Most smartphones these days have long-living batteries, but who doesn't want their phone to last for just an hour more?
While using an app, you maybe not nessesarily need your display. So, why don’t turn it off? Up to 20% of your battery
power is consumed by the display.
FakeStandby is an Android app to turn off your screen while keeping apps running. This includes foreground jobs, which means
you can keep
listening to music on YouTube
staying online on WhatsApp and other text messengers
running your favorite game
all with your screen turned off.

What’s new
+ Added a "secure mode" switch that is activated by default. If activated, the FakeStandby will dismiss itself after a timeout. This is to prevent the users from locking themselves out of their own phone. * Fix the compatibility notification for devices without quick tile support. * Hopefully fixed a lot of issues regarding not being able to start the Accessibility Service on devices with Android 12 and newer * The app is now compiled against SDK version 31 instead of 30
How to install
Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
