I would like to ask you to add a quick action from the icon on the launcher, similar to how Chrome has a new tab and a new anonymous tab action when you hold your finger on the icon. I use Samsung's "One Hand Operation +" and I have the option to select these shortcuts for some gestures. It would be great if I could keep the screen always on when using a long swipe from the left, for example.

I would also appreciate a version in which there is an option to disable via intent. Will you post it or can you send it to me?
[Android Apps and Games] Beat_Slayer:
So you can set it to trigger at 100 degrees.

You had previously 10, plus 90, there you have...

Our is it going backwards?
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Hey, sorry I didn't see this right away. If the angle detected while lying flat on the table (face up) is 90deg, that's definitely bad. This would also mean your "by motion except if tilted less than" is not working. What's the angle when the phone is vertical?
[Android Apps and Games] mikelimtw:
Once I pick up the phone, the angle measurement works correctly. I'm checking this from within the KinScreen app. So setting to 100 degrees won't work very well unfortunately.

---------- Post added at 04:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 AM ----------

The phone also outputs 90 degrees when vertical. I wonder if this has anything to do with screen rotation being enabled?
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
It shouldn't. So no matter what you do it's always at 90 deg? Send me an email we can try and debug it but it's probably a device issue.

KinScreen 2.0 issues with Galaxy Note 3

Flyview asked me to post this in the thread to see if others are experiencing an issue similar to mine. So here goes:

Device: Samsung Galaxy Note 3 LTE / SM-N9005 International, 16GB

OS: Lollipop / Echoe v22

KinScreen: v2.0.0

The problem I am having is that when I place my Note 3 flat on the table, the angle measurement to the right of Motion will start to steadily climb from 0 (or near 0) until it reaches 90 degrees about 8 seconds later. When I pick up the device the angle is measured correctly. This results in the conditional checking for the Except if... under the Motion to fail and my screen never turns off.

If anyone is having a similar issue please respond back with your device and OS version. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Hey, can you try the app "Sensor Kinetics" from the market and take a look at the gravity sensor section? See if there's any drift in any of the axes when you let the phone sit still for a little while. I have a couple more people reporting the same thing with Samsung Galaxy S5 devices.
[Android Apps and Games] muiriddin:
My lgg3 (verizon edition) is not having the angle measurement issue.
[Android Apps and Games] IvanFarionov:
It is goog idea. Now it's easy to personalize screen timeout.
[Android Apps and Games] mikelimtw:
Hey Flyview,

Sorry for the delayed response, I was busy with some work issues. I just tried the Sensor Kinetics app and I get the same results as the other app I used. There is no drift on any of the axes, and only the number in the thousandths place flutters a bit.

Exciting update!

2.1.1

-Greatly reduced battery usage!

-Added option: Turn off by covering proximity sensor except while charging

-Fixed bug where timeout after motion not always accurate

-Fixed bug where screen would continue to stay on if toggled keep on by tilt while tilted

-Various minor bug fixes

-Layout re-arrangement
[Android Apps and Games] muiriddin:
On the latest release my issue with the lg g3 proximity sensor not turning off the screen is back. I changed a few other things recently and will try to determine if those changes are related. VS985
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
What does the proximity indicator show inside KS? Please post a screenshot of your settings.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Android Apps and Games] muiriddin:
Okay assuming this works.... The screenshot should be attached.

It seems to detect proximity properly (the indicator does change to red). However for some reason the screen does not turn off.

Even worse the problem is intermittent.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Thanks. I can't reproduce it, proximity always overrides the motion for me. Are you able to reproduce it ever with KS open?

Are you able to get a logcat? You would need to be rooted + CatLog app. If so I can send you a special debugging version so we can see what's going on behind the scenes.
[Android Apps and Games] ugumba:
Thanks - great app, working well on xperia z2 (sirius) phone with CM12.

The "Buy" button does absolutely nothing though, no Play pop-up appears as I would expect.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
This is a common problem with the crappy Google IAP library + Google Play combo. Try clearing data on Google Play, then re - open Google play, agree to the prompt, then open KS again.

