Hi guys, after my account was banned from Play Store, I decided to move all apps on Amazon App Shop for free. :good:

Here you can download last version of Smart Screen OFF PRO.

Smart Screen OFF PRO

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014TKA9VQ

I'll add other apps I developed in the next few weeks.
[Android Apps and Games] HoosierFDaddy:
I have an issue on a Note 4 (n910t) sometimes where the phone will turn off like it should, but then turns back on and off repeatedly until I flip it again or put back in my pocket. Had to turn on vibrate to realize how often it happens. About 1 out of every 10 or so tries.
[Android Apps and Games] IanHe:
Help Please

I can't unlock it because everytime I touch the screen the tap sensor locks my screen
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
The Proximity Sensor works in binary mode, 1 or 0, on or off, without any intermediate values. Someone told me it the range can be changed if you modify build.prop file with root access. But this is not what I want. I would like everyone can use my app, with or without root.

So I'm trying to implement a combination with light sensor. The only problem is that the light sensor built in Android phone are not the best sensor on the market and every device has different sensos. In other words, in low light conditions this could not work as expected. I'm working on this at the moment :)

1) How can I tell free users in a simple UI like mine, that exists a pro version of the app and put a link to it? I think that's the best way.

I'm sorry you gave 2/5 only because you can't switch it on/off through the notification bar.

2) You can turn it off by clicking on the icon...

I'm working on light sensor at the moment but without a proximity sensor it wouldn't be the best choise.

The idea is to make the app as fast as possible:

I don't need the phone anymore? I'll put it into the poket (without touching anything);

I need the phone again? I'll remove it from the poket. (without touching anything);

I think this concept will never change.
[Android Apps and Games] dafunk2:
Yes, agree.

Very useful app, thanks.

Can you point me to that wonderful wallpaper of your screenshots please?

Many thanks in advance D,

dafunk

I'm happy you like the app :) .

I sent you a pm with the information on how to find the wallpaper.

I use LG p990.

Is there possible to turn off wifi with that app?
[Android Apps and Games] Tiggerbits:
Nice idea for an app!

Just downloaded the LITE version and tried in on my Galaxy nexus, encounter an issue in the first 30seconds, it cause my phone to reboot when i disable it??!
[Android Apps and Games] j_svas:
Thanks for this nice app, tested the lite version.

Few observations:

a) Observed very very low or no impact on battery. Great.

b) Not consistent! Though show in notification, and in on position, suddenly stops working! I mean screen will not go off or come on! Need to again start and stop for it to resume working!

It will be great if you can fix this on consistency please. This may be because of opening 2-3 heavy apps like market and browser the Smart screen is getting killed in background?
[Android Apps and Games] 10507:
Can you add function for light sensor as well?
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
What would be the goal of turning off wifi with an app like mine?

This is really strange, since I didn't encounter this issue on my Galaxy Nexus (the device i test it hardly on). Maybe there's an incompatibility with another app who have installed and works in background.

Yes I think is because the service has been killed because of low memory. I'll try to implement a service who can't be killed in future versions!

I'll quote what I answered to another user:

The Proximity Sensor works in binary mode, 1 or 0, on or off, without any intermediate values. Someone told me it the range can be changed if you modify build.prop file with root access. But this is not what I want. I would like everyone can use my app, with or without root.

How do I dissable it?
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
Same problem as other screen off application with G-Note with Cover. It gets wakeup after just screen off with galaxy note cover, i know this is not application error but limitation of sensor, if you add light sensor combination with proximity sensor, it should get work. It is absolutely fine when test with finger, but black colored G-note cover causing problem.

you can test with pure black paper, when it gets in complete touch with proximity sensor, screen will wakeup again.

One thing i like to add, compare to other same app i have tried, this is really fast n clean. I expect to get light sensor option for G-Note user in next release.
[Android Apps and Games] hutzdani:
First off great app :-) got the pro paid Ver just now.

I'd like to see a hide icon option in the settings as i don't like colour icons appearing on my nice black and white theme.

this would make it have a more integrated feel also :-)
[Android Apps and Games] motodroidfreak:
I Agree great concept I just dont like apps that are always in the notification bar. I can turn it off but that pesky little icon is still there.... ui is still useless for free... just remove it....
[Android Apps and Games] SektorZero:
Great! Works in LG c660h

Or just use the google picture search with his screenshot from the market.
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
No, the app is coded not to drain battery! Smart Screen Off really consume NOTHING :)

I've been using it from 2 months and the sensor is still working perfectly.

