Screen time-out when too dark to detect

Hi, I have just purchased the program, eventhough it costed a little over $0.99...

I have posted this suggestion before, please think about this idea:

With SmartStay I can now set my screen time-out to 15 sec because when I'm actually using/viewing my phone it's going to keep the screen on infinitely.

However, this setting is way too short in the evening for example, when it's too dark for SmartStay to operate. It would be great to have an alternative longer screen time-out value for this situation. This same longer value could be used when programs in the exception list are running.

To draw everyone's attention to my two cents here's an imaginary screenshot of my suggested settings:

it's ended at 30th june 23:59, will still work for a while. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Seems like the link is up for lite. I have uploaded it here.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elnware.smartStay10

Enjoy!!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Let me understand this. do you meant that by pressing on that option, the screen time out is set to the defined time out?

or that's for the what is in the exception list?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ujkadusko:
Installed Lite version from Google Play,does not work on stock Htc One X,beta was working perfectly,it gives FC,particulary when I want to activate Idle time feature...eye in notification is open but screen goes off.Other thing,in accessibility meny it says that Smart Stay is on,but in App meny it says that Idle Time Feature is off??Please ,fix it since I can not buy pro version because I live in Serbia.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vgergo:
When it's too dark to detect faces (or an exception list program is running in the foreground), your program could just extend the screen time-out to a given value.

Here are a few scenarios:

A)

daylight, i'm looking at screen

: screen stays on infinitelly

B)

daylight, i'm not looking at screen

: screen goes off after 15s (as set in Settings/Display)

C)

dark, doesn't know if I'm looking or not

: screen should go off after 1min (could be customizable in SmartStay)

D)

program on exception list running

, shouldn't check if I'm looking at screen: screen should go off after 1min (could be customizable in SmartStay)

I hope this clears up what I have meant.

I tried lite too, and the same thing happened: FC when I set accessibility thingy. I have sent in an error report too. (I'm using a Galaxy Note with RocketROM ICS XXLQ3 v6)

I figured it must have conflicted with the beta just having been uninstalled before I installed lite.

Didn't happen with the pro version though.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sasho36:
I've a galaxy sII (I9100) and in play store it's said the my device isn't compatible, the lite is ok...

Send from my GT-I9100 with Taptalk
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ujkadusko:
Uninstalled Beta first,then installed from PlayStore....I tried to install lite again on HOX still no luck.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sabret00the:
Paid for it and gave it a five star rating but unfortunately I can't get the notification preference to register. I click it and nothing happens. I'd leave it on but it takes over my status bar every time I unlock the phone.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vgergo:
I turned off notification for the same reason: I couldn't see my other notifications in the first few seconds after turning on my phone.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sasho36:
There is a typo in your compatibility list, you wrote: "galaxy s1 I9100" and it is "galaxy s1 i9000". So it's maybe the reason why the play store says it isn't compatible with the I9100.

Send from my GT-I9100 with Taptalk
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Will fix this part soon.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Does it says it is incompatible or?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
ok. quess i got what you meant. I have changed it to delay for 3 seconds before the notification came up. Just updated the latest version.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
I got it, i will put it in next release and much thanks for reporting on the lite. :good:I have fixed it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Updated the Requirements in the Apk. Quess after the update, you should be able to buy it. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Osutin:
feedback that isn't just praise.

For the smart stay like feature, I feel that you need to program it so that when you are actively touching your screen, it won't activate the front facing camera to conserve on battery life.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Yes it's possible. Working on it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Intent should work fine. I will see what i can do about it.

About prerequisite i will remove that on final. It is just there to ease the checking.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Thats great. Would love to know the result on your test.

Basically if you look up, you dont look at the screen. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
I have the same reports from a friend on g nexus. Will double check on this. Will update again once it is working.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ddpruel:
Working perfectly on my sgs2 running omega rom aokp. It even detected my eye with glasses. I love this app. The only problem with me is the notification, maybe just put an icon in the status bar, green being eye detected, red not. The panel seems usless IMHO.

Is there anyone with galaxy nexus willing to test the program and send me the logcat?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Alexander T.:
Lol, looks like you don't read carefully.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Yandvoiris:
it works on 2.3.6 stock

only deal is that it cannot see eyes close or open (if u go sleep while holding the device it will keep the screen up)

it detect if the face facing to the screen and prevent lockup

and if no face on screen or a bit too far for it to detect it will allow to lockup the screen

I have a Samsung Galaxy SII running MIUI V4 2.6.8. And it is working fine as long as I am holding my device vertical, but it doesn't work when I holding the device horizontal (in landscape mode). The screen turns off after 15s and I dont get the message "Eyes detected" doesn't show up. Yeah, it is repeatable.

I will provide you a logcate later today :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Glen L:
not working on HTC ONE X.

ROM: RD-MIUI 2.6.8

PROBLEM: Keeps screen awake
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
I quess the problem is the camera is at the side. you will need to keep a distance. Mine works just fine. try it out. let me know.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Well, It's quite true on what you said.However, eye tracking requires a continous frame shots(something like a video to keep track of eyes blinking, comparing frames) which is somewhat over kill to the battery. Thus, i quess it won't be implemented.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
any chances that you can turn the debug on and send me the logs. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] JakeRalph:
count me in...glad to help
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Ali I Hagen:
Tried on different distance and still not working. I tested further on and this is what I found out.

1) When tested first time while my device was displaying my homescreens. I'm using Apex launcher with auto rotation turned off. My homescreens didn't rotate into lancdscape. Smart stay didn't work.

2) With auto rotation on, I flipped my device horizontal and the homescreens followed. NOW smart stay is working.

3) Tried with browser app with auto rotation on and the smart stay is working like a charm.

Does your app consider auto rotation settings?

Hope it helps :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yudi7:
Galaxy SII - cm9

Its working like a charm. But why does it detect eye even if we are touching the device screen. Shouldn't it work when we are only seeing the device and not touching it?

For eg. I set the sleep to 15 sec of inactivity. So, now it detects the eye every 15 sec even when I'm touching the screen. It should detect the eye every 15 sec of inactivity(when not touching the screen).
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] morpheus2000:
Hi,

I've tested the app on my S2 GT I9100, Ollo MoNsTer Rom (4.03) and Syah 3.3.2 kernel.

It works if I keep the phone aligned with my face and at about 20-25 cm of it.

I would like that the app was more responsive and could track the face in more not so perfect situations (like not completely aligned face with camera, and more distance range for detection (15 - 40 cm)).

But I think the app has great potencial.

Keep the good work. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Glen L:
turned on the debug mode. question is how do i send in the logs?

Update: I just found out while the application is active, I cant use the camera application.

Camera application runs, but it shows black screen with the touch controls

my device: Samsung Galaxy S2 4.0.3 Stock

I uninstalled the beta 1.0.4 that was working fine and installed the lite version from google play. It started crashing over and over again. I had to remove it and downgraded do 1.0.4 beta.

:\
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HebeGuess:
I installed Lite version from Play Store without uninstalling 1.04. After first run, i uninstalled 1.04 and cleared both data, then facing the crash problems when trying to turn on idle time feature. Fortunately, It sloves automatically after I turn off and on screen once.

PS: Seems like the lite version has better accuracy than 1.04 on my One X.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ujkadusko:
It does not say that is incompatibile,it installs normally,but after that it does Fc(unfortunatelly,SmartStay stopped working)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] whelmar:
Just an update...

I can download the lite version but the pro version that I want still show as incompatible with the att skyrocket.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Pulsewave:
Hey, just to let you know you missed a phone, the HTC Amaze isn't supported and isn't on the compatiblity list even though I posted about it a few pages back during the beta test

Edit: why does it say its compatible with my Desire HD (inspire)? It doesn't have a front facing camera. Oh well I bought it and sent it to that phone, at least I was able to purchace it lol. Just gotta wait for it to say it supports my Amaze in the play store and I'll be back in business

Edit 2: the lite version supports my Amaze but the pro doesn't?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Bloodrainer:
Ive got an idea for you:

What if you use the illuminance detector also? i mean you could check the illuminance at the moment its taking a photo, so the app knows if its too dark to detect the face. That would let us set up a different timeout for when detection is impossible.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] tylerdurden83:
In the market description could you specify what is the difference between lite and pro? Thanks

Hi,

smart stay-pro works pretty good on my SGSII with cm9 20120628-Nightly-galaxys2!

Congratulations! Very good work!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] GFXi0N:
Bought.

Uninstalled the previously version manually.

Working on Galaxy S II with CyanogenMod 9 (4.0.4) and Fluxi kernel

Only thing is that the first time i run it, i had to disable and enable it to make the notifications appear...

Now, sometimes my screen just does not turn off.... i willl investigate if its related to this app or anything else.

A question: From time to time, i hit the "Send logs" option, an email is generated and i send it.... i don't know if its helpful at all or annoying,

The copyright info says 2011.... other than that... daily use will say.

Cheap app, if it does what it says, totally worth it... thanks for your work.

You might want to consider adding your app to to AndroidPIT. Quite a number of app developer here at XDA have made their apps available to teh AndroidPIT App Center next to the Play Store as it is widely spread and offers PayPal payment. Even non-XDA developers present their apps at AndroidPIT along Play Store as it gives them access to PayPal payments.

Smart Stay Ex is awesome btw just got my copy from the Play Store :)

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] LincolnBlack:
Weird. With the beta still installed its saying I have the pro version installed in the Play Store. Not asking to update either.

