Below is what I found:

Turned ON "flip to Shhh" and it worked once then stopped working. I turned OFF Kinscreen and then turned OFF then turned ON "flip to Shhh" but could not get the flip to Shhh feature to work. Also, I noted that the "Do Not Disturb" feature stopped working. Turned OFF the "flip to Shhh" feature and tried the "Do Not Disturb" feature and found it also was not working.

I had to reboot the Pixel 3 XL to get the the "Do Not Disturb" feature working again.

Then turned ON "flip to Shhh" ON (with Kinscreen OFF) and found the "flip to Shhh" feature was not working. Also, the the "Do Not Disturb" feature stopped working again.

Rebooted phone again and the "Do Not Disturb" feature working is working again.

I noticed that after a reboot there is still a Kinscreen notification shown even with the app turned OFF (top right slider in Kinscreen app). This notification goes away once the slider is moved from the ON to OFF position.

I then played with the "flip to Shhh" feature but could not get it to work correctly.

I then uninstalled Kinscreen app and tried the "flip to Shhh" feature again and it worked the first try but once the phone was placed face up (call received) and then placed face down, the next call is still heard ringing.

"flip to Shhh" appears to stop working after a call is blocked (face down), call rings (face up), and then when the phone is placed face down the next call is heard ringing. This "flip to Shhh" failure was repeated even after a reboot.

It looks to me like there may be a bug in the "flip to Shhh" feature (when moving the phone from a face up to face down position multiple times) but I do not have any more time to play with it.

I hope this helps...

Wow sounds like a real mess. There are so many bugs in Google apps and Android in general, it's really sad. What do you mean by Do not Disturb no longer works?
[Android Apps and Games] mzguy:
Is there any new insight on this? I'd still love to get this app working with Tasker intents again.
[Android Apps and Games] zenosteam:
do you will make something for miui user please ?
[Android Apps and Games] blackspp:
Nice concept. I purchased the full version.

Sensitivity can be improved. I've got a steady hand so the device still switches off making it kind of useless for me. I now have to shake/move my hand a bit to keep it on.

On a Note 4 with stock rom, still not rooted.
[Android Apps and Games] meyerweb:
Did a search, and didn't find an answer to this question:

I use a car cradle, so when in the car the screen is facing toward the driver, not face up. Will the motion of the car prevent the screen from turning off? Based on your description, it sounds like the answer is yes. Is there any way to prevent this (other than turning the screen of manually)?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Yes it will keep it on. Only way to turn off will be power button or cover the proximity sensor until it goes off. I actually like it staying on while driving until I manually turn it off.

[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Have you tried calibrating recently? Make sure you leave it on a very still table during the process. Also make sure you aren't playing music through the speakers during calibration as that will cause inner vibrations.

[Android Apps and Games] meyerweb:
Thanks. I'll give it a try and see how it goes.
[Android Apps and Games] blackspp:
Hi, yes I have calibrated. A steady hand maybe just too much ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Also depends on the phone, if there's a lot of "noise" from the sensors, it will calibrate to that noise level as the base line.

Can anyone test this on a Samsung Galaxy S4 for me? People are reporting it doesn't work on an S4.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:

This update looks awesome :good::highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Just wait until you see 2.0 ;) COMING SOON!
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:

-New option to keep screen on if tilted up past a certain angle (good for setting on a stand for reading)

-Added back devices without a proximity sensor with warning

-Require Android 3.0
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Any feature requests? How's the new version working out?
[Android Apps and Games] 3ncrypt3d_Droid:
Working great on the oneplus one!!! Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] d8v8n8:
Hi there,

As you know, Kinscreen fits my needs a long time ago already ;) thus I don't have any more request. I really like what you've done and continuing to improve it all the time. :good:

KinScreen not working on Echoe v22 / INTL GN3

Hi Flyview,

I saw a recommendation of this app a few weeks back... can't remember from where... and I installed it. Worked like a charm on Stock Samsung KK 4.4.2. Then a few days ago, I took the plunge and decided to upgrade to Lollipop 5.0 using the Echoe v22 ROM. Now, KinScreen won't turn off the screen.

