Keep Screen On - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
Is there option, under Lollipop 5, to keep the Nexus 5 screen on indefinitely. I see the max in Display settings is 30 minutes. When I am in my car, using the navigation, its a pain to have the screen go to sleep. There used to be a way, using Xposed in 4.4, to do this. Wondering if anyone has found a way to do it in 5.
Thanks,
Steve

In settings -> developer options
you can check Stay awake.
It will keep your phone phone on while charging that is what i use.

You can also install an app called "Screen Timeout Toggle"

Screen Staying On

Hey guys hope someone can provide some insight.
Since upgrading to 4.4.3 via ota, flashing supersu and re-enabling xposed, my screen does not automatically timeout. It will stay on until I touch the power button to put it on standby.
I assumed it was an app so I've uninstalled anything new and still no change.
I have no clue what is preventing my device from sleeping. Any help would be appreciated.

Can you provide more details? What's your Display settings and what modules do you you have loaded?

My display settings are currently on 30 but I've tried 1 minute and 2 minutes as well with no change. The only modules I have loaded are Gravity Box.

Few things to try out.
1. Set display to time out after 1 min. Then reboot your phone. See if problem reoccurs.
2. Settings -> Developer Options -> Stay awake (make sure this is not checked)
3. Check if you have apps installed that has permission to keep the screen on, even if it is not the active app on screen.
4. Settings -> Applications -> Running (kill any unnecessary running apps) (might help if you do the same for cached processes)

[q] Lockscreen doesn't timeout?

I'm running CM11s 33R with franco kernel r14 and Google Now Launcher. When I manually turn on my screen with the power button or double tap, to check the time for example, the screen will not go back to sleep. However if it turns on automatically because I received a text or snapchat, it will sleep if I leave it alone. Anyone else getting this issue/ have any fixes? I have screen sleep set in display settings to be after 30 seconds of inactivity so i'm wondering what the issue is. Thanks in advance.
Edit: It actually seems like my screen timeout isn't working at all, past the lock-screen, even while i'm in the actual device or an app.
Are you plugged in? In developer options, there's an option for the screen to never sleep while plugged in. If not, the answer to everything: reboot the phone!
Nope not plugged in, and i reboot multiple times on a daily basis and that hasn't fixed it.
For me, when I double tap or press the power button and leave it there, the screen will go back to sleep after 30 seconds. My old phone would turn off the screen after 5 seconds on the lockscreen. There doesn't seem to be a setting for this and it's just automatically set at 30 seconds.
i also got this problem
I got this problem also
i'm running same Stats like: CM11S 33R, test with Franco Kernel R14, Trebuchet Launcher.
If i doesnt turn my screen off by power button the screen will be stay activ anyway no-matter which settings i set on Options

i also have this problem... annoying... any update?
I am also having this problem.
In my case, the screen will stay on indefinitely. I have timeout set to 30sec.
I have "Llama" app running, and configured to disable my lockscreen based on location. This could be generating some problems... But I don't think so.
Any new thoughts or fixes?

Only way to find out is disable that app or whatever it does then testing it out

Turn Off Wifi during sleep mode

Hey guys,
I just need to know all the options available in HAM7 in order to switch-off the WI-FI whenever I pressed the lock-button or screen is off or phone in sleep mode?
However, Can anyone tells me how long does the phone needs to enter the "sleep mode" if it's screen timeout is set to 15seconds + all apps are protected "restricted" from (Running in background + Push-notification)?
Thanks

Hey Alex,
Thanks for your help, but i think there is already an option in the Huawei Ascend mate 7 phones for doing such thing but i can't really find it, the reason that i don't need to download any (Battery Saving Programs, that the phone is packed with the same utility too! called "Phone Manager") ,, it was working with me, but seems to be i done something (disable something or protect something "Restricting it") from doing it's normal function that i still don't figure it out what is it!
Thanks for your reply, I've tried this app and i wasn't knew what does "Smart WIFI" means until Now, so i would make it my last choice to download this app again, in case if i didn't find a way to manage it within the phone settings.

