I was ecstatic when I found an article on using an old tablet for viewing the GX gui. I have one issue that I cannot find a setting for, I expected to find a way to keep the tablet screen on, and unlocked in the display settings. I may be blind, as I cannot, I am assuming it replaced the Android OS, where those settings would normally be. Did it? If not, how the heck to I change the display timeout settings? Under display settings I can change to dark mode, change its appearance, change start pages and edit some of the pages, data units, min max ranges, animations and which interface old or new.
I updated it to v3.73 yesterday to see if something was added, no joy. I’ve tried swiping up, down sideways.. Is there an underlying Android OS that would have the display settings? The screen goes black in seconds. not even minutes.
I hope I am being obtuse and its right in front of me.. but I sure as heck cannot see those settings in the settings screen. -Bill
It’s an app that runs on top of Android, it doesn’t replace Android.
The settings menu including display settings is described in the installation and operation manual here: 4. Service menu
Thanks Justin! Even after reading it my tablet took a bit of trial and error. Seems my particular ole onn tablet needed a lot of pressing all around that corner to get that menu to pop up. But now its working as I was hoping. Thanks Again. -Bill
