When I first started having this problem, I was pretty shocked. I thought it was impossible to read the screen, but after the first time I finally understood.
You have to be on autopilot to have a screen timeout.
The problem is this. When you’re on a computer or tablet, you don’t have to worry about the screen locking, you just keep going. Most mobile devices will do this, even if the settings prompt is really annoying. Some devices, like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, will even send a notification for when they’ve lost connection to your screen.
The screen timeout is a system setting on Android that limits the amount of time that your device will hold its screen. It can be very useful if youre on a phone, tablet, or laptop that doesn’t have a screen timeout set. You could say that its the only way to know that your phone is about to die.
I don’t know about you, but I’m not the biggest fan of screen-timing. This is particularly annoying when you are on the road and have a limited amount of time. A lot of people who say they never screen-timed their phone tend to be on the road and have a limited amount of time to kill. We’ve been doing a lot of screen-timing lately to keep our eyes on our screens.
The problem with screen-timing is that it only works for a very short period of time. When you are driving, there is so much data to keep up with that you might miss a few minutes of that time. In order to get the best out of your screen-timing setup, you need to keep it active. Otherwise, you risk missing the last few minutes of your trip.
