How to keeep screen from timing out while using a dock?

[tucg15]

Is there a way to keep your phone from timing out when connected to a dock? I want to keep the lock screen lit up while my phone is on my desk at work but cannot figure it out. Any help would be great. Thanks!

There is (or was?) an option in developer settings to keep the screen on when docked. I no longer see that option on my phone, but I'm not docked, and maybe the option only appears when you're connected. Anyway, check for that option.

Otherwise, profile programs like Setting Profiles will do this. I haven't tried Llama, but it probably offers the capability, too.

I found it in the Developer Options!! Thanks so much meyerweb! Very helpful!

I would use a NFC tag with Tasker. That should take care of it.

Should we worry about screen burn in when doing this? I heard that AMOLED screens were susceptible to this.
