After the 1 minute screen on you need to block the proximity again but longer to get the 5 minute screen on

Gravity prevents my phone from entering deep sleep

My phone is having trouble entering deep sleep while using Gravity. The display's system is set to sleep after 1 minute. I use the stock Android 4.2.2 launcher with no other program running behind the curtain (no live wallpaper, streaming or networking). I compared the usage with and without Gravity by using CPU Spy, All other programs and running parameters are the same so the environment is totally identical for these testing. Gravity is set at stock settings too.

CPU Spy reports that with Gravity on, my phone still uses the CPU even with the screen turned off (phone face off and display does indeed turn off). CPU usage while the display has been off is reported to be at 384 MHz vs 1200 MHz max. It's minimal but still not the deep sleep state I was looking for. Without Gravity, CPU Spy indicates that the phone does enter deep sleep whenever the screen is turned off.

Unless I'm mistaken in my understanding of how the program works, it is not normal that the Gravity prevents the system from entering the deep sleep state. Is there a way to remedy to this issue? I emphasize that I didn't change any programs or system parameters with or without Gravity. I compared oranges with oranges. I tried tinkering with or without motion or proximity sensors on but none of the combination or lack thereof changed the issue.

I have an Alcatel Idol S 6034 with stock Android 4.2.2. I also set Gravity with administrator rights for both screen lock and password lock (no difference actually with either on or off or both on or off).

I really hope that this issue could be solved for my phone because I truly love what the program does but it's eating my battery. I also hope that I won't need to wipe and reset the system for Gravity to work as it should. Thanks for the help.

FAQ 4 ?

[Android Apps and Games] hanschke:
how to remove the black notification? I have done the mistake and delete or uninstall your app with titanium backup and got a black notification left. Any solution to remove it?

If I install your app again I got a new notification that will be deleted with the uninstaller from your app but the old one dont leave the system :(
[Android Apps and Games] onecrzyasian:
the app does seem to be draining a lot more battery than mentioned in OP about 7%. I believe it is preventing deep sleep even though i have disabled motion sensor completely and only rely on the proximity sensor. is there any way to remedy this?

edit:

i believe there is a problem with the app settings. even after i turn off all the settings related to motion, the small icon at the top of the app that shows the orientation of the phone with vector arrows still works and shows changes in the orientation of my phone as i move it. because of this, i believe it is draining more battery than it should be even with motion not used. is there a way to fix this?

Hello

Very great App but before I purchase it, i found a bug.

When i use the delayed unlock, it's work fine if you close and open the cover, but if you forget to close the cover, the phone enter in sleep mod, ok, and when you awake it, the unlock system is disable and password erased... WTF ;) ?

Can you resolve it, it's the only option i search and it's dont work very well, erf...

i'm on Wiko Highway, android Jelly bean full stock.

Cya and good work !!

Hi, anyone knows if Plexnor is still supporting the app?:confused:

[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
Not to worry, we had quite periods in the past.
[Android Apps and Games] Moscow Desire:
Just some info for future update.

Allow proximity sensor adjustment (if possible). Sometimes when placing device in a sleeve (sleeve protector), the display doesn't turn off. Or it turns off and on repeatedly (I hear the tone). This is most likely due to some amount of light striking the sensor. I notice this several times when walking around the park with a baby carriage (pram, stroller, buggy).

Would be nice if there was a proximity sensor adjustment so it wouldn't be so sensitive.

Other than that, it works great 80% of the time!
[Android Apps and Games] bmorelli25:
I've purchased too! Love this app, makes waking up in the morning so much better with the instant on feature :)

[Android Apps and Games] latino147:
There is absolutely NOTHING that makes up waking in the morning any better :P
[Android Apps and Games] keen36:
wow, this app looks great! :good: :D

testing at the moment

edit:

wonderful app!

i have one problem though: on my arc s, with the default setting, the phone screen keeps turning on and off constantly when i use the proximity sensor on table function. when i check the battery stats, i see that the phone goes to sleep and wakes constantly in addition to the display waking up and sleeping. my theory is that the sensor gets turned off in deep sleep (can't be helped, sony's fault i assume), gives back some bad info, the app wakes the device, the sensor works again, sees the proximity, the app sends the device to sleep and the circle starts anew. i could imagine that this may be bad for the hardware if an arc user doesn't realise this behaviour (it only happens with the screen facing down, mind you!) and lets the screen wake and sleep every few seconds for a longer time inadvertently. the problem is easily remedied by using the option "alternative proximity method", sadly the phone then doesn't sleep anymore, but that is a minor problem and not the app's fault.

if there is no fix possible for this issue, maybe it is a good idea to change the default behaviour of the app for arc and arc s users?

all in all, this is an excellent app!

another edit:

in my testing i have now found out that i can enable "turn screen on by motion" and then "false turn-on protection in pocket", and the phone will not do the above, even if i deactivate the alternative proximity method! the cpu will go to deep sleep just fine, great success! it just takes a few seconds to wake up from this sometimes. i also cannot use the "any direction" function, because the phone still wakes up when i do not have it facing down on the table or upside down in my pocket. this just takes a little getting used to, putting the phone in the pocket the other way around.

