Suggestion is great but how would I detect the motion if Proximity Sensor is OFF.

I am working on turning the app off for sometime after locking or unlocking the device.Your request is also pending.Hope, you be patient & wait.:rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] STAticKY:
With the accelerometer... I'm talking about fuse +split editors choice. Where I have shake and proximity to lock and proximity to unlock. Works really well

TP.
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
I will need to check that out.
[Android Apps and Games] formula84:
I was thinking regarding the fuse + spilt option... To only use shake if proximity is not covered. Basically I want to extra protect unlock with both in combination not one or the other.

Right now if I set proximity + shake to unlock it will unlock with either one which is not good. I was thinking you could have a check in place to only unlock using shake if the proximity is uncovered.
[Android Apps and Games] passlogin:
Yes i do support that. About that static issues it seems has disappear, but i can't confirm since i'm in a class and its noisy ;)

EDIT: it's a known hardware defect. I cant do nothing about this.
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Is the problem only on Nexus 4 or other devices too?

I can add an feature to stop my app when headset is inserted.
[Android Apps and Games] gr8hairy1:
I'm having trouble with the fuse option Proximity + Light. On the free version it will lock without anything over the proximity sensor, if it's low enough light. (And this happens on my phone, my wife's Galaxy S3, and a friend's Samsung Note 2)

I bought the paid version hoping it would be better, and it is....but it will not unlock the screen, only lock it for me. Any advice?

[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Hope, you try calibrating the sensors to have great experience with Light sensor.
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
The major issue has been solved & the new update will be available to download in few hrs.
[Android Apps and Games] Aashrey99:
After much deliberation I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy this app.

Initial impressions: It's awesome, while it works.

So I'm going to put down the issues I've noticed so far while running this on my Nexus 4 running Franco+ kernel and PSX ROM

1) The 'System Method (Root)' option in the Advance unlock setting is very erratic. After the screen gets locked, any attempt to unlock the screen will only result in the screen getting locked almost instantly and automatically for about 4-5 seconds since the last unlock. Upon changing the the setting to Wakelock or Activity Based, this issue is no longer there.

2) This one is an absolute deal breaker. After taking the steps to resolve issue 1, when my device gets locked and I don't use it for sometime(say 5 minutes) the screen simply does not turn on immediately like it does if the app has just locked my screen. I'm saying this, when the app locks my screen, and if I wake it up after 10 seconds or so, it turns on as expected. But if I wait for about 3-4 minutes or so and then try to wake my device, the screen does not turn on. It takes about 10 seconds or more for the screen to turn on.

I hope this helps and the OP fixes this immediately.

My Automaton configuration as of now:

Sensor

Sensor Mode: Pocket Mode - Proximity & Shake | Proximity

1st Sensor function: Unlock only

2nd Sensor function: Lock only

Sensor sensitivity: Normal (default)

Time and Battery:

Screen Lock Delay: 1

Unlock Screen Timeout: 0

Pocket Delay: 3

Security:

Advance Unlock: Wakelock

Every other setting is at it's default value. I am not using Automaton Gestures.
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
I am glad that you posted your problem here so that I could help to solve.

For now you don't use System Method, I think it changes from system to system that's why the issue is caused. I will check if, I can do something over it or find alternative.

I can't remove the lag when using System Method because it goes through long way to perform. I will try my best here too.

Thanks for reporting this issue. I will solve as fast as possible.

Hope, you change the rating as other things work fine.
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Hey, guys

I am back with very big news today Almost all the features of Automaton PRO has been inherited to the Free version.

That means Power of PRO for Free.

This version was supposed to be an Exclusive Xda edition but I merged with Free one.

I hope you make an review of the newest & awesome Free Version Ever.

[Android Apps and Games] dstruct2k:
Any chance of returning the old Proximity+Light fuse mode? None of the other modes are useful because they're ignored 9 times out of 10, or trigger randomly without reason. With Proximity+Light I was able to simply wave my hand over my device to turn on the screen with the right settings. Now the closest I can get is using Proximity alone, but the screen constantly turns itself on in my pocket, and the "turn screen off after X ms" setting doesn't do anything. (It also only goes to a maximum of 100ms, which would be pretty useless even if it did work... It takes me more than 0.1 seconds to move my hand to the screen, let alone slide the unlock ring.)
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
I guess you didn't find Proximity & Light in sensor mode or you want the old one.

I didn't few things in your above post.

I suggest to use Pocket Delay to prevent accidents screen unlock instantly after locking.
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
start automaton / activate administrator

app does not start. nothing happens on tapping "start automaton" / "activate administrator" buttons. i'm running v1.7.1 (trial) on lewa rom (jb 4.1.2). my device is micromax a110. any advice?
[Android Apps and Games] dstruct2k:
Pocket Delay is unavailable for the free version.

Here's the choices I have for modes:

I have been unable to get any of the "flip cover" modes to do anything at all, and that's the only place "Fuse: Proximity + Light" is an option. The older versions had this option for pocket mode as well.

