We're using Samsung with Android 4.1.2 as a scrabble timer - via the default Clock application. It would be much more comfortable if I could force the phone screen to be always on so that we can see the time remaining. I found no setting or downloadable program to achieve that.
I need some workaround tip - any ideas?
To solve a temporary solution you can go into settings -> display -> sleep -> 30 min
Find an app that supports Keep Awake
Keep Awake keeps the device unlocked and awake during the use of the app in question
This other one will result in digging deep in to your devices settings that are normally hidden called Developer Options for this
Back out once