I have the following options set:

Keep screen on

By Motion: Checked and set tilt to register 10 degrees

By Waving over sensor: Checked

While tilted up more than: Checked and set to 30 degrees

While charging: Not checked

Turn screen off

By covering proximinity sensor: Checked

Timeouts

20 seconds when no motion

10 seconds when in proximity

Now I find that with no motion with my GN3 flat on the table, the Screen stays green all the time. It keeps the timeout extended but I can't figure out why. When I cover the proximity sensor, both Proximity and Screen turn red and the screen turns off as expected. I really like this app so I hope you can figure this out. Thanks for the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] Beat_Slayer:
Perhaps recalibrating the sensors sensibility may fix it...
[Android Apps and Games] mikelimtw:
I've recalibrated the sensors many times but it still doesn't fix it. I'm a bit sad as I've had to disable it for the time being. :(
[Android Apps and Games] Beat_Slayer:
You can try enabling/disabling the triggers one by one, so you can nail the one that's bugging the app...
[Android Apps and Games] mikelimtw:
Thanks for the tip, I've give it a try and report back later today. It's 5:16am in Taiwan and I should have been in bed hours ago. :p

UPDATE #1: OK, I just tried your suggestion and I found that when the option to keep the screen on by a tilt angle is enabled, it causes Screen to go green. The angle detected while laying flat on the table is 90 degrees so it never shuts off. Why is the angle detected 90 degrees when my GN3 is laying flat on the table? Is that normal?

UPDATE #2: I can confirm that the measured angle is the problem. Even with the switch off, the measured tilt is 90 degrees when my phone is face up and flat on the table. I've recalibrated several times and the measured angle is always 90 degrees in this position.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
I'm sorry there's not much I can do. It doesn't respect the wakelocks that KinScreen needs to function.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
New update released to Google Play and XDA Labs!

5.2.4 (January 30, 2019)

-Fixed app detection on some Android 5.0 devices

-Updated purchase system

-Updated About dialog style (spacing, date style, website link)

-Updated in-app link to go directly to privacy policy

-Linked "Our other apps" to website

I'm sorry I haven't yet figured out what's going on with the intents for Tasker. I assume they're still problematic?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hey, I love this app but it seems like it must run in the background in order to work, no? If I exit it from the recent apps, it doesn't work anymore, is that on purpose? Can't there be a amgisk module to have it all the time ?
[Android Apps and Games] mzguy:
[/COLOR]

That's not the case for me. I almost never open the app settings, and it works.

There is a memory leak in recent Android versions though, and it could be the system is killing apps on your phone out of necessity. Perhaps try rebooting occasionally?

---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------

Yes, same issue as before. They used to work, then stopped at some point. During this whole time, intents for other apps are working fine, so I know it's not a phone-specific or user-induced problem!

---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

Arrgghh... not sure why the previous post contains quotes and replies to two separate users, combined into one. Tried to fix, to no avail! Sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Yes, it needs to run in the background, that's why it runs a foreground service. Sigh... welcome to third party manufacturers and their love for turning the recent apps task switcher into an app killer. This doesn't happen on stock Android. What device?

Ok, looking into it now.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
[MENTION=6603007]mzguy[/MENTION] okay, I was able to fix the intents, sorry about that. I had removed the intent filters in the manifest once only explicit intents (specifying class) became required with Oreo. Still not sure why they're needed but I added them back and now this intent works again through adb shell, so it should work through Tasker:

am broadcast -a com.teqtic.kinscreen.INTENT_TOGGLE_SERVICE -n com.teqtic.kinscreen/.ToggleServiceReceiver

Fix will be out with the next update. I'm curious, what do you use the start/stop/toggle intents for?
[Android Apps and Games] mzguy:
Thanks! Are you fixing start and stop too, or just the toggle?

I use intents with Tasker to allow me to turn off my phone screen with a gesture and avoid the power button. Comes in handy. I use Nova launcher and tasker to assist with that.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Ya all of them are fixed. But how does starting/stopping KinScreen help with that?

New update is out on Google Play and XDA Labs:

5.3.0 (February 5, 2019)

-Added widget to toggle keep screen on manually in addition to notification / QS tile

-Fixed animations

-Fixed Tasker start/stop/toggle service intents
[Android Apps and Games] mzguy:
Thanks! Works great. With a Tasker script, I turn off Kinscreen to prevent it from keeping the screen awake, reduce the time out to the shortest length, and use Nova's action to darken the screen. Then, I can move the phone around, but not touch the screen, and it will sleep within 10 seconds. I then have tasker re-enable Kinscreen so it's activated the next time I turn on my screen. All that is triggered with a home screen gesture. It's pretty slick. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Or you could just flip the phone over to cover the proximity sensor and have KS do all that automatically :p
[Android Apps and Games] mzguy:
Not when it's on my mount in the car. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Hmm fair enough. Someone emailed asking for a similar feature. I think I'll build a QS toggle and widget to time screen out ASAP. Then you don't have to mess with Tasker and all that :)

I have reduced the price for premium and subscriptions by up to 60%! If you were on the fence to upgrade, now's the time to do it!
[Android Apps and Games] allidea:
I've came across KinScreen few days ago and gave it a try to replace Screebl. Definitely a promising app especially when you manage better in car behavior. I'd also like for KinScreen to turn off screen when my phone is paired with my car's BT against current behavior where it keeps screen on ... And I don't want to disable KinScreen in car because it really helps me a lot to just wave and turn phone on ...

