How to make the screen Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro not turned off: all working methods

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro screen automatically goes out after 30 seconds, a minute or 5 minutes of inactivity — this is standard MIUI behavior designed to save battery power. However, in some scenarios, constant display lighting becomes a necessity: reading recipes in the kitchen, using the phone as a navigator, viewing long articles or monitoring notifications. Fortunately, you can turn off the screen auto-turn in several ways — both with regular MIUI tools, and using hidden functions or third-party utilities.

In this article, we’ll look at all the current methods for the Redmi Note 10 Pro (sweet/sweetin models), including system settings, ADB commands, Google Play apps, and even hardware solutions. We’ll focus on the nuances of working with MIUI 12/13/14 – some of the parameters in new firmware versions are hidden or moved. If you’re looking for a way to keep the screen on all the time (or at least longer than the standard 10 minutes), read on.

Standard MIUI settings: maximum latency

The most obvious and safe way to do this is to increase your screen sleep timer through the settings menu. On the Redmi Note 10 Pro, the maximum value available depends on the MIUI version:

• 📱 MIUI 12/13: before 10 minutes (default) 30 seconds 1 minute).
• 🔄 MIUI 14: Up to 30 minutes (in some regional firmware).
• ⚠️ On devices with power saving mode, the maximum time can be limited to 2 minutes.

To change the parameter:

1. Open the Settings → Screen.
2. Select the item "Sleep" after (or timeout screen in English firmware).
3. Set the maximum value available (e.g. 10 minutes).

⚠️ Note: If the list is not 30 minutes, your firmware is not supporting it. MIUI Up to the latest version or use alternative methods from the following sections.

This is a good way for most users, but it doesn't solve the problem completely -- the screen will still go out in 10 to 30 minutes. It's going to require some manipulation to really keep the lights on.

2.Developer Mode: Turning off sleep when charging

The Redmi Note 10 Pro has a useful setting that allows you to keep the screen on only while charging, which is convenient if you use the phone as a media player, a navigator in the car or a device for video instructions.

1. Go to Settings. → The phone.
2. Click 7 times on MIUI until you become a developer!
3. Return to the main settings menu and open a new section → For developers.
4. Find the option to Stay on while charging (or Stay awake) and activate it.

Now the screen won't go out while the device is connected to the charger.

• 🔋 It only works when powered from the network (not from Power Bank or wireless charging).
• 📉 It can slightly speed up battery wear with prolonged use.
• 🔒 Some firmware (e.g, MIUI EU) Require additional permission in the settings → Annexes → Permits → Special access → Optimizing the battery.

💡

If the Stay awake option is not on the developer menu, try resetting your phone to factory settings (with data saved).

3. ADB-commands: forced shutdown of the sleep timer

For advanced users, there is a way to completely disable the auto-turn off screen via Android Debug Bridge (ADB), which works on any MIUI firmware, but requires the phone to be connected to a computer, the advantage is that the screen will remain on regardless of charging.

Instructions:

1. Download and install ADB Tools on PC.
2. Activate Developer Mode (as in the previous section) and enable USB Debugging in Settings → For Developers.
3. Connect the Redmi Note 10 Pro to your computer and type in the command line:

adb shell settings put global stay_on_while_plugged_in 3

Where 3 is the “always on” mode (alternative values: 1 – only when charging from the network, 2 – when charging from USB).

To return the standard behavior, do:

adb shell settings put global stay_on_while_plugged_in 0

⚠️ Note: After restarting the phone or updating MIUI setting ADB To fix the effect, use the Tasker app (see section 5) or repeat the command after each device is turned on.

Special applications for permanent illumination

If you don't want to mess with settings or ADB, you can use third-party utilities from Google Play that mimic user activity or block the transition to sleep mode.

How to set up Keep Screen On (example:)

1. Install the app from Google Play.
2. Run it and grant permission to Display over other apps (display over other apps).
3. Turn on the Enable Service switch.
4. In the Apps section, select programs that need to turn off your sleep timer (such as Google Maps or YouTube).

Important: Some applications (e.g. Caffeine) may conflict with the energy-saving MIUI features. If the screen goes out anyway, add the utility to the battery optimization exception list: Settings → Applications → Battery Management → Application selection.

5. Automation with Tasker: Flexible backlight control

For those who want complete control over screen behavior, Tasker is the perfect app, which allows you to create rules like "if [condition], then [action]." For example, you can configure:

• 📱 Turn on constant lighting only for specific applications (navigator, messenger).
• 🔋 Turn off your sleep timer when you connect to charging and launching YouTube.
• ⏱️ Set different waiting times depending on the time of day.

Example of profile for Redmi Note 10 Pro:

1. Install Tasker and provide all the permissions requested.
2. Create a new profile (+ → App) and select a targeted application (like Waze).
3. Add a task (+ → New task) with Display → Display Timeout action.
4. Set the value 2147483647 (maximum integer, equivalent to "never").
5. Save the profile and activate it.

To cancel the rule when leaving the application, add the Exit Task task with the return of a standard timeout (for example, 300 seconds = 5 minutes).

Hardware solutions: Always on display (AOD)

If you need to turn off your sleep timer less than to have minimal backlight to display time and notifications, use the Always On Display (AOD) feature. On the Redmi Note 10 Pro, it works differently than on Xiaomi flagships, but it's also useful:

How to turn on:

1. Go to Settings → Screen → Always-on display and lock.
2. Select the display style (e.g., Dial or Minimalist).
3. Set up a schedule (for example, from 8:00 to 22:00).
4. Activate the option to Show at notifications.

The AOD on the Redmi Note 10 Pro has limitations:

• 🔋 Consuming. ~1–2% charge per hour (depending on brightness).
• 📵 Does not work with a battery under 15%.
• 🔒 Some firmware requires switching off Adaptive Brightness.

To save energy, combine AOD with power saving mode: Settings → Battery → Power saving mode → Turn on. This will reduce consumption, but may limit the background activity of applications.

7 Problems and Solutions: Why the Screen Is Still Going Out

• 🔄 Updates MIUI: in some versions of the firmware (for example, MIUI 13.0.6) were screen-controlled bugs. Update to the latest stable version.
• 🛠️ Resetting: Reset to factory settings (with data saved) via Settings → Additionally. → Recovery and discharge.
• 📱 Hardware malfunctions: If the screen goes out immediately after turning on or flickers, this may indicate a problem with the display plume or battery.

💡

On the Redmi Note. 10 Pro with firmware MIUI 14+ certain methods, for example, ADB-Teams may require additional permission android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS, which is only available through Magisk or root access.
