Or hold it open while Bluetooth active and in use?

Would be extremely useful to have my screen stay open while phone is playing music in the car. Phone is a Samsung A31 running Android 12, although I have had the same issue on other devices running different versions of Android so not sure its relevant.

    Does your phone have Samsung Modes and Routines? If so, you can make a Mode that sets Display to Always On.

          Actually there is, you just gotta pay is all, but the amount is fairly trifling as far as I’m concerned. Thanks to @Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works I have a solution, one that nobody at reddit ever was able to come up with when I asked about it a while back

    There are a few apps that can do this on a per app basis like wakey but they require a purchase.

    Personally I just use Waze and the yt music integration, waze on its own keeps the screen on

    There also xposed modules but that requires a rooted phone.

      Thank you! I dont have Waze, I am trying Wakey now, I think that should do the job. I dont mind paying the small amount they want for the functionality it gives me
