Hi, I'm new here so this may be answered somewhere else but I can't find it right now. I have a Samsung Galaxy S and I want to have the screen stay on when the phone is plugged into the USB but I can't find anywhere to set that up. My old phone, Samsung Moment, was easy to do that on but I can't figure it out on this one.
 
Welcome to the Android Forum!

I don't know where this would be, but go to the main screen and scroll down until you find the list of phones and select yours and ask yourquestion there!

Not to beat a dead horse, but don't forget to use your search button, that'll solve the not sure if its answered problem ;)

Oh wow, I would have never thought that it was the same, I didn't want to say that (I have the D1) ande it be completely different for him!
 
There's also a program called widgetsoid that lets you use all kinds of customizable widgets on your home screens, one of them has 'always on' as a widget and you can just turn it on and off as you please.
Widgetsoid is free from the market if you wan't to try it, it's pretty good.

Downloading now! Thank you!

EDIT: actually, can't seem to find that app..
 
I use an app called KeepScreen (free from the Market) which allows you to choose which apps you would like the screen to stay on for. I use it to keep the screen on for Maps but everything on my phone was listed as an option to enable the screen to remain on.