Also don't know if intents worked previously but only intent working for me is TOGGLE intent whilst START and STOP don't work. Also please add a run at startup option ... Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] mzguy:
While options are great, especially for cases where many users won't use Tasker and deal with that complexity, please do keep the Tasker integration. It's one of the things that sets this app apart, and provides flexibility to power users.

For example, one advantage of my Tasker / Nova solution is this (don't know if you can replicate):

If I just put my phone in my pocket, Kinscreen shuts it down ASAP. However, in the meantime screen touches can cause all sorts of trouble. If I use my Tasker task to have Nova black-out the screen, it ignores keypresses and they can't launch apps, etc.. They do extend the screen timeout of course, but.... I have Tasker turn Kinsreen back on after about 12 seconds, so even if my screen is being occasionally pressed in my pocket, Kinscreen is able to finish the shutdown ASAP as long as there is a 3-5 second gap between accidental screen presses.

It's really a best-case solution for shutdown in-pocket. With Kinscreen / Nova / Tasker, I feel like my phone screen does exactly what I want in all scenarios.

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------

I actually don't use TOGGLE, but use START and STOP. They are working as of the most recent update on the Play store, version 5.3.0.

See here, and read down a few posts below as well:

EDIT: this post is better:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76148303&postcount=538

You can replace the INTENT_TOGGLE_SERVICE with either of these:

INTENT_STOP_SERVICE

INTENT_START_SERVICE

---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 PM ----------

Also, a few other points:

Kinscreen runs at startup for me. I reboot, and Kinscreen starts working after a few minutes of apps-loading delay.

A BT-off option might be helpful for some, but I prefer the opposite. I want it to stay on unless I shut it off. I used Tasker to aid in that, so I can avoid fiddling with the power button.
[Android Apps and Games] allidea:
Nope START and STOP intents don't work for me (nothing happens when I test them) only TOGGLE does. Also KinScreen doesn't automatically start on my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Ahh I see, that's too bad :(

It's a OnePlus 6 under stock ROM
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
I just verified all the intents and they work. Please make sure you're on the latest version and specifying the class (ToggleServiceReceiver). I will think about adding a bluetooth option under "time screen out". I actually like how the screen is kept on by motion while I'm driving. I usually have the phone charging anyway. Is it just me? Haha

Don't worry I won't remove the intents.

Check your "app management"/ battery saver settings. Third party Android phones are so notorious for blocking and restricting apps by default it's ridiculous.

You need to "lock" the app into memory from the recents screen. This is what's needed on OnePlus devices if I remember correctly.

New update out on Google Play and XDA Labs:

5.3.1 (February 10, 2019)

-Fixed some rare crashes related to billing system
[Android Apps and Games] allidea:
I have a Samsung S8+ with stock ROM 8.0.0.

My intents are set up correctly, the thing is they do work if I manually start KinScreen for the first time (upon boot) but they seem not to work if KinScreen hasn't been started previously. Hope I've managed to clear my issue a bit better this time.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Sounds like another battery killer issue. KinScreen should start up on its own after boot. Are you sure KS is actually still alive when the intents stop working?
[Android Apps and Games] allidea:
No I wouldn't say it's a battery issue. I've even excluded KS from battery optimization. Intents are working fine once KS has properly started. For some reason it doesn't start on my phone on boot so I have to start it manually. So my main issue is to make it start automatically.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
What device is it?
[Android Apps and Games] allidea:
Samsung S8+ with stock ROM 8.0.0. and TGP kernel.
[Android Apps and Games] allidea:
Double post, sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Can you email me please, I have an apk to test and see if it fixes it. I set the boot priority high to get it to start as soon as possible. If somehow your phone blocks this that would be insane, but let's try removing the priority.

New update out on Google Play and XDA Labs! This version finally fixes a very old but rare bug where on some devices the motion/angle sensors were getting stuck once in a while.

5.3.2 (2019.02.17)

-Fixed motion and/or angle sensors getting stuck after some time for some devices

-Do not disable manual toggle with screen off
[Android Apps and Games] mzguy:
I love all the recent updates, so don't take this the wrong way, but....

I liked the manual toggle to reset to off once the screen was turned off, as it was natural when I just wanted the screen temporarily stuck on for a while. Once I turned my screen off, that wasn't the case anymore.

Is there a way to make that a user option?
[Android Apps and Games] jaydee 77:
Thanks for constantly working on this and providing updates.

