There are many great apps you can try on your Google Nexus 6 device after getting root access. One of the apps you might want to check out is the Screen Standby app. If you cannot seem to tweak your settings to get your screen to standby correctly, the Screen Standby app might be the app for you. With it you can put an end to that screen timeout that is causing your device to lose connection when the screen is off. It’s also useful for saving the battery.
