Note 9 camera app shuts down after 2 min of inactivity. Need it to stay active longer.
Yesterday I asked this question: I am a guitar player and want to take video with Note 9 when I play a gig. Have a remote Joby to start/stop video. However, once I open Camera app, and set for video, I only have 2 minutes of inactivity before Camera app closes down. During a gig I can't go reset the app between songs if it is more than 2 minutes. I can't find a setting to keep app open longer.
Rukbat answered and recommended using another camera app. So I downloaded 3 different camera apps with the same shut down result. Rukbat do you have another camera app you recommend that will override the Samsung camera app?
Mustang 7757 recommended to go into settings then display timeout and set it longer. I have tried this for the app and the phone. The only timeout I can find is for the screen saver. I have taken the phone to Sprint and another cell phone store that sells the Note 9, and neither of them could find a way to override the 2 minute timeout. Mustang 7757, do you have more detailed info on how to find the display timeout?
I have 2 older Samsung phones, a 5 and a 7, but the video start button is not separate from the camera, so you have to specifically hit the video button to activate it.
My wifes Iphone X camera app stays open and doesn't shut down. Can't believe I am the only one having this problem. Thanks for any help from anybody.