i have also found out in my testing why this is happening: sony xperia arc s phones apparently turn off the proximity sensor in deep sleep when they are not connected to a/c power. if connected, it works fine. but as i wrote, this is no problem when the "false turn-on protection" is activated! i suspect it must use the gravity sensor periodically when the proximity sensor fails because of deep sleep, but that doesn't matter to me when the cpu stay in deep sleep all along!

the way this works now is absolutely wonderful. i had been using custom commands with openmic to wake up the phone and send it to sleep, but i felt like an idiot when i was outside talking to my phone c: also it just takes too long to be practical. i am by now used to gravity screen, i will not use another phone without this app! this is even better than the amoled-swipe tools i have been so envious of before :D

[Android Apps and Games] lphovercraft:
Love this app - I haven't scoured this thread to see if anyone else has picked this up, but I would *love* to have a setting that puts Gravity Screen in a 'quiet mode' (or perhaps on pause) for a certain time interval after the phone power button is pressed. This is to allow me a few seconds to put the device away after I've hit the button and avoid pocket-dialing someone when the screen re-awakens before the proximity sensor takes over.

Did I mention I love this app? I really do. It borders on unhealthy.

(I noticed that on my TrueSmart - which right now only does 2G - another issue for another thread - the app shows as unlocked after a long interval but has never failed. On my HTC One M8 - where I purchased the app [a few days ago] it's never even been a lag)
[Android Apps and Games] cd69:
Hey guys. I tried searching for a fix but could not find it, so a question. I use gravity box and have a status bar tile for screen time. I use gravity screen only for switching on the phone. Nothing else, however everytime I wake up the phone using proximity my screen off time resets to 1s. And the screen goes off sooner than my 30 seconds limit. I tried everything possible. I have selected the option in this app where it says select this for not locking the screen under delayed lock option but no luck. Any help anybody.

Thanks a lot.

Great app!

This is a great app and really goes well with AcDisplay since it's been turning my screen on like crazy but with Gravity Screen it's more controlled. It works perfectly fine on my Nexus 5 as of now (Only had it installed for a few hours so it might still be too early to say) but I have a problem on my Nexus 7 2013. I installed it on my Nexus 7 but it doesn't detect any proximity sensor. I've tried reinstalling the app and even rebooting then installing the app but it just won't detect my proximity sensor.

I'm using a PA ROM with ElementalX kernel for my Nexus 5 and a PA ROM with Franco kernel on my Nexus 7. Since they're both on PA, I'm guessing the ROM isn't the problem. I'll try changing the kernel of my Nexus 7 but as of now, does anyone know a possible fix for this?
[Android Apps and Games] dchaly:
improvement wish

hello, thankyou for your program

i think it'll be good to add such feature: let user choose the timeout for switching on phone by motion sensor when it lays on the table. it's very unconvinient when you grab your phone from the table to put it in the pocket and screen is turning on

thankyou!
[Android Apps and Games] latino147:
Another improvent tip: When placing the phone flat on the table (I do that often while I keep reading) the phone turns off and you have to wake it up by moving you hand above the sensor. This is quite obtrusive, especially if you want to make it 5 minutes.

Isn't it possible to tap shortly on the sensor? Once for 1 minute, 2 for 5, 3 for 10 etc?

Love the app but just had issues with the latest updates.

I'm not sure which update it was since I haven't updated it in a while, but the latest version at least is causing me some pretty serious battery drain.

I've managed to lose 20% of my battery life in a sudden 5-minute period. This has happened to me twice now - yesterday with Gravity Screen On/Off Pro. I uninstalled that and installed the non-Pro edition and I lost 20% of battery today at about 6pm (see attached screenshots)

Anyway I've emailed the dev he'll be looking into it.

[MENTION=4914137]plexnor[/MENTION],

Bought your app long time ago because I need Exclude app features ;). But can I request a feature for exclude app? Now I think if an app is excluded then all GS functionalities are disabled, is this correct? Well, I don't want to turn off my screen when I put my phone into landscape orientation in Gallery, so I put Gallery as excluded app. But I want the "keep screen on by motion" still working in this case (you know sometimes I want to stare some pictures for a long time without touching the screen to keep it on :p). So can you make an option for "keep screen on by motion" always enabled even it's excluded in excluded apps? Hope my explanation is not confusing.

Thanks! :)

Hello.

Works perfect, just a problem with the screen protector.

Sorry, and thank you again for this gorgeus app.

I have a nexus 4 with last kitkat 4.4.3 update since yesterday night.

I've been using gravity screen for months (and it's great), but since yesterday app don't work.

I think it's because of 4.4.3, but can't be sure.

Do you know if there is any problem with the new version.

