AT&T Galaxy S8 Stay awake while charging option in Developer Options not working

[tcjohnsson]

I activated Developer Options and turned on "Stay Awake" which is supposed to keep the screen on at all times the times when charging.

However, the setting has no effect on my phone. The screen will dim and time out based on the setting in "Screen Timeout" which I have set at 30 seconds.

Anything I need to do to get this feature to work? Thank you in advance.

I don't know why it's not working but be careful of screen burn in.

How long is too long before a risk of burn-in?

I've tried that before too on prior phones and it never worked.

Every phone is different but never leave your phone sitting on a non moving screen for long periods of time. AMOLED has gotten a whole lot better compared to previous years so screen burn in is less and less likely but still. Be careful.

I also am having this problem. Have any additional information on this?
