I'd appreciate if you could try it out and let me know if it works well for you.

This is my first application and I have put a lot of work in making it easy to use and with a lot of features.

Hi abudgx,

Stay Alive looks quite useful. Would you consider posting a direct download for the APK so that people living in regions without Play Store access can also enjoy your app?

neat idea. i normally use something else.. but -- it has no icon? just stays in the notification bar?
[Android Apps and Games] m.is.for.michael:
Thanks for this!

Trying out as the configuring possibilities are so flexible. I particularly like the option to keep the screen on and not dim, and to keep it on only in selected applications. Any chance it could do both? That is, have the option not to dim at a per application level?

Yeah, I like widgets but for this type of application I find it's more useful to just drop the notification zone and change the settings while you are in an application. Otherwise you have to switch from your application to the launcher to access the widget and go back to your application...

[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
Hi,

To disable the app, just select the 3rd mode "Pause Stay Alive!" this will let the device sleep... You can quickly do it with the white bolt icon in the notification zone.

Stay Alive! will keep your screen on for certain apps. Let me know if you cannot get it to work.

For your other request, I tried to implement a timer to let the screen dim after a certain period of time but it is impossible for apps to know if the user has activity on the phone. I cannot detect if you touch the screen or not to know if it has been x minutes of inactivity.

The only thing I could do is to track the motion sensor for inactivity and when it has been idle for more than x minutes, disable SA! and let the device sleep. The problem with that is that you could also want your screen to stay on when your phone is on your desk without any user movements... Also motion sensor detection is more demanding on the battery...

I'm open to suggestions on how to implement it, but have not found a good way to make an inactivity timeout as of today.

You can, if you donated, activate the proximity sensor that will turn the screen off when you put your phone in your pocket, holster or face down on your desk.

Let me know if you have more suggestions or idea...

Hello,

Please help me.

Again back to the problem of "Dimming - (message in brightness setting: to Avoid overheating maximum brightness has been Reduced)"

I have a log from my Galaxy Mega (created in CatLog-Logcat Reader application).

Log has two parts (screenshot):

part one "part one.jpg":

Time: 20:43:13.972 (log number is 6727) - in this time start dimming.

part two "part two.jpg":

time: 20:43:43:964 (log number is 7159) - In this time maximum brightness again

I also attaching a complete log "log.txt" from my Galaxy Mega That can be opened for example in the "mLogcat_1_2_2_0"

Hopefully this log will help find the source of the problem with dimming and will go switch off or adjust or delete this protective function.

A lot of people will be very grateful if it will go to solve.

Here attaching file "log.zip" to download:

Hi Andrew,

Sorry I took so long to answer. It seems that this behavior is cannot be changed with a simple android API call. We would need a custom SDK/API from the device chip maker to disable this. Unfortunately, I went to the snapdragon web site to find an SDK and could not find any function in the ones provided.

If you want to try to contact your chip manufacturer to get more information and can get the SDK/API to change this behavior, I could take a look into it and try to implement it in SA!

Merry Xmas!

New Feature

Would it be possible to have a list of apps that we never want to keep the screen alive ?

Like the opposite of "Keep screen Alive! for specific apps". When I get into my car, the hand free mode starts. It pop up the hands free app and Stay Alive! then keep the screen alive for it when I don't want to.

I'm configured to always keep screen alive and manually close my screen when I don't need it anymore.

Lisies
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
SA! pause itself when you close your phone and as long and resume when you unlock it but I never tought to test the scenario where an app like hands free would pop up in front of the lock screen.

I will test this and get back to you. Thanks for the suggestion.
[Android Apps and Games] lisies:
Let me know if you cannot reproduce the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
I did reproduce it. I will maybe add a list of apps that never stay alive. With the application selection helper, it will be eazy to select apps to exclude like hands free.

Please Update!!

Hi, Thanks for the app, It is a bit stupid that there is an app needed for such a basic function on some Roms.

I have just Donated to get the extra options, specially to be able to get rid of the status bar icon and the notification it is shown on the notification area, thiss notification is really annoying since I don't want a permanent notification for something I know its there.

I didn't realize I couldn't get rid of that notification until after I donated and I honestly wouldn't have donated if I knew.

However now I will stick to the app, and please, add this feature as soon as possible!

Once you do, I will leave you a 5* review on the Play store.

Thanks!

Samsung S5 4.2.2

Just changed from S4 to S5.

The app is now not working correctly. I have set keep screen for selected apps. (Phone and contacts).

However the screen goes completely dark instead of dimming.

I also have "stay Alive and allow the screen to dim" on.
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
Hi,

Glad you like the app.

As for the notification, Android has a limitation where it randomly kills any background app to clear memory. The only way to keep an app active memory is to run it as a service with a notification entry. The notification entry prevent Android from killing the application. Since Stay Alive! needs to keep a wake lock on the screen to keep it on, it would automatically release it if it was killed by Android and your screen would turn off. If I could hide the notification entry, I would but it's really an Android limitation not a design flaw. There is a way to create a sticky service without notification that is automatically recreated when it is killed by Android but it would still causes the wake lock to be released and make your screen sleep.

The notification is also there to help you monitor if SA! is running and if it's currently keeping or not your screen on. You can try to select and hold the notification entry until you get the "App Info" menu. Select the menu item and it will open the app info screen. From there, you can uncheck the "Show notifications" check box. This will hide the notification entry. I did not performed any extensive test using this method, you can try it if you like. Again, Android prevent any app from changing this option for security purposes, it can only be done manually. Still this unsupported option may fit your needs but I have no control over it.

I did create an option to hide the icon in the status bar even if it is only possible on android 4.1 and up because the API was not available in older version of Android.

Hope that this will not prevent you from rating the app 5 stars.

