Those settings you mentioned do not affect the screen turning off on a table. I asked the dev and he told me to turn down the sensitivity and it worked. I uninstalled it anyway because it was draining my battery compared to dt2w.

Is there anybody use greenify with this app? Before use greenify, this apps work wonderful woth no prob. But after use greenify, my screen does not wake up when i pick up from facing down. I need to tap the proximity sensor. Is there any workaround on this problem?

I have the unlocked version and I can't seem to change the Table sensor degree.

Is there any other option that blocks me of doing that?
[Android Apps and Games] najar360:
No, i dont greenify gravity.
[Android Apps and Games] sthoeft:
Got a Xperia Z1 and must say that it is working fine so far. Just installed and tested it and everything works as it should. Now I will have a look at the battery drain. But I don't think that it would be great because I just use the proximity sensor for switching on and this one I was told, doesn't use much energy.

A little update. Sometimes it seems that it won't work of the phone is in idle for a long time. Could it be that the app goes into deep sleep? Got stamina activated but this app is an exclusion. Also habe greenifyd installed but not greenify gravity.

My use case is that the phone is lying flat on my wireless charger most of the time while I am at work.

Is there a way to configure it such that only during charging, when I move the phone or when the phone is disconnected from the charger (I picked up the phone), then the screen comes on?
[Android Apps and Games] najar360:
You can use tasker and use gravity plugin.

I have the Unlocked version (in app purchase) Worked fine for months BUT recently it has started to revert to Free version and imposes the 15 min timeout!

I have to uninstall/reinstall to get the Unlocked version back ....

What's happening?!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Bubble-be:
It should, it does on my device.

I'm not sure, i guess it's on your end. I'm having no issues.
[Android Apps and Games] castalla:
Hmmm - hardly helpful! It worked for months, and now there are 2 issues:

The reset to locked version

Often, when the screen has been off for a few hours, I have to pause and unpause to get it to work again ... the timeout is set to infinity.

Grrrrrrrr!

It would be nice to have an option to not wake up on motion if the torch is on. Many phones have a way to turn on the torch while the screen is still off (mine does it with a gesture on the screen for example). But when you hold the phone up Gravity Screen wants to turn it on again.

I tried to do this with Tasker but can't find a way to detect if the torch is on.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
To overcome this issue I'm using the Persistent turn off widget.

Is screen sleep equal to lock?

I am a Gravity Pro subscriber. When the phone is place face down and the screen turns off I must always unlock the phone upon picking it up. Even if only a few seconds have gone by. Doesn't seem right. Am I missing some setting?

Thanks

Is there a way to increase the sensitivity of the proximity sensor? My phone won't wake unless I tilt it towards a light source. Apologies if this has already been addressed.

[Android Apps and Games] AssassinGEO:
A little off-topic...

Why 4.1.2 on HTC One?
[Android Apps and Games] veemon147:
It's my understanding that OTA updates won't run on a rooted HTC One. I know it's possible to reverse the process and update but I've never been bothered enough to do so, or to flash a custom ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] bogdan1980:
Notice an problem on note3, kk442. I exclude phone and contacts app, but if somebody call me app tries to shutdown the screen, and interfere with proximity sensor that shutdown screen when call. How could we fix this?

If i click on Phone or contact app, gravity screen pause but if somebody call me, your app is still active....

Hope to explain this quite ok.

Possible improvements

Hi [MENTION=4914137]plexnor[/MENTION]

I can't own any device without your app now because it is really good!

There are only two cons for me (power consumption and response delay) that if they could be improved it would be awesome. That's why I have the following suggestions:

1. Screen-off delay setting so that we could choose how long it takes for the proximity sensor to work.

I've been testing other similar apps which have a little faster response, for example (Smart Screen), that's why my suggestion.

2. The "Lying Face Up" function without using the proximity sensor.

So that when there is no device movement it simply turns the screen off while on a table? If I leave the current option disabled I am forced to either manually turn the screen off or keep it on its face down, otherwise it takes too long to turn the screen off. As the proximity sensor consumes a lot of power, not using it in this case might be a good alternative... I say that because having the face up is a must to know when there are notifications for me to see.

