I have a problem with this app, but I'm not sure if it's because of the Android system or by the app itself. When my phone is lying with it's face up on a table, the wake up through the proximity sensor is sometimes not working. Usually this happens a lot when my phone is idle for a few hours. Even when the device is in my hands, swipping or waving in front of the proximity sensor doesn't work. Once it has worked by itself again when I have left it for one hour again, now when my flip cover was closed. In some cases this problem even happens after a few minutes. I'm wondering what's the problem, because I'm really happy with this app, but this is a serious dealbreaker for me. I can't see the status LED when my flip cover is closed, so this is no option. I'm using the Xiaomi Redmi 2.

And a small suggestion, could you please add an option or a slider that I need to wave or swipe two times in front of the proximity sensor to activate the display? It's really useful if I only want to see if the status LED is flashing when I'm opening my flip case. I saw that the app "Smart Screen On Off" is able to do this.

Thanks in advance! :)

Does it happen by using the default settings?
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
Trying to reproduce it but the app stay paused for me, as it should.

Still a mystery ...
[Android Apps and Games] NotFromMountainView:
A few minor tweaks. Rather than trying to remember what I've actually changed here are caps of my Gravity settings. If you want me to try anything please just shout.
[Android Apps and Games] NotFromMountainView:
Two more caps - seems there's a 4 pic limit.

Did you over read my post? I would love to hear what could be the problem.

already download and using
[Android Apps and Games] RandomNewbie:
Dear developer, could you please add an option to wave / touch the proximity sensor at least two times to enable the screen? After comparing many other apps, yours is simply the best, especially in terms of battery usage (at least on my device. Smart Screen On-Off = 4% in 4 hours. Gravity Screen = 1% in 4 hours). So I'm really hoping that you are going to add this in the future. Thanks a lot!

high power consumption on legacy Android

Hello,

I am using the app only for waking up with proximity, and it works great on KitKat, with no significant battery usage. A few days ago I installed it on an old Defy+ with CM72 (Gingerbread), with the same wake-up only configuration, and it seems to consume a lot of battery. Is this difference perhaps due to some constraints of the older OS ? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] specialex:
Could someone please uoload v2.4.2 beta 1

Because latest beta is the worst
[Android Apps and Games] Minni:
Great app. :good:

I use the unlocked version

I want my smartphone for guiding use.

The Smartyphone is attached with a strap on my left arm.

I need an app so that the display only turns on, if I make a special abnormal movement.

Or the smartphone is in an exact position.

Therefore, I need personal gravity coordinates x, y and z. For example, 3, 0, and 9

Then I store these coordinates. And only in this position, the display turns on.

With a little deviation.

Thanking you in anticipation

Something is disabling the sensor on your device. First I would check all kind of battery saving methods your device may use. Moreover make sure the Notification option is ticked in the app.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
There is new beta out there, it should work better than the previous one.
[Android Apps and Games] paulzinho:
Updated yesterday to what I think was a new beta version for the nexus 5. Picking it up from a face down position is no longer working. v 2.4.2.4 2015-11-12; Feedback sent. Is it possible to revert to previous version. Play store method of updating does not seem to have this functionality.

Update: it working now soon after using the power button. Maybe it an issue when in deep sleep?
[Android Apps and Games] (THE REAL) Neo:
I've bought a brand new Nexus 5x,but if I use Gravity Screen to turn off the screen,when face down on the table,I can't wake up the screen only by using my fingerprint,I have to insert the pin number too...

Is there a way to use only the fingerprint reader?

Thanks

I absolutely love this app, but I wonder if GSam's battery drain report on it is accurate?

Isn't 7% a bit high?

I only use the turn on/off by proximity option, since it works awesome for me.

I'm on Nexus 5, Android M, with the november updates installed.
[Android Apps and Games] alejodiazh:
Problema with the app

Buy the application some time ago and it worked perfectly, unlocking the pro options, but now will not let me (I am root), I guess it has to do with Google Play Services, that I can do to unlock the application?
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
[19] Q: I bought the app by IAP but it's still locked. Why?

A: It's a Play Store app issue probably which happening on some devices when not connected to the internet.

Please make sure you are connected and restart the device. Moreover, do you have more than one Google account registered on your device? That can cause the issue too, that you bought the app under a different account. Other method can be to uninstall the Play Store updates and try with an older version of the Play Store app. It often helps.
[Android Apps and Games] physix:
Any feedback.

