Screen timeout issue

I don't know if anyone else did this, but I left my game up pretty much all day yesterday so that I could continue to reap the 4x payout in SFH until all my buildings were upgraded. Last night, I finally DL the event. I'm on Android, for which it seems the release of the update had been delayed, so I wasn't too concerned about being behind.

Now, however, I'm having an issue with the screen timing out while in-game. This is not a phone setting. TSTO never times out when I play, and as I said it was up all day yesterday without timing out once. I'm not sure if I broke my game by leaving it up all day yesterday, or if this is an update issue.

Anyone else experiencing this?

    It is now controlled by the device. Just change your display setting to something longer.

    It was when I looked. At the bottom of the list in LP's post on the first update

    I noticed that too. This makes absolutely no sense, and I shouldn't have to use my phone settings to control one specific game.

    It now matches what my iPad does and I extended the time-out feature to 10 minutes for it. I absolutely do not want to do that with my Android phone. I REALLY liked how it stayed on all the time and was my preferred device for SFH tapping.

    I don't think this can be considered an issue IMO. This will be good for when the servers are packed with players, you either play the game or it closes itself so someone else can play.
