I have anyways installed it using the QR code but the screen unlocks on its own immediately after the screen turn on. It is a nice bug though :)

Great App. Unfortunately it does not work with Holo Locker ( and probably other locker apps).
[Android Apps and Games] khan_frd2002:
Hello OP... it is possible to unlock while screen is off in future update

Nice concept, but it does not work on my Galaxy S3 (i9300) with Android 4.2.2. I managed to unlock my screen twice (sporadically), but the rest of the time it didn't do anything.

Installed on XPERIA ZL Running Cynanogen 10.1.2.

- FC when unchecking "Start as phone start-up"

- I tried low, medium and high and sometimes it did not work.

- On the ZL it "cuts" the "Info" button at the bottom in half.

Overall, I liked it! It needs a little polishing.

galaxy tab 10.1 wifi

hello,

i don't know if the samsung galaxy tab 10.1 wifi has a proximity sensor but it doesn't work on it.

i hope it'll work when finished :)

ps: is it possible to use the sensor which also indicates there is sunlight so that the screen automatically changes brightness?
[Android Apps and Games] jtwebfusion:
Its currently set to medium on my n4 running 4.3. Two issues.

1: It doesn't like to unlock the first time when I plug it in.

2: Most of the time, it auto unlocks when I turn it on.

Hello :D

It seems that galaxy tab 10.1 is listed as unsupported in android dev console,

I think that it doesn't have proximity sensor, you could check using Z - Device Test

In what context? device does that automatically if you enable it from settings
[Android Apps and Games] kyokeun1234:
Just tried it and I feel awesome :p really cool app! Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Frankie_Ho:
will the sensor still on after i unlock my phone?
[Android Apps and Games] Zephyr!:
I guess no
[Android Apps and Games] bmbogdan:
The sensors will turn off after you unlock your phone, for keeping battery consumption to almost nothing :)
[Android Apps and Games] bmbogdan:
There's an youtube video on Magic Unlock google play page

An keep in mind the following things:

- lockscreen security needs to be off

- lockscreen needs to be active

- works only after the screen is on

- 'On' button means that the app is working

I will edit my post for better clarity and also releasing an update later today :)
[Android Apps and Games] bmbogdan:
1. You could try setting it on high

2. I haven't tested with 4.3, and the apk its supporting 2.3 to 4.2

I will do some research regarding 4.3

thanks

it seems my tablet (samsung galaxy tab 10.1 wifi) does not have the proximity sensor *tested with z device test*

and with the light sensor i meant for example if my hand hovers over my tablet my hand will block the (sun)light so that the sensor will register it getting darker and that it would be possible so that whenever the sensor registers a sudden darkness or to a certain level of darkness it unlocks the tablet

Version?

Which one is version 1.1.1 and 1.1.2? I installed the first link and it's showing version 1.1.1.
[Android Apps and Games] bmbogdan:
Version 1.1.2 is the debug version that will be on google play in a few hours,

Version 1.1.1 is the current release version available on google play

1.1.2 contains

- crash fix when checkbox start at phone start-up is pressed

- text that displays magic unlock status

- default on high priority mode

I will update the post with this info
[Android Apps and Games] bmbogdan:
Yes it's possible:D, also a good ideea for compatibility with devices that doesn't have a proximity sensor, i could detect a change in the light sensor and make it unlock.

I thought in the past at this possibility but i assumed that all phones have a proximity sensor, so initialy i didn't think about supporting tablets, but now i take this in consideration, Thanks!:d
[Android Apps and Games] dragonheurt:
thank you too :)

thank you too cause i really like this app :):):)

Hi,

You should have a lockscreen(without security) in order to work

Choose lockscreen type slide/swipe

You need the basic screen lock the one you simply swipe. No pin locked. No puzzle. No nothing that requires a password.

When your screen is just blocked (ready for you to slide your finger) instead move your hand over like on the movies and will unlock it.

