Phone Goes Into Sleep Mode and Disconnects

QUESTION:

When I stream for a little while and don’t touch my phone it goes into sleep mode which disconnects the stream and shuts down the application.  How can I get my phone to stay on?

ANSWER:

You will need to change the phone settings as this is a behavior of the phone itself, rather than the software of Red5 Pro.  For more on how to do that programmatically, please see the following documentation:
