How can I get "Always on when USB connected" display feature on Samsung Vibrant running Android Froyo 2.2? I used to love it on 2.1 Eclair but when I upgraded to 2.2 it is gone. Any trick to get it back?

After some research I found some app on Market that sets this global setting ('StayAwake'). Missing setting looks like Samsung or TMO customization. I'm running official TMO 2.2 update (T959UVKA6) installed via miniKies

@Al Everett: thanks @Matthew Read: 'StayAwake' but I think that should be part of standard settings. Is this Samsung or TMO customization?– AlexMSUFeb 19, 2011 at 16:51

Link to the StayAwake application: market.android.com/… . Seems to work on my Galaxy S– EdelcomApr 10, 2011 at 5:26
If it is not in that menu it is probably no longer supported by default. You could likely achieve the same effect with either Tasker or Android scripting environment though.
Somewhat related to developing, though...
Homescreen>Menu button>Settings>Applications>Development>Stay awake
That's what it is like for AOSP phones, not sure about the vibrant.

Under 'Development' I see only 'USB debugging' and 'Allow mock locations'– AlexMSUFeb 18, 2011 at 19:40

I have this option on my 2.2 Vibrant. Are you running a custom ROM? Feb 18, 2011 at 19:52

@somehume Modded KB1 (Bionix). Pretty sure it's been the same on all the 2.2 builds I've had though. Apr 15, 2011 at 12:46
