RedEye Stay Awake (free)
* Pokemon Go users: Yes, this app will keep your phone from shutting off when you ignore it long enough ***
RedEye allows your phone or tablet to stay awake by preventing it from going into sleep mode regardless of whatever apps are also running. It allows you to quickly and easily turn on & off automatic sleep mode without having to dig through the configuration menus.
Features:
• Tapping a notification is so much easier than digging through the settings menus to find the timeout delay
• Configurable start at boot and enable at boot
• Optional (but recommended) auto-disable on low battery
• Optional auto-enable and disable on external power (i.e. the AC recharger cord)
• Optional auto-disable on manual screen shut-off
• 4 levels of 'awake' to choose from ranging from fully on to screen off but CPU continues to run
• Does not interfere with applications that already provide this functionality (i.e. the YouTube app)
• Allows the device to remain on even if Exchange policies impose a mandatory timeout
This version is support by AdMob advertisements. To remove these, please purchase the paid version.

Can't get it to work. I enable it but I just get an ad and nothing happens every time.
I can't see any option for taping and go in gallery to open image.
Trash. Ads whether you are turning it off or on 100% of the time.
Excellent! Thank you! There is just one problem that it doesn't start up enabled if the notification icon is disabled (not always..but you must check it therefore).
I don't even have the app open, yet ads from THIS piece of trash plague my YouTube, sound cloud, home and chrome. Don't download this adware!!!
It was really good on KitKat, but on Lollipop it's nearly impossible to use because of superfast battery drain and overheating (Galaxy S4). Otherwise the app does what it was intended to.
Does exactly what I need it to do and closing the ads isn't that bad or time consuming really.
Does exactly what I need it to do. Thank You.
I still can change service status from notification bar but I can't open the settings :(
The advertising that pops up every 10seconds made my phone unresponsive. This software is no good as a result. Due to this I could not properly test and cannot bring myself to spend on the full version. Forced to uninstall it to regain my phone.
Solves the "Unexpected unmount" problem!
Thanks so much for this app. I'm on numerous conference calls and use the speaker function toggling from mute back to on. Once my phone goes to sleep I can no longer toggle. The only way I could get the screen back on was to plug the phone in.
But may be mostly pointless since you can do the same thing in the settings. 5 stars because it functions as intended. And you don't have to mess with your settings and switch them back and fourth.
Thank you so much! My power button key stopped working and only way to wake phone up was to plug into my charger! This app prevents my phone from going to sleep! Really awesome since I've had the phone a little over a year, so outside manufacturers warranty!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
No more deep sleep great app it does what's says on the tin good work and thanks
Many thanks
I don't want that icon i the top left corner of my screen. This should be an option i settings to just turn it off. For that reason, I don't want to buy it. I would buy it, otherwise It seems to do what it says.
does exactly what I wanted and makes S3 super fast to wake. might kill battery though but will have to see
Everytime when app starts... Ad will be load... Very very annoying.... Worst app in terms of spam ads!!!!
I was sorely disappointed when I got a Samsung Note 2 and found it takes almost a full 2 seconds to wake it. This solves the problem. I'm going to the pay version now.
Using this with Runkeeper to keep the screen on during my runs. Works perfectly. I'll probably get the paid version to get rid of the ads.
I have this little 7in Android and tried to use it as a alarm clock, but it kept going to sleep mode. if leave the display on, it will be too bright, thanks to this application, I can now use cpu only to wake it up and set the alarm. I have tried other profile manager, somehow it does not work on tablet (phone okay), in order to keep the apps alive, I need to come out of sleep mode. This app has done perfect job!
Terrific app that eliminates the wake lag issue on Samsung Note 2 that goes to "deep sleep" soon after the screen turns off. I no longer have to wait 2 seconds before the screen turns on. What keeps me from giving this app 5 stars is the annoying and distracting yellow icon in the notification bar whether you enable or disable the app. Either (1) have a nicer more subdued notification icon than the current "goofy" and bright one or (2) have a toggle widget instead or (3) have the ability to disable or enable the notification. Thanks!
Just tried it on my note 2 and it really does work! Have to test it still though for battery usage. One thing though, there seems to be no way to disable the annoying notification that the app is active. Might be in the paid version.
This is the most user friendly way to fix the issue on the galaxy note 2 that causes a delayed wake.
Spams ads every few minutes even if the app is disabled overtop of other programs
Didnt work at all screen turned of in less time than before. In about 2 min whereas before it turned of after 10
