It happens when we have trouble turning screen off and thus use the power button. As said above screen goes off without trouble when facing up but won't shut down when facing up our when proximity is covered pouring it into pocket. Just to be clear, with the exact same settings v.1.70 worked like a charm...
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
The new version, 1.72, takes more seriously the Turn-on by motion timeout. Does the issue happen within the timeout?
[Android Apps and Games] matchqq:
Yes you're right. After I set the time out to much longer than 10 min, there are no more no turning on. But before even if the time out was reached (10 min), it still wouldn't trigger auto turn on ?
[Android Apps and Games] Gil81:
I have the pro version...but the last two updates will not work on my tablet. The device doesn't have a proximity sensor , so I use the on by motion and and table sensor. I bought the pro version so I could extend the time out on screen on by motion.

I have an older version of the apk saved that works but I don't have the pro key on that version...would it be possible to gain pro access on that version. I think its version 1.60.

Or would you like a logcat...to see if the problem can be fixed...? I'm game for how ever you want to proceed. Just really want to get it working. It is a great app...good job.

The current ROM I'm running is in my SIG...its 4.3 cm based on a galaxy tab 10.1 WiFi only ( p7510 )

Thanks...

Where can i find local-plugin for llama of gravity screen ?

thx
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
It comes together with GS.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
Only the v1.70 should fail on your device. Please, send me a feedback from the app, you can find older versions in the OP.
[Android Apps and Games] wigginst:
Working well so far on my Evo V. Thanks for this! The kernel I am using does not have sweep to wake but this makes a nice replacement.
[Android Apps and Games] karanrajpal14:
Hey plexnor I've sent you an email with a few requests. Could you please look into them? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] spix123:
The " - Turn Screen Off by Proximity: If the device is pointing downward it takes the proximity sensor into account. By turning this off the program will rely only on the gravity sensor." does not work properly.

When disabled it still turns off the screen when something is close to it, but the screen doesn't shut off properly instead stays a sort of grey. When you try to wake it with proximity sensor nothing happens, you have to use power button.

When enabled, it works better. Sometimes though it turns off the screen but it comes back on right away.
[Android Apps and Games] Adolflow:
So if I go in the menu and select exclude apps I'm presented with an unlocker purchase option is that the same as buying the pro version? Because it seems like 10 cents cheaper
[Android Apps and Games] bflmpsvz:
HI

I'm utterly getting to make this app usable. Mostly it doesnot turn the screen off when I put the phone into pocket (both upside-down+gravity sensor conditions are met). If I simulate the movement and cover the sensor by hand I see it doesnot turn off or it turns off but immediately turns on again. I don't understand how this is invoked if the proxi sensor still covered. Anybody got this fine tune to prevent unwanted turnons?
[Android Apps and Games] Crysis85:
Hello,

I'm starting using this app on my new Nexus 5 (hoping it's mercyfull with the battery)

I've activated the pocket sensor (with proximity on and proximity off) and it works OK.

Then i tried the table sensor.

When i put down the phone face down its screen turn off ok, but then when I pick it up it doesnt turn on sometimes and i have to swipe (not a big problem to be honest tho)

The worse behavior it's when i use the option to turn it off facing up. It turn off ok almost istantaniously but if I have to use the phone while it's still face up on the table swiping the sensor doesnt keep the screen on consistently, sometimes it turns off immediately after turning on, other times after a few seconds, and other times again it works ok as it should.

Do you have any clues why it does that?
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
As long as the phone is flat on the table it will turn off. You can bypass this by swiping the proximity sensor, that will keep your screen on for 1 minute. Covering the proximity sensor a few seconds while the phone is flat will keep the screen on for 5 min.
[Android Apps and Games] Crysis85:
Yeah I get that except that doesn't work all the time. Even if I see the message 1 minute...the screen may be turning off immediately.
[Android Apps and Games] Travelawyer:
Same behaviour here on my Nexus 5.
[Android Apps and Games] Crysis85:
For the moment I deactivated the face up table sensor. With idle time of 30 seconds the screen turn off pretty quick anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] kien_vip:
eat too much battery, sometime function not work truretly. hope u can fix it in future
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
That shouldn't a problem with the extensive debug information you are providing :rolleyes:

Not even the most basic information like Phone and Rom are given. Do you think the developer has some magic power so he/she can guess what's going on on your phone.
[Android Apps and Games] klyzon:
how do i make it screen off when my phone is wireless charging upright?

apparently it keeps the screen awake. All other functions of Gravity Screen works well on my nexus 5 tho
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
That should work if not lower the sensitivity.
[Android Apps and Games] klyzon:
that worked! thanks for your help! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] 8eaker:
Installed pro version, but the exclude option isn't there. How do you get both exclude apps and 16hr detection?
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
The exclude app list available only in the Unlocked version of the app. Please follow the description

- turn off the Pro version.

