Hi Didier, does this software allow the screen to turn off while it’s running? I am thinking of buying one of these phones for this specific purpose and I want the battery to last as long as possible. Thanks

@Andrew Yes, when I use this program, the backlight turns of on my Nokia like with any other program if I don’t press keys.

@Andrew
If u go for a nokia smart phone (a slider or a touch bar) it will have a lock/unlock key which will immediately turn off the screen.
This is a python script. So the nokia device should have latest python framwork installed for this to work, but even I don’t know whether this needs compilation or just saving this code to a .py file is enought 😉