[Android Apps and Games] bmbogdan:
I think you are reffering to a different app, this works only with hovering by using the proximity sensor :)
[Android Apps and Games] bmbogdan:
From my point of view,

1. There is no such thing as "no issue at all" due to strong android fragmentation / rooted devices / custom rom's, so neither my app or other similar apps works flawlessy on all devices

2. With Magic Unlock i wanted to deliver a simple app with no complicated settings that requires fewer permisions.

3. Of course if IntelliCover works better on your device than Magic Unlock, great then :)

Thanks! :D
[Android Apps and Games] formula84:
I have a phone without a smart cover, but its a flip folio, I was wondering if this could have an option added to once screen is on and proximity sensor reports that nothing is covering it that it unlocks? This way I could open my flap power on device and it would unlock without the need to hover... ?
[Android Apps and Games] dawabz94:
Hehe, I grant you the 1. ;) Must agree the perfect one is hard to find ... but must say also that I found nothing to complain about IntelliCover ... Same goes to CircleAlarm for exemple - at least on my S2/Note1/S3/Note2

Had no time to dig into Magick Unlock yet but sure will (IntelliCover has not been updated for a while, so I might need at some point to move on to something more recent)

I thank you for your answer, did not want to offense in anyway and it looks you understood that, that's nice

Thank for the app, will try and report back :)

Hi there, I really like the idea of this app and since I have an invisible unlock slider I'd really love to apply this app to my lockscreen. But It doesn't work for me :( Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I am relatively new to android. I'm using an S4 and I've tried turning it on to high even. Am I doing something wrong?

I should mention that I'm using WidgetLocker for my lockscreen and swiping left to right unlocks the phone.

[Google Chromecast] brizey:
Still trying to figure out if I want one. I know its only $35, but I have drawers full of $35 gadgets rotting away. I already have an Apple TV and a Roku 3 and a WD Live and a HTPC. All of which do everything this does and more. The streaming from the phone or tablet thing is goofy....your content is not on your phone (unless you are a 14 year old or something), its on a server somewhere (either netflix's or Amazon's or your own). Add in the lack of Ethernet (wireless sucks for streaming HD content...you are always at the mercy of your neighbors) and I think its a $35 drawer-space-taker-upper.

Someday I will be in Best Buy or something and my retard gene will kick in and I will buy one, play with it for a week, then into the drawer it goes, lol.

In this article: http://www.inquisitr.com/868923/chromecast-tv-35-google-dongle-is-cheap-but-how-well-does-it-work/ it says this:

Sorry if it wasn't what you were looking for, but how did you expect it to connect without Wi-fi? The nice thing is that your phone is free to be used as normal while streaming.

This isn't an application - it's a piece of hardware Google released yesterday to allow streaming to any HDTV (smart or not). See videos in the OP.
[Google Chromecast] danilos2k:
there is also an apk in the US play store to pair with the Chromecast HW and setup the wifi

[Google Chromecast] Joe T:
I picked one up at Best Buy yesterday and tried what you are asking. It will not work that way. You can setup and adhock network on your phone, connect the Chromecast and a 3rd device to stream to the Chromecast. I couldn't stream from the device providing the network.
[Google Chromecast] tjsooley:
So you could use a phone for the ad hoc network and connect a tablet and the chromecast and then stream from the tablet to the TV?
[Google Chromecast] Joe T:
Exactly. I used my S4 to setup the network, connected chromecast and my wife's Note 2 and streamed to the chromecast via her Note 2.

I really haven't played with it too much; just watched a couple of youtube videos but that did work.
[Google Chromecast] pl4cid:
Joe T, can you play local content like

- local stored movies

- local stored musik

- local stored pictures?

Cloud stuff is quite good but not everything is synced with google at my side, just my music..
[Google Chromecast] Joe T:
From what I gather... no unfortunately. Google Music should work, YouTube definitely works but those are the only two things I was able to stream.

I tried to stream a TV Portal (android app) show to it and there was no "Chromecast" option on mx player or my S4's stock player. I've only spent about an hour messing around with it though.

I actually looked into it this morning in hopes there was something I was missing, I wanted to stream my own content to it and came across this G+ post. It doesn't look like you can stream whatever you want to it.

Also, if you look on the chromecast developer site it states

"You may not publicly distribute or ship your Google Cast application without written permission from Google, per the terms of service described below."

and

"YOU MAY NOT PUBLICLY DISTRIBUTE CODE CONTAINING THIS SDK OR REFERENCING THESE APIs WITHOUT A WRITTEN AGREEMENT WITH GOOGLE ALLOWING YOU TO DO SO."

I hope google doesn't lock this down so only certain services can be used.

EDIT:

I was wrong. You can play local files through the Chrome Browser :D

I am probably going to have one of the first Chromecast dongles in Canada. I ordered it from Amazon with 2-day shipping to pick up in Point Roberts. I should have it by Friday or Saturday. I can report back as to how many region-related obstacles it throws up.