Turning on ANY DIRECTION disables the IR BLASTER on my GALAXY S6.

Wondered why my PEEL REMOTE app stopped working. Turned off Any Direction and it started working again.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
It's a hardware issue probably.
[Android Apps and Games] ishuya:
Using it on 3 devices... On two it works excellent but on one it has some problem with proximity sensor. Within 5min of turning off device, phone wakes but after that time, it doesn't wake with proximity. Sometimes this problem arises in just 1min.

Running on CM12.1. Log's attached.
[Android Apps and Games] bebekula:
Hi, I just learned about gravity sensor 3 days ago, and i really love this app.

I only activate proximity sensor to wake up my screen.

after 2 days i started to notice weird thing, proximity sensor didn't wake up my screen, and power button also can not wake it. I have to take off my battery to restart my phone.

I am using redmi note 2 prime.

Could you provide some help with this?

My apology if this already covered before.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] Zarxrax:
I am also noticing this same problem, for the past few days when I tried to wake my phone up in the morning, it would not turn on at all. I would have to reboot it by holding the power button for a really long time. Today I noticed that I wasn't on the latest beta version, so I have tried updating, I'll see if that helps. I'm using a nexus 4.
[Android Apps and Games] bebekula:
Thanks Zarxrax, please update if beta solve the problem.

on some occasions plugging my phone to charger will also wake up my phone from comatose, but not every time.
[Android Apps and Games] RandomNewbie:
Plexnor, I really hope that you can please add an option for double swiping or double (un)covering the Proximity sensor to (un)lock the device. Maybe you wanna take a look for my physical workaround because of this missing option? I'm feeling clever and stupid at the same time for doing this.

:eek:
[Android Apps and Games] Zarxrax:
I did not encounter the problem anymore today. I don't know for sure that its fixed, but I had it for 3 days in a row, then after this update, I didn't see it.
[Android Apps and Games] Vipul.K:
Is it okay to run proximity sensor all the time?

Honestly, I thought this app would become annoying because it'll make locking and unlocking even harder but I was wrong. It works without any flaws, never misfires and made life much easier. Needless to say, I'm gonna keep it.

But I was wondering, now this app is permanently kept in my memory, the proximity sensor will stay on for the res of eternity (not really :p ), so is that okay for the hardware. i suppose they were not manufactured to stay on all the time. Does it affect the lifespan of the hardware?
[Android Apps and Games] EdrickMG:
The new feature of smart lock!! Amazing it was broke, now it's working the only suggestion it's to put screen off without lock screen (time out screen)
[Android Apps and Games] RandomNewbie:
That's a good question, but I doubt that anyone could give us here some reliable data if it affects hardware lifetime. You need to note that it prevents the processor to go into deep sleep mode as well. You can control it with the app called "CPU Spy".
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
I like your workaround :)

Please contact me from the app to explain your issue in details.
[Android Apps and Games] Zarxrax:
Per wikipedia: "Proximity sensors can have a high reliability and long functional life because of the absence of mechanical parts and lack of physical contact between sensor and the sensed object."

I'm pretty sure it will outlast the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] mtwalther:
Apologies if this has already been answered -

I see that support for Android M has been added in the latest updates. Can you please give a bit of insight into how this interacts with Doze.

I currently have my Doze configuration set to turn on immediately after the display turns off. Can I expect the Proximity, Gravity, and Motion sensors to all work as expected when the device is 'dozing'.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
According to Google: "Apps that have been running foreground services (with the associated notification) are not restricted by doze." So GS is not affected by Doze.
[Android Apps and Games] snowzquinx:
Love this app. Works well so far
[Android Apps and Games] Almirc97:
It can damage the proximity sensor?

This App is very useful for me, and I want to purchase the pro version. However, I'm worried about my proximity sensor, when the app is activated, the proximity sensor keeps always on. A small red light appears in the dark. It can damage the sensor?

