I have an android device where my company has set the auto-screen timeout feature. SmartRace still runs, and runs in screen-casting mode, but the phone itself blacks out the display and I have to press the power button to access the SmartRace screen on the phone to do things like pause the race.
I note that YouTube seems to be able to keep the display open indefinitely, and I'm hoping you could turn that feature on in SmartRace.
Thank you for your consideration
Hi there,
could you please let me know which device and which version of Android you're using? Thanks!

Can you confirm that the screen blacks out when SmartRace is in visible in the foreground (meaning its visible on the screen, not running in the background)?
Yes, confirm - although I should clarify: I am using "Samsung Smart Things" to broadcast SmartRace to a TV, and the TV always displays SmartRace and does not black out. The phone itself (and therefore the touchscreen) does black out while SmartRace is running when attached to the TV. I will test today to see if it blacks out when it is not connected to the TV.
Please feel free to re-open with any new info and if it indeed turns out to be a bug in SmartRace. :-)
