[assume]

I was 3 hours on a road bike on unknown roads.

I used ORUX for the first time with offline maps and a gpx-Track: it works perfectly, except for the fact that I had to hit the  Standby-button every minute as the screen switched off every minute.



Here is what I have

• Fairphone 2 with Android 6.0.1

Here is what I did before the trip

• I switched to offline mode

• I set the standby timeout to 30minutes in the android system settings

• I set the unlock mode to 'none', so that I do not have to type in my PIN all the time

• I switched off energy saving mode

Some considerations

• My phone switches the display off disregarding the standby timeout settings, no matter what application I use. So I assume that switching the display off is something different compared to standby.


• There is an ORUX system setting to disable the switching off of the screen whist in track recording mode: This might do the trick, but I do not want to record a track. So I could open up a change request?

• I have no issues with battery draining: I drove 3 hours, chilled 3 hours and my phone had a battery content of over 50%.

What do you think?

• Is the screen switching off a bug of the OS or my phone in particular?

• Is this normal and should I install an application like No Screen Off https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.k2.no.screen.off">//https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.k2.no.screen.off, whatever. How do other road bikers solve this issue?

Thanks for any hint and comment in advance
