Ahh...I see. "Smart Lock" disables screen lock when you are connected to a bluetooth or a NFC device in Android L, correct?

I thought it was just another delay lock thingy. Haven't moved on to L myself. Don't feel the urge.

Anyhoo, it's exactly the same idea. Just have your Llama UNLOCK the device (and disable patter/pin lock too depending on what you use) when you connect to whatever of your choice AND when screen turns off...

And, of course, don't use your Smart Lock.
[Android Apps and Games] jt3:
Well, at least the "Smart Lock" issue has been reported on the AOSP Issue Tracker site: https://code.google.com/p/android/i...ck&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars. (Everyone should go to that page and "Star" this item to help raise its priority.)

I notice that our friendly Gravity Screen developer has commented on that issue, so if/when Google fixes it, he'll get the word. I also notice that the app page on the Play store has been updated to acknowledge the issue.

Hi guys!

I just update my Nexus 4 to Android 5 and Gravity Screen stops. Is it a know bug?

Can I do something to fix this?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] d8v8n8:
Hi All,

I sincerely love Gravity Screen and the ease with which it allows my phone to be woken up upon touch. But a couple of its features are eating ravenously at my battery juice by preventing the OS from entering into deep sleep, even while the screen is OFF. I can go a full day of usage (Wi-fi only, no 3G or 4G) but with Gravity, I need to recharge twice or three times a day. I've pinpoint the culprits and hope that someone could help me tweak the app or give me some advice.

Hence, could anyone please tell me how to have the option "Turn Screen ON by Proximity" checked while allowing the phone to enter the deep sleep state? Secondarily, with the function "Booster" ON as well, however, this is less crucial for my usage.

For your information, I use Battery Monitor Stats to specifically monitor the deep sleep state.

My phone is rooted but with vanilla Jelly Bean 4.2.2.

Thank you all for your help. I sincerely appreciate it.

Regards

Please add a option so that the display will turn off allways when you put it in the pocket no mather if the phone is in the right position. PROXIMITI+LIGHT SENSOR. If the light is 0 and proximity is 1 then the display should turn off.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
This issue probably comes from the ROM you are using. As a first advise I can recommend to try the app with another ROM. Your device should enter deep sleep while the proximity sensor is on.

LOLLIPOP - Known Issues

The following features are not supported due to Android restrictions:

- Smart Lock inactive if the device was locked by GS. Possible workaround: Menu - Delayed lock - Alternative Turn Off method

- Exclude apps does not get running tasks info

- Delayed Password Lock: not possible to reset the password to null anymore
[Android Apps and Games] d8v8n8:
Hello Plexnor,

Thank you very much for the suggestion; it seems sound to me indeed. :good: Although I'm using the manufacturer's ROM (Alcatel: One Touch Idol S 6034R), it was probably customized for this phone specifically :(

I love your app though :[]. Thank you for your work, I love it.
[Android Apps and Games] joksik:
can you add one option "sleeping time" ? after we set the time for example 23.00-5.00 the gravity app will be disable and after 5.00 it will be work again. i think after this option battery use will be less
[Android Apps and Games] garyHal:
I just received my Nexus 6 and the first thing I installed was Gravity Screen. Seems that most of the features in GS still works except for when its laying flat on the table facing up. It won't lock the screen.

Is something wrong with my configuration or does GS need to be updated?
[Android Apps and Games] fango_vk:
.. hm, still not working properly, on xperia z1 and xperia j sometimes will wake screen with motion or swipe the sensor, sometimes not ... second problem is screen wont go off after recommended 15sec

any suggestion?

thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] garyHal:
Same issue here. It won't turn off when facing up or obey the phone's 15 second idle time.

UPDATE - I guess due to the curved back of the Nexus 6 and the glossy back, minor trembles kept the phone on. Reducing the sensitivity of the "Keep On..." fixed it.
[Android Apps and Games] jt3:
^^^This. I noticed that I had to turn my sensitivity WAAAAY down on the N6, compared to my N5. I used to have my N5 sensitivity set to 35%, which worked perfectly, but I noticed that when setting my N6 in the DT-910 wireless charger (upright dock) at that setting, I could see the "test" number (in the sensitivity section) constantly blinking.