Just click on the icon to enable it... click again to disable it.

As you said, it's not an application error, it's the sensor built in smartphones which is of really low quality. I'm trying to implement light sensor in pro version.

The PRO version

does

have an option to disable icon, did you checked it?
[Android Apps and Games] wallacel:
wont work on galaxy tab with book cover, when cover is almost complete close, screen is off. but when it actually closed completely screnn turns back, behaviour is same as other similar apps in yhe market
[Android Apps and Games] eleazar123:
I love the idea of this app.

Any chance you could add a "delay" option? It turns my galaxy nexus off as soon as I reach above the screen to pull down the notification bar. I'd love an option to only turn off the screen after 10 seconds of close proximity.

I use a holster, so I'd love to be able to put the phone in the holster without having to think about locking it.

The delay option would remove accidental triggers (ie. when just using the phone) and enable me to use my holster to lock the phone. :)
[Android Apps and Games] FMAranda:
Lifehacker made a review about your app DDeleted, I came from there:

http://lifehacker.com/5888528/smart...-off-automatically-when-the-screen-is-covered

Thanks and congratulations about the app, it's very useful.
[Android Apps and Games] Hamletiano:
Hi all,

I have been using the free version for a little while, after seeing how well it worked, i bought today the PRO version, with a very reasonable price (0.99 cents).

This PRO version has more features, however it had a little issue with the icon being transparent but still there in notification area.

After mailing with DDeleted, who really listened and thanked my feedback, he will make an update with some improvements(no more messages in notification area nor transparent icon), which in my opinion, will make this app simply perfect.

I do recommend this app in pro version. :)
[Android Apps and Games] dyndragon:
I would code in some sort of hysteresis to cut down on the flickering, kind of like how in CM the brightness and light sensor have to cut down on rapid brightness changing when auto-brightness is enabled. Otherwise, pretty decent app.
[Android Apps and Games] XxMysteriousxX:
Thanks for this awesome app

Sorry for the wait. I'm currently testing the new features before releasing the new PRO version.

Fixed transparent icon"
Added "Hide icon"
Added "Hide notification messages"
Added new icon in drawer to access settings

[Android Apps and Games] Hamletiano:
Thanks for the update,

Everything´s working perfectly!:)
[Android Apps and Games] MikesOnline:
If you can make this work with youtube so that the audio continues when the screen is off I would purchase the app.
[Android Apps and Games] k.janku1:
thanks, very useful
[Android Apps and Games] xips:
Love this utility. Running SSO on a LG Optimus VM670. When I set Airplane Mode on, Smart Screen off works by turning screen off but doesn't want to turn the screen back on normally. I have to hit any button to turn screen on. Is this normal?
[Android Apps and Games] BenKranged:
If it can turn the screen back on, does the phone ever enter deep sleep when using this?
[Android Apps and Games] wallacel:
Will u update the free version as well? Gotta try it to see if it works before buying
[Android Apps and Games] lichongwei:
nice apps to fully utilize the proximity sensor!!! :D:D
[Android Apps and Games] Hamletiano:
It does, it works like a charm and consume nothing.

i checked all my stats and the phone is always in deep idle (or deep sleep) depending on what you use.

That feature would be amazing!!!.Not only with youtube but any videoplayer (i tried with MXPlayer and music stopped when turned the screen off. What do you say Ddeleted? Any possibility to do it?:rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
It wouldn't be possible, because every developers when writes an application decide what to do when the app is paused (screen goes off for example).

If Google has decided for YouTube to stop playing video when paused (and it has decided so), then is not possible to do this.
[Android Apps and Games] MikesOnline:
That's what I figured, but I thought I would ask. Still a great app though.
[Android Apps and Games] Hamletiano:
Oooh, what a pity! nvm this app is excellent...thanks anyway. would be possible to have only one icon in the app desk?maybe the on/off icon (or its function) could be included in the settings icon one? or you guys prefer having 2?:)
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
I've been forced to create another icon because a lot of user made a complaint about the notification icon (with window) always present in the notification area (that was the only way to access settings). I made that decision in order not to create a Settings self icon. But users prefer having 2 icons instead than the notification icon/window. :)
[Android Apps and Games] chuko303:
Can't seem to turn it off!!! Got the paid version and even when I enable the shake to wake option still don't work...and if I Tap on the notification still won't work so how do I dissable this thing ?
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
Please be more clear. Is your problem that you can't turn off the app? Why not? What does it happen?

