How do you keep you screen lit longer?

My screen goes dark too fast. I just had my phone reset and can't figure out how to keep the screen light longer.

iPhone 4S

If you mean by it locking or the screen going to the lock screen, you would have to go to your settings, then go to general, and then go to "auto-lock". There, you can program how many minutes it would take for your screen to darken.

Hope this helps!

I beg to disagree with you. Touching Auto-Lock and choosing the option Never will keep the screen lighted because on mine the screen remained lighted,

How can you disagree with me when we're saying the same thing? Yes, Auto-lock>Never keeps the screen lit all the time. I said that in my post. What you originally asked for was a way to keep the iPhone lit only when plugged in. Auto-lock>Never does not do that.

Because my comment was about my 6s plus and I stated I don't know about the other iPhone but on my 6s plus it's Settings, Brightness and Display, Auto-Lock and Never and you came in and tried to rip it to pieces and made absolutely clear it was going to be you way or none. As I've already stated we can keep this going until **** Freezes over If You Are So Inclined.

I've been nothing but civil to you. I don't know what has your knickers in such a twist but, no, really, I've no interest in prolonging my agony.
