Hmm, I tried "Delayed Lock" as mentioned in the FAQ, but i just get the exact same result: If the option disable screen lock is not ticked, the device locks immediately irrespectable of what i set in Delayed Lock. When the option "disable screen lock" is set, there is no screen lock at all, even after the timeout.

Delayed Lock otherwise works nicely without Gravity Screen Off.

IS teher any other workaround or can this be fixed?

---------- Post added at 08:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 AM ----------

Just to add: If the display turns off automatically because of the normal display timeout, the delayed lock works nicely (even the inbuild delayed lock from HTC). This means probably, if the system turns the device off.

Only if Gravity Screen Off turns the device off, e.g. when laid onto the table, the delayed lock does not work. So there seems to be a different "turning off" mechanism be used by the system and by delayed lock.

i read changelog update today about llama plugin.... where could be found?
[Android Apps and Games] Girn:
For some reason this app still "half runs" when it's on pause
[Android Apps and Games] remidesroques:
If it is the same as tasker, you should be able to find it under the plugin section in Llama.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
Llama -> Actions -> Locale plug-in and there you are, you can select the Gravity app.
[Android Apps and Games] aleja_vigo:
First of all thanks for the great work. I'm using the app in my GS4 for some days now and works really well with not much battery consumption.

Just a little problem/request : I like the "Lying face up" feature to turn off the phone on table but it's too easy that it turns back on (even at the same moment of putting it on the table) because of the sensor. Could that be turned off while still using the "Lying face up"? My goal actually would be that the app turns my screen off in all situations (pocket, table,...) but not back on, I prefer to turn it on by myself.

Another possibility that could be way cooler is to be able to turn it on/off while lying face up with the sensor. Swipe left/right in front of the sensor to turn on/off. That could be awesome and something to show around. I think it can be done for sure in GS4 because samsung interface can do it (Air gestures), but don't know if it could work for older phones

Thanks for your work and time,

Cheers from Spain

App works good, but is it normal when i use phone that soft touch led are always on?

This can drain battery
[Android Apps and Games] remidesroques:
What do you mean by "soft touch LED"? Are you talking about the proximity sensor? If that's the case, then yes it is on when your screen it's off to detect your hand swipe or out of pocket to turn it back on.
[Android Apps and Games] denzel09:
I have 3 button on lg p760, one non touch button in centre, two touch button led to the sides for 'back' and 'setting'. These two last button are always illuminated.

So this can be drain battery?

Edit: understand, it's Sensitivity
[Android Apps and Games] remidesroques:
Now, that's a problem but I never heard of it in this thread. And yes along the way it can drain your battery. Anyone else having this problem? You might also want to look at your settings, I know in my ROM there is a setting to tell whether or not these key should be always on or not. have a look.
[Android Apps and Games] Girn:
Why does the app still run when it's on pause???
[Android Apps and Games] Gunde:
Has anyone else experiened "Turn ON by motion" suddenly not working anymore?
[Android Apps and Games] remidesroques:
Yeah, I have experienced it but it's not forever. Sometime when I grab my phone the screen does not come back on. I don't know what makes it unstable. Maybe android is killing some services. I also found out that restarting the app completely, killing it and restarting it usually helps to bring everything back to normal.

---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

Well I believe that the app still needs to stay on in the background to wait for you to push back that pause button, otherwise you wouldn't be able to. But I'm pretty sure that all sensors are not being used and the wakelock is not on.
[Android Apps and Games] remidesroques:
I wanted to share with you how I start and stop the application using gestures. After we had the Tasker plug-in I combined it with an app called LMT. you can find it on XDA and I programmed the two finger slide up to turn on and off the application. This way, when I'm in the car I can quickly turn it off and the screen will not stay on. But I mainly use it for the table situation. I use that same gesture to turn it off quickly when my phone is on the table so I'm sure the screen will not turn off.

I simply made a toggle task that also is controlling the screen timeouts. So when gravity is turned off the timeout is also set to 15 minutes just in case I forgot to turn it back on. The last line that is not showing on the picture is a simple "End if"

It will be of a great help if i can set delay in seconds. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] itsachirpthing:
Awesome app. Running great on HTC One!
[Android Apps and Games] itsachirpthing:
Finally got this to work. Had to clear the variable at the end of the else statement. Also renamed the task to "Gravity" rather than "Gravity Toggle". LMT doesn't like spaces in the task names. Hope this helps someone else. Great work.
[Android Apps and Games] remidesroques:
Stupid question maybe but are you putting the phone upside down when you put it in your pocket?
[Android Apps and Games] nagendraps:
No, I keep it at 90 degrees in a Pocket (pouch), if I move the pouch I could see screen is blinking for many seconds before turning off. I am not sure on whether it may be due to my phone (S2) or ROM, my post is just a request, I don’t mind if it is not included. This is a great app very useful to me
[Android Apps and Games] remidesroques:
Then, that's why you are having problems. When the phone is facing up with the sensor on top, it doesn't work really well. You should set the sensor at 60° and put your phone in the pouch upside down this way the sensor will work better. You should watch the demo video.

