I'd like suggesting an enhancement.

Add two buttons to the notification, one to toggle enable/disable keep screen on and a second one to toggle keep the screen on with no timeout.

[Android Apps and Games] Columbo4Life:
Proximity option still breaking the app. Disabled it for now. But the app is disabled when display is off, right? So I am only losing the disable option for phone calls?
[Android Apps and Games] kobik77:
And when you put your phone in your pocket.

For me btw it's working fine. What exactly is broken?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Android Apps and Games] Columbo4Life:
When prox. sensor option is enabled the icon, also in test mode, turns blue and off in quick successions. Even after disabling prox. option and restarting it won't work (strange). I have to freeze and unfreeze the app.

So what am I losing... it only won't disable when putting it to my ear, right. When phone is off the is off in general... correct me if I'm wrong.

Interestingly, it worked till a week ago. The smart screen off app of the dev. is not working at all anymore. Testing for example vibrate when near prox. sensor in the app, doesn't switch screen of nor vibrates.

So I thought prox. sensor had a problem, but it is working as it's supposed to when I put my ear to my phone during a call, display goes off.

feature request

I'd like to add a feature request: Tasker integration. Allow to stop and start the service through tasker.
[Android Apps and Games] beren:
wanted to try this app on my nexus 4 but lite version it's not compatible with my mobile o__O
[Android Apps and Games] kobik77:
DDeleted, what are your thoughts about that?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] LMR1200:
Me too....
[Android Apps and Games] MrEasy666:
Same here. Weird thing is that I had it installed before in the same device, but now for re-installation it says 'incompatible for your device'
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
This app works as promised except sometimes it seem to be disabled. I guess it is being swapped out (and our newer ROMs have no swap--argh!--so makes it even worse. Work-arounds?

I use Xposed and its AppSetting module can make an insistent notification. I think the app already has that so not enough. It can also lock it in memory. I guess easy-enough to try it. Other ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] LMR1200:
Can someone post the apk of the lite version? Play isn't working for me and I want to try....
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
Very often, when system is kind of occupied, this app ceases to function (in other words, the screen will go off, icon does not light, etc.).

Is there some means of assigning this more priority?
[Android Apps and Games] denzel09:

Lite version works fine in my phone ( Xperia Miro ) but with pro version screen never goes off.
[Android Apps and Games] megasoft78:
Hi,

thank you for this very useful app.

I did a post on my blog about it here:

http://techcookies.net/keep-screen-on-lite-a-smarter-way-to-keep-your-screen-on/

I hope you like it! :)
[Android Apps and Games] qalsaleh:
I would like to suggest

I am very much impressed with this very useful app and I am keeping it activated in my Samsung Galaxy S4 all the time. I disabled the Galaxy smart stay function because it is not always working and this app I find much more practical and a good replacement for smart stay.

However, I have a suggestion to improve it:

As it is made to keep the screen on as long as the device is not horizontal, the device screen is kept on if for example I place it in my pocket while standing or walking. This will drain the battery and the device becomes very hot. If there is a way to put the screen off when the light sensor is off in spite of the device being in vertical position will solve this problem, I guess.

Second thing, sometimes I need to place the device horizontally on a table but want to continue using it. Screen will be off as this is the function of the app in this position. If it is possible that the app can detect the device is being used in the horizontal position like for example I am scrolling the screen or touching it for any reason and then the screen will be kept on.

I wonder if these suggestions are possible but if so it will make it a perfect app. Even if these additions can be limited to the paid version I would not mind this.
[Android Apps and Games] Mac of York:
Proximity sensor works in the paid version. Second? Turn off the app.
[Android Apps and Games] qalsaleh:
Thank you Mac of York for the info.

I did not know that proximity sensor works in the paid version.

Turning the app off would simply solve any issue with the app but this is not, in my opinion, the proper solution and would be a hassle .

Thanks again
[Android Apps and Games] BARTLETT M.:
Ciao!

Will you implement above feature shortly? all this time using KSO I can confirm that 40s is a very short time when reading/watching something "calmly" on your device...

Thanks for your time! ;)

[Android Apps and Games] MattHamby:
Option request

How about an option for keeping the device unlocked while connected to a pc?
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
Sometimes, when I pick up the phone and unlock, the screen will go off before the app can sense and respond to the phones position. Some delay is desirable here but the delay should be kept less than the selected screen timeout.
[Android Apps and Games] jfriend33:
What is the difference between this and Screebl?
[Android Apps and Games] Bubble-be:
It doesn't seem to play well with a nexus 5 ?

On the lockscreen it holds the last active status even though I have "disable on lockscreen" selected. When unlocked there's several seconds (7-15) of delay between the test and status icon.
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
First post here in ages!

I find the app less than reliable on cm-10.2 on my LG P500. Positions sensing often does not update so the screen goes off. Probably a RAM problem because it is decidedly better on cm-11.