"Unlock Screen Timeout" has a maximum setting of 100ms. 100 milliseconds is not enough time to trigger the screen-on and then unlock the device, it would turn off long before you finished unlocking. Luckily, this setting seems to also do absolutely nothing, because when I wave my hand over the proximity sensor to turn the screen on, it stays on for the full 30 seconds that I have set in my system settings as my screen timeout. (That is, on the rare occasion that it actually responds to the proximity sensor at all.)
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
The app crashes or start Automaton sensor doesn't work?
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
no crashes. the buttons blink for a split second and goes back off.
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
Hi,

the auto unlock feature doesn't seem to work, I'm on stock android 4.3 and I have MS Exchange as administrator too, which requires pin unlock, and would be interested in having a way to bypass that, is it possible?

Also, can you add a Function that simply turns the screen off (instead of locking it) to avoid having to input the pin unlock when the screen turns on?
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Unlock Screen Timeout works on some devices & some don't that's because of CPU handling.

I will increase the range of Timeout bit higher.

[MENTION=5003130]sordna[/MENTION]

Auto unlock is meant for unlocking unsecured lockscreen but if you want for secure then I can extend it to secured lockscreen too.

Hence, there will be no need of inputting pin till my app is on.
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
New update rolling out for Automaton Free & PRO both which will fix minor issues.
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
That would be great! This way, when it's night we can use your app so we won't have to put the PIN all the time. Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
I'll add it next update.
[Android Apps and Games] formula84:
Can you adjust the logic for rotation disabled in landscape? Right now with disable landscape, if phone is off sometimes it won't wake up, each time this happens I have auto rotate enabled, can you assist it so it only disables the turn off with rotation, and that way if the device is asleep in landscape and I open my cover it will always power on?
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Was waiting for someone like you for response. I did the same with Ignore App Detector.

No issues for designing it for Disable Landscape
[Android Apps and Games] thomas49:
I have a problem with my HTC ONE Tmobile German edition (not rooted).

I used the free version of automation at the moment.

I have tried the Fuse Mode “Proximty Sensor & Shake”. But it seems the shake mode is too much sensitive. When I put my phone out of the pocket with a little bit moving, the phone unlocks already.

Does the Pro Version have the possibility to change the sensitivity of the shake sensor much stronger?

Thank you for your help

[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
I haven't implemented shake calibration yet. Not in both the variants.

For now, you can try changing the shake sensor.

Actually, there are tons of things coming in next week.
[Android Apps and Games] gunawan-1:
Good app with best support. Thanks.

Work perfect with Ultra.

I also install clean master with auto clean with screen on function. I have to disable it because it will kill Automaton so it will not wake the phone.

Any idea to allow it with clean master? Because it doen't exist in task list of clean master.

Thanks.

Anyway, this app is very good.

[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
trial period?

Hi, just got the updated for Automaton which now became Automaton Locker. I noticed it mentions it is a "hardcoded trial", does it mean it expires on a particular date for everyone, or X days after first usage on a device? How long is the trial period ?

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Yep, Automaton Locker is now hard-coded trial & I'm trying to implement an counter from first usage.

Currently, the hardcoded trial date is 1st November.

The trial can be removed by buying the Unlocker.

Btw, new update to Automaton Locker is coming which will have the feature you wanted to skip the secured lockscreen.
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):

[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
Super!
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Thanks.

I wanted to get review about the UI?

Should I improve it, etc?

Leave your comments below.
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
Ok, here are some comments to help you improve the app:

1. Advance mode should instead be called: Advanced mode

2. Inside the advanced mode, the Wake Lock Type (1/2/3) is confusing, better say the actual names of the wakelock types you allow, this page has 6 different ones listed in a table: http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/development/pdk/docs/power_management.html

3. "lab" is confusing, better call it experimental or beta.

4. The Night Mode description is confusing. The start time will stop the app, and the stop time will start the app?

Instead of "Select start time" / "select stop time" better say: "Night begins at" / "Night ends at"

It also says "untick night mode to stop", so it makes people think unticking night mode will stop the app. Better remove that sentence, it's very clear that a check box called "night mode" will enable night mode.

5. In the Basic Panel, I cannot understand the option "Unlock Screen Timeout", please explain it. It says "Wake the screen for 3ms" so does it mean the screen will turn on for only 3ms and then turn off? Also the note says: "lower value consumes low battery". You probably need to say "less battery".

6. Advance Unlock should be called Advanced Unlock, and instead of "may highly saves" it should say "may save". Inside that menu, what does "Activity Based" and "System Method (Editor's choice)" mean? I noticed that the "System Method" issues the command: "input keyevent 26" based on my supersu logs, but what is "Activity based" ? If you don't have space to decribe in the menu, you should describe them in the FAQ. Also are you sure the advanced unlock options will have much difference in battery life? The unlock event is a very short event to just awke the phone, it's no the same as keeping the device on which does affect battery. Please explain.

