S8 Ultra tablet and timeout issue.

I would like to preface this by saying, that this is the best tablet I have ever owned, and I've had a few.

So, onto my question:

Is there a way to extend the power off from 10 mins. I like to put my tablet by the bathroom door (well away from any moisture), so I can listen to music whist I soak in the tub. As it is, it turns off the sound and screen after 10 minutes if it's running on battery. Other that running an extension cord from one room to another, which is a pain.

Does anyone have any ideas how I could achieve this?

Thanks

Might be able to set something up in the Samsung routines app

Try Settings->Battery and device care->Battery->Background Usage Limits-> add your music app to the Never Sleeping Apps

Thanks for this.. Initially when I went into Never Sleeping App, my music app, Poweramp was not listed. A bit of looking around the web and found the solution. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, then it was listed in never sleep.. And it works a treat.

Thank you!
