Change Settings > General > Auto-Lock to a higher number or to Never.

Some applications also have a setting that overrieds Autolock. I know some of the running apps I do have such a feature. Check the settings for the app you're using.


Keep in mind that, whether you follow Jim's intructions or use a setting provided by the app, your battery will drain much more quickly if the screen stays on all of the time.


Best of luck.