- install the free version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenofffree This will be unlocked if the Pro is installed

- select the apps you would like to blacklist.

Sorry about to make it complex little bit. The Exclude apps list available only by IAP because security reasons.
[Android Apps and Games] garyHal:
I am using the free version and it works fine so far and has met my needs.

I am curious what extras are added in the pro version though. Can anyone please explain "In the Pro version the screen can be turned on by motion up to 16 hours instead of 15 minutes. Also, in the Pro version the Table sensor is more accurate." What is this motion time? Whats the table accuracy difference between free and pro?
[Android Apps and Games] karanrajpal14:
Could you just add the exclude apps functionality to the pro app? It's kinda annoying to have two apps installed and they take up space in the drawer too.
[Android Apps and Games] Rudjgaard:
After latest update proximity is working without problems

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] garyHal:
I was really happy with the free version so I paid for the full. Now I am struggling with the device turning on via motion. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled it.

With the free version when I leave my phone facing up on the table, I can tilt it slightly towards me and it turns on. With the paid version, it refuses to turn on unless I use the proximity sensor.

My settings:

Nexus 5 4.4 stock

Pocket Sensor 60 degree

Table Sensor 10 degree

Lying Face Up Enabled

Turn Screen Off By Proximity Enabled

Turn Screen On By Proximity Enabled

Turn Screen On By Motion Enabled

Timeout Infinity

Sensitivity 15

False Turn On Protection In Pocket Enabled

Keep Screen On By Motion Enabled

Sensitivity 50

Notification Enabled

Start At Boot Enabled

UPDATE - It seems that there is a 5 second window after the screen is turned off that I can still wake the device. Beyond that, tossing the phone around won't turn it on.
[Android Apps and Games] ihatelolcats:
i have "proximity on" disabled but it still works on my nexus 5
[Android Apps and Games] 8eaker:
Thanks. That seems to have done the trick. Can I then uninstall pro or do I need both to remain?
[Android Apps and Games] Rudjgaard:
Hmmm i just realized that proximity stops working when the charger is connected.

It worked fine for over a day but when I charged the phone proximity on and off stopped working :S

Any way I can help you debug this?
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
Please, change the timeout from infinite to something else; it's buggy. I'll fix it soon.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
It looks like a bug in the rom. And how can you make my app work again?
[Android Apps and Games] Rudjgaard:
I have to uninstall and reinstall, nothing else works

Turn off, deactivate, wipe data don't do anything :S

Could it be fault of how device admin works on the rom?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hi,

I got an galaxy s4 with slimbean rom (aosp based) and i got a small problem with gravity.

It works perfectly, except when i got led notification working. As soon as i receive a call or sms, the notification led is blinking, and gravity doesn't wake up my screen anymore when the proximity sensor should.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Rudjgaard:
Ok i am doing different trials, still have to confirm it

but my problems could be caused by auto-brightness

I turned it off and everything is working fine (for now ;) )
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
The app is not monitoring if the device is charging. Thus, it should not be any correlation. And is another features of my app working fine?
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
All right, I just read it now after sending my comment.
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
Weird, I'm also running SlimBean on my S4 and don't have the issues you are having.
[Android Apps and Games] Rudjgaard:
Everything has been working fine since my last message so we can assume that 99% sure the problem is auto brightness

A little more running then I can donate happily ;)
[Android Apps and Games] :
Humm, what is wrong here then... I use stock kernel.

Administration is on for gravity.

I use custom colors for the notifications. and i added sms as application.

Do you see something else ?
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
I'm using Light Manager to control led notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilD41:
Running Gravity Screen on my GNex (Toro) with SlimKat 4.4. LOVE the idea of the app, but I have full wake-lock even with "turn screen on with motion" disabled. Anyone else having luck with it on the Toro? I could really get use to the benefits of this app, but not with the battery pull of 15% an hour. :) Also up for ideas on things to check. Would love for this to be solvable.

Default turn off after turned on via proximity sensor

On a Samsung Note 2 running Android 4.3......

Just purchased the pro version of your application earlier today...

With the phone face up on the table. I can turn it on by waving my hand in front of the proximity sensor. But the phone seems to stay on. Is there a way to set it so it will automatically go off after 1 minute (in the same position--face up)? I know I could turn it over but I want to be able to see the notification lights flash.

Thanks for your time.
[Android Apps and Games] garyHal:
The info is on the first post, I think. When you wave your hand over the phone, its defaulted to be awake for 1 minute. Jiggle the phone and it goes back to sleep using its normal time out.
[Android Apps and Games] vagos72:

hello just purchased the pro version of your application yesterday very good. apps.

Today when my battery is under 15% and the red light is on , the screen do not close when the screen face is up.(the same thing when charge the battery)

[Android Apps and Games] Azick:
Good app. Thanks. But can anybody help me to customize it?