7. Keep screen ON needs the description language corrected. It says "Screen will be awake till the device is not locked". That's not proper english, it should say: "Screen will be awake while the device is not locked" OR "Screen will be awake till the device is locked".
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Thanks [MENTION=5003130]sordna[/MENTION]

I didn't knew I did so many mistakes :what:

Thanks, I'll do those changes immediately.

Any suggestions for UI like sidebar, action bar, etc you feel?
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
I actually like your UI a lot! Let's fix those descriptions, it will make the app much more professional looking with the better English, and should make it easier for people to figure out and use.

Then if you add a way to unlock the pattern/pin/password lockscreen, it would be fantastic feature for the paid version, a lot of folks would buy the app just for that. There are so many threads of people that want this, for example:

Automaton Locker v2.60 released with couple of new additions.

It will available to download in few hours on Play Store.

v2.60

New: Disable Automaton complete

New: Notification with Screen OFF option

New: FAQ uploaded

Update: Only Lockscreen Mode out of beta

Update: New Night Mode algorithm added

Update: Sidebar updated

Settings UI improved

Credits updated

Few cosmetic improvements

Improved string, Thanks to Sordna
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
Nice update! Wow, you put me in the credits, I am very honored.

Ok about the UI, instead of having to scroll the Quick Toggles when you open the app (unless you are in landscape) why don't you put the buttons into 2 rows, so they fit the screen when you are holding the phone upright too ?

Some other small things:

1. About App still says v2.50, even though the changelog says v2.60.

2. Advanced Unlock still says "may highly saves" instead of "may highly save". Also curious to know what "Activity based" does exactly.

3. Keep screen ON says continuosly instead of continuously

4. In advanced panel, under Calibrate it says "experience users" instead of "experienced users"

5. Say Time says "Advance Settings" instead of "Advanced Settings"

6. Night Mode should better say (beta) instead of (Lab), since you also use (beta) elsewhere.

7. Regarding Disable Automaton (beta), can you explain what it is? Is it the same as turning the Automaton Locker off in the start screen ? Also in its description it should say Sensors instead of Sensor, since it's talking about many.
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):

Feedback:

One of the intelligently thought-out app functions. We can use with various sensors with what works best for our device. I enjoyed using it and really liked it. Was willing to buy the unlocker as well.

Issues:

The above feedback was on my other device (MicroMax A76). When I switched to Samsung Grand Quattro, it suddenly stopped working. The same settings and sensor did not work in Grand Quattro. This might have been an issue specific to this device, but the app may not be versatile enough to handle all devices.

Pls let me know if there is a fix for this issue. I was using the Shake + Proximity sensor to wake device.
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Thanks bro.

Currently, Samsung Devices which have recently upgraded to Android 4.2.2 have this issue.

firstly, great app! works absolutely brilliantly on my Xperia ZL.

secondly. i have a question.

i want set it so that when i close my cover, there is a timeout before an actual lock takes place. say for example, before 30 seconds after closing my cover, i reopen the cover and it will immediately go to my homescreen (or my last screen).

which setting should i be looking at?
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
For giving delay to lock your device go to app settings/Basic Panel then change the hold duration as per your requirement. Example if you want 30 second gap before locking the phone then just change the value & you'll get it.
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
Could you please close this thread to avoid new posts? People can still read the old posts.

Its confusing to have 2 open threads for the same thing :)

I posted about an issue in the other thread by the way.

[Android Apps and Games] Kabron287:
Hello, Akshay

Some tablets does not have suitable sensors at all, e.g. Chuwi v89.

In that case, I suggest to use multitouch feature of the screen. Just to place several adhesive metal foils in definite parts of the screen. Then the SW have to catch this multitouch event to switch on/off.

Is it possible to realize?

Thanks in advance,

No touchwake :( and only shake what works hard.my finger pain...

Is there no app when i take the phone in the hand and the phone wake up?

[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
I got your problem but touchwake takes up lot of battery & as per my info it can be used to my implementing in Kernel because I am using Touchwake in Siyah kernel.

You find out kernel which have touchwake & then use my app.

It will really make you feel better.

About Shake : Personally, I don't like shake. I like Shake + Proximity combined they give better results & save a lot of battery which is used in shake in unwanted locking & unlocking.

If you have any other questions then feel free to ask.

I've tested various Unlock-Algorithms and still went back to a deactivated lockscreen and Touch Control.

This way I'm slightly askance about your app - but I'll try it out.

The hardest part is always not to use your lock buttons anymore. Mostly I lock my phone by myself, put it in my pocket and your app reactivates it by proximity ;)

Is there any timer I could activate in the settings? Like, "when locked less then 3 seconds ago, don't unlock" or something like this.
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Thanks trying out my app.

I can guarantee you that my app works much different & better than any similar app available.

I will take your suggestion in to consideration & try to add it in next update.

Next, thing is you try Shake & Proximity it will help you lot.

One more thing, once you start using this app you will slowly stop using hardware keys because it happened to lot of my friends.

Have fun using & if you have questions then feel free to ask.