I'd like to say awesome job getting the app going.

I have a small suggestion.

when using idle mode, is it possible to use the notification icon to indicate that it is not watching your eyes but rather waiting for inputs to stop on screen? Something like the eye looking up, or a finger, or an hourglass? That will help us determine whether the app is actually looking for a face or looking for a screen input.

Thanks, great work.

Just bought the pro version. The check box for the notification setting doesn't appear to be working? Exiting the app and reloading shows the correct setting, but touching the check box doesn't update the box, despite changing the setting.

Tried to purchase but got the message your device is not compatible.

I'm using Galaxy Note btw.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HebeGuess:
LOL, just found out i was wrong.. From accessibility i was able to turn on smart stay idle time feature, but it just cause smart stay crash and left the options as on. While back to the smart stay own menu it show me idle off.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
It's working already. Check the latest.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
it shhould be compatible. i quess the android market screwed up. i will add it to others soon. Sorry about that.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jerryhou85:
Just tried to buy again on Google Play, this time works and get the receipt.

The "Notification" tick mark will not change immediately (real-time), but only change after screen on and off?

BTW, OP is from Singapore? I've got charged GST. LOL
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] forumzoeker:
When the screen is off and the front camera sees my face, than the screen pops on.that would be a nice feature to add, if this is possible.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Glen L:
That would be a battery hog, imagine the camera would still work even the screen is off?? so the camera is on 24/7?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Not really, i am actually using some sort of device backward compatibility. SherlockActionbar. <--

It's been discounted in the Play Store.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] shaq1907:
I installed free version on Galaxy S2. It works well enough in light condition.

It would be better if notification icon's first appearance didn't remove battery, network, wi-fi... icons. First it disables other icons, then it becomes normal.

In technically, is it possible to enable smart stay in landscape screen mode? Because it doesn't work in landscape.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Glen L:
what essential features are in the pro compared to the lite version?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
I am already giving the best discount 0.99 --!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
It does work in landscape but the camera is in odd placement you will need to stay back a bit to keep a distance. If you use S3, it might get you a bit better result but not too much.

Did your version in lite or pro? i think i have fixed in pro .. but not yet incorporated into lite.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] GalaxyGusta:
That's just work! Awesome!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
basically Exception List, Low light support and ability to turn off notification. Exception list is kinda important. says when you are watching videos and you want lag free. or some apps have its own keep awake and you don't want to interfere.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] shaq1907:
Thanks for reply. I tried Lite version and it's well enough. Thanks for your efforts.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ujkadusko:
Updated from Play Store,working perfectly with 15 sec display timeout.You did a wonderful job:good:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] LincolnBlack:
It seems the exception list is used to just keep the screen on permanently for apps in the list. Can we not define which apps we just want the screen time out to just operate normally for? Ie. 30 sec, 60 sec, etc?

Also, it seems to be any app that has any movement on screen prevents the app from recognizing it is idle. Having updates downloading in the Play app kept the screen on, a blank text message with the flashing cursor also kept the screen on. And from what I understand adding these apps to the exception list doesn't change the result? Ie, the screen just stays on.

I would suggest the exception list needs to have two options against each app. Keep screen on while app is in foreground. Or use system screen time out while app is in foreground.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
I am looking into. Tried it but actually it created some issues. I will set aside sometime to investigate on this but only if the SDK is possible i meant without creating other issues.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
do you have the shutter sound?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
The market version actually let the time out operate normally. The situation u just said only were done in beta.

Yes, it won't. There are actually a seperate functions. That's kinda one of the drawbacks of idle time. I stil haven't figured out how to check for automation. Seems like impossible using current tech.

Technically it's possible but any advantage of implementing this?

I'm using a SGS2 (GT-I9100) with Android 4.0.4 (CyanogenMod) and the pro version works very good.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] LincolnBlack:
I guess there is no need or advantage to this if the original intention of the exception list is to allow the screen to time out normally. Which I wasn't sure if that was the intention, or it was to keep the screen on for excluded apps.

I'm using the latest and still no change. Having grooveshark and Mortplayer in my exception list isn't letting the screen time out normally. The screen just stays on permanently for those apps, which is the opposite of what I ended thought would happen.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Darkmind1:
It seems to me that, after having the app work initially for a few hours, it won't work anymore at all. I am running the pro version on Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100, with Cyanogenmod 9, RC1. The app worked well for a few good hours, but now it will simply crash and after I deleted all data, reinstalled the app, when I enter it says no front camera detected. I did check if the front camera was working via the camera app and it worked fine.

So I'm guessing there is some issue with the app and simply reinstalling won't help me. Other than that, it's a good idea and the app does the job, it's just that there is this stability issue. If anyone knows how to fix this. It's worth mentioning I am also running this version of touchwiz 5 UI (link here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1667051 ) in case they are connected.
