1. Introduction

There are situations when you might need your Vivo phone's screen to remain on continuously without turning off automatically. This can be useful during presentations, watching videos, or when reading. By adjusting the screen timeout settings, you can ensure your screen stays active as long as you need it.

2. Checking Your Settings

To begin, let's locate where you can adjust the screen timeout settings on your Vivo phone. Here's how to access them:

• Open the Settings app on your Vivo phone.
• Scroll down and tap on Display.

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.
3. Scroll down and tap on Sleep or Screen Timeout.
4. Select the longest available option (usually 30 minutes). Vivo phones do not have a Never option, but setting it to 30 minutes will ensure the screen stays on for the maximum amount of time.

4. Use Always-On Display (AOD) Feature

Vivo smartphones offer the Always-On Display (AOD) feature, which shows essential information like the time, date, and notifications on the locked screen. This feature helps keep key details visible without fully turning the screen on.

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap on Display.
3. Select Always-On Display or AOD.
4. Toggle the switch to enable the feature.
5. Customize the AOD display style, such as choosing between clock styles, notifications, or other visual elements.

The AOD feature keeps the screen partially active, displaying important information without fully lighting up the display, which helps conserve battery life.

5. Using Developer Options for Screen Timeout (Advanced)

If you prefer more control over how long the screen stays on, Vivo devices also allow access to 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 Software information.
3. Tap Build number multiple times (usually 7) until you see the message You are now a developer.
4. Return to the Settings menu and select System.
5. Tap on Developer options.
6. Toggle Stay awake to On. This will keep the screen on while the phone is charging.

This advanced setting will prevent the screen from turning off when the phone is plugged in for charging, even if you're not interacting with it.

6. Battery Life Considerations

Keeping your Vivo phone's screen on continuously can consume more battery. To help manage battery usage, consider the following tips:

• Lower screen brightness: Go to Settings > Display > Brightness and adjust the brightness to a lower level to conserve battery.
• Enable adaptive brightness: Turn on Adaptive brightness in Settings > Display to automatically adjust screen brightness based on the surrounding light.
• Close unnecessary background apps: Close apps running in the background that may consume power by accessing the recent apps screen and swiping them away.
• Activate power saving modes: If you need to preserve battery life, enable Power saving mode under Settings > Battery.

7. Conclusion

By following these steps, you can easily keep your Vivo phone's screen on without it automatically turning off. Whether for presentations, watching videos, or keeping the screen visible for other reasons, the Screen Timeout and Always-On Display features will help. Just remember that continuously keeping the screen on will use more battery, so managing power settings is essential.

8. FAQs

Q1: My screen still turns off even after setting the screen timeout to 30 minutes, what should I do?

If the screen turns off despite setting it to the longest timeout, check if Power Saving Mode is enabled, as it may override your screen timeout settings. Disable Power Saving Mode by going to Settings > Battery.

Q2: Can I make my screen stay on indefinitely?

Vivo phones do not provide a direct option to keep the screen on indefinitely. However, you can set the timeout to the longest available option (typically 30 minutes) or use Developer Options to keep the screen on while charging.
