I have a s24 ultra and am very upset with the company taking away the screen time out of never . Makes it hard to listen to music or watching a movie. Pluse I use it for audio books while I'm at work . Now I only have 10 mins before the screen cuts off and closes my book

There are just way too many BIG companies who have no real-life clue when it comes too messing with a user's electronics! A TEN MIN TIMEOUT IS USELESS AND EXTREAMLY ANNOYING! - PUT NEVER BACK SO WE ARE NOT FORCED INTO USING SOME DUMB INTRUSIVE APP!

I fully agree, why force users to have screen timeout ? If we want to keep our screens on for hours without looking at it, we should be able to do so...

How does a person keep the phone awake when using Google Maps? Most flusterating trip, no idea where I was going and had to constantly unlock my phone to view map, which by the way did not give me indications of my turns were coming up. GM didn't talk either. Thinking this phone is a waste of money.

It would probably be better to restore the "Never" option if possible. There are legitimate use cases for having the level of control previously afforded us.

Install the Caffeine App. Then you'll have many time out options including "Infinite".

 

I'm using it on my S24 Ultra. Works great.

Samsung needs to fix this. It makes gaming with a controller and listening to music unplayable, unless it detects your face. Try using Dex on a TV with a controller. It powers off every 10 minutes and reverts the controller to the touchpad. Please fix. This is unbearable.

I was able to leave mine on using 'never'.  They just did an update and all of a sudden my phone goes black and I have to put my finger on it again to get back to what I was doing.  This is ridiculous.  We aren't kids.  We are adults and should be able to decide for ourselves.  I have always used a Samsung but something is very wrong with their developers.  I don't even see Developer Options anymore.
