1. Introduction

There are times when you might need your OPPO phone's screen to remain on without automatically turning off, such as during presentations, watching videos, or reading. By adjusting the screen timeout settings, you can ensure that the screen stays on for as long as you need.

2. Checking Your Settings

To start, let's find where you can adjust the screen timeout settings on your OPPO phone. Here's how to access them:

1. Open the Settings app on your OPPO phone.
2. Scroll down and tap on Display & Brightness.

3. Adjust Screen Timeout Settings

The Screen Timeout feature controls how long the screen stays on after a period of inactivity. To prevent the screen from turning off automatically, follow these steps:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap on Display & Brightness.
3. Scroll down and tap on Sleep or Screen Timeout.
4. Select the longest available option (usually 30 minutes). Unfortunately, OPPO phones do not have a Never option, but selecting the longest timeout will ensure the screen stays on for the maximum time.

4. Use Always-On Display (AOD) Feature

OPPO devices also offer the Always-On Display (AOD) feature, which allows certain elements like the time, date, and notifications to remain visible even when the phone is in a locked state. To enable AOD:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap on Personalization.
3. Tap on Lock Screen & Wallpaper.
4. Enable Always-On Display by toggling the switch.
5. Customize the display style, such as choosing between clock styles, notifications, or images.

AOD will keep the screen partially active, showing key information without fully turning the screen on, helping to save battery.

5. Using Developer Options for Screen Timeout (Advanced)

If you prefer more advanced settings, you can enable Developer Options to keep the screen on while charging. Here's how to enable this feature:

1. Open Settings and go to About phone.
2. Tap on Version several times until you see a message saying You are now a developer.
3. Return to Settings and scroll down to tap on Additional settings.
4. Tap on Developer options.
5. Find and toggle the option Stay awake, which will keep the screen on while the device is charging.

This method ensures your screen remains on when the phone is plugged in but won't change settings for battery usage when it's unplugged.

6. Battery Life Considerations

Keeping your OPPO phone's screen on continuously can use more power, especially at higher brightness levels. Here are some tips to help you manage battery consumption:

1. Lower screen brightness: Go to Settings > Display & Brightness and adjust the Brightness slider to a lower level to save battery.
2. Use Auto-Brightness: Enable Auto-Brightness under Settings > Display & Brightness to allow your phone to automatically adjust brightness based on ambient light.
3. Close background apps: Make sure to close any unused apps by going to the recent apps menu and swiping them away to reduce power consumption.
4. Use Power Saving Mode: If you need to save battery while keeping the screen on, you can activate Power Saving Mode under Settings > Battery.

7. Conclusion

By following these steps, you can easily ensure your OPPO phone's screen stays on without automatically turning off. Whether it's for presentations, watching content, or keeping the screen visible for other reasons, the Screen Timeout and Always-On Display features will help. Just keep in mind that continuously keeping the screen on will drain your battery faster, so it's important to manage power settings accordingly.

8. FAQs

Q1: My screen still turns off even after adjusting the screen timeout, what should I do?

If the screen still turns off despite setting the timeout to 30 minutes, make sure Power Saving Mode is not enabled, as it might override your screen timeout settings.

Q2: Can I set my screen to always stay on without using AOD?

Unfortunately, OPPO devices do not offer a "never" option in the screen timeout settings. However, you can use the Stay awake option in Developer options to keep the screen on while charging.