What features have you checked?
[Android Apps and Games] chuko303:
Works great now bro!! Idk why it was acting up lol but works great very handy espeacialy since I hace a holdster that cover my whole front screen (witch is AWESOME btw)
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
If you want to support me, you can thank me by giving a 5 star rating on the market :)

And guys, the new version with Light Sensor compatibility is about to come (you can set sensitivity) ! On my Galaxy Nexus works perfectly but now I'm tryng to make it compatible with all smartphones (unfortunately sensor on cheaper devices are very poor and the light feature couldn't work as expected [I hope not].

:eek:
[Android Apps and Games] dscatto:
Great app! I just wish I could turn the constant notification off in the bar w/o having to buy the app. I understand there has to be a reason to buy the app otherwise no one would, lol! However, It's better than ads!
[Android Apps and Games] XDroidie626:
Just had a quick go with the lite version and its brilliant! altho pressing my screen off button doesnt bother me, this should work at college for quick hides :) Thanks and keep up the good work! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Ozonethegreat:
It's either a shame or lack of foresight when all of your paid features (except for hide notification) can be replicated using tasker, which is a one time purchase, for free. Might as well have made the app to hide those features to keep from doing that. Speaking of which, what is the point of including options Noone can use unless they pay for the app? Most other apps in the market that has features you need to pay for as either not included or blanked out or don't show, but with your app, you give the false impression that these options can be used.

In either case, I see no reason to pay for the app if I can use your paid options for free using tasker. Tasker can also make it where it only works for the only reason why I got the app- during phone calls. You don't even have that option! So for me, and others like me, there needs to be more incentive to even consider paying an extra cost to use your app. Like more features and control on how it actually functions that I cant squeeze out using tasker. I'll gladly pay for it then.

Tasker pretty much renders your paid options useless unless people really want to hide the notification, but for me, I don't mind it there because that's how I know it working when I need it to.
[Android Apps and Games] Hamletiano:
Well,maybe you can also make the huge invest of 0.99 cents of euro (even cheaper with dollars) and show some "love" to a developer who has done an app that you use. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
I understand your point of view, I'm a user who buys app too. But you have to understand developers too. I work hard to make sure my app works on most phones (which is harder than developing on iPhone). I spend a lot of time coding and a 0.99€ it's a good pay for the work I do, imho. If one preferes to buy tasker which costs 6.49$, then it's better for him. But I have to pay my study at the university and a 0.99 cents for a lot of cool features is not that bad :)

By the way, the 1.3 version is out!

The light combo works great with the recent smartphones like Galaxy Nexus and

could not work good with old smartphone, because the built in sensor is of poor quality. This does not depend on my app :o

[1.3] [B]Added Sensitivity[/B]
[B] Light Sensor Combo[/B]
Ui improvements
Improved battery usage
[Android Apps and Games] Hamletiano:
Thanks for the update.

Installed and working great.
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
Some clarification about the screen feature's working:

You have to test the app light feature at daylight the first times (or by night with a reading lamp turning it on and off).

The sensitivity can be set from both the seekbar and the plus and minus buttons. In my case I don't need to move the seekbar

because the Galaxy Nexus is a recent smartphone and the built in light sensor is quite good (if your sensor is good, when you open

the calibration activity you will see the "Current:" value changing fast when you move the phone in direction of the sun or in the pockets.

You will see very little gaps : the current value will change from the minimum (when you put it in the pockets where there's no light and

the maximum (when you put a lamp very close to the sensor).

Once you do the calibration, you set the minimum value, and when you enable the light feature the sensor will try to understand if the minimum

value is reached (when put into pockets). If your sensor has little gaps value (and I think so), you should only use plus button or minus button.

The buttons (and the seekbar too, but too strongly) will change the minimum value so that the Light + proximity feature will start only if

the mimimum value is reached:

if your minimum value after calibration is 4.0, then it will start the service only if there's no light (or very low condition of light). So the screen will turn off only when you put it in the pockets.

if you change the minimum value to 7, then the service will be started even a moment before you put it into the pockets.

Maybe I will do an user guide to help you guys find the right settings.
[Android Apps and Games] wallacel:
Not working at all on galaxy tab 7.7 when combo is enabled. Proximity alone works fine but too sensitive, whenever my finger/hand wave over it will turn off the screen. What I really want is to turn off only when the device is closed by the book cover.
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
Which value did you set the sensitivity?

Since a few user are experiencing problems understanding the light sensor settings, I'm working to try to implement a timer delay for the proximity sensor to activate.