GPS locking...?!?

Hi, this is a great app ! But i notice each time the screen switch on i have a GPS locking...(i can confirm it is coming after installing this app). Pretty weird because GPS is not in the authorization list, and why should it be though.

Am i the only one facing that problem ?

Thanks in advance

[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
This is really weird. As you told the app even does not have permission to do that. Probably it's a coincidence, I would guess.
[Android Apps and Games] yomek88:
Great app, but after last update screen is turning on after few seconds on my LG P970 with stock ICS 4.0.4. It was ok before. I tried altenative turn off option but it changes nothing. Screen goes off and after short period of time is turning on... and it goes cyclicaly.

i'm going back to 1.53 ;]

edit: i made clean install for tests and turned off almost every option but table sensor and pocket sensor, even disabled proximity turn off/on and lockscreen, and while it's laying on table it's turning on and off itself from time to time... don't know what is cusing it :<

as i said before, there is no such problem in 1.53, so once more going back ;)
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
Thanks for the report. I cannot repeat this, please help me to fix it.

Does it happen if you turn your phone off by the power button?

Does it happen if you do not disable lock screen from my app or from android settings?

You can reply me in an email as well, it's maybe the easiest way to resolve this issue. Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] Attanasio89:
to me the same thing happens. I only activated the "automatic turn off screen by proximity" in options and when the proximity sensor is activated the phone switches itself off but then comes back on. With the 1.53 version works fine, but sometimes if the sensor is covered before that the proximity sensor is activated the screen don't turns off. these can happen for example whit the flip cover for galaxy s 3. If I close the flip when the screen is turned on and after that the proximity sensor is activated sometimes the screen don't turns off even if the proximity sensor is active. sorry for my bad english..

Yeah true mate, I am unable to find the best settings;)

Press thanks if you like my work/advice
[Android Apps and Games] Attanasio89:
This is my configuration:

Even the 1.58 version does not work with this configuration.

When the gravity sensor turn on the proximity sensor, if the proximity sensor is covered the screen turns off but the proximity sensor remains active and so the screen is turned on if it is discovered.

The only working version is 1.53 but sometimes it does not turn off the screen when the proximity sensor is covered before the gravity sensor activates it.

The configuration used with all versions is always the one shown in the screenshots attached.

thanks

[Android Apps and Games] rolapinou:
Hi !

I'm new here and follow the link from the playstore page for this app.

I'm having a HTC One and being quite a n00b on Android.

The app works great for turnin off the phone, and not that great for turning it on.

Typically, the proximity sensor doesn't seem to work, either for turning the phone back on or to switch it off.

I checked that the proximity sensor is effective when in a phone call, it displays/hides the screen as expected.

So the only way to wake the screen up is through motion and sometimes I have to shake the phone a little bit too much, even with sensibilty set up to 50 or 60.

Is it the same for the other HTC One owners or am I missing something in the settings ?

Thanks.

Been having terrible battery life lately. I posted to BetterBatteryStats thread and they said suspend_backoff was the problem, which is caused by sensor issues. Upon downloading Sensor test App many of my sensors have values going crazy. The only thing I could think of was Gravity screen app (which previously did not cause heavy drain).

I disabled and deleted the app and I'm still having bad drain. Can anyone help?

Basically I lost 50% overnight, with no screen-on time. I tried before and after removing the app and it's the same issue.
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
If you still have that high battery drain after removing Gravity screen it cleary has nothing todo with this app.

I suggest you install GSam Battery Monitor from play store let that run overnight and use the app sucker function to see what app is using the most power.
[Android Apps and Games] erikrh:
It's a good app, I think the newer versions are more battery hungry (15% avg) than previous versions ( < v1.46 - 6% avg) I can deal with this usage because it's really helpful. I would like to know if it's possible to add an option where the screen does not turn off if there's a fullscreen application running. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Neuer_User:
Battery usage also seems to be influenced by the proximity sensor method. If I use the alternative method, I have approximately 24% more usage l per day. (1%per hour), than using the normal method.

The experimental method does not work on my HTC one at all.
[Android Apps and Games] allidea:
I've been using this app for some time now (Galaxy S3) and I really find it useful, but I do have 1 feature request - it would be great to implement per app pause setting. My kids often play games and place phone in position where it is supposed to turn the screen off which result in loud calling out my name :cowboy:. If per app settings would be implemented it would prevent turning screen off when its not wanted. :good:

Another thing I've noticed is that app sometimes won't turn the screen on when the phone was idle for several hours so I need to press power button to turn screen on.
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
You can do that with Tasker, but probably increasing the screen on sensitivity would also solve this. I have mine set 70 and booster on and the phone never shuts down while holding it.
