Getting started

Are you tired of your Samsung Galaxy Tab screen turning off every 30 minutes? While Galaxy Tabs generally limit screen timeout settings to a maximum of 30 minutes, there’s a nifty solution for those needing longer or indefinite screen time. The Caffeine app offers a simple yet effective way to keep your screen on as long as you need, bypassing the default timeout restrictions. This guide will walk you through the easy steps to set your Galaxy Tab’s screen to stay on indefinitely using the Caffeine app.

Unlock Your Tablet

Within the Timeout settings, ensure you select the 'Infinite' option. This will prevent your screen from turning off automatically.

You're all set!

You’ve now successfully turned off the Auto-Lock feature on your Samsung Galaxy Tab, ensuring that your screen won’t turn off due to inactivity. Remember, while this might be useful in certain situations, keeping your screen on for extended periods can consume more battery. It’s a good practice to turn the Auto-Lock back on or manually lock your device when it’s not in use to save battery life.