1. Need to turn off screen when lay it on table. It's don't want to turn off :)

2. Need to turn on when I take it to hand ( from table or another place)

3. Don't want to turn off stock lockscreen.

I'm using pro version. Is these things possible? Thanks for any help!!
[Android Apps and Games] jt3:
This is an amazing product – Kudos to the dev. Works excellently on my Nexus 5.

My only request is that the face-up table sensor be suspended when charging (or at least an option to do so). When I place my phone on its wireless charger, I'd like it to go into daydream mode, but GS simply shuts the phone off. If table-sensing (face-up) only worked off the charger I wouldn't have to choose. Any chance that could be added?
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
The exact same situation is working great for me. face-up table sensor enabled and with the phone on the wireless charger daydream mode starts working a few seconds later.
[Android Apps and Games] jt3:
Hmm... on mine, if the face up sensor is active, then the phone goes completely to standby when placed on the wireless charger. Different devices must handle that differently, or I have something set wrong. Not sure what it could be though. I did try using the "alternate turn off method," but that didn't work at all.
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
I have the "Alternative Turn Off Method" enabled, give it a try.
[Android Apps and Games] jt3:
Sorry... I'd edited my post to cover that, but it must have been while you were replying. The alternate turn off method won't turn off my Nexus 5 at all.
[Android Apps and Games] garyHal:
So GS has stopped working on my phone and I am uninstalling and reinstalling it to see if it resolves the issue. I noticed on Google Store that the latest version is 1.74.3 but when my phone downloads, it is still downloading 1.73. How do I force it to update?
[Android Apps and Games] wheeliemonster:
App exclusion

Hi - loving the app, thank you.

I have an issue with the excluded apps part though (I have the Pro edition) - it seems to pause GS even though an app is running in the background. That doesn't seem to be much use to me? Seeing as Android certainly doesn't kill an app when you switch away from it (not immediately anyway) Shouldn't it work such that the foreground app is what is being checked for on the exclusion list.

For example, I'd exclude, say BBC iPlayer app, so that I can set the phone down to watch a program, but then when finished, I might switch back to the home screen and put the phone on the desk. At this point, the BBC iPlayer app is still running in the background, so GS does not re-enable itself and the phone doesn't sleep.

Or have I got the settings all wrong? :)

Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
Are you sure you are talking about the correct app.

I'm also using the Pro version and I have never found an "excluded apps part"

If it's in the app, it's very well hidden.
[Android Apps and Games] wheeliemonster:
Hit the menu button bottom left...!
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
Like I said, it's very well hidden :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] wheeliemonster:
Maybe the difference between in-app upgrade and Pro from Play Store??
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
I guess, still it's strange that depending on the unlock method it gives different options.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
Not everyone got that update intentionally. You will get a better soon.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
Thanks for reporting this. Next update will solve the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
Yeah, it's not in all version at the moment. Need to fix it before I put it into the Pro :)
[Android Apps and Games] Mac of York:
Could you please add an option to disable in lockscreen? I'm using pro :) ty
[Android Apps and Games] karanrajpal14:
Scroll down to the end. There's an option to disable screen lock. [MENTION=4914137]plexnor[/MENTION] maybe you should rename it to " disable lockscreen" which is more correct. It won't confuse the users either.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
Thanks, I'm correcting it.
[Android Apps and Games] Vlad Paul:
This is the best app for my Nexus 4. Is very useful for me and make more easy my phone use experience. No need root or especialy kernel, just install and voila.

"Unfortunately gravity screen has stopped".... is this a known issue? Was working fine...
[Android Apps and Games] karanrajpal14:
Try reinstalling it. Or clear data.
[Android Apps and Games] Mac of York:
I don't want to disable the lock screen... I want it to not work while the phone is locked but on. Disabling screen lock just turns off the lock screen xD
[Android Apps and Games] karanrajpal14:
Oh ok lol! Misunderstood you. Well only the dev can answer this.
[Android Apps and Games] IronMit:
HTC One- interesting app - gravity /proximity priority

I read through every option carefully and tried to make it work like I want it to work - I don't want the proximity sensor on until the gravity sensor tells it conditions have changed. (otherwise the proximity sensor is always on) Proximity takes up the most battery doesn't it?

However whatever setting I try, in practice the prox sensor is always on. I hold the phone upside down...and then I wave over the sensor and the screen will flash and quickly turn off. This tells me the proximity sensor turns on and then talks to the gravity sensor and is like oops! Shouldn't it be the other way round?

The option to turn off the prox. sensor completly when the phone is on a table, but still have it on for the pocket in/out bit would be great too.

I find myself pausing and unpausing the app way too much due to customisation limitations...which kind of defeats the purpose of it.