Thank you (and sorry about my bad english)

THNAKS

for the latest update...

just thought that if we can make our phone straight to deep sleep if we are not using the phone more frequently.

and wake up by pressing volume rockers or power key when its in deep sleep.

p.s its just and idea...
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
Actually the phone goes to deep sleep if it's in pocket or on table face down. Because the Proximity sensor is an interruption based sensor. Thus the CPU is not required to keep running and monitor the state of the sensor. The CPU is kept awake only if the screen is turned off by not the proximity sensor and the Turn Screen On by Motion is checked and the its timeout is not ended :)
[Android Apps and Games] PhantasmRezound:
First I'll note my previous post was v1.34 and still on that just for the moment. And have to take back part of my statement: While the lockscreen pops up for the app running with default settings, Disable Screen Lock option *does* work. Must've been mistaken which options were active when while testing.

I will note HTC Sense has both the "swipe ring" lockscreen separate from the PIN/Pattern/Face security lockscreens. I can disable the security lockscreens normally, but that pesky ring swipe one is the culprit requiring Disable Screen Lock option. The app you suggested there also makes note of things on HTC Sense being different, and it only helps with the security style screens in practice: The second lockscreens can be delayed further, but Sense ring stays with use of that app. Some Play Store reviews for that developer reflect that.

I meant that I'd like the phone to shut off when I set it on the table regardless of it being face-up or face-down to conserve battery... but specifically flipping it from face-down to face-up on the table in a short time frame also delays the face-up mode's shut-off trigger by 60 seconds. :)
[Android Apps and Games] chrislam1220:

[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
I hope somehow you will manage to get rid of the extra screen lock - looks very persistent.

New Release 1.36

Gravity Screen Off 1.36

Change log:

----- v1.36.MARKET ------

Fixes:

- If you have the version 1.35, this fix will give again a delay to the "swipe proximity sensor to turn off" function in the Lying Face Up on table feature.

- Some improvements in the previous two versions (1.33 and 1.34) caused some bugs. Sorry about it.

- - - - The app can be paused from notification bar again

- - - - The screen turn off is delayed again in Headset support

New Feature:

- The screen can turn off automatically in any direction in pocket. Useful if you are keeping your phone on its edge in your pocket instead of pointing downward.

In the past some days I released some buggy versions - I did not have too much time for testing :) - I hope this one will be more stable and won't come up serious new bugs which requires a fast new release which generates again new bugs ... :)

Anyway please tell me if you are experiencing any issue with this version.

[Android Apps and Games] remidesroques:
Normally if you are holding your phone the sensor is not activating anything but if you are holding it flat, then it's like it is on a table and the app might believe it is and activate the sensor. If you want to disable it then pause it in the notification by tapping on it. Or unchecked the table option in the settings. Your sensitivity to keep screen on might be a little too low I have mine set over 50.

Working for me (others?) . Try setting it at 45 or a bit less, it's plenty. 2 percent is maybe too much. It doesn't always work though but if your screen timeout is set at 15sec it should be fine anyway.

[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
As I see from the screenshot you set 5 degree for the turning off if it's facing down. This can be too low. Please try with 10 degree and it should be fine.

In the last release has not been touched this feature and it should work as before.

Moreover try on two different surfaces to make sure the result. And if you can please check by eyes if the proximity sensor active or not when it facing down within the 10 degree you set.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
Update to the 1.36 version. That applies a 1.5 sec delay in the screen off and not as easy to turn off the screen by accident. If it's still not convenient maybe I'll take out this "cover for screen off" feature.
[Android Apps and Games] kjaved373:
The problem actually started after updating. I sometimes hold my phone from the top corner and my hand covers the sensor so it keeps turning off. It seemed fine in previous versions though haha.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
I thought it happens when the phone is on a table face up. Does it happen when it's in hand? Was the phone prior the event on a table face up?

Probably turning off when "Lying Face Up" will solve the issue.

[Android Apps and Games] kjaved373:
The Lying Face Up feature was already turned off, tried again while turned on. Problem still persists.

When lying face up though, covering the sensor and uncovering will keep it off.

When in hand, covering and uncovering turns it off and on right away.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
In the latest 1.36 version the screen will turn off after two second when you place it on the table, but after you can wake the screen up by swipe over the proximity sensor and the screen will remain on during the whole length of the movie. But if the Lying Face up on a table is unticked you won't have the screen off after two sec.

In the next version probably you will be able to cancel the screen off event by a swipe if you do it before the two second.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
I was able to repeat the issue. If you untick the Lying face up option while the phone is lying on a table that mess up the settings little bit. So if you want to untick it better to do it while the phone is in hand :) Thanks catching this bug.

I am using a Nexus 4 rooted with stock 4.4 and installed Gravity Screen. It works perfectly except when I leave it on a table with the screen facing up, it won't turn off using the screen off timeout set for 15 seconds. After 15 seconds it still won’t turn off, the device is completely still, just wondering how to fix that?

Some info that might be pertinent to this issue:

Pocket Sensor: Any direction

Table sensor: 35, and “Lying Face up” is disabled

Turn Screen ON/OFF by proximity: Disabled

Turn screen on by motion: Enabled

No lock screen, no password screen.

VERSIONS: FREE vs. PRO vs. UNLOCKED by IN-APP PURCHASE (recommended)

In the Pro version, there is no 15 minutes limit for turning the screen on by motion and the Table sensor can be set more precisely. Unlocked version has everything what Pro has, plus it has an Exclude App list, a more advanced Delayed lock option and Widgets.
