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.
So when I charge overnight the screen lights up every time it hits 100% waking my wife and baby up! It goes off after 10 seconds but is there any way to not make it light up?
Any app?
I've asked the same and haven't found anything yet.
I tend to turn on a screen filter app at night, i use twilight, will dim the screen overnight so its barely visible, then undim it in the morning.

Not without knowing how to unpack/edit and resign/pack system stuff.
This is the sort of thing that custom ROMs take care of for the not so able of us.
Like Jambo, I've worked around this in the past using Tasker and Screen Filter. Just set Tasker to activate a fully black screen filter on top of your screen for a few seconds whenever the phones is sat on a wireless charger. Or reaches a certain battery percentage. And preferably disable it when removing the phone from the charger. Works great.
Appears to be an issue with the Always on Display. Disabling that should resolve the issue.

by the way feel free to spam their support email as this issue has been going on too long!

Solution : enable developer options, and enable keep screen on while charging.
yup screen on = no Always on display..
though also battery and burn in aint good...
Screen will remain on, but brightness will drop to minimum level as the phone is left idle. When looking at the phone while driving, it looks almost off, the home screen is barely visible.
would be great if someone could build a tasker or Automate task that turned off AOD when AA is running.. though you prob need Root..
Anyone having a issue after C62 update of it just now not connecting at all?
jipp here.
android auto refuses the connection after the update.
My head unit is trying to connect while oppo is asking which usb type should be choosen (load/ android auto/mtp or so)
Selecting android auto results in a connection abort and a short vibration.
Already cleared app data, cache and even reinstalled android auto with no effort.
wow oppo really sucks..

Hi guys,
I have a Find X2 Lite with CPH2005VF_11_C_78..
after the android 11 update android auto start to freeze switching apps (ex from maps to spotify a 15 seconds black sceen) or when navigating has to turn direction (the cursor start flickering and after a while the navigation resume).
Is this a similar problem to yours? any suggestion?
my oppo f1s always turn off even after restart, how to fix my boss?
Images on the lock screen, crash the Android Auto. It is an OS problem. Here is what to do, till the problem is solved :
-Go to Settings, Security, Smart Lock and and your car a trusted device. That way you have your phone unlocked while driving and fingerprint disappears.
(You can also remove fingerprint from lock screen by going to Settings, Passwords & Biometrics, Fingerprint, Screen-off unlock and select off, but then you have to wake up your phone before being able to use fingerprint)
-Go to Settings, ..Always-On Display, Always-On Display and disable it. (You can also select Always-On Display with battery saver, which turns off image after some seconds, but on those seconds, the Andriod Auto is crashed)
@[email protected]$#[email protected]& OnePlus, OPPO and Color OS...
Same thing at OnePlus 8T with OxygenOS 12 (which is ColorOS 12).
After update to 12 I still have some problems with AA. Now phone is totally unusable (totally laggy or black screen) when connected to AA and after when disconnected - must wait ca. 5 min or restart phone.
But... After reading this tread I turn off AOD. And stil same. Then I turn off also fingerprint reader at turned off display. And... Everything works perfectly
Will test AOD on, FP on and Smart Lock at my car. But OPPO is a joke...
So, since I updates to android 13 one ui 5.0 my always on display is not working as it should. I use the "tap to show" option, and it works fine the first time i touch my screen when it's off. But that's it. If i don't wake up the screen and touch it again after the screen goes black to see the AOD, it won't show.
I find it very useful to use at night, while sleeping, to see the time and not get blinded by the bright display.
I cleared the phone's cache after the update. Still not working as intended...
Do you use energy saving during day? I set a routine to activate it under 20%, so it deactivate aod, but when I charge it and goes over 20%, I have to enable aod again.
I'm having some issues too. I was using "tap to show", but recently it always come back to "always show" at the moment I lock my phone
Hi, I am currently on bit of a witchhunt with my V10 (H960A, running V30C-EUR-XX). For some reason the standby drain on this phone, which I bought used 2 years ago, is extremely high - about 60% in 12h. At the same time the on screen time is quite good with high brightness while watching videos I get around 6h SoT. Really bizzare.
One thing I noticed which is really strange is that when I change the display timeout in the settings to for example to "15 minutes" and I reboot the phone it always resets to the default setting which is "2 minutes".
So I would be really be thankful if someone could try this on their V10 and post the results.
Also I tried every trick in the book with this battery issue, from resetting the phone multiple times to running it in safe mode or flashing the Software with LG UP. Nothing yielded results. My theory is that something with the settings is messed up and keeps the phone in a "running" state while the screen is off.
