Inhibit screen dimming/locking when not tracking
Quote from Router66 on 05.03.2024, 00:16In versions prior to 3.5, the screen would not dim or lock when sitting at the map screen but not recording a track. This was great because I would unlock my phone with Face ID before putting my phone on its mount and putting my helmet and gloves on. Life was good. Now with 3.5, if I take too long to put my helmet on before tapping the record track button then I end up with a locked phone that doesn’t recognize my face because of the full-face helmet. By that point I already have my gloves on too and, although they claim to be “touchscreen compatible”, typing with them on is extremely clumsy. At some point shortly after the upgrade to 3.5, Scenic asked me about a battery saver feature. I chose whatever the option was called that indicated I did not want the battery saver enabled but that must control some other aspect of the app. My phone mount powers and charges the phone so I am not concerned with battery usage and would prefer the convenience of the phone staying unlocked as was the behavior in Scenic prior to v3.5.
Thanks for such an excellent app and for what was in almost all ways a fantastic upgrade with version 3.5.
