It depends on the system. Some version of Android DO lock the screen when it's turned on, and others don't. Developers can't enable lockscreen but only disable it (if enabled).

a)Service is killed when memory is needed (when you open heavy apps). It's possible to force service to keep running but it's not that easy now that the app is grown. But it's definitely one of the most important features I will implement in the future.

2)Those are little bugs which depends on the phone or the rom/kernel or things like that.

3) This could depend on the speed of the cpu. Are you sure lite version works fast? (if you keep features unchecked in the pro, the 2 app are equals)

Magnetic sensor is not supported by a lot of phones, and a cover with magnetic button is not so common. I will consider implementing this in the future.

Useful help for great customers :)

Hey guys,

The spanish translation has been already done (app + user guide) and tested. Everything should be alright. Is there anybody else who would like to help in translating the app into another language? It did not take me a lot of time, c´mon let´s give a hand to Ddeleted for this brilliant app.

Thanks in advance.

[Android Apps and Games] dismaljester:
This app is prefect for me since I hit my power button sometime when my phone is in my pocket. The only suggestion I have is when using "Do not screen On after screen Off (Beta)" the screen won't turn back on when I'm in a call unless I hit the power button. Maybe ad an option to have screen on/off to work normally while in a call when this is active.

I know my description isn't the best, I hope you can figure out what I mean.
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
This is true. I will see if possible to disable the app during a call. Thanks for the feedback.

Add exception - Can it be done?

From all the auto screen off and on apps I have tried so far this one suited me the best.:)

There only one drawback though, due to my personal use of the phone. I like to use cyberon voice in order to make calls, which I activate through my BT headset button. So when I have Smart Screen off running (with screen already off in my pocket) and I try to activate cyberon voice, the screen turns on for a while and almost instantly goes off again (due to the app) thus closing the cyberon as well :(. I tried the time delay but it doesn't seem to work in this case :confused: (with the flip cover already closed). I don't know if something can be done (like having the possibility to add an exception for some programs for example ... or any other solution).
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
It would be possible to add app exceptions, but it would insanely drain battery. This is because the app should check every X milliseconds if another app is running. I take care about battery usage and with my app is really minimum (there are few people who complain about it:confused::confused: ), so if i'd add such a feature, they will probably come here and kill me :)

[Android Apps and Games] davall:
Great piece of software!

I have a fetaure request.

I'm using volume wakeup on AOKP rom. When the device is locked with smart screen off the device can not be unlocked with the volume rocker but only with the power button.

Can wakeup with volume rocker be implemented? Thanks in advance.

Please do not use illegal downloads, by this software and support the developer!!!
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
Unfortunately this is not possible (I use aokp too) :(
[Android Apps and Games] AndrewSimoes:
I would love to buy this. I have an Xperia Arc LT15a. It comes 'This App is incompatible with your device'. That despite the fact that the Lite version worked
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
This is because your phone doesn't have a light sensor.
[Android Apps and Games] tsalta:
Well on the 1st run i was thinking i will not need this app

I install it to test it

AWESOME and now i think OHHH yes i will need it for sure.

Instead to lock always my device switch it on off from the button

NOW is simple put in in the pocket or with the face or just hide the sensor and imideately screen off

I will get the PRO version for sure.

GREAT APP thanks
[Android Apps and Games] fluidz:
Nice app thanks! Is there an app that would disable the screen timeout if the accelerometer detects movement? Each time the phone moves the screen timeout timer resets.
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
I don't know, but this is a good idea, I think I'll implement this in the future :)

Now I've added a new feature to enable app ONLY when in launcher!

It will be disabled automatically when you open anything else.

This is currently under testing.

What does this do to save power?

EDIT: And one more question which I haven't really seen answered elsewhere: where has my lockscreen gone? It seems with some combinations of options, I'll get my lockscreen when the display turns back on but with other options I don't. I'm curious to know which options disable the lockscreen and why.

EDIT 2: It gets weirder. Without changing any options, sometimes I get a lockscreen and sometimes I don't. Could it be some weird interaction between Smart Screen ON Pro and Smart Screen OFF Pro?

EDIT 3: I rebooted and it is NOT showing me the lockscreen. Again, no changed to options/settings.

Edit 4: if i activate the lockscreen manually, it will continue to show so, for me, this particular issue is solved.
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
What does this do to save power?

It enables light sensor only when proximity sensor detect a close object.

The lockscreen should not appear at all, I'm using both OFF and ON apps and I've never had any problems. If you find a step by step way to get this problem replicated, please contact me so I can try to see what happens.

The lockscreen is not enabled (Smart screen OFF) if you use Gingerbread. Most Froyo user can use lockscreen. This is due to Android, I can't do anything to fix this (it should have been the first thing I did).

P.S. Did you leave 1 star comment on Smart screen ON? :(
[Android Apps and Games] short/y:
Ah, thanks. Wasn't sure how it saved power and I couldn't find any documentation on it. This might be a good thing to add to your manual.