Anyway, great work. Sorry if I sound unappreciative, it has actually improved aspects of my day to day use!
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
The proximity sensor is not so battery hungry as it looks :) No point to pause the app because of its consumption.
[Android Apps and Games] nimrodity:
I have a request/question. Would it be possible to set some time out for the screen after waking up while face up.

My scenario, I want to wake it laying on the table with a swipe over the proximity sensor, what I then is the lockscreen, would like to be able set a time out so would turn off again after few secs so I can see the time or what not without having touch device again so the table turn off feature gets used. Is that possible?

And I also have one issue. If I try to turn off the phone putting it face down on my red leather couch, it turns off a bit before it's laying but once it's on the couch it turns on while face down on the couch. How can I avoid this? It works fine on other surfaces but not on the couch.
[Android Apps and Games] nimrodity:
I really like this app on my N5 so I decided to review it

[Android Apps and Games] kewkie:
Hey there,

i'm using this app and acutally love it :)

But when my phone is off for a while (i think for around 20-30 minutes) the app doesnt work. So the screen wont turn on when i pick it up, before this time it works without any issues.

I just changed "pm.sleep_mode" to 1 in the build.prop. Could it be the cause?
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
I'm also seeing this sometimes. There are situations where even after a long period >1h the screen turn on nicely and in other situations it won't work 5min. after screen off.

I only use the proximity to turn screen on.
[Android Apps and Games] kewkie:
Alright, i just thought its because of the "deeper sleep" (pm.sleep_mode). Maybe it will be updated :)

It's a lovely app, i just found it and will keep it.
[Android Apps and Games] clambert11:
New to the app but loving it. I'd like a way to turn the screen off with a gesture. How about extended proximity hold (past the 5 minute screen on extension) = screen off? Or is this option already available in a different manner?
[Android Apps and Games] clambert11:
I'm not sure if this is a bug or not. I seem to be able to duplicate it regularly.

Gravity Screen Pro 1.74.3

Table Sensor with Lying Face Up Enabled

I'm holding my phone, mistakenly power it off with the power button, and then place it on the table.

While on the table I wake the phone with proximity.

The screen comes on for a second and then shuts off (instead of staying on).

It's almost like it's remembering to turn it off when lying it on the table after I have already powered it off with the button.

Can anyone else verify this is also happening?

Apps stop working + Gravity sensor frozen...

Hey there,

I'm using this app in my HTC One XL (Android 4.1.1) and I do love it !!! Thanks so much for the hard work.

Nevertheless when using my phone for a while (around 1-2 hours) the app stops working and Gravity sensor was also frozen.

Another problem is App still working but Gravity sensor frozen which leads to screen does not turn off when I put my phone in my pocket.

Please help fix above issues.

Thanks so much.

[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
In practice it does not work, it has been tried.

Thanks for reporting. It's kind of side effect if you are using the power button.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
The firs is a little bit complex because sometimes you want just to have a look, sometimes you want to use your device while it's on a table. I could not find any good solution so far, so I'm not touching the normal timeouts.

For the coach problem you can use the False turn on protection in pocket option.

Turns off while playing video

I have a Nexus 5 and I installed Gravity Screen yesterday. I have it set to turn off if it's on a table face up. But if it's playing a video on a table face up it shuts down. Is there a way to keep the screen on when playing a video?

[Android Apps and Games] AndroGuru:
[MENTION=4914137]plexnor[/MENTION] I am using v 1.76.6 When I have headset protection enabled it stops the gravity sensor. I don't know if it is a bug or normal behavior. Because suppose when I am using the phone at home and put it down while the headset connected it won't turn the screen off. If it's normal behavior then it reduces the usefulness of the app because one would be required to activate headset protection only when one wishes to put it in pocket. In essence both the sensors should be running with maybe proximity sensor taking over in pocket and gravity sensor outside.

Please add led flicker feature when turn on screen or turn off screen. I wish led notification to flicker 1 second when app turn on or off the screen. This feature(led flicker) will make more cool our experience. :victory: I love this app, is nr1 on my N4 top apps.:cool: I use it en in my optimus Sol.

[Android Apps and Games] sci05:
Tried the free version and I love it. I will probably be purchasing right after this post. Wondering if the setting for turning screen on with prox (which is bundled with the table sensor) could be made as a seperate checkbox option. I like the face down screen off but having the screen turn on whenever the prox sensor is activated can be annoying sometimes. Just my opinion.

i can't manage to use this app on my nexus 4 when have headphone connected...yes i read the faq about this...

i use the proximity sensor any direction for sleep/awake in pocket and the lying face up to turn off the screen, while i use the motion sensor only to keep screen on so nothing wake up..

when connect the headphone i hear the buzz noise on media playing, tried to disable proximity sensor (both opt.) and turn on the headphone mode but this will not solve the problem and the app seems to stop working even if unplug the headset.

i'm sorry if this have already answered, but don't follow the thread...
