system:

• Android 10
• Keep Screen On: at least versions 1.12.0 and 1.11.0

before update:

• in Keep Screen On both Options to restore timeout (low battery, screen off) activated
• icon shows up on status bar if Keep Screen On gets activated

after update:

• restoring to system timeout value doesn't work anymore
• icon doesn't show up on status bar

work around:
toggle both Options and app behaves as expected again

NB:

• a reboot is not solving the issue
• have not systematically tested whether status of Keep Screen On, i.e. being active or not, at time of update is making a difference

Looks like versionCode was set to 2 instead of 24 by accident in 3453ea6, so Android thinks a newer version is already installed when trying to update from 1.16.2 to 1.17.0

This is really a very nice, simple, and functional app, but since it doesn't have any complicated UI or settings, why does it have such a big size when installed? More than 18MB, while a non-open source one that I use, with lots of customization options, takes only half the size. It's this one:

https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues/3267 We don't know how to fix it currently. It seems it's caused by toolchain update and the reproducible-apk-tools doesn't work with that yet. Could you please take a look? Thanks!

If I'm in the middle of a call, the screen timeout follows the system timeout instead of the one set in the app.

It would be really great if a feature to keep the device awake, showing a black screen on the display like Blekip can be introduced.

I gave all the necessary permission but it doesn't work in my device,can you make it to work with shizuku may be this adb will make it work I don't know.

There is a risk of forgetting to reactivate the timeout and draining the battery overnight.

A customizable minimum battery level could re-enable the timeout when the device drops below that level. If the timeout is disabled again below this level, it could work as normal and drain the device until it is empty.

Great app, as simple and effective! Thank you.

Similar to #9 I'd like to suggest an enhancement, mainly for security reasons:

After the screen gets locked KeepScreenOn should by default get deactivated and the screen timeout value should revert back to the system setting value. Of course, in addition there could be an option to override this default behavior.

Thank you for your consideration

Personally i think the app should show a notification with a turn off button, all the other similar apps I've used does this. I find it more easy than swiping through quick tiles to turn the service off. Please consider adding it if possible. Thank you

Use case: Some apps need to keep the screen always on in order to run stably in the background, and reduce battery consumption.
It would be even better if the previous brightness level could be restored when the "always on" mode is turned off.

Thank you for developing such a useful app.

I give the permission to the app that is needed but when I turn on the button it doesn't work and it turns off. my phone is oppo a16,

When I installed the new 1.1 version, I got a warning from Play Protect. That didn't happen with 1.0. Can you check this? Maybe it has to do with the apk signature or something.

P. S. I hope the app size issue is soon fixed. 😊

Hello ,

restore the previous timeout value dosn't work

Steps :
add the app quick settings tile
activet it
deactivet it

the screen timeout dosn't restore the previous timeout value

android : 13
miui : 14.0.12
app v. : 1.5.0

At the bottom of the screen, it shows the delay without indicating the unit (looks like ms). See yellow arrow on the image below.

Add a toggle in the app window, to hide the app icon in the app drawer. It's useless after the initial start of the app. If someone wants to launch the app, he can do it by long tapping the tile, and then tap "launch" in the app settings.

I think the active indication of the tile should be reversed. What I mean is that, when the app is not "active" the screen timeout is the one set by the user; the default one. In that case the tile should not be lit. When it's tapped, the app is "activated" (infinite timeout), so the tile should be lit. That makes more sense, and it's the way all other respective apps' tiles work.

I'm running on the latest version of GrapheneOS and the latest version of KeepScreenOn (via f-droid).
When I unlock my phone, KeepScreenOn keeps crashing and below is the exception that's generated.
I've also attached the logcat in hope this might help Keep Screen On log 53aeee890cf9.txt.

Let me know if you need further information or tests on my end.