I'm running ICS (CM9 4.0.4) on my Galaxy Nexus. I *think* the lockscreen only appears if I manually lock the screen. Once I've done that, it continues to show when Smart Screen On PRO turns the screen back on. There's something that triggers it to go back to NOT showing the lockscreen but I don't yet know what that trigger is. Also, after some period of time with the screen off, the proximity sensor seems to go to sleep or something because Smart Screen On PRO won't wake it up. I've got it set for the tap/swipe action and I don't get any vibrations to indicate it's recognized the tap.

I'm happy to move this discussion to email or to a different thread if you think it's not appropriate for this thread but I'm equally happy to continue it here.

Nope, not me. I *never* rate something less than 3 stars unless I've contacted the developer and have come to no agreeable solution.
[Android Apps and Games] devitos:
on xperia neo V service start or stop unpredictable and app works from time to time

"disable when landscape" didt work

[Android Apps and Games] devitos:
how about service? why tray-icon of app disappears and reappears on its own? what logic?
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
This should mean the app is killed due to low memory conditions. Or because of some task killers
[Android Apps and Games] devitos:
no task killer

no memorys problem - power ON with app (in tray)

make some simple task (like call or sms)

stay in tray

power off

after some time app dont work! power on with button - no tray icon...

i have 100 mb of free mem
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
Sometimes it happens when I load heavy games. In the next version I'll introduce a new feature to force app staying enabled. (And it still could be killed by Android, but only if necessary).
[Android Apps and Games] TheeWolf:
Hi,

I cannot download the app from the play store.

Using Galaxy S - should mention that I edited my dpi to 210 instead of 240, is this the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
If Galaxy S has a proximity sensor and a light sensor, dpi could be the main reason.
[Android Apps and Games] ddubs:
Using the HTC One X. My phone has two dot sensors on the upper left of my screen. I noticed that whenever this app is running, the left sensor always has a visible red light on. It's somewhat dim, but pretty visible in the dark.

Saw the linked threads earlier in this one about the red light being normal when the sensor is on, but does anybody know if there could issues/problems with the little red light being on 24/7? This app has been really useful for me (great work!) so far but I'm a little worried about permanently killing the light/proximity sensor somehow...
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
My proximity sensor doesn't light up when active. However it's active 24/24 and it's still fully functional. Galaxy s2 users, whose sensor lights up like yours, didn't had any problems as far as I know. On Wikipedia you can read that proximity sensor has a long fully functional life because of its nature :thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] vibez:
I'd like to purchase the pro version but the market says it is not compatible with my htc one s :-( the lite version works well
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
That's weird, the only required feature for using pro is having light sensor... Maybe it depends on your dpi :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
Just wanted to give a Thanks to the Developer here. Good job. I haven't tested for Battery usage yet, but I like the function of the app.

I basically created something just like this for myself using Tasker. It was a PITA to setup and fine tune. In the end, it still was buggy and I imagine was using a good amount of battery. So I'm curious how this app holds up battery-wise.

Again, great app....I LOVE all the settings/features to make this just right for each user.
[Android Apps and Games] vibez:
Where should I check my dpi settings?
[Android Apps and Games] vibez:
Never mind, its working now. Must have been a glitch with the store. One happy customer :-)
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
Nice to heaer that :)
[Android Apps and Games] rokc:
Nice! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Xachariah:
Thanks for making the app, it's pretty good. I do have one issue though, it's way too bloody sensitive for me.

Moving the tip of my finger within 3 centimetres of the the sensor causes the screen to go off. I've hashed a work around for now (the timer setting) but I would prefer to not pay attention to where I idle my fingers when holding the phone.

Is there any way you could add orientation to the App settings? It would be fantastic if either the app or sensors were only active while the device was oriented downwards (pocket) or face-down (desk).

EDIT: I haven't rated it yet, but if you ever get around to adding orientation I'll rate it a five for you.

EDIT2: It appears to be necessary to push the power button when the screen has been off due to Smart Screen Off PRO for some time. Is this normal? I assume the device is going to sleep, but confirmation would be nice.
[Android Apps and Games] LuisUrrutia:
Thanks u, its a really great app
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
1) It would be possible but it would drain battery (and some people is already complaining about some strange draining coming from my app [I have to suppose their rom is bugged]).

Anyway I have implemented a new feature which will work only on android >4 with stock, apex or nova launchers. This feature only enables sensor when in launcher.

2) this is not normal, there something strange happening in your system. Maybe the app is being killed after some time by Android.
[Android Apps and Games] Xachariah:
1) It's a shame orientation triggers would cause battery drain. The new feature sounds good. I'm always happy about new features!

EDIT: Perhaps you could add features which may drain the battery faster, but make them options with big red disclaimers? But I suppose you are taking into consideration stupid people who may ignore the disclaimer and rate your app poorly for something which was their own fault.