Sorry to say that, but i think "Do not disable manual toggle with screen off" is a major drawback. The manual keep screen on toggle is to temporarily disable Kinscreen's automatic screen features. So when I switch off the phone manually and the next time I'll use the phone Kinscreen should work as intended in automatic mode. I loved the feature as before the update. Could you think to revert it or make it switchable by the user?
[Android Apps and Games] kam333:
Another vote here for having an option to disable the manual toggle stays On after screen off.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Man you guys are hard to please. I changed it because someone wrote to me and was really adamant on it staying on until he toggled it back off! I guess I'll have to make it an option.
[Android Apps and Games] kam333:
Sorry [emoji54]

It is a great app btw.

Thanks [emoji1474]

New update out on Google Play and XDA Labs:

5.4.0 (2019.03.02)

-New option to reset manual toggle with screen off

-New option to update status bar icon

-Changed “Time out screen...” to “Time screen out...” to match “Keep screen on…”

-Set big text notification style in case it’s long

-Align checkboxes with top line of text

-Added free trial info to purchase options
[Android Apps and Games] mzguy:
Thanks for the changes! I can't figure out what the second change does to the status bar. Can you explain?

I see a Kinscreen notification when I use the manual toggle. It has either a hand icon or a sun-like icon. It appears that the toggle in settings merely changes which icon shows up. Is that the only difference?
[Android Apps and Games] David Nicer:
Hello, may I have a question why it is incompatible with POCO F1?
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
The toggle basically allows the status bar icon to change in real time to match what KS is doing to the screen. This was causing flickering or too much movement in the status bar for some people on some phones. Now that I think about it though I should still let the icon change when manual toggle is changed, since that's just a one time event (unlike something like motion).

I don't remember but I excluded it for a reason, probably doesn't respect wakelocks. Try downloading it through XDA Labs and let me know if it works!
[Android Apps and Games] mzguy:
Thanks for the explanation. I wasn't seeing it because I had turned off the notification for screen not manually kept on.

Does not work on Nokia 7 Plus Android One

Hello.

My mails do not reach the developer, I expose my problem here.

I have a Nokia 7 Plus Android One Pie.

When the phone goes out of sleep the application no longer responds. I gave all the permissions to the application and removed it from the battery saver.

I uninstalled and reinstalled but it does not change anything.

If someone has an idea...

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Hey! I'm glad you found another way to contact me. I've been responding to all your emails but you don't seem to be getting the responses.

Unfortunately Nokia uses a very aggressive task killer built into its system. Can you try combining through the settings to see if there's any setting you can change to allow KinScreen to run without being killed? Does it work with KS open in the foreground?
[Android Apps and Games] christ59520:
I have not received your emails and they are not in spam either. Strange!

What I do not understand is that I have several applications that works in background without any problem.

The Nokia 7 Plus runs on Android One (Pie), so there is no overlay Nokia, no task killer, so Nokia has nothing to do with the problem.

I activated the change of the notification icon to see when there is a movement with my phone. It works but when my phone goes out of sleep, the icon is still present but does not change anymore. The app no longer responds to movements.

Maybe a setting in your application for access to the sensors?
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
If you open up KS once you notice the notification icon stops updating, does it start working again?

New update out on Google Play and XDA Labs:

5.4.1 (2019.03.18)

-Update notification icon regardless of option if using manual toggle

-Updated translations
[Android Apps and Games] christ59520:
No change with the last update.

When I turn on the screen, the icon is still present but no longer responds (It only displays the hand.), even if the application is open in the background. If I go to KinScreen in the forefront or if I launch KinScreen, the icon works (hand + wheel) and your application too.

In summary, your app stays "asleep" when the smartphone goes out of sleep.

Hoping that this information will help you solve the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] lfom:
Hello. I have tried to use KS but it doesn't seem to work on EMUI 8.0, only while the app is in the foreground. What is strange is that I still see the notification and the service is running in the background, but the screen goes black as soon as the normal time runs out (yes, I have removed it fr battery saving features well as it was granted permission to modify system settings)... If I can help fixing it somehow, please let me know. Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] christ59520:
I think I found where the problem comes from with my Nokia 7 Plus and Android One. By stopping the application described here (https://www.frandroid.com/android/5...ingles-to-tuert-trop-easily-your-applications), KinScreen seems to work properly. What's strange is that I only had this problem with KinScreen.

Edit: False joy. I still have the same problem. So there is really a problem with this application and not my smartphone!

---------- Post added at 11:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ----------

Hello. I had a xiaomi smartphone too. To prevent the application from being killed, it must be excluded from the optimization of the battery AND protected. To protect her, she must have a padlock. It must be started, then we display the list of open applications (right Android buttons it seems to me), and instead of closing it by sliding upward, you have to protect it by sliding down. I do not remember if it's down or up. You just need a padlock to appear on the image of the application.

The application will no longer be killed.
