Guys, on LG V10 - 6.0.1, I get sometimes situations that the screen is black, software nav buttons are visible and I have to press home button to see screen again. Not happening very often. Any idea what is causing that ? Using Delayed lock.
[Android Apps and Games] hnn:
First impressons and some bug reports

First, a great THANK YOU for a great product. I am a retired IT engineer, and I recognize a good product when I see one :). Lots of checkboxes in settings :D. I also appreciate that you have a good work around for Smart Lock, so I still can use fingerprint login. The previous product I used, AutoScreen, could not handle that.

I have just installed and bought the PRO version for my new Samsung Galaxy S7, on which I run Android 6.0.1. I am using Smart Launcher PRO and Fingerprint Unlock. (Almost) Everything works fine, once I have learnt to configure it properly.

However, I have found a few problems (I am only using the product to turn OFF the screen.) And I would also like to use Keep ON by motion (see below).

1. I have set it up to use only the Gravity sensor. However, after the first screen off/lock, the Keep Screen ON by Motion stops working. The nice wiggly figures on the setting screen also stop wiggling. EDIT: The problem comes and goes, I have not found out any consistency in the behaviour..

2. If, after reboot, I change Display timeout, for example from 2 min to 15 seconds, Gravity changes it back when it locks the screen. I have seen it reported earlier in the thread, but I just want to confirm that the problem is still there.

3. I can only use EITHER gravity sensor, OR proximity sensor. I thought I could use both by Unchecking Any Direction, and Checking Turn Screen ON by Proximity.

EDIT: I just realized that with this setting BOTH sensors need to react to lock screen. I thought it would be EITHER OR, not BOTH. Mea culpa! Of course this is the setting to use!

4. It seems the product is not enabled on boot, but you need to start it once after each reboot., although I have checked Start at Boot.

Gravity or proximity sensor?

I am using the product for two :

- to quickly lock my phone when I put it in the pocket, to avoid "pocket calls"

- to save battery by quickly turning it upside down.

No use for turning screen on.

I am now debating with myself wether to use gravity or proximity sensor or both for this.

Is there any other difference to be considered? Any difference in battery drain for the two?
[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
In general (most devices) proximity sensor will be more power efficient than reading "gravity" or other sensors.

Problem #1 may be doze related. Be sure to tick persistent notification option. #4 could be rom, root or root permissions related. Toggling boot launch setting (unticking/ticking) sometimes fixes this.

Hi everybody !

I'm using this app (pro) too, on my Huawei P9 Lite, Android 6.0 . Great . Very usefull, the only issu I've have ; sometime ( impossible to tell when and/or why ) app close himself... sometime 2 or 3 time a day, sometime 2 time a week....it remains a mystery........

So ,I miss something or Gavity Screen is not on the playstore anymore ?

sonneper

Excuse my poor English
[Android Apps and Games] rossimelthomas:
Usefull!

I will test it now
[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
- answer to app spontaneously terminating can be found in previous post

- indeed Gravity Screen is not currently in Play Store nor downloadable from XDA; hopefully just temporary
[Android Apps and Games] sonneper:
The answer may be ok, but I use it for a while and I have this problem again.

"hopefully just temporary" Yes, that's what I mean !

Thanks !
[Android Apps and Games] shaarky:
[MENTION=4914137]plexnor[/MENTION], can you please comment on Google play / XDA unavailability issue? It seems you haven't been on XDA for a while

already still I hope we will get comment on that as Gravity screen is really great piece of software .

Thank you.

I just tried to download it as well, and it's not in the Play Store. I really hope it comes back....it's an excellent app. Any news [MENTION=4914137]plexnor[/MENTION]
[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
It's back (at least for me) along with an update that includes a revised TOS. Always annoying to see this stuff as you don't know if it's boiler plate or reflects new collection practices. Guess I'll be keeping an eye on outgoing traffic for awhile to see if it differs from historical norms.
[Android Apps and Games] 32str8:
The developer seems to be selling data in the new free version with revised TOS. As a paid user, I would like some confirmation from the developer how this will not happen in the paid version and information on how to prevent the data collection.
[Android Apps and Games] heisert:
Maybe [MENTION=4914137]plexnor[/MENTION] could say something. I like and paid for this app too

[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
This option is recently added to the app.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
This is a side effect of the Smart lock Support - need to be fixed. Thanks for reporting it.

