How to Increase the Screen Timeout Length

Configurare noua (How To)

Situatie

Screen timeout prevents your phone’s screen from remaining on when you’re not using your device. However, there are times when you don’t want it to do this. Fortunately, you can disable it on your Android phone or tablet. The screen timeout simply determines how long the screen will stay on after you’re done using it. This is usually 30 seconds to 1 minute, by default. If you’re using your phone for something that doesn’t require touching the display, you might find the short screen timeout annoying.

On Android devices, you can easily change the screen timeout length. The process slightly varies depending on which phone you have, as each manufacturer changes the Android user interface. Still, it usually only requires a few steps.

Before we talk about the methods you can use to prevent the screen from turning off, it should be mentioned that most Android phones can’t do this natively. On the majority of Android devices, you can only set the screen timeout to a longer time limit, such as 10 or 30 minutes. In most situations, though, this is good enough.

Swipe down from the top of the screen to open the notification panel. Tap the Gear icon to open the “Settings” menu. Depending on which device you have, you might need to swipe down a second time to reveal the Gear icon.

This is where things can really start to vary by device. Some phones, like the Google Pixel, require that you expand the “Advanced” section in the “Display” settings.

Other phones list “Screen Timeout” under the main “Display” settings.

Things can vary by device here, as well. Almost all Android devices have 15 and 30 seconds, or 1, 2, 5, and 10 minutes as an option. However, some phones will have an additional 30-minute choice. Select the longest one available on your phone.
