Hello,
I have tried about 15 apps and widgets that claim to prevent the screen from dimming, not a one of them works. Is there ANYTHING for the Note that will do this? Please don't ask me why on earth I'd want to do this, that just shows total ignorance, many of us use our phones while docked to do certain things that the dimming is annoying as hell with. (i.e. GPS and other features while driving for example). I just want the damned phone to stop dimming, not after 5 minutes, not after 15 minutes, not after 500 years, just NEVER FREAKING DIM! EVER! I understand, this is supposed to save battery life, but here's a tip, turn the friggin' thing off when you aren't using it, it saves a lot more battery life. If my phone is on, I want to be able to see it clearly, all the time, not just for a specific time period. I find screen dimming to be the most obnoxious "feature" on any device, be it smartphone, tablet, computer or anything else. I absolutely loath the way you're forced to use this "feature" and aren't even given a built in option to disable it. Of all the things about the iPhone I could claim I miss, this would be one of the very few. It wouldn't make me go back to crApple, but it does annoy the heck out of me.
Please, someone tell me there's a way to stop this thing from dimming.
