How to Disable Display Timeout on Android [3 Methods]
In this guide, we will show you various methods to disable the display timeout duration on Android. Usually, when I am writing a guide, I keep my device right in front of me because I carry out the same tweak on my device for which the guide is being written. Apart from that, having the display awake also helps in keeping a tab on all the notifications that are coming to my device; there’s no need to leave my work, unlock the device, and have a look at them.
However, here’s just one issue in all of this- the maximum time for which the display can remain awake without any interaction is 30 minutes. Once the said time is reached, you’ll again have to manually wake up the device. While in most cases, 30 minutes is more than sufficient, but that isn’t always the case.
Moreover, some OEMs have added a ‘Never’ option under Display Timeout, but there are still quite a lot of them that haven’t. So if you also own a device that doesn’t have this option, then this guide will help you completely disable the display timeout on your Android device. Follow along.
