Screen timeout while on power

[Guest saintadam]

I seem to remember that when on a previous ROM (maybe pre MCR3.2) that when my Hero was plugged into a power source (be it USB, mains or car power) the screen would not go dim. Was there an option for this, I cannot remember.

However, if there was, it has gone now and this is proving to be a bit annoying in the car with Navigation on, and the screen blanks out. Am I going mad, was there once an option to disable screen timeout with power on and if not, is there any way of doing it now?

I think it's in the same place, assuming you're comparing 3.2 to r4 build 3 WIP: Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Stay awake.

Thanks mate, I would never have found that (again)! Bit of a daft place to put it, if you ask me! So many other electronic gadgets have options to keep screens live if on power, just look at laptops!