I use redmi 2 MIUI 6, turn on by proximity is not working so I can only turn off by proximity but when I put out from my pocket or swipe the proximity sensor it won't turn on. Booster is on. What is wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
If you are using Smart lock support you have to wait maybe 10+ seconds for the complete turning off. Due to it's only a workaround, there is no better solution so far if your device is not rooted.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
Probably the proximity sensor driver is buggy.
[Android Apps and Games] johnnyman25:
i have the unlocked version on my redmi note 2!which settings i must use to just wake device with proximity sensor?
[Android Apps and Games] Badger51:
My Nexus 5 is acting strange now and then. I have Gravity Screen running with default settings.

Often when my phone is 60 degrees plus and in use, the screen will frequently go to sleep.. This happens with a short time between use and often in the middle of entering text.

Any suggestions on what might be causing this?

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] garyHal:
How can I speed up the locking process?

Seems recently that whenever I pull my phone out of my pocket that some random app is already running, as if I had fat fingered or swiped some button when pocketing my phone prior. My theory is that if I rotate the phone to pocket it, there is a slight delay before it actually locks. In those few seconds, my finger may have triggered some app before the phone manages to lock.

[MENTION=4914137]plexnor[/MENTION]

Do you think that it's possible to use Moto X Style front infrared sensors instead of the proximity sensor like it's used with Moto display? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
Could you share more details about that sensor?
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
We do not know your actual settings.
[Android Apps and Games] kadopt:
The device has three additional sensors on the front panel, one on top and two on the bottom, they seem to be used like the proximity sensor but to wake the screen when in stand by if Moto display is enabled.

With Moto display the one on top trigger the wake and both the bottom ones trigger if activated simultaneously.

The sensors light up red with the screen of and with cpu-z in the sensor page.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
Thanks for the pics and sharing this info. These sensors a kind of new for me. I'll see if we can make use of these in the app.

If I'm not mistaken these IR sensors detecting only warm objects, do not they?
[Android Apps and Games] kadopt:
I've been testing... The one in the top reacts to anything... The ones in the bottom are more picky as they both need to be activated. Motorola have been using this wake method since the first Moto X. If you need some kind of dump I can provide as I'm rooted.

[edit]I can test beta versions as well[/edit]

You have to recall your password, I cannot really help in this case unfortunately.
[Android Apps and Games] gbertoli:
My Samsung Verizon Note 3 running Kitkat has started having issues with Gravity....when the phone wakes up it has no PIN lockscreen, but rather just the main screen without icons in the notification bar and the touchscreen is inoperative. It takes a reboot to unfreeze it. If it goes to sleep in my pocket or on its face this happens again. I have tried uninstalling Gravity and reinstalling but it looks like whatever detects those two conditions has remained and still locking up the phone. Ideas??
[Android Apps and Games] mkelton19:
I also have a Nexus 5, and just based on my own experience with this app, the behavior you describe may be due merely to the position and sensitivity of the Nexus 5's proximity sensor. When I first started using Gravity Screen, I disabled the gravity sensor to save battery, but found that the N5's proximity sensor was far too sensitive to be used as the sole trigger for turning the screen off.

To expand upon your own example, if the mild shadow of my finger passed for even a fraction of a moment across the sender's field of view (such as during typing a message or pulling down the notification shade), it very frequently resulted in the screen being turned off (and immediately back on again, just a fraction of a moment later).

I have since turned the gravity sensor back on, and it works quite reliably and predictably with the proximity sensor as its side kick. And to satisfy my battery saving desires, I have disabled motion on/off altogether. To be frank, I'm very happy with the way it's been behaving since then.

EDIT: I meant to mention that the proximity sensor is in the top right corner on a Nexus 5, although as I am typing this edit, I am realizing that anyone with a Nexus 5 almost certainly figured that out for themselves already.
[Android Apps and Games] robsonr:
Firstly I wanted to thank you the author for this fantastic application. I have Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925W8 with Rogers. When I was using original firmware, the application worked like a charm. Then I switched to CRISSCROSS ROM V12.0 with Vindicator kernel Uni-R5. Since then the application doesn't work. It runs but I have set it up when I hold it in hand to keep the screen on, and it stopped working, although it was working fine before. I am wondering whether there is anything I could investigate in order to get it working again.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions and comments.

Hi, sorry for my english, I'am on a nexus 4, pure nexus, marshmellow build.

I've some issue with the battery. I use turn screen on by proximity, turn off by proximity and landscape mode. The other option like turn screen on by motion not, because the battery drain was too high with the others option, but now the battery usage window marks 10% of the total battery.

