About this app

Screen Alive Elite has features to allow your device to keep screen awake always or till a specific duration of inactivity. You can make it smart enough to keep screen on while charging or switch to a lower timeout when the device battery is low.

You can keep the notification on and use the overlay button - a new concept to enforce your device to keep screen on. Keeping the overlay button on your screen can also help you to keep screen on during calls.

A resizable widget is available as well that you can add to your home screen. Additionally, quick settings and notifications are given to keep you updated of the settings. All of this with No-Ads! (We, at Snapcore, value a distraction free experience, hence all of our products, whether free or paid, are ads free - now and forever.)
Note: This app requires your permission to make changes to system settings. To use the overlay button, display over other apps permission is required.

Ratings and reviews

UPDATE: I'd say I wasted my money. PREVIOUSLY: Seems to work but causes "Unable to write to System Settings" error messages when attempting to access the app at certain times and during phone restarts. I'd like to be able to use this app without those error messages, obviously. I also suspect this app interferes with overall normal system functionality but that's harder to pin down. I've reinstalled it to try and find out and decide if I wasted my money. Samsung Galaxy A20, Android 10.

This is the only working solution that I've found for keeping the screen on during calls! I was already using it for things like keeping the screen on during drive throughs and similar situations, and it worked great. However, I also needed the screen on during calls because my phone kept turning the screen off even when using the loudspeaker or with headphones. So after working a bit with it I realized you have to have the overlay on during the calls, which I hadn't been doing, and it works!!

Samsung S20 Ultra Android 12: Does not work at. all. When I set a new screen timeout, save it, then hit the light bulb icon again, it still shows the system timeout. I tried setting screen timeout to both Always On and 1 hour; neither works. I turned on the overlay button and it does nothing. Tap, long press, doesn't matter. Nothing happens. The only thing I can do is drag it around the screen. And, yes, I did enable all requested permissions. I would give it zero stars if I could.
