[Android Apps and Games] suspect008:
Most Accurate among similar

Hello,

I have wrote a review on play store too for your app. but after heading here and reading lots of pages I thought of writing this.

1. App Exclusion List

I have read your F.A.Qs and I know you have stated that you wont be adding exclusion list. But again like most people here I also suggest adding the feature. As you have told, we can use tasker or llama or etc..but its gonna be a another app running another task and consuming ram and power. I have a SII HD and a nexus s. I dont mind running tasker on SII but nexus runs on only free ram of 80mb. though I dont have any automation apps installed in SII either. So when I play landscape games or watching videos, if i forgot to pause gravity screen turns off and goes to lockscreen. especially it hurts when playing something like asphalt or NOVA. so app exclusion list would be great. even only for pro version.

2.Screen off Delay and lock delay

This would be a another very useful feature to prevent accidential off.

3. Wakelocks

Im not sure if this is only me or others also have this. Here;s my configuration,

Pocket sensor angle - 0, table sensor - 0 lying face up not ticked. Screen off and on by proximity is checked. after that every other check boxes are unticked(on by motion, keep on by motion, alternative proximity method etc.), headphone support and notification is checked.

So basically what I expect is only to use proximity sensor as I have a flip cover. but when checked with wakelock detector, it shows considerably large wakelock for proximity sensor and also for the night. when checked battery bar on settings, its wake status is large even in night.(Phone is not lying face up. cover closed. I think closed flip cover is similar to phne lying face down right?)

I dont know what caused this but thought of mentioning it as I have seen others also saying about these wakelocks. and still sleep time feature would be great to reduce the drain.

4. Battery Drain

I get around 22% drain showed in settings for SII HD(4.1.2 rooted) for 20hrs of usage with 3.2hrs of screen on time and 16% of drain for 32hrs of usage of nexus s. as I sated above, I dont use motion sensors I only want proximity sensor but this is little bit more than a proximity sensor would use. I think this cause because of CpU wakes. I have tried automation beta and it had a option to choose wakelock type. one was CPU wake and other called Root method. I dont know what that is. when using CPU wake drain raised to 12%. but with root method wake lock, after a total day, its only 4% reported. But with it I experienced some delay of screen turn on when I wave hand. but with CPU Wake, its fast.

I have tried lots of apps for this purpose and gravity screen was the most reliable and accurate one. And even with these battery drain(I dont know whether its only me, I use it cuz I love this apps accuracy. again plexonor, its your app thats most light weighted and have minimal memory footprint. but why dont give it little more weight and I think users wouldn,t mind giving 4mb ram for complete suite and of course paying little more even for pro version. thanks for this amazing app.