Can be caused also by battery saver app.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
The app is back.

First of all, as far as you are using the Unlocked version there is no any kind of app usage data collected. But if you are using the free version and you granted the Usage Access permission, the list of the installed apps

are sent anonymously to be used for apps trending analysis. Personally I would not worry about it too much, it's like fill out a survey.

To monetize the free version by adding ads was not an option because I find ads very distracting and originally I made the app for myself ;)
[Android Apps and Games] shaarky:
Thank you Plexnor for your reaction, we all hoped the removal wasn't permanent. Still, can you please comment on network connectivity requirement ? Eg. having app purchased, is still network connectivity required ?

Also if I have used free version and agreed with sending out the data and then purchased app, where I can revert my opinion ? The point is I didn't find it anywhere in the settings to turn it on or off ;-(

Last but not least - I see strange behavior in the latest version - when moving phone, I see value "blinking" in the Sensitivity settings for "Turn Screen ON by Motion" instead of / but not in "Keep screen ON by Motion", which I guess was the case previously - maybe I'm wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
Unfortunately, yes.

It's reverted automatically - no action required.

This is an unresolved issue so far. Does it blink after restarting the app? It's been reported some times across many past versions.
[Android Apps and Games] shaarky:
I guess it's for activation purposes, right ? Then this is absolutely fine.

Still it could be beneficial for both parties - you can have some more analytical data even from paying users while some others can be sure they can really disable it (eg. like me ;) )

I can't restart the app itself (at least turning it on/off while clearing last running apps doesn't help) but rebooting the phone helps. I'm using Delayed lock and Disabling Lock Screen (as I have finger print reader but Maas360 is still pushing it trough...still your app helps) + Smart lock Support. It has happened already even in the past still it's good to have such "diagnostic" option - I mean not seeing the number "blinking" means it actually doesn't work. BTW - checked after 2 hours and it doesn't work again... :(
[Android Apps and Games] DonSebbo:
Hi Plexnor,

first of all, a really great app! This wave over device feature ist awesome! But one question. Can you make an option that instead of waking the device by wake it activates ambient display from my nexus 6p?

So that there is only the clock and notifications with an black background. Would be awesome!

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
Yes, that's necessary for the validation.

Adding a check box maybe a good idea, I'll consider it.

For investigating your issue, please send me a feedback from the app to see your actual settings.
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
Unfortunately Google does not allow to activate Ambient Display by third party apps as far as I know.
[Android Apps and Games] sonneper:
By the way, since the last update ( 3.4.1 2016-08-15 ) it's running well !

[Android Apps and Games] 32str8:
Thanks for the response. As a paid user, a checkbox for disabling data collection is a great idea. Some paid users may even allow you to collect their data to help you pay the bills. Thanks for a great app.

[Android Apps and Games] squiros:
i really like your app. however, the 'data usage' requirement during install made me suspicious like many people on google play. after looking at my network, gravity screen is in fact making a connection. my data plan is very small, i don't want mystery connections eating my data plan. how much data is gravity screen transmitting? why not normal ads?
[Android Apps and Games] Fereze:
nice

Great app
[Android Apps and Games] DecypherT:
Do you have the ability to restrict data?

I'm running CyanogenOS and just restricted WiFi and cellular data in the privacy options and background data in data options.

I see no reason at all to let this app send (whatever is may be) data to a unknown server.

Is there any way to disable or limit the stacking 5 minute screen-on extension when swiping the proximity sensor? Seems like I've been falsely triggering it so the options to disable or limit it to 5 or 10 minutes top would be nice to have.
[Android Apps and Games] sheraro:
I'm rooted on 6.0.1 xperia Z5 compact

Phone is lying face up, turn screen on by proximity and keep screen on by motion are both disabled.

if I turn screen off manually it turn on after 5sec and then off, then once in a while it turn itself on for no reason.

if I let it turn off automatically it keep turning on once in a while too but without the initial 5sec-turn-on

don't know if it helps but I bought the inapp pro version yesterday

Thanks for reporting this issue.

So far no one reported similar issue before. Could you please send me a feedback from the app to investigate the case?
[Android Apps and Games] plexnor:
The only way to disable that at the moment to untick the Lying face up option, unfortunately.
[Android Apps and Games] powerdoesntrun:
On the latest version, if the keyboard is in focus when GravityScreen turns off the screen, the keyboard produces no text the next time I wake my phone. I have to close the keyboard and open it again before I can type.

