May be this feature was implemented by HTC. Allow me to describes in details:

First, I set for 15s to entering sleep. If user inactivity for present for 10s, the screen MAY decreases it's brightness and follow by turning off the screen at 15s. While i'm still unable figure out what/how lead to brightness decrement event as it may not occurs. Two possible cases here:

CASE A: The brightness never decreases, smart stay consecutively detect my faces from the beginning.

CASE B: The brightness decreases, later smart stay detect my faces and halting the screen to turn off. The screen didn't turn off but the brightness keeps at the level after decreased.

Latest version seems to work fine on stock (4.04) GNex. Had to enable Low Light Support to get it to work consistantly indoors.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Checking stock camera shouldn't be a problem but it's kinda not necessary. they will compete to get the camera anyway. The one that you should check should probably be Video apps or any apps that causing lag.

I don't have any ideas about the issues yet. Seems like layout issues on jkay.

can't visualize it also . would u mind to send me a screen shot on this?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gabi11:
ok, it happened again.

Think that it happens when the notification is off.

But it doesn't constantly happening so I don't really know.

something I noticed is that when I switch the notification on and off, the color of the switch doesn't change and I need to exit the app and enter again to see it changed...

I'm with debug mode on but I only switched it after I saw the problem so for now, all pictures seem fine.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
so do you meant that the issue is simply that the notification doesn't constantly show properly?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] noscentsbrad:
Count me in
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gabi11:
jkay lockscreen have an indication when I have a notification (like missed call or message).

without a missed event it should look like this

with a missed event it looks like this

the thing is that with the smart stay notification it looks like I always have a missed event...

Hi elnoxvie - I am using a Galaxy s2 at&t version. Under the Shutter sound off When I check that the shutter sound stops but there is another sound. Can that sound be turned off also. In other words all sound off when smart stay is running.

Thank you

superdog404
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
I am afraid your case is a bit different. The built in sound can only be removed via root. Not possible using the public SDK.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sasho36:
1.4 works well on sgs2 with Slim. But it change the screen timeout on lock screen to system settings (5 sec before). Would it be possible to activate the app once device is unlocked? Or maybe add a Tasker plugin that could enable/disable Smart stay.

Thanks for the app!

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
I believe the you were talking about the lock screen? is it not? than you can add it to exception.. while the lock screen is running it will let the system handle the time out. but i am abit worried about your time out though since Smart Stay check based on the time out and if your time out is 5 sec it will check at 3 sec for each interval. kinda too close. :(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Droidphilev:
hi Elnoxvie,

and again both the statusbar and SmartStay crashes while trying to clear notfication. I truly wonder why you put the icon in the notification area instead of the "currently active" area. it's not a real notification after all

I had to uninstall the beta as the vibration notification was driving me crazy and I could not turn off notifications
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kailashnj:
Hi,

I know this might be a stupid question, but did not want to read it completely.

Does this need Samsung Framework to work or can I install this app on any CM9 ICS roms too. I have galaxy note with PA installed. Please advice.

Regards,

1.0.4 is working on Acer A500, stock, not rooted.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jhuff83:
Newest release seems buggy on the EVO 3D. I can be in good light and the notification shows the eye closed when looking at the screen. Hit or miss with this release.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] icepixie:
Hm, downloaded 1.0.4 and it doesnt seem to work for me on my HTC Amaze.

Rooted, S-off, running Energy rom.

Set the display off at 15 seconds, and even after making the app is on and turned screen off/on to activate, the screen still turns off after 15 seconds while i'm reading. :confused:

---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

Just turned on my notification and I agree with post above regarding the eyes closed notification. :good:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sasho36:
No, my system timeout is 30 sec and 1 min for some apps (Tasker).What I wanted to say is that before installing Smart Stay, when on lock screen, the display was turning off after 5-6 sec and now after 30 sec, so it uses more power (after a missed call for example).

As a workaround, I've created a Tasker profile that turns off the screen after 10 sec, if not unlocked.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dafoxs:
Newest version still works on my note using the Goldie rom. Just saw my photo gallery and there is over 700 pictures of me.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] chvash:
Suggestion

When you have light beyond, the app does not detect eyes open. For instance from a WC with a light above and reading from the bottom :o

Besides I recommend to use another simbol and maybe other color, since with black background it is not clear. Maybe something like a < for open and - for closed eyes. Obiously more elaborated than what I can do with ascii.