If you have more question or request, do not hesitate.

Thank your for your support.
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
Hi,

Quick question, when the screen goes completely dark. If you touch it, it goes back on or you need to press a button to go back on ?

S5 should behave just like the S4. Can you try to reinstall the app, to go back to the defaut settings. Do not change any settings but these;

1. Make sure the second mode "Always keep screen Alive!" is checked.

2. Make sure "Keep screen Alive! for selected apps" is unchecked

3. Uncheck the "Stay Alive! and allow the screen to dim"

Wait to see if your screen dim and/or goes off. (It should stay on)

If it stays on, then try;

1. Check the "Stay Alive! and allow the screen to dim"

Wait to see if your screen dim and/or goes off. (It should dim, but stay on)

If it still works,

1. Check "Keep screen Alive! for selected apps" and select a the default web browser in the "Select apps that will Stay Alive!" to test.

Go in the test browser and wait. (It should dim, but stay on and the icon should have a white background)

Note: It's better to test with full brightness on.

Let me know the result of your tests, it will help me to help you.
[Android Apps and Games] surfer3000:

Any way to fix it?
[Android Apps and Games] kristamo:
I've installed your app on my Samsung tablet to stop the intermittent dimming and brightening that happens when it warms up. I did so because you posted it on one of the bigger threads about the problem as a fix. However, it's not stopping the problem for me. I have Always keep screen alive selected, and Stay Alive and allow screen to dim is unchecked. But the screen brightness still randomly goes up and down. Is there another setting I'm missing, or something else I'm doing wrong? Or does it just not work at lower brightness levels?

I like the black screen option. Especially at night while driving. It prevents screen lock and I can quickly wake it up.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
This is a know problem with these devices. SA! will stop your screen from going to sleep but the brightness up/down problem is hardware releated. I looked around in the snapdragon sdk to find a way to prevent it but no luck, nothing is exposed to prevent it. You can try to lower the brightness a little.
[Android Apps and Games] kryz70fr:
with blackscreen option, if i listen music with deezer, the sceen will become black ... left/right slide to change tracks will working with black screen ? or screen will be on when touch screen ?
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
The blackscreen option just show a black picture on the screen to make it looks like it is off and consumes less battery on AMOLED screen for the app you previously selected. As soon as you touch the screen it will hide the black picture and show your app. That means that your app will not receive any gestures until you touch the screen to hide the black picture.

Conclusion, you need to touch the screen then slide left/right to change track then wait for the screen to go to black again. The best thing would be to test it. You will see that it's easy to use. Let me know how it goes for you.

Hope this helps
[Android Apps and Games] kryz70fr:
Ok, to get an try with blackscreen we must donate i see?
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
Yes it's a donator option. The stay alive for specifics apps is free but the black screen is part of the donation options.

[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:

[Android Apps and Games] kryz70fr:
not try yet, but i will tell you the result ... i'm just afraid about draining battery, i have test knockr that drains a lot of
[Android Apps and Games] kryz70fr:
I have get the black screen option.

I had a little trouble parametrer application, Pause Stay Alive! + Adding the Deezer application in the menu blackscreen.

This only seems to work if there is no lockscreen on:

From time to time, to wake up after touching the screen, I have the menu Stay Alive! options displayed instead of the deezer application. The phone goes to sleep, but before blackscreen is enabled, there is like a little flash, the screen comes back a few tenths of a second and I see the option menu. (I think in the case where there is a lockscreen)

Maybe a line of improvement if we can avoid the transition between the screen OFF and the black screen or the screen turns back on?

I have yet to test in real conditions in the car, I'll tell you ... but i think that will be ok
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
Thank your for the follow up.

1. You can either pause SA! to let your screen timeout. When it times out, SA! sees that deezer is running and show a black screen. You can also check "Enable selected apps mode", then check "Keep screen on EXCEPT for select apps" then select "deezer.android.app". This will tell SA! to let your screen timeout when your are running deezer in foreground without the need to pause SA!.

2. OK, I downloaded deezer and was able to reproduce it. When SA! show a black screen, it actually calls SA! and display a black image. When it calls SA!, if the menu is still loaded, it will briefly display it. When you leave SA!, don't use the home button but close SA! using the back button or the left arrow in the header. This will unload SA! menu from memory.

Try this and let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] kryz70fr:
All is ok, i have adopted the blackscreen option :)

Perhaps, an slider option to set the time touched the screen to wake up ? I would like to shorten it a bit
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
Glad you like it.

The way it is currently setup is, long press if your on battery to prevent the user to wake it up too easily. Short press if you are charging.

i got this error what does this mean, how to get it back again, i dont know how i got it
[Android Apps and Games] abudgx:
This is the helper message that will appear if you go in a selection list of apps in StayAlive!. If you follow the instructions, it helps you to automatically select the proper app.

1. Start SA! settings

2. Check "Enable Selected Apps"

3. Go in "Select apps that will (NOT) Stay Alive!

This will show the list of apps and will start the helper. If you follow the helper instructions, it will tell you to leave the list of apps open, switch to your app (it will detect its name), from your app, drop the notification windows, select SA! entry (it will go back to the app list and fill the name automatically), then check your app to enable it.

Just close the list of apps and go back the the main menu to stop the helper. This is the same for the selection list of app for the black screen option.

Let me know if you have more questions. If you have time, 5 starts reviews always helps.

Dear OP

would like very much to try this but right now have issues downloading

meanwhile a couple of questions if you can kindly address

1. is it possible to stay alive if the app is in background or only if it is in foreground?

2. am on kitkat on Note 2- other apps i tried earlier worked by enforcing a wakelock which doesnt suit my purpose (long story so skipping it), Does this also work the same way or differently

Thanks in advance