Here the image

The problem is in the app or it's my battery? I'd like to know if someone have the same issue.

Love app and your work I just address bug... I don't know if I need to send logs or something but... I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 not root and whenever i wake up with app in lockscreen doesn't turn off again after 1 minute that is where I put setting to turn off, thanks for your effort!!
[Android Apps and Games] EdrickMG:
Nevermind I change delayed lock and seems working fine thanks

Love the app, both my wife and I use it... but I do have a request.

When I am driving I want to be able to turn the screen off by covering the proximity sensor. The issue is, I can turn it off, but it immediately comes back on. because I have no lock screen while driving it stays on permanently.

Is there a way to put a timeout/cool down so it does not toggle like that? One would want it to come back on if you have it turned over for a bit or in your pocket, but the app would be perfect if there was a sort of anti-oscillation feature (e.g. when screen turned off by proximity, wait x seconds before checking the proximity state and reset)

Maybe this feature is there, and I have not figured it out?
[Android Apps and Games] MacDoof:
Hi sorry for Bad english.

You could try tasker,thats the way i do.

Gravity Screen has a taskerplugin .
[Android Apps and Games] RLBL:
I never thought of that. I could pause gravity screen when my driving profiles are active, and use my own tasker profiles to turn the screen on and off (is this what you meant?)
[Android Apps and Games] MacDoof:
I think so, if i understand you corectly.
[Android Apps and Games] latino147:
yes, I do the same (with AutomateIt instead of Tasker), when I connect to my cars BT G.S. is being disabled and vice versa

Power Button Support - Lock Screen

Hi - quick suggestion for a future release.

I use the 'Power Button Support' feature under More Settings. I would love to see a sub-option that immediately enables the lock screen when the power button is pressed. That way the phone/devices can be locked with a single hardware button press while still enjoying the normal operation of Gravity Screen when security/privacy is not a concern.

Note: using the standard Android setting 'Power button instantly locks' does not provide a comparable solution is this also locks the device whenever Gravity Screen turns off the display necessitating pin entry when picking the phone back up before delayed secure lock kicks in (I also use 'Turn Screen ON by Proximity).
[Android Apps and Games] thusband:
Love the app. I notice, though, if I hold the phone with both hands in landscape mode the screen goes off. Not good when I'm using the camera. Maybe a setting?

I have a Nexus 5, 6.0.1, un-rooted.
[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
Are you covering the proximity sensor with a finger? There's also a clearly marked setting to suspend turn off methods when in landscape mode. Did you look?
[Android Apps and Games] thusband:
Thanks, yes, I'm obviously covering the sensor with my finger(s) but I can't see where the sensor is to avoid it and I really don't want to. I ticked the landscape mode but it made no difference.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
Thanks for your suggestion. Could you send me a feedback from the app to see your actual settings, please?
[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
Well, if you're not will to put in any effort to help remedy the situation it's probably best to uninstall and move on.

[Android Apps and Games] tapa_t:
Hey, guys.

Does anyone know if there is a way to suspend/stop Gravity Screen service when the screen times out on its own and not by this app?

What I want with this app is to turn off the screen when I put it in my pocket and turn the screen back on ONLY when I pull it out of the pocket.

Any other time (like the phone just sits on my desk with screen off), I don't want something moving over the proximity sensor waking up the phone.

I suppose I can unckeck "turn screen on by proximity", but then gravity sensor will be on all the time to turn the screen on, which uses more battery, if I understand correctly. I don't want that.

It would be ideal if Gravity Screen stops working whenever the screen turns off, EXCEPT when Gravity Screen itself turns the screen off.

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
So, sometimes it turns the screen off. It means the proximity sensor is activated. Could you do for me the following. Hold the phone face downward within the 10 degree, check if the proximity lights up, cover the proximity by your finger (Does the screen turns off?) and uncover it (Does the screen turn on?).

Is the proximity on after the screen turned on?

If you can please send me a screenshots of your settings or just write me what are the values of your settings to make sure everything.

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
The app is running in one service, if you turned it to cached process it would be killed by android quite easily, I guess.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
Have not thought about yet. Maybe later, yes.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
I cannot see too much point to do that, but I can be convinced of course :)

Until I'm convinced, you can make the extension in Tasker.