General fix might be to up its priority somehow.
[Android Apps and Games] bcook75:
Not working after boot until I open the app

Nexus 5, stock but rooted. 4.4.2. Just upgraded to Pro to see if it still happens. It does. After a boot, the notification shows up, and shows green but the screen times out. This continues until I go to the app (just a click from the notification bar), after which the screen stays on as expected. Just letting you know.
[Android Apps and Games] sanyok7734:

[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:

First sign of life here in eons.

Been using this quite a while. Can be a bit unreliable, maybe because it does not have enough priority. Has persistent notifications but seems to get push out anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] ethraza:
kso problem look alike

I have noticed that sometimes when I turn on my screen but not unlock it, the screen never turns off by it self.

I was thinking that it cold be some problem with my Nexus 5, but last week I have installed it on my wife's Sony Z1 and saw that happens to it too.

Booth have only "Start on boot" (that never starts the service) and "Disable in lockscreen" checked.
[Android Apps and Games] mat_pav:
You should add a second range picker. Now you have the one when the phone is tilted backward. I need also the one when you tilt the phone forward. I would like to have the free range ( not enabled ) in the middle of the scale. One example is when you lay in the bad and hold your phone in the hands.
[Android Apps and Games] jayme@xda:
What about that one? It seems like it has been removed from Play Store. Am I able to get this app back from somewhere else as I likes it alot.
[Android Apps and Games] leofwg:
cool app!!! thanks
[Android Apps and Games] parkerj7uc:
Why did they take this from the play store?
[Android Apps and Games] mattes13:
I was using it for a long time now. However, I had to wipe my phone and now I cannot find it in the play store either.

Is there another reliable source?
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
Yeah, gone from Play. Need upgrade, have found no suitable replacement. Argh!

The app has a wakelock, maybe an obsolete implementation. Using PowerNap and Blocking it with Amplify (Xposed) yielded substantial battery improvement, app still works.
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
Hi guys, after my account was banned from Play Store, I decided to move all apps on Amazon App Shop for free.

Here you can download last version of Keep Screen ON PRO.

KEEP SCREEN ON PRO
[Android Apps and Games] abcdefg1208:
very good
[Android Apps and Games] spupuz:
i'm not so sure that the battery is not affect.

from my experience anything that is monitoring a sensor (proximity or camer) for auto brightnss tool or accellerometer for keep on the screen are always a process running in background consuming cpu and memory, so it's more the battery drain savings or the battery drained by the active background process?
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
Yes, that's partially correct. Having a service (process) running in the background doesn't affect battery, if the process doesn't do anything. The usage is practically none.

Now, if the process is doing something cpu intensive, expecially for a long time, then it could cause battery draining.

In my case (and you can test what I'm saying using Gsam battery monitor for example) the process doesn't acquire data from when is launched on. It wisely selects some data from sensor every X seconds (where could be selected in PRO version), so that accelerometer is not always active and the battery draining is not noticeable or completely absent. Of course every smartphone is hardwarely different, so test yourself :good: "E fammi sapere :) "
[Android Apps and Games] gomek111222:
can i make a suggestion. i realized that when my phone is in my pocket the position of the phone is suitable for screen on position. but the phone's screen must not be on. to solve this u can use proximity sensor to disable activation of screen. if u do that it would be so useful.
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
Yeah, this is a cool idea. I will implement this for sure in PRO version!

NEWS

By the way, the app is now available in PRO version.

An there's a new feature for LITE version as promised: accuracy tab.

PRO version has NO ads and another feature "Interpolation Tab" for more accurate values.

Keep Screen ON PRO

Next features will be added to PRO version only. Always open to suggestions.
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
Does this pro version already solve the issue I mentioned in post #4 of this thread? That's the only thing holding me back from using the app.

I bought "Smart Screen Off Pro" yesterday, this can make a great addition to it.
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
Not in current version. It will be next add in pro version.

I have an auto reboot scheduled at 6AM, this morning the screen was still on when at 7AM despite having the function enabled.

Feature Request

is it possible to have the device go into daydream mode when it it placed at a specific angle? (ie dock or desk stand)
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
It would be possible, but for this I would recommend apps like Tasker or Locale.
[Android Apps and Games] skyjedi:
tasker would be nice but lacks the specific angle trigger.
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
You could do a scenario (I'm not a tasker user):

If docked (or usb connected) then launch daydream
[Android Apps and Games] HB66:
Does anybody have a problem with the phone being on while making a phone call? My face touchs and causing the pull down to open and stuff. Love the app, I use proximity autolock to lock and unlock phone from my wallet case.
[Android Apps and Games] sman789:
Great work! Is there a way to decrease auto screen off time in the display settings? Instead of having the lowest seeing of 15 seconds, 5 would be primo with this app.
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
I didn't have any problem. During call screen turns on and off regularly. You could try my other app Smart Screen OFF instead of proximity autolock which I don't know how it works.

This will be added next in the PRO version.
[Android Apps and Games] skyjedi:
Would it be possible to have a proxy override? I think my screen was on in my pocket for an extended period of time. I have Smartscreen on but don't see that option
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
Today I had the same issue, the phone was in my pocket for a few hours and I lost nearly 30% battery in that time.