Great app!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cdmackay:
Working well on my Note running CM9 nightly, so you will be fine.

Mind you, it would have taken less time to just try it :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jaraya13:
Newest version is not working on my Note. Version 1.0.3 was ok.

Now there is a message when I try to open the app:

"Unfortunately, Smart Stay Beta has stopped."

What I did different this time is that I not only uninstall v 1.0.3 first, but also cleared data before uninstalling, is this related with my problem???

Rocket Rom v7, Galaxy Note.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cdmackay:
Ironically, after my last msg, I have to concur that 1.0.4 doesn't seem to be working as well on my Note, with the latest CM9 nightly.

Debug pics look ok though, but it won't stay on.

1.0.3a was OK; it's not now though, as I see it has expired.

I did get one (only) "front camera not detected" msg, but since there are Debug pics, I am ignoring that...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jaraya13:
Never mind, I installed the wrong version, I am sorry. Last version is still working ok.

---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 PM ----------

You have to be sure you downloaded: "SmartStayExV.1.0.4" not the wrong version: "SmartStay_V.1.0.4"

NOTES, design for every rom and phone though phone is subjective
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Turn the debug on and check the photos
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
You can set the lock screen into exception and it will be back to normal
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
The pictures get accumulated after a while. Try turn off the debug if not in used.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cdmackay:
Any idea what that might be called, on a CM9 Note, please? I can't find anything related in the exception list...

---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 AM ----------

thanks but yes, I have the newer 1.0.4 Ex version.

I've sent in Logs, just in case there's anything useful in there... thanks.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Crescendo Xenomorph:
Report from last night (v1.0.3a) it keeps my screen on for unknown reason...

The condition is: phone charging at table with no one there and the screen won't turn off for some reason and keep turning on by itself after I turned it off...

And now I'll try v1.0.4... ^^
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
That's one strange things. There was a bug previously that will make it run in the background but it has been patched since v.1.0.4. try it out. let me know. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] LincolnBlack:
I gave the latest a try. Adding Grooveshark to the exclude list still doesn't shut the screen off at all while in the app.

With the exclude list off though, Grooveshark will still keep the screen awake in the 'now playing' screen. I also tried it with Mortplayer, playing local music and the same result: the moving position marker keeps the screen on.

Is there a way to isolate touch input from 'automated' movement on screen?

Otherwise, I'd like to say great going on the app. It's easy to see how hard it is to get it right on so many devices. Good stuff.

---------- Post added at 03:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------

Is the battery icon animated on screen while it's charging? Could be related to my music player issue?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jerryhou85:
1.0.4 works very well on SGS2 with CM9 20120628 Nightly.

Thanks for the nice work! Can't wait for official release on Google Play. :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Droidphilev:
Hi,

Can anyone do the following small test on a SGS2 (with Jkay mod if possible):

try to press clear notification button twice. (or only one time when there are no notifications)

on mine this crashes first Smart Stay, then the statusbar and sometimes system.ui + a reboot.

My opinion is that clearing notifications kills Smart Stay which then tries to come back and this kills the statusbar.

All apps with a persistent icon are on the upper part of the statusbar. since the SmartStay icon i supposed to be persistent too my opinion is that it should be in the "active" part of the statusbar, not the notification.

i can't imagine that i'm the only one with this problem since my phone is cleaned up a week ago. there's nothing to special installed or anything.

EDIT: just gave ISeeYou a chance. i dont like it but in that app the icon is in the "ongoing" part of the statusbar. i can easily clean notifications without any crashes.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Yod-b:
I encountered a strange error: on my ATP it doesn't work. For some reason my screen doesn't switch off at all if I the app is running. I have some apps on the exception list, like the Camera and Instagram. (I added them because sometimes these apps interfere with Smart Stay.) But it's not like it matters, I disabled that function and the error is still there.

The little blue eye icon is always open. What can be the problem? What's more, I tried clearing all application data, and reconfigure the app, but the problem still exists.

What makes this error even stranger is that the app works perfectly on my HOX.

Edit: I'm talking about the latest version, stock and rooted rom.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] prehe:

I'm using the new Smart Stay 1.0.4 in stock ROM 2.3.6 (rooted), Galaxy W.

