Help How to I keep screen from timing out when plugged in on Droid X

[thegadgetguroo]

I want to know how to set the screen on my droid x to not time out when I am plugged in to a charger. When I'm driving and listening to music through the phone it's annoying when I have to always unlock the phone to check or change a track. When I had the original droid I was able to set the phone so it would not time out but I cannot remember the setting.

Thanks for the fast response.

There is also a great free app called keepscreen that allows you to specify individual apps to keep the screen on while in use.

Thanks. I think I'm going to give keep screen a try.

what about an app that just keeps it on when its plugged into uSB? when I am working I like to keep it plugged in but find it a pain to unlock it each time I get a text.

i use the switch pro widget which has all kinds of options to be able to use
and "screen always on: is one of the available button options.
i have mine set up with wifi on/off, gps on/off, screen brightness control, vibrate mode, auto rotate, and screen always on, it comes in handy when passing the phone around with pictures so it doesnt turn off causing people to freak out.
having the widget is easy enough to use.
