How do I prevent Android from going to sleep? I never want my Android tablet to go to sleep, can I prevent sleep mode?
Depending on you tablet, you may have the option to set the screen timeout to &quot;never&quot; under Settings &gt; Display &gt; Sleep.
If you do not have this option, you can enable Settings &gt; Developer options &gt; Stay awake. This will keep your tablet awake while it is charging. This could be useful if your tablet does not support the &quot;never&quot; screen timeout.
Note: If you don't see Developer options in Settings, it may be made available by going to to Settings &gt; About &gt; Build number. Developer options should appear after tapping the build number several times.
(Rowan) Note: Developer settings isn't always in build number it can be in others such as the kernel version. It's mostly trying to be hidden by the devs in different locations and I know this because I myself have found them in different locations on different devices.