Turning the sensitivity all the way down to 20 allowed my N6 to stay on while I'm holding it, but allow it to shut off when laying on a table or on the charger. It seems that the motion sensor on the N6 is uber-sensitive.
[Android Apps and Games] moosha:
I noticed that the phone turned on and didn't turn off when kept on the table at night. I had left it on the table and didn't touch it for 3 hours and it suddenly switched on. It used to turn on and off when I used to constantly use it
[Android Apps and Games] brotbuexe:
Smartlock Workaround works fine, thanks. Can we use your workaround outside the app, maybe start an activity to run a manual screen off?

I use tasker sometimes to switch the screen off and I did not found any solution yet to keep the smart lock running with it.

Edit:

Found the solution with tasker. "Run shell" command activity with root enabled, command is "input keyevent 26".
[Android Apps and Games] Parinibbana:
Lying Face Up-function stuck

Dear Dev,

Thanks for this great app. I especially enjoy the "Keep Screen ON by Motion"-function.

For the first couple of days since I installed the app everything worked fine.

But now, whenever I put the phone on the table, or even just tilt it (horizontally) in my hand, the display automatically turns off. The "Lying Face Up"-function, however, is deactivated.

But if I put it down very slowly, that won´t happen.

I already cleared the cache, as well as re-installed the app anew from the PlayStore, but the issue maintains.

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
It should not happen with default settings. Does it happen if you pause the app?
[Android Apps and Games] Parinibbana:
Yes, it also happened when I paused the app.

But just now you mentioned the default settings, which I had not tried before.

I set them to default and voilá, it works again.

After that I set the settings exactly the same as I had them before. Now it also works with my settings.

I don´t know what was wrong before, that even a fresh install didn´t help.

Anyway, now it´s fine again. If the error comes back I´ll keep you posted.

Thanks for the quick response.
[Android Apps and Games] KevinC4:
I use Gravity Screen on my Nexus 5 inside a flip case. So I only need the proximity sensor for turning screen automatically on and off. My problem is sometimes the sensor seems to get frozen. If I open the flip case the screen stays off. Turning the screen manually on, Gravity Screen turns it off immediately.
[Android Apps and Games] szunyi77:
Hello [MENTION=4914137]plexnor[/MENTION]

First of all, thank you for this useful app, very useful!

Could expand the application, such as auto Start-stop?

I have in mind here that night to turn off automatically. For example, in order to restore this: Start Time: 22: 00 End: 08:00 ...

I hope you understand ?!

I think it would be a useful feature ...
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
The app supports the Locale plug-in which is accepted by Tasker, Llama etc. Thus you can pause or resume my app anytime according to your needs.

Location in Llama: Actions -> Locale plug-in and there you are, you can select the Gravity app to control it.
[Android Apps and Games] ssomani123:

Hello everyone!!

First of all, thanks for this great app. I love it! :D

The only issue I'm having with it on my Nexus 5 is that when the screen is locked (either upside down or in my pocket) and someone calls me, then it just vibrates once, so I've been missing lots of calls.

I didn't find any setting to fix this. Any clues? :confused:

EDIT: Got it working by unchecking "Running During Call" checkbox. :angel:
[Android Apps and Games] Imranhakro:
Great app but...

i notice it's having conflict with smart lock on my nexus 5 stock having lollipop 5.0.1

i have enabled trusted face in smart lock. But it only works when i press power button to turn phone off.

If the phone screen is turned off by gravity screen, it always ask me for unlock pattern and smart lock doesnt work. but if i lock device by pressing power button before putting it into my pocket, on taking it out then smart lock works.

anyone???
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:

Suspendscreen disturb usage - how to disable?

Dear all,

I use Gravity Screen on Sony Xperia X1 compact with 4.4.4 Stock.

