I recently updated to Froyo 2.2, but I cannot sent my phone screen to not time out while charging.  I liked that feature.  Is it possible to set the phone to not time out while charging with 2.2?

Hi. 

 

I have personally tried these steps and they have worked successfully on the Samsung Fascinate with the Froyo update.  When you do the steps, the backlight will not time out when being charged.

Try this: Settings>Applications>Development then select Stay Awake.

Looks like from what I have been reading that Froyo ED01 doesn't include the stay awake feature.  Since my base is still EB01 (tricked out) my device still has it for now.

  It is my understanding that Samsung took that option out because of screen burn in.

Thank you for the inquiry. Adding to what was stated, the 2.2 update should not have affected the function of the Stay awake feature. The Stay awake is enabled, the screen will not go to sleep (lock) while connected to a PC via USB cable. This can be useful when using some applications, such as 3G Mobile Hotspot, because the  phone will disconnect a Wi-Fi or data connection when the screen locks. This setting is used for development purposes but should still work.

1. From the Home screen, touch Menu ➔ Settings ➔
Applications ➔ Development.
2. Touch Stay awake to enable or disable the setting. When
enabled, a check mark appears in the check box.

 

Please use these steps to access and try the function. 

 

1. From the Home screen, touch Menu, Settings, Applications, Development.

2. Touch Stay awake to enable or disable the setting. When enabled, a check mark appears in the check box.

 

The user Manuel on page 127 refers to this information. I am providing a link to where you can access your Manuel as a reference. When accessing the website, simply put your device.  The link is: http://support.vzw.com/clc/devices/index.html

  I am running 2.2 on my Fascinate, and when I go to HOME | MENU | SETTINGS | DEVELOPMENT the only things I have there are USB Debugging and Allow mock locations.