2) Yeah my device is a little bit wonky lately. I'll probably re-flash my ROM or something with AOKP. I'm running AOKP (b39) with Franco's kernel (m4) on my GNexus. Something seems to be killing the Smart Screen Off PRO service for me. I'm not sure what since I don't run any task killers.

Regardless, I'm happy with the app. I can only hope fixing my personal issues will help. Thanks for replying.
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
Exactly what I mean. You've got the point.

I have the same configuration of you, (update now to b40). Sometimes it could happen it's killed by android when you open several app at the same time. But it shouldn't be killed when the screen is off.
[Android Apps and Games] Xachariah:
I still have an issue where the screen doesn't automatically come back on when turned over/taken out of the pocket for longer than 10 minutes.

Would you be able to tell me what events or processes to look for in the Android System Information logs? I'd like to try and diagnose what's going on. The Smart Screen Off PRO service/process isn't being killed. Perhaps another App is getting in the way? Or the ROM is preventing the screen on process?

EDIT: Sorry if I'm being annoying. Gave your app a good rating and review in compensation.
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
I don't know, try sending logcat to my email address. Maybe I could see what's happening.
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
For those who are having problems when extracting the phone from the pockets (screen off right after on (because of the trousers/jeans)) add these lines to system/build.prop to delay the screen on.

I've been looking for a "turn off button app" that works properly with ICS, and this one seems like a good option.

I can download the lite version from play, but the Pro version says my phone is not compatible with it... why's that? I'm using an xperia S.

The pro version allows you to configure if you want to turn on or not, right?
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
It could depend on dpi maybe.

Nope, the pro works exactly like lite one, but with more features (delay, orientation etc)
[Android Apps and Games] kobolt99:

HD2 proximity/light sensor

I have a problem with my HD2 proximity/light sensor – the light sensor is damaged (apparently two resistors broken). Thus when I use the phone to make call the screen goes off and I can’t get the keyboard on screen again – hence no way of using automated phone systems or even retrieving my voicemail.

I have recently flashed from Wm.6.5 to ICS 4.01 – and this works great but does not fix the proximity/light sensor problem.

Will this App help to fix the problem – I don’t mind the phone being on during a call (I know battery life will be affected), but at least I can continue to use this great phone. I'm happy to purchase a fix...just let me know.

DDeleted,

Hi~! Bought the pro version. However, i have a problem.

After install SMART SCREEN OFF, I found out my Native alarm does ring in the morning. Made me late for work for a few times.

I tried another app called "Egg Timer" . The alarm wont trigger until i ON the screen by removing my cover/pressing the power button.

Anyone else experience this?

DDeleted, can you look into this and see if there's anything causing this?

Timer delay only works once

Hello, I recently purchased a pro version because I need the timer delay feature. However, I noticed that if this feature is activated in my phone, it will only turn the screen off once. After turning the screen on again by (uncovering the proximity sensor), the app will not turn the screen off once more if the proximity sensor is covered again. It seems that the proximity sensor is not responding the second time it is covered when the timer delay is checked. I have tried activating vibrate when proximity sensor is covered and my phone does not vibrate the second time it is covered.

This is probably why the app doesn't work on your phone:

http://www.neowin.net/news/review-sony-xperia-s-the-master-of-media

" Strangely there is no light sensor included in the Xperia S' package, meaning there is no support for auto-brightness. According to the white paper for the Xperia S (PDF link) there should be an ambient light sensor, but there is no software support for a light sensor as seen in the device's settings and in the device statistics app Elixir 2, and also there are no visible signs of a sensor. It's only a slight downside but it is something to think about. "

Unlocking a Verizon phone will get you nothing. The phone is only compatible with Verizon anyway. If you were to unlock it you still couldn't take it to another carrier.

Also, Verizon GNex is a CDMA device, it won't work on the GSM network. So AT&T and T-Mo are out.

If you need a phone that works on most of the networks, don't bother unlocking a Verizon GNex, get a GSM/internatonal GNex.

Hi

Not all the time but every so often my battery drains really quickly. It might be at 80% at night and at 20% the next morning and if I look at the battery usage stats the OS has used the majority of the OS. If I restart the phone it will usually be ok again.

Is there anyway of finding out what part of the OS is causing the issue or how can I stop it? Its not an issue if I am able to charge the device as soon as I relaise but sometimes I have to go out and then have a practically dead phone for the day. This can also happen at other times as well but I usually just check it periodically in case the OS is using the battery a lot.

Thanks

Brian
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tixed:
If you have CWM - charge the phone to 100%, then wipe the battery stats. Oddly enough, it did the trick for me. I've had about 20-25% overnight drain before. Now <5%.

Also check for apps that are waking your phone with BetterBatteryStats (you need to check for partial wakelocks). Maybe some app is not draining, but just wake your phone too often so it can't deep sleep.
