Screen Timeout

Has anyone figured out a way to keep the screen on when maps is on? I know Sprint Nav will stay on, but I would like to keep maps on without the screen timing out. You would think Google would have a feature that when plugged in would allow certain apps to keep the screen on.

I know it sounds like I'm plugging the hell out of it lately (it has so many features), but widgetsoid had a toggle to keep screen on

Wild guess here, try turning off Miracast in the notification bar toggles.

Nope, it off already...

I know the music player and video player also use dlna like example you can connect to wifi and stream music and videos from another device via dlna

This is nuts, it takes the equivalent of two hours screen time... And I don't even use it!
So the only way to disable it is by purchasing titanium backup?

Try going to settings application manager all then click on dlna and clear data force stop disable and see what happens

Did it, we'll see what happens...

Strangely the same thing just popped up for me. I've had the phone a week and never noticed dlna when looking at my battery stats. Today the phone appeared to be using more battery and dlna was the top offender for battery usage.
The app will not stop, I've cleared data and cache, tried to force stop and it just won't. I'm really not sure what is using it.
I added a lockscreen widget for the quick remote app yesterday night. I've removed that to see if it was causing dlna to run more, it doesn't seem like it should but who knows.

I wasn't either, but just today it started. I finally got the DLNA process to stop, going to watch closely and see if it kicks back on again.

Some notifications note working on lock screen.

I've noticed some apps like Facebook and weather bug, if you access their notifications from the lock screen it won't take you to the app like others like the stock messaging app would, you have to unlock the phone THEN it will take you to the app

Glad you didn't switch? LOL That's probably the dumbest thing I have read all day, no offence. You can fool any fingerprint scanner like this pretty much. I tested this on my payroll time clock scanner and the same thing. It's not hard to do.

Yeah but with the PayPal integration, if someone hacked your phone with the fingerprint scanner, your money isn't safe really is it?

This is the reason they are putting it less secure than PIN and Password as a screen unlock method.

So first they need to take a picture of your fingerprint and print this with thick inkt than the need woodglue

So just use a regular pin like you do on your note 3. Your logic is kinda flawed.

All they did was prove it can be hacked like any other password. What they neglected to mention is that the preparation needed for this is so much harder than just looking over your shoulder and stealing a regular password or pin.
The best password I had was on cm7 for my droid x and x2. It was a gesture swipe on a background of your choice but it allowed for multiple swipes and with no hints or bypasses it was impossible to hack. Never understood why they discontinued it and it hasn't been implemented in android yet.

Isn't that the case for any form of password? If someone got your PIN/password/pattern, they could have access to all of those things you mentioned, without ever needing your fingerprint in the first place. So...what's the problem here?
Pro tip: Everything is hackable. Thinking otherwise is only being naive.
