How to keep screen from turning whilst using GPS? - N95 8GB
Hi, first post!
Just got my new N95 8GB (USA), and am thinking about using it as a GPS on my motorcycle. Is there a way to keep the screen from turning off? I already have a cradle on order with a built in power plug, so I'm not worried about battery consumption while in this mode.
Thanks for the help (great forum, btw). |

Welcome.!
You should be able to change the settings in "Display" Menu>Tools>Settings>Display
There you have light timer etc

Thanks for the reply.
All I see there, are "Powersaver time-out" with a max of 90 seconds, and also "Light time-out" with a max of 60 seconds. Seems either one (both, really) foil my plans.

Automatic backlight for S60 3rd Edition | Simply Symbian
You can download an application that will keep the backlight on always. There are plenty about and some are freeware but I can't seem to find one at the moment.