[Android Apps and Games] Mahnsinn:
First I wanna say thank you for this awesome app. I really love it and I bought the inapp quite some time ago and found the app again a few weeks ago.

Back then when I bought the inapp (If I remember correctly) there was a function like the current "turn off while lying face up" just the other way around, meaning turning screen on and off by touching the sensor and not only screen on and automated screen off.

Srry got a bad day for Writing English -. -

Short what I am searching is the possibility to lay the phone screen up - > screen stays on

I touch the sensor - > screen turns off

I touch the sensor (maybe for 1,5 sec) - > screen turns on

Did I remember wrong and there was never such a feature or did I simply miss it?

Thx
[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
Core functionality is still there (under Table Sensor) just implemented a little differently. Initial state is 'off' vs 'on' and may require device lift and replace to reenable 'off' state.

App killed by Honor 5X

Hey guys, how are you?

I've been using Gravity screen at my LG K10 and it was working superb!

Two weeks ago I moved to Honor 5X and the app is not runnning ok anymore:

First the phone does not have giroscope so it does not turn on/off anymore when I remove or put it in my pocket, but that is ok.. I can live with that.

The worst part is that I cannot use the app anymore with the proximity sensor to turn on the screen. My phone is killing the app after some minutes with the screen off and even when I restart the phone it does not run automatically . I've checked all the setups but it is still not ok. I'm using OEM ROM (EMUI).

Do you know if there is any setting I'm missing? I am using the same settings I had on my old LG and I also double checked with a friend's settings and it seems ok.

Many thanks for the help!

Yeeea, it's a great idea! Thx for your app! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] JonasVFC:
I just bought the pro version of the app because I think it's awesome. Congrats to the dev.

[MENTION=4914137]plexnor[/MENTION] What do you think that instead of the motion to awake timeout starts after the last screen shutdown, it starts after the last notification received? I think it would be much more usefull
[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
Never had a problem w/Android killing apps that maintain a persistent notification; see option in GB settings. Also insure app is exempt from Doze in Marshmallow+ (if applicable).

---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

Trying to understand scenario; are you referring to face-up behavior? I don't see any other motion related timers aside from 'Keep screen ON by motion' which is an entirely different beast.
[Android Apps and Games] JonasVFC:
i'm talking about Screen on by motion - "Set the limit while the device cab be woken up by motion after the screen goes off". It was more usefull that this would be ".... after received the last notification".
[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
Sorry - my gaff (forgot to expand the option to see timeouts). I can see your point but would certainly prefer an option to allow either from last screen off or last notification. Although I do not use this feature at present the unpredictability of notifications would be a significant liability (for me) without another setting to limit total SOT sans motion.
[Android Apps and Games] JonasVFC:
the option to choose between the two would be the best of both worlds

Keep screen on problem with MIUI8

I have a little problem with the keep screen on funktion and maybe Miui8. With MIUI version 7 all works fine, but at the moment the keep screen on funktion work only if the preferences screen is shown. If gravity screen not shown, this funktion is not working. Checked the setting to hold the app in memory and active, give all right in MIUI and disabled energy saver for this app. But nothing work. Maybe a little bug ? or a special setting in MIUI 8 ? have someone else the same problem or a tip to fix it.

Gravity version 3.5

all tipps are welcome ;)

kind regards
[Android Apps and Games] nguyenson_44:
The app usually FC when I launched (could not knew why?). Buts It untill run in background. I think: It's the reason of the battery used. Go back to the version 1.78.8 Pro. It run verywell now (note 4, SM-N910C, Android MM).
[Android Apps and Games] AlphaUMi:
I used this great app on my smartphone (Huawei Y300, Android 4.1.1) and never had a problem.

Now I purchased a tablet (Huawei Mediapad t1, Android 4.3) and have an issue having the app to start at boot. The option obviously is checked, but if I check the boot status with another app (SD Maid) it reveals to be disabled. If I enable the boot again, it works only the next boot, in all the subsequent boots Gravity Screen turns disabled again. Probably a problem with Android 4.3. Any thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] khingblue:
Suggestion: Is it possible to add a "battery saving" mode to tasker plugin?