After checking the batter stats I noticed that the screen had been on for long period.

My guess is that I somehow touched the home button turning on the screen. Because the phone's angle while in my pocket was within the set range the screen never timed out.

I'm also running Smart Screen Off Pro, but unfortunately that didn't prevent the screen from turning off in this situation.

It would be nice if Keep Screen On would be disabled when the phone is locked, that would prevent these situations.

---------- Post added at 12:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 AM ----------

That's what I did, set daydream to run when docked, and use Tasker to enable Car mode when on ext pwr/connected home & work WiFi/screen off, and disable car mode with the exit task.

This works perfect, and because car mode is only enabled at screen off you won't notice the car mode.
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
Yes, you are right, in next version I'll add a checkbox to disable app when an object is detected near proximity sensor.
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
Disable when near proximity sensor has been implemented.

Is currently being tested, I'll probably update the app tomorrow.
[Android Apps and Games] rorycs:
Seems this app is similar to one that has been available for a while on the market called Screebl.
[Android Apps and Games] Oatswesow:
Very Nice!!!
[Android Apps and Games] talhamid:
Amazing app, I am a great fan of 'Smart Screen ON' and only stopped using it when I got Xperia Z whose power button is amazingly convenient. However, Keep Screen ON doesn't work at all on my Xperia Z. I installed it, made configurations, and restarted it several times, also rebooted the phone. My phone is completely stock. In test mode, as well as notification bar, the icon turns grey but screen doesn't turn off. Any ideas?

Thanks for making this app.

Would love to see a safe settings .. Like off after x min even if it vertical.

Just bought the pro version on play store. Can you plz fix issue with phone being in jeans pocket. I think this is the most asked about so far if you can include this in the next fix would be good. Also a feature to the disable the feature when phone is locked. :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] Darkstriker:
Alright, I don't usually have a problem with promoting apps through xda if they are original and useful, but this one is a rather blatant copy of screebl, which has been on the market for years.

Also, it has tasker integration as both trigger as well as target.

I'm rather surprised you managed the front page with this.

Besides, all those features being requested here are already available in screebl.

So what, there are also dozens of screen capture apps and nobody is complaining about that.

Let give users a choice. Screebl isn't working for me on Android 4.2.x, tried many times it just keeps disabling itself, this app works perfect for me. So I'm happy with having a for me working alternative.

Please continue development.
[Android Apps and Games] skpManiac:
This sounds like a great idea, but how does the software cope when it is in your back pocket in your trousers? Mine is there lots when I am out and about but this seems to be the same position as when I am using it?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] DDeleted:
Try to send me a logcat while running the app. Maybe there's something wrong with compass.

In pro version there's a convenient feature which allows to disable app when charging.

I'm just uploading an update for PRO version, including proximity implementation to disable app when an object is detected near the sensor.

It's weird, it looks like your compass is not working. Check this thread, it looks a very similar problem

Yes, it's not working on my GN too. Also consider price difference, screebl costs twice. Thanks for supporting me.

I'm just uploading an update for PRO version, including proximity implementation to disable app when an object is detected near the sensor. It should be live within some hours.

Check if orientation sensor is working using an app like this.
[Android Apps and Games] talhamid:
Sincerely appreciate your lighting fast response.

I installed the app, and the orientation sensor, accelerometer and gyroscope, all are working. The green pointer in the 'accuracy' setting of your app is also working, and the head turns green and grey at the right moments. The only thing not working is screen turning off and back on. I have also disabled the lockscreen but that hasn't helped.
[Android Apps and Games] NishantM:
Working fine on my Nexus 4, which is completely stock but rooted. Bought the PRO version. Would be nice if you can add a feature which turns the screen off in say 3 - 5 seconds if we put our phone down. Just a suggestion.

What about the head in status bar at the top? Does it change color based on inclination?

It looks like wakelock is not acquired. A logcat while running the app (with service ON + save and restart app) and doing some inclination tests would help. You could send it by email.

[Android Apps and Games] tramp20:
Thank you, this sensor detection works perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] Slothello:
Some feedback on my experience. App only works when the interface is on (as in testing mode). I ran a log cat, and though I'm no developer, I noticed there were entries saying no compass found. Installed a compass app, and the screen on works...as long as the compass app is running. When I close it, the screen on only works within it's own interface. The taskbar icon works, it works like it should, but not when the screen on is minimized. The taskbar icon always stays green.

I'm running the 6.1 Carbon Rom. Hope this helps a bit. No logcat, I'm mobile, but off you want it, I'll upload from home. Great work, though, thanks for the contribution. Simple but affective way to keep the screen I think.

[Android Apps and Games] NishantM:
Proximity detection working great. Wouldn't that affect the battery life as I noticed the proximity sensor is always on after enabling it, checked using the camera method. If you could add a feature to define proximity polling interval in seconds, it would greatly reduce battery usage.
