stock rom and with Malaysk's one.
I want to set a screen timeout so that after 1 min for example the screen turns off and an app starts as screensaver like Glance Plus. Just like on any phone, but on this device there is no Screen Timeout settings. I tried different apps for timeout settings, but after I save the new setting, the system restores the default one immediately which is Infinity (always on).
Is there a way to overwrite this setting so I can turn off the screen? I searched for solution but no luck.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Perhaps you can find a launcher which does the same thing for you. If I am correct Car Launcher Pro has some sort of screensaver feature. But not sure if you can chose the app to be launched.
I personally would like to be able to specify the screen to go completely off. My KLD unit has a button in the notification bar which turns off the screen completely (including backlight) but didn't find a way to trigger this either by tasker or any other tool yet. Also it looks like changing the volume brings up this useless volume-bar on screen which wakes the screen (might be an issue also with other types of screensaver).
Yes, I'm using exactly Car Launcher Pro. Unfortunatelly its screensaver does not autostart for the moment. Hopefully the developer will add this feature
I found this in another discusion : https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...tcd-device-t3598908/post72445250#post72445250
This file has a sleep_timeout setting but it is disabled. I have no idea how to enable it though.
I don't understand why these devices lack screen off feature
