Kickstand timeout

[poidogger]

Is there a way to set the settings so the screen won't time out when in kickstand mode? I'd like to keep it on for the clock when listening to music in the mornings getting ready for work. I apologize if this has been covered, I didn't find anything on it. Thanks!

Go to Settings/Display/Screen Timeout, and click "Never Timeout".

Then, open the kickstand, and adjust the night brightness high(er), via the Menu/Settings. You have to do it as soon as you open the kickstand, before it disappears.

After that, you should be able to have the clock on display the whole time you have it set in kickstand mode.

Also, if you have it on the charger, it won't time out on you, and you can see your clock. I have my display set to go off after 1 minute in normal mode, but when plugged in and kickstand out, it functions as my bedside alarm clock (with the night brightness setting set low, of course).

Thank you for the reply. I'm hoping not to have to put the phone on never time out. I was hoping there is just a setting for the kickstand only. So that when the kickstand is open the screen will not time out.

As I said, if it is being charged, what you want will happen. If it is not, it will dim.

As long as you use...

menu - settings - development - stay awake [x]

Thank you for the responses. I was hoping there was a kickstand only setting, looks like there isn't.
