please fix this bug where it automatically turns off from my accessibility and i have to turn iton again every one time i use it, its very annoying

My power button just broke. This helps so far, but I don't see option to turn screen on using volume button, only screen off. Fortunately shake to wake works. I'd like a volume up screen on, volume down screen off option. Edit: I thought it was randomly stopping. You have to watch ads to get run time. 3 days per ad. Not bad, but should be made clear. Also need a warning before time expiries.