I found that "Lying Face Up" and "Turn Screen ON by Motion" are quite useful, but they consume more energy as well. So I'd like to create a profile in Tasker, when connected with AC/USB, turn these two features on, when disconnected, turn them off while keep other features on. If there is a battery saving mode or similar option provided in Tasker plugin that will be great.
[Android Apps and Games] garyHal:
This app works great on my N6 (rooted). I have upgraded to the Pixel XL (unrooted) and behavior is very inconsistent, especially not autolocking immediately when pocketing the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] DecypherT:
[MENTION=4914137]plexnor[/MENTION], is there a way to make "double tap statusbar to sleep" work when enabling "power button support"?

For now my phone won't wake up by the proximity sensor when I use the "power button support" in your app AND the "double tap. to sleep" option from Cyanogenos.

I don't know if this can be done soft/hardware based, but still asking.

Have you tried the "Alternative Proximity Methode" in the 'Delayed Lock" submenu, it's kinda hidden in there.
[Android Apps and Games] garyHal:
That disables "Smart Lock", which will not unlock my phone with finger print.
[Android Apps and Games] DecypherT:
Damn, that sucks then..
[Android Apps and Games] HungLu:
Hi,

I just bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2.

I think the Gravity Screen shut off and lock the screen doesn’t work with the Tab S2 fingerprint.

I must always use the password to unlock the screen if it is shut off by the app.

Pause the app. The screen lock works again with fingerprint.

The message on the lock screen is different:

With Gravity Screen on -> “Swipe screen to unlock”

With Gravity Screen paused => “Use Fingerprint or Swipe the screen to unlock”

Could you fix the problem in the next release.

I like use the app but it’s annoying and taking time to enter the password (sometime misspelled!)

Thank you.

From Plexnor: To solve this issue you have to enable the SMART LOCK SUPPORT option in the app.

I did it and it works. Thank you Plexnor

Anyone have and apk for 3.6.1, 19 Nov

Yesterday I updated to Gravity Screen 3.6.1. I liked the small update, I received feedback (vibration) almost instantly when Gravity Screen activated.

Today, 20 November, I upgraded to Gravity Screen 3.6.2 which restores the previous functionality where Gravity Screen doesn't vibrate until after the screen turns off.

It's a small thing but I much prefer the quicker feedback.

I really like this app, maybe the vibration timing could be added as an option in a future release. i.e. vibrate as soon as Gravity Screen is activated or vibrate after the screen turns off.

Thanks.

Edit #1 Plexor very quickly sent me the apk

Edit #2 With Plexor's permission I'm attaching 3.6.1 apk. It vibrates sooner but apparently doesn't work for some people

Power button support, also tablet mode Q

Hi to the dev!

Excellent app, I've been using it on my nexus5 (rooted PureNexus 6.0.1) mainly to turn it on when taking the phone out of the bag thus preserving power button. Therefore only option turned on is "Turn on by proximity". However, power button option (if pressed to disable gravity screen) is not working for me. It would be nice to consume the battery over night.

One more question, I would like to make it work on my tablet Point of View Mobii tab-m7410 (http://www.pointofview-online.com/showroom.php?shop_mode=product_detail&product_id=535) without proximity sensor, to turn it on when out of the bag. Can it be done somehow?

Thanks.

3 x "Gravity Screen" in Google Play Store

I told a friend about Gravity Screen. After some time, I learned from him that the program sucks.

I asked him why?

After a while I realized that he tells me about a completely different program!

I checked in the store. Indeed, there are two other applications that have the same name.

[MENTION=4914137]plexnor[/MENTION]!

Is there nothing you can do in Google, so that other manufacturers did not use the name of your well-known, recognized and popular program?

Turn on doesn't work with proximity sensor

Hello,

I have a problem with Gravity scren on my Huawei P8 lite.

When I put my phone in my pocket it turns off correcty.

However, When I take it out from my pocket, it seems that the proximity sensor doesn't work every time. Indeed, even when I move my hand above the proximity sensor, the screen doesn't turn on.

The following settings are ticked in my appliaton:

-Switch on the screen by proximity

-Keep the srcreen on by movment

-Detection in the pocket : every direction

Do you know why it doesn't work ?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Doing a small check on, what we can do in this case, but I did not get very far.
