@dfscott,

I can definitely see where that could come in handy similar to the "Smart Stay" feature. I will be moving this over to the feedback/feature request section of the Android forum so that others can vote on it to be included in Evernote.

Could you provide a link to this please? I just searched through all 14 pages of the features request section and could not find it!

Hello @dfscott,

Thank you for posting and welcome to the forums. When you are editing the note, it is by design that the screen not be turned off based on the screen timeout settings. This was put in place so that you can read over what was in your note without having to worry about the screen timing out of having to put in your PIN again. Keeping you productive while using Evernote on Android.

Understood. However, not all users use the app in the same way. There are many (including those who have posted in this forum and others who don't have the patience to log in and request the feature in this forum) who would prefer the app to allow the device screen to go off as with most normal apps. Users determine their usage of apps, not developers. Remember that this topic was started over 5 years ago in another forum and yet Evernote has not done anything about it. Maybe it's time to move to another note app. Thanks for a competitive market in Play Store!

Unbelievable! This topic had started in 2011 and even after 5 years there is no solution from Evernote!

I can understand some users may want the screen to stay on so at least give an option for users who don't. It can't be that difficult right?

The lack of support for such a basic feature may lead many to move to another note app.