Sometimes I got a blackscreen (exclude app screen) from gravity screen. Mostly when I'm unlocking the screen.

I don't know why, because I don't want to lock my phone with gravity screen.

I tryed different configurations. Actually I use these:

Pocketsensor:
60°
Any Direction off
Landscape Mode off

Table Sensor 0°
Lying Face Up off

Turn Screen OFF by Proximity off
Turn Screen ON by Proximity on

Turn Screen ON by Motion on
Timeout 3min.
Sensitivity 22

False... off
False... off

Keep Screen ON by Motion on
100%
Booster off

Headphone support off
Running During Call on
Vibration off
Disable Lockscreen off
Notification on
Low Prio on
Start at boot on

Delayed Lock:
Delayed password... off
Smart Lock on
Alternative proximity method off

How I disable this "exclude app screen"?

[Android Apps and Games] m1dy:
have been using this app for a year now and could't live without it anymore.

now here's a problem...

i got myself a lg g watch

got lollipop on the g watch and on my nexus 5

if i wanna start navigating from my watch with voice commands stupid android wear activates the display of the phone and starts maps to calculate route and whatever. and if my phone is in my pocket gravity screen will turn the display off right after my watch turned it on. that seems to interfere with the process and my watch tells me to look at my phone and i have to start navigation from there...

i haven't found a way to stop it from activating the display when i try to navigate from my watch. i suppose its a software limitation from maps or something...

is anyone more clever than me or can think of a workaround?

i think one possibility would be if there was an option in gravity screen to whitelist google maps to run with display on even when in pocket for 5 seconds and then turn it off...

everything would be cool if it didn't need the screen to be turned on...

even if i wasn't using gravity screen this behavior would disturb me
[Android Apps and Games] Adrianrff:
Hi, [MENTION=4914137]plexnor[/MENTION]. I'm having a little problem with the table sensor feature, it works fine most of the times, but sometimes after I lay the phone facing up, the app will turn the screen off as it should, but immediately after it turns on again.

I'm also noticing that the screen sometimes randomly turns on, the device is not moving nor is the proximity sensor being activated by anything.

Any idea what might be going on?

Thanks in advance.

Screen turns off at slightest touch

I have Gravity Screen installed on a Blu Studio 5.0 HD phone. Gravity was working okay on the free version. Today I upgraded to the Pro version because I wanted to use the Landscape setting. The Pro version turns the screen off whenever I touch the side of the phone or move the phone even slightly. Even the slightest touch or movement turns the screen off.

To fix this problem, I experimented with the various settings:

* The "Sensitivity" number has no effect. (I tried several different numbers there, ranging from 0 to 70.)

* I never put the phone into a pocket. But to try fixing the problem, I also changed the Pocket Sensor percent. I currently have it at 90%, but I also tried it at lower percentages. This had no effect on the problem.

* I have Table Sensor currently set at 66%. I also tried it set at 90%.

* Turn Screen OFF by Proximity is NOT selected

* Turn ON by Proximity: I tested turning this setting on and off. Either way, the screen turns off at the slightest movement.

* Turn screen ON by Motion is selected. This is the reason I want to use this app. This does work initially. Then the screen immediately goes dark again (due to me moving the phone).

* False Turn-On settings: both de-selected

* Keep Screen on by Motion: selected

Sensitivity: I experimented with a wide range of numbers, including zero. This number had no effect on the problem.

Booster: selected

To sum up: The screen turn off when the phone is moved even slightly. It also turns off when I touch any part of the phone's sides.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
Have you tried a reboot or/and reinstall?
[Android Apps and Games] Joyce1000:
response

Rebooting didn't help. I am not going to re-install, because a re-install requires me to pay twice. Even though the Pro version is already installed on my smartphone (after I paid for it), Google Play Store does not recognize this. When I went to the Google Play menu this morning, it asked me to pay again. This, by the way, is another bug in this product. The Pro version is already installed on my phone, so why should I have to pay again for the same product, on the same phone?