Are these improvements possible?
[Android Apps and Games] bogdan1980:
I have 7 screen time with this on note 3, infinite time on motion set.
[Android Apps and Games] seukumeama:
possible improvment

i experience a annoying issue , when a power on screen on the table , by using a powerbutton or touching 2 times on proximity sensor ,and start using any kind app , on the table without moving the phone , the screen is put to sleep , even i touching in the phone ,

i suggest in this situation if the phone was wake in plain surface he must respect my default timeout screen time , so gravity screen shouldn't not act ,

tks for you amazing app
[Android Apps and Games] crirus:
Hello

I seem to have this issue with unlocked version: if I have the phone for 30+ minutes face down, charging (not sure if this is charge related, though) the screen wont open when I pick up the phone.

Then I use power button and notification shortcut to pause app also seems to be frozen, so I have to touch the app icon, as if I launch it for the first time then the notification area works to pause, also the screen works on/off. IF again, not touch the phone for over 30 or so, back to unresponsive.

Any clues?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] latino147:
I have the same problem and it really is the only real annoying 'feature' as I operate my phone often lying down on my desk.

Your solution sounds great.
[Android Apps and Games] noellenchris:
Hi, I feel the same as most replies in this thread. This is a must have app for any phone I use. The only thing I would love to have added is a whitelist or blacklist. This way I can disable Gravity Screen when certain apps open etc. Not sure if it's possible, but would really make this perfect for me. Thanks again.

Chris

[Android Apps and Games] Köhvwezd:
Love it

I do love the app, it works perfectly on my Nexus 5, but the extra battery usage is a deal breaker for me. I know you can't do anything about it, but still. It's sad. I'll use it for a few days and see how the battery is, and see if it's possible to get those lost percents back with some tweaking in other bits of the phone :P

Hi,

Nice app. Just bought the pro version (15min limit...)

Can you add the following:

- inversion of top / bottom recognition? I use my tablet always upside down

- table sensor switch off function

- pocket sensor switch off function

Thanks, regards, vicenza
[Android Apps and Games] tapa_t:
Hi Dev,

Thanks for the great app!!

I recently started using it to replace Samsung Galaxy's Smart Stay to keep screen on, as Smart Stay won't work in a dark ambient.

It works really well for that purpose, and I hope it won't use too much more battery than Smart stay did.

I have a few battery-conscious questions.

I don't use, therefore un-ticked, Lying Face Up, Turn Screen Off by Proximity, Turn Screen On by Motion.

All I want is for the screen to stay on while handling the phone, to turn itself off (i.e., not by this app) after my 15 sec timeout when I put it away, and to turn back on only by touching proximity sensor. I use Pocket Sensor and Table Sensor because they are darn useful (and because I don't know how to turn it off), but I can do without them.

With my settings above, is it correct that proximity sensor is turned off while screen is on, and gravity (& motion?) sensor is turned off when screen is off? If they don't, are there some combination of settings that turns off unnecessary sensors?

Otherwise I can pause the app when screen turns off. Will it stop all sensors completely?

I read in this thread you can turn off Pocket & Table Sensors by setting the angle to 0. Is that true? Does this mean, the app will stop using gravity&motion sensors, or just stop turning off the screen but still monitoring the orientation?
[Android Apps and Games] Sir_gpm:
Any setup for battery saving?
[Android Apps and Games] fenchai:
lol, dude, to begin with, this is NOT a battery saving app, it uses your phone's sensors to turn screen off or keep it on basically. So it will consume battery, not saving it..

If what you want is keep the feature but make it use the least amount of battery life, set it to only work when u have screen on, not when your phone sleeps. it helps. try it to understand.
[Android Apps and Games] latino147:
It seems to me that THAT was exactly what he was asking ;)
[Android Apps and Games] luisblop:
Hi,

So if you mean using the app (therefore the sensors) only when the screen is on. Should I understand to only enable the options that turn the screen off?