I hope I'll succeed.
[Android Apps and Games] wallacel:
I am using the defaults for sensitivity. My device light sensor values read as:

Max: 3000

Min: 12

When light on it is 1200
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
Does it go directly form 12 to 100 (for example) or from 12 to 13 when light condition change a little?

And are you sure calibration gives you always the same value when is completely covered?
[Android Apps and Games] wallacel:
Values are:

12 (no light)->120->1200->12000 (brightest light source)
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
This means that your built in light sensor is of poor quality. If you set it good, it should work (altough won't work great).

But don't care about it, I have just implemented what people is waiting since first release, the timer delay :)

Just give me some time to test it accurately before publishing it.
[Android Apps and Games] wallacel:
Thanks.

Actually proximity alone works fine, it is just too sensitive, a delay would be great!
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
1.4 changelog:

[1.4] Added "[B]Enable adjustable time delay[/B]"
Added "Vibrate when object is near proximity sensor"
Bug fixes (improved speed)
Now you have to click on the text to show light sensor instructions

[Android Apps and Games] KyoceraEchoHax:
cant uninstall.

well mates. seems me nor my brother can uninstall the app. he has the evo 4g and i have the echo. i got root he dont. please get a fix for this.
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
Could you be clearer? What message you get when you try to uninstall it?

The app doesn't ask for any admin permissions, so it should be uninstalled like other apps.

[1.5] Changelog

[1.5] Added a new state (BLUE ICON):
This means that the app is "acquiring" data if the "light sensor combo" feature is active;
And means that the app is waiting for you to cover the proximity sensor if "timer delay" feature is active
Now is easier to understand if Smart Screen Off is active or not.

Permissions

Good app, but what about permissions?
[Android Apps and Games] Silvane:
Been using this app for a while now and have been considering buying the pro version, but now it says it isn't compatible with my phone? It wasn't like that before. Free version is still compatible though.
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
Free version:

System tools

prevent device from sleeping

Allows an application to prevent the device from going to sleep.

For the PRO version:

Hardware controls

control vibrator

Allows the application to control the vibrator.

System tools

automatically start at boot

The PRO version add the Light sensor compatibility: does your phone have one?

Try to install a light meter app to see if light sensor works.
[Android Apps and Games] KyoceraEchoHax:
I uninstalled it on his phone. Me being the dumb one forgot to uncheck device admin. :-). Great app by the way. I amused all my friends by waving my hand in front of the screen to shut it off.

if I see my proximity sensor I see in it a small red light. Why? only when your program is active. What is it that light?:confused::confused:
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
As far as I know this should happen only when you point a camera on your device (it can be seen only with a digital eye). Do you see it with your eyes?

If yes:

1) turn my app off;

2) make a call and cover sensor until screen turns off.

Does the light turns on?

Something about this on Google
[Android Apps and Games] iscio:
yes I see it with my eyes. it this the same light that it is on it when I do a call. It seems that sensor becames red when in use

Hello, I too have a Samsung 7.7 tab. I purchased the Pro version tonight, but I seem to be having a similar issue to wallacel. When I close the book cover, the screen goes off, then turns right back on. Then when i open the cover, about 1/4 of the way the screen will shut off again. I have played with the settings, but it does not seem to change anything. Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] Cellulah:
Hey, is it possible to lock the screen when the proximity sensor is covered? I'd really like that!
[Android Apps and Games] j_svas:
Thanks and a request

Hi DDeleted,

Well waiting for this type of app, bought the pro version from market and trying to get used the setting and style. Very happy to use this small tool and like the way it changes colours :-) + low battery footprint.

Few observations:

a. last time you promised you will update :-), when i open a heavy game, this service gets stopped i guess and won’t start again... may be you have to make it persisting?

b. I am using TMOUS HD2 Some of the settings need a phone re start to properly reflect!

c. Sometimes there is a remarkable delay (needs a button press also sometime) to light up the screen though i am not using any delays in the settings! (need your suggestion/ fix please, lite version did not have this issues I guess)

On Request: I am using a nice case to my phone with a magnetic button! Can you add magnetic sensor also for screen off and screen on when it is out of the case :-) just like black berry.... It will be very great to have one app like this please!
[Android Apps and Games] jameslfc5:
How is this free or am I missing something?
[Android Apps and Games] TBarb169:
Go pro & support the developer!

There is a free version & a paid version on the market. Paid version has more options. Very good customer service too. I was e-mailed back about my questions in less than a day!

Hint - if your cover is dark, put a light color post-it or a white sheet of paper inside the cover. This will help the sensor. Worked very well for my GT 7.7.:D