Hi Plexnor, I moved to Lollipop and I just noticed that the whitelist is not supported in LP? Is that a temporary issue or a permanent problem?
[Android Apps and Games] Quaresma_7:
I have an idea for a feature that would be extremely useful to me and probably many others. I don't know if it can be done, but the idea is this.

I set the timeout for turn screen on by motion to 1 minute. That way I can quickly continue using the phone if I remember to do something right after I leave it, and it doesn't waste a lot of battery on the wakelock and the gravity sensor.

Can you make it so that when I get an SMS or any other type of notification (Whatsapp, Facebook etc.) it restarts the set timeout for 'turn screen on by motion'? I often have my phone lying on the table next to me and when I get a Whatsapp message, I have to unlock it (or swipe the proximity sensor). This would enable me to instantly read the message if my phone is next to me.

[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:

This idea is not too bad. But if you keep your phone face down you can get the same result with less wakelocks.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
Swipe over the proximity sensor.
[Android Apps and Games] latino147:
The problem is that 50% of the times the screen goes of before being able to enable the screen on function. I think it might depend on the app that's active at the moment.

[Android Apps and Games] AlexanderBig:
Does anyone have an issue where the screen won't turn off unless it's turned off by gravity screen? I sometimes drop the phone on my bed or rest it on my leg and it sits at a weird angle that won't toggle the table sensor and the screen just stays on forever. Is there a fix for that?
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
Probably the Keep screen on by motion sensitivity is set too high.
[Android Apps and Games] AlexanderBig:
That seemed to fix it, thanks.

I'm having another issue though regarding smart lock on android lollipop. As others have mentioned in the thread, gravity screen is messing up smart lock on my device. I have checked the "Alternative Turn Off Method (Smart Lock)" box and have given device administration rights to both Gravity Screen services. Sometimes it works fine and others it asks for a pin every time I use the proximity sensor or the turn screen on by motion feature while smart lock works fine if I use the power button to turn the screen on. Is there a fix for that I may have missed while skimming through the thread?

Thanks!

Issue with SmartLock

Since upgrading my HTC One M8 to Lollipop last week and activating Smartlock (both on the phone, and Smartlock support on Gravity Screen) I am having an issue. Everything will be fine until the first time Gravity Screen turns off the screen. From then on, whenever the screen is on, it will turn off whenever anything gets near the proximity sensor regardless of the phone's position. If I pause and restart Gravity sensor, the problem clears until the next time Gravity Sensor legitimately turns off the screen.

If I disable smartlock support the problem goes away, but the phone is locked every time I turn it on rather than following the phone's lock timer and smartlock settings.

I have for now disabled smartlock on the phone, but am hoping to see a fix for this since smartlock was the Lollipop feature I was most looking forward to.

Thanks,

Alan
[Android Apps and Games] :
First of, great app. I've been using it for a couple weeks on my Nexus 5.

However, I've just updated to android 5.1 and gravity screen is killing my battery. There are now loads of screen wakelocks. And it's draining about 5% an hour. This is while the phone is face down doing nothing.

Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix coming soon?
[Android Apps and Games] thetechguru:
I Think you can ignore my trouble report (2 posts up) . I discovered it only occurs when I don't let the phone fully turn off before using it again (which is why I didn't notice it right away. Occurred when I pit the phone diwn, but then picked it up in just a few seconds. If I leave it off for more than 10 seconds it works fine).
[Android Apps and Games] drumwizard:
Everytime i click on the download link, it doesnt do anything...anyone else having issues?
[Android Apps and Games] EonsTimE:
Hi, I have a feature suggestion:

Add a timer that will make program not turn the screen on for xx seconds if power button was pressed to turn off the screen.

This would be especially helpful if you want to put phone in pocket or purse and you are afraid that something will touch the screen in your pocket/bag/purse and activate some programs/phone calls before Gravity Screen turns off the screen.

So it's like few seconds of immunity from screen turn off->turn on->turn off.