By the way I supposed as well that if only the gravity sensor is used (nor proximity neither movement sensors) then that will be the minimal energy consumption setup, right?

Just trying to get a more explicit answer.

Thx in advance
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
Yes, that's right.
[Android Apps and Games] santhire:
Hi

I am using this app it's awesome I like it lot but problem is when I keep it on table it locks my phone and as soon as I take phone it turns screen on but if I keep phone on table for long time like an hour when I take phone it won't make my screen on

Why it's like that???

Need solution :mad:
[Android Apps and Games] latino147:
That's actually one of the settings. There is a 10 minute default time out, after those 10 minutes the screen won't go on anymore. This is implemented to save battery. You can change this value in the settings though.

[Android Apps and Games] rrd84:
A suggestion maybe

App is working fine, I am using FREE edition right now. :D :good:

I want this app to run in landscape mode too,

& I don't want to use "Alternate Turn Off Method" of my device same time,

But when the app is running with above conditions, on my device,

The screen turn OFF & ON if somehow Proximity sensor is covered,

So to avoid this problem, please add "Exclude apps" or similar ability to prevent Gravity Screen turning OFF & ON the screen.

or something like this already existed in paid version? :confused: HELP

[Android Apps and Games] Deegan87:
I'm having an issue with this app on my Nexus 5 running Lollipop. I use a PIN on my phone, but I also have a Pebble and the Smart Lock/Trusted device feature enabled. If I manually turn off the screen with the power button, all works as expected, but if Gravity Screen shuts off the screen, the next time I turn it on (or Gravity Screen turns it on,) the PIN is engaged, negating the Smart Lock feature. I don't know if there's a way around it yet, as Tasker is giving me the same issue, but I though I'd report it.
[Android Apps and Games] shenlong85:
Yup, turn screen on motion causes slight lag and battery drain.

If you are using maps, the compass will be inaccurate.
[Android Apps and Games] MaLiXs:
I'm a bit disappointed about this app. The paid landscape mode didn't seem to work at all on my device.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
I'm sorry to hear that. Please send me a feedback from the app to get little bit more information about the case.

I just use the proximity sensor, but some times when I move the phone it turns the display on, but got movement sensor disable. What is happening. I just use proximity because of the low impact in the battery drain
[Android Apps and Games] jt3:
I assume that this will be (or has been) updated for Lollipop. Could you possibly add an option to activate Ambient Display rather than fully waking the device when you wave over the screen or pull the device out of the pocket? I'm not sure what's involved with that, but I know that with the new Nexus 6, a lot of people have been asking about the "wave over" feature of the Moto X, and wishing that they could replicate it on the Nexus 6. Gravity Screen would be perfect for that, if you could pull it off.
[Android Apps and Games] MaLiXs:
I've managed to get rid of the screen off in landscape mode by excluding some apps (any app that I use most of time in landscape)
[Android Apps and Games] Fevves:
Just installed, bought in-app and rolled on. It's wonderful, I love it. I'm monitoring motion wakelocks as I enabled all features at my likings (unbouncing at 240 sec atm as it does generates a great wakelock count if motion is set high).

The only thing, if this might be an issue, is the angle setup for teh table option, the slider is not working for me and is stuck at 10. Will see after reboot of the phone (tomorrow) and report back. My phone is in my sig, case be someone would ask.

Edit

: Nope, the table angle will not change even after reboot.

I am using the free version and activated only screen on by proximity sensor. After using for 2-3 days, I got the feeling that the proximity sensor is not working properly.

During a call, if I take the phone away from the face, the phone doesn't wake up. I have to again keep near the ear and take away. Does this app has any impact on the performance of the proximity sensor?