Shutter off - When I enable this, still, it toggles silent mode on/off.

Low light support - Still not functioning well in my phone. When I enable this, my screen is always on and not activate my screen timeout when I'm away on my phone.

Thank you :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
open debug and check the fail pictures. It's probably distance.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Seems like a known issue with Galaxy W. For now, just disable it. I will check on it again.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
ok. Let's get into some bug hunting.

1. did you on the notification?

2. idle time running?

3. when the screen stays on, is there anything like an auto scrolling view running?

if not sure, try to turn off the idle time and try again. let me know.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] eggshaped:
Working on HTC One X (International)

Works perfectly on the HTC One X international version.

Thank you, this is an excellent app, possibly one of the most useful apps I've ever seen, looking forward to the official version in the Play Store :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
I quess, it's something to do with the idle time since the auto scrolling is on and reset the timer and the app probably don't have enough time to turn off the wake lock while it's playing. Currently there is no implementation to detect whether it is automatic or manual.I will double check on this part again. To worst, i will need to put an option to disable the scrolling check and leave the rest intact.

Thanks for the feedback.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Yod-b:
What about the notification?

There was no app switched on that would prevent the tablet going to sleep. Yes, idle time was on too, but switching it off didn't change anything. Switching it back on neither.

A reboot solved it for now, but it was weird. Because I force closed the app anyway, cleared all data, restarted it, reconfigured it, but it still didn't work. Reboot was necessary, so something went wrong deeper. But I have no idea where...

Did this help? Do you have any idea what could it have been?

Edit: BTW, what kind of apps use autoscroll?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Ok. let me put it this way. In whatsapp, you will receive messages from people and while whatsapp dialog still on, the listview will scroll automatically upon receiving message. that's what i meant by auto scroll. But it's not limited to whatsapp. it could happen to music app which scrolls the lyrics on its own. For now, it's still not possible to check whether it's manual or not.

My quess is when you turn off the idle time you will need to off and on the screen. The initialization of the idle time is done before the screen started.

so actually the idle time still running.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
Do check if you have received images in SDCARD/SMARTSTAY Folder too.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] forumzoeker:
How does it work I can not see any changes, or am I to late
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Yod-b:
I got you! But I don't have any of those apps installed, at least none of them I know about. (I don't have apps with pop-up windows and stuffs like that, at least not on my ATP, which has the problem.)

I checked the pictures, and there were several ones totally black and green also. So it's like the camera just didn't work at all. I mean, took pictures, but corrupted.

BTW, can't you set up that folder to delete the pictures after a period of time, or instantly? It's kinda weird to see a hundred pictures of yourself. (Not talking about privacy issues...)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] elnoxvie:
It's only when you set a debug on. When you turn it off, it won't happen. This is just to help you see why something is not working.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Yod-b:
I'm totally positive my debug option is and was off since yesterday. So there's a bug we found! ;)

Thank you for the help, You guys are great!!!!!

Hello Guys,

First of all, Thanks for the community to support this project. After few weeks of struggling to makes this project better, i realized that this xda community is so great. I am glad that i am part of the family. Though there is a bit of a dissapointment, our hard works have been ripped off By ISeeYou where some of our core features have been taken(Idle Time). Nevertheless, i would like to thank you guys to spend your precious time in suggesting features and help testing. I am glad that in the end this project has reached a stage where it can be published to the Android Market. Happy to announce that a lite and pro version have just been uploaded to Android market and should be available in few hours time. when the link is up, i will update the download links again.

SmartStay Ex Pro: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elnware.smartStay

Still waiting for the lite to appear. Please be patient. :)

Note: the price seems to be wrong, the 0.99 might take a while to reflect.

And as a thanks, the lite will have most of the essential features retained and pro also will get some important additional features not available in lite.

Additionally as a thanks to members's supports. I will be putting a price as low as the Android market can take USD $0.99 for a limited time.

Meanwhile, i will still be here to support you guys. Any questions will be welcomed.

Again thanks for everyone that have helped. Your help is greatly appreciated by a simple me. :D

I haven't bought the app yet but I can go to the checkout page where you pay so I think you have added it there. I would request you to check if you have allowed this device (Samsung Galaxy R GT-i9103)