Go to settings - > WI-FI -> scroll down -> Advanced Settings -> Keep Wi- Fi on during sleep -> Never
I have it on " Always" but you can choose "Never"
Hope it helps

Unfortunately, I've the same options on "Never (increase data usage)"
But still the wifi is on, that means either the phone doesn't enter into sleep mode after 2-10mins or more or either it's not the option we're looking for!

Yeah, same here, I tested on 'Never' and I have the same result, so don't worry it's not from your phone, probably it's from the firmware I guess.
You can test the Smart Wi fi option from the Smart Battery Saver app to see if it works.

Yes, I did test the App once again, and it really does what it says PLUS it really makes a difference in battery life better than before!
Great App, I wanna thank you for suggesting this app to me :good:
Thanks Again

As you can see in the following picture it's my settings, without using the app "Smart Battery Saver" suggested by member in previous comments the device couldn't been able to Switch WIFI automatically, unless I use the app provided.
However, the phone was working properly but I don't know what happened to that option later on.
All my apps is restricted from running on background and app notification is restricted too, Sync is switched off. I wonder what eels remained.. lol
I found option to control Wi-Fi in the Viber application settings (you can see this option on the attached screenshot). May be you using something app like this?
And IMHO restrictions working only for automatic memory clearing if it's not enough for active application, but I could be wrong.

I found out if you want wi fi turning off during sleep do this: Go to settings - > WI-FI -> scroll down -> Advanced Settings -> Keep Wi- Fi on during sleep -> Only when plugged in.
I think this was the setting you were looking for. With this setting my wifi disables every time during sleep and reconnects automatic when i turn the screen on.

It seems to be doesn't work, I've tried it just in few minutes, and changed my display screen time-out for 15-seconds to go to sleep quickly, still it doesn't work after several minutes, so my question is for (How long does the phone consume from time to "enter sleep mode/device WI-FI switched Off") with your phone?

I think it must be in sleep mode at least 5 to 10 minutes. If you just turn off the screen and turn back on, the wifi will not disabled. Test it. Let the phone off for 5-10 minutes to have time to enter sleep mode. If you want to disable the wifi immediately every time you turn off the screen, the only solution is that app.

Screen waking randomly

I've been having a problem recently where the screen will turn on (very dimly) when the phone is sitting idly. It seems to happen frequently when there are notifications. It will sometimes do it repeatedly, even several times a minute. Is there any way to turn this off?

This is as designed and is called Moto Display, open the Moto app and select Display, select "Wake screen when notifications arrive" and then select None, it should stop.

If you're using Android Lollipop's "Ambient Display" it behaves similarly. It wakes a few times after a notification before staying off. I think it actually wakes 4 or 5 times at a set interval after a notification is received.
Goto Settings / Display, you should see where it gives you an option to turn Ambient display on or off. As far as I know the only option is to turn it off. I don't think it is configurable, but not sure on your ROM.

Screen Waking up automatically

My phone is waking up automatically to change lock screen picture every few minutes. It used to do that every few hours and now its happening every few minutes. It there a way to fix this ?

Try to investigate problem. There is something what does not allow phone to sleep and wakes up periodically.
What specific apps did you install?
Go to settings / battery and look up for draining apps.
Use alternative apps like gsam battery monitor or similar
Additionally, go to settings / screen lock & passwords / magazine unlock and turn off option "auto update over WiFi"
Is there a Bluetooth device such as a Huawei Band nearby?
Settings -> Display -> Wallpapers
Check "interval" number and change accordingly.
However, screen shouldn't wake up from this.

I have disabled magazine unlock screen also not changing wallpaper automatically. There is no notification, it looks like as if phone is waking up to change wallpaper.
Ended up doing factory data reset. Everything is back to normal. Not sure what was going on..