My screen keep turning on without touch anything just when moving the phone, but I just have enable proximity sensor on. Anything else is turned off. Any advice?
[Android Apps and Games] clambert11:
Make sure the pocket sensor isn't set for any direction. Otherwise any time you trip the sensor with your hand or fingers the screen will cut off.
[Android Apps and Games] Sir_gpm:
There is not kind of setup in the app, just enable or disable.
[Android Apps and Games] clambert11:
I have the paid version but can't believe it would be different in that regard. Under the top most setting for Pocket Sensor, there should be an option to change the angle of the phone as you turn it upside down to put in your pocket. Immediately under that setting should be an option for Any Direction. Try unchecking that if it is checked. I tried using it and it just annoyed me more than anything.

If you really don't have the option then I'm at a loss. Sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] Sir_gpm:
Yes you were right. The option is there, the top one. But I dont use it or enable it. Just the proximity sensor to lock and unlock my screen, but it turn on with any move. Not just with cover and uncover the sensor.

Lollipop Smart Lock (with trusted devices)

How do I just turn the screen on or off without locking the device?

It was working flawlessly on Android 4.4.4 with with the SkipLock app, but now that I replaced SkipLock with the native SmartLock, every time Gravity Screen turns the screen off it also locks it.

Thanks,

---Mirco.
[Android Apps and Games] odjiex:
hi [MENTION=4914137]plexnor[/MENTION] thank for this great app, but how can I set this app if I just want only proxymeter active,? and rest not active
[Android Apps and Games] jt3:
To add to this a bit. When it locks it, it REALLY locks it. When the device is turned off by Gravity Screen, it locks the device such that smart lock will not work, and you'll be prompted for a passcode regardless of whether your trusted device is present. Once this happens, Smart Lock will be disabled until the passcode is entered. No amount of turning the device off and on again with the power button will re-enable it. Turning off the device by the power button, and waking it up via Gravity Screen allows Smart Lock to work, but once the device is shut down, even once, by Gravity Screen, the problem returns.

Using the "Alternate Proximity Method" will prevent this, but it also prevents the device from locking at all, completely bypassing smart lock. This was implemented because you said Android forces you to lock the screen when you turn the device off. Has this changed in Lollipop? Is there a way now to shut it off without forcing a lock? (By the way, on the Nexus 5 at least, the "Alternate Turn Off Method" does nothing, so that's not a good solution.)
[Android Apps and Games] Deegan87:
I noticed this happening in the preview and asked the dev about it. He said there's no way around it. I wrote my own version of Skiplock with Tasker and Secure Setting (before I knew Skiplock was a thing or I wouldn't have bothered)

I assumed there would be some new way to lock the screen with one of Lollipop's new APIs, but apparently not.
[Android Apps and Games] Hanswurst02:
Same Problem here. But I don't know any app at the moment whos getting this right. Greenify and Llama lock the device also, so that Smart Lock isnt possible.

I hope there is a solution to this... Keep up the good work plexnor :)
[Android Apps and Games] brotbuexe:
There is a new "Trust Agents" in L under Android Settings / Security. It shows the "Smart Lock" from Google Play services.

Hope that Gravity Screen can use this in the future to prevent the hardlock when turning the screen off.
[Android Apps and Games] tapa_t:
Well, think it this way...

If you are using Llama, you can set up an event that UNLOCKS the device when screen turns off. You can also add another event that locks the device back with a delay of desired number of minutes after screen turns off.

You don't need any other smart or delay lock app or settings. Works just fine for me.
[Android Apps and Games] troubled_android:
Was using this app a few months ago when the power button stopped working due to being splashed with water. After setting up everything in the app I was using my phone without any problems, maybe sometimes it didn't wake up right away but in general it worked. Better than any other app out there. :)

Now that the button works again :confused: I don't have to use gravity screen anymore but I kinda miss it sometimes, its super easy to use. :D

So thanks for this awesome job!
[Android Apps and Games] Hanswurst02:
But I want to have Smart Lock enabled when the screen turns off. This would disbale the locking of the phone.

The problem is, that at the moment every Screen on/off app disbales the Smart Unlock feature.
