[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Hi guys, Im the dev of an app that will allow you to send your Note to sleep when you shut its case. The PR is after the break.

Now that we have three high end tablets with proximity sensors (Note, 7+ and 7.7) its time we did some testing to see what sensitivities we should set in the app by default.

Please help us out with this. Simply download the free app, mess around with proximity settings until they work and report back what lever (in %) you needed.

Note that the current auto-selection prompt will only enable the light sensor if you pick "Tablet" in the first run dialog. You will need to turn the proximity detection on manually in the app's settings, as your tablets actually have this sensor!

Thanks in advance, and i hope you like the app :)

--------------------------------

Power Switch:

Power Switch is a tool for devices with cases - somewhat like the SmartCover, it will turn off the screen when you shut the case. If you have a device with poor

battery life, Power Switch can save tons of juice by switching it off entirely after a given amount of time asleep.

The app works best on phones using the proximity sensor. On tablets, the light sensor is the most efficient method of knowing that the case has been closed.

Features:

- Sleep seconds after shutting case

- Automatic shutdown (rooted devices only)

- Set up a schedule using Night Mode

- Configure sensor sensitivity

- Facedown to turn screen off

- Persistent notification

- Plays sound to let you know that the screen has turned off

The app has gone through an extensive testing process here at XDA under another name. Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen, you're the best!

Remember to adjust the light sensor sensitivity settings in a light environment for best performance, and use Night Mode if you are on a tablet with a poor ambient light sensor.

If you have any comments or suggestions, please use this thread or the in-app feedback tool. Please be aware that we ignore logs without descriptions.

The Lite version of the app is exactly the same as the Pro, only the timers are restricted to a minimum of twelve seconds.

hi thanks for posting here

I have tired ur app in the past and found that will note there are issues( not with just ur app but any app of the same kind- its something to do with proximity sensor )

Does it work Deep-Sleep-friendly?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
What the hell is deep sleep friendly?

It works like pressing the power button, except it uses the sensors.

Now, please, lets get back on topic, read the OP!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] jimbob456:
He means does the app stop the phone from going into deep sleep, therefore using more battery. I've been using it for a few days and i think that it does affect the deep sleep as mine is at 200mhz most of the time now.

I think that the app works well with the original flip cover and the audible notice is a nice touch
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
No, in android sleep is sleep. All apps will shut down unless they have a push service. The sensors will also shut down.

Basically all the app does is press the power button for you, nothing else.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] jimbob456:
I'll have to investigate and see what's keeping it awake then

Read your thread.Your findings are absolutely correct.

I have posted same issue somewhere else. But when i have used both sensor Proximity + Light, it was worked for Me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] jeromepearce:
battery hog?

I am using it, and it seems to work OK apart from some false positives when browsing in landscape. The 'go away until next screen off' is a good option!

I am finding it is taking quite a significant %age of battery, however. Not killing the phone, but 5% when my screen is only at 18% (a light-use day).

Anything that is going to hog 5% of my precious battery is going to be looking nervously at the door. I'll try it some different use scenarios, but I think I'll just settle for the 1 min time-out. Really, if I am not doing anything with my Note for a minute, I've either fallen asleep or put it down!

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] polarbearmc:
anyone else have this where every so often, maybe 1 out of 10 times, when i hit home from an app or something, i get the MyTouch logo for like 2 seconds and then a little notification box that says Loading... for probably 3 or 4 seconds, before the home screen comes up? just thought it was weird since most of the time it doesn't have to load to get to the home screen.

thanks
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:
I use to get that all the time, when i changed my launcher it stopped doing that, this makes me believe that its a bug
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Do you use a task killer?

If so that's why.

This is caused by Android not being ready to show your homescreen, so either you were using a very resource intensive app, have a couple resource heavy apps running, an app is coded poorly, or you are using a task killer and screwed up the data for some of your apps.

What version of what are you running? That may help pinpoint your problem.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:
no task killers, i hate those, they do more harm than good although the phone comes with a task killer of its own in the quick settings i dont use it. i dont really put apps in the background, im always trying to save memory when i can so i completely close every app when im finish with it mostly happens when exiting from dolphin hd. Also all my apps are on the latest version and so is my os.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] polarbearmc:
my old g2 couldn't survive without a taskkillers. not gonna get into the whole taskkiller vs no taskkiller debate. i've read all the articles and it simply wasn't true for me. they helped alot.

that being said though i have no taskkiller. and i'm not using any custom launcher and i'm not rooted. just using a stock mytouch4g. i have a few widgets loaded of course. like 5 i think total, most of which are stock sense widgets (the clock/weather one, the photo gallery one).
[General Questions and Answers] lotzet:
dear all,

this is my first thread - I used the search (as usual) but this time neither XDA forums nor goolge could find a answer for my issue... so lets go:

I have a working VPN connection (openVPN) to my QNAP NAS. Furthermore I am able to mount my QNAP on the sdcard - so far everything is great ( I am able to listen to my music and have access to all my files from anywhere)

BUT: whatever I try I do not get write access at this folders...

setup:

- VPN connection via "OpenVPN Settings"-app

- mounting with "Script Manager"-app

code:

#!systm/bin/sh

#insmod /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko

mount -t cifs -o username=user, password=pass, -rw 'host' /sdcard/nas

I am not familiar with linux at all. I just googled for several ideas and connected them.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Providing users with a free alternative is most certainly cool.

It's up to you, as a developer, to give the users a reason to purchase YOUR application with features which the other developers don't offer.

Adding people to your ignore list is obtuse, it shows you're not open to fair competition and gives the users another reason NOT to go for your paid apps.

Try fixing it with a "straight pin", a pair of 2x glasses helps. If you smashed it back, you are just going to have to play with it.

If you really want to stay with android 2.2 you cannot go past blay0's froyo.

Oh btw follow the guides available on xda for flashing new rom's.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matte_sf2:
i would like 2.2 because your able to move apps to sd card, is that able on all custom rooms?
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger4740:
Forget apps2sd, that is the crappy meathod of making more space not every app can be moved either, best method is to partition your SD card to enclude an ext partition then use a2sd or dat2ext,

Blay0's froyo has native a2sd.

I really think you need to do some more reading in the forums. If your going to root your phone then you want to take advantage of the full benefits rooting has to offer otherwise just stick to the stock version of froyo...

Anyway just my opinion.
