Frequently asked questions #

How do I keep my screen on while charging on Android? #

Install StandBy — it shows a full-screen ambient display and keeps the screen on whenever the phone is charging in landscape.

Will this drain my battery? #

You’re charging, so it stays topped up; night dimming and dark styles reduce power use.
