## Description

Wake Lock - CPU Awake is a simple yet reliable Chrome extension designed to prevent your Android device from going into sleep mode. It ensures your CPU stays awake during crucial activities such as browsing the internet, downloading large files, using USB devices, or reading books. Users can easily select the desired duration to keep the device awake via intuitive sliders and customize the screen and keyboard lamp brightness, including options for dim, bright, or off.

Activation is straightforward with a dedicated button, and users receive a notification confirming the wake lock status. The extension leverages Android's native wake lock capabilities to guarantee consistent performance. This tool is especially valuable when maintaining Wi-Fi connectivity or preventing interruptions during prolonged usage. Note that the app displays ads to support its development.

## Review summary

Users praise the app for effectively preventing device freezing and improving CPU wakefulness, especially on older Samsung devices like Note 4, extending their usability. It is appreciated for its simple, ad-free interface and efficiency in battery usage compared to alternatives. However, its effectiveness on Android 10 is questionable, and some users report the wake lock not sustaining indefinitely. There are also issues with activation conditions and slight battery drain increase during operation.

### Pros

- Helps keep CPU awake during sleep mode to improve device responsiveness.
- Simple and ad-free user experience.
- Does not consume much battery compared to similar power manager apps.
- Has revived older devices and extended their lifespan.

### Cons

- Does not work properly on Android 10 and above for some users.
- Lock does not always stay active indefinitely; loses wake lock after a while.
- Activation controls (e.g., only on wifi/data) do not always function as expected.
- Some issues with battery compatibility; ineffective if battery is old or swapped.
- Causes increased battery drain when running continuously.