[Android Apps and Games] Ckovvi:
This is an excellent app. Its working amazing, I will definitely buy a pro version. Thanks. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] muiriddin:
So far the problem only occurs once in a while and I notice it when I look down on my hip (my phone is in a belt clip from seidio) and see that the screen is still on (the motion part appears to be keeping it on, however proximity fails to turn it off). To prove that proximity was firing when it was in the clip I took a screen shot when it was in the clip and the proximity sensor indicator in KS does show red.

Part of me is wondering if the clip is at the "edge" of the proximity sensor range and KS is sometime interpreting my clip as "waving" at the sensor when it is on my hip and therefore keeping the screen on. The last time the problem happened I had rebooted the phone that morning with KS installed and active and then noticed it was staying lit in my belt clip.

It is a work phone so it currently is not rooted and running stock 12b. I will try to do some further investigations this weekend if I get a chance...

---

Okay it just happened again and the launcher was open. I then switched to KS and put the phone back in the clip and it turned off as it should... So it appears that the problem does not occur when KS is the foreground app (aka open and onscreen)...
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Hey, can you email me at teqtic@gmail.com ? I can send you a special version to try out.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Have you tried adjusting the angle that is considered flat and have motion keep screen on when up above that angle? If you're reading with the phone flat on a table then I would suggest turning on manual toggle.

Thanks for the support! Please email me using the "Contact Support" left hand menu option in the app and send me some screenshots of how you have KinScreen set up. Using the widget or not shouldn't make a difference, unless your phone is not killing the app when you are using the widget.

Is it only the launcher shortcuts which you can select for the gestures? That would be neat. What would you want it to do? Toggle manual toggle? What are you looking to disable with the intent? The newest version (6.1.2) should now have working intents.

Sorry for the super late responses. I've forgotten to check this thread. Best place for direct support is to email me at kinscreen att teqtic dott com.
[Android Apps and Games] Degen:
Yes, I can only use launcher shortcuts. I would like to change the manual toggle.

I'll try disabling Kinscreen using an intent from Tasker based on some profiles (eg driving a car) again.

nexus 6 motion detection sensor noise bug

I'm a nexus 6 and nexus 4 owner, this app runs flawlessly on nexus 4 ,but unlike nexus 4 which can detect the subtlest montion, it does not work properly on nexus 6 ,when calibrate the nexus 6, the sensitivities set to X:0.479 Y:0.508 Z:0.8, the dev says this is bcz of the device's motion sensor is too noisy. i am NOT so sure about this reason ,hope you guys out there would test this if you have a nexus 6 :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] muiriddin:
Email sent...

--- added text below this line later ---

I want to publicly thank the developer for being responsive and helpful in chasing my issue. We have exchanged several emails and he has sent me several test versions. The next release should resolve the problem I was having...

Rarely in my android app buying experience have I found a developer this dedicated to helping a customer.

Thankyou!
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Thank you! Indeed the next version has been published and will be available soon. It contains these fixes:

2.1.2

-Fixed proximity sensor not catching proximity while in motion on some devices (ex. LG G3)

-Fixed proximity not allowing motion to trigger brightening of screen while charging with turn off by proximity except while charging and without keep bright

-Fixed wave over proximity not working immediately while charging and without keep bright

-Minor performance improvements
[Android Apps and Games] muiriddin:
This is going to sound strange, but are you calibrating it somewhere that moves? My office is at the top of a building and the heating and cooling equipment is right above me. If I calibrate the device on my desk at work I get very different sensitivities than if I calibrate it on the floor at home. I can only very slightly feel the vibration that my phone is picking up at work on my desk...
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
No, he has a Nexus 4 as well and it gets much lower values. There does actually appear to be a small problem with the Nexus 6 in that it has high baseline values for the accelerometer. That's what calibration does, it checks the baseline values (no motion) so that it knows what real motion is. Having said that, I actually then set the baseline values to be a little higher than what it finds. And it looks like I was actually doubling that value, which is not necessary. I'll be reviewing how I get the calibration values.
[Android Apps and Games] GaboWinter:
First of all, thanks a lot and congratulations for your work [MENTION=2584205]Flyview[/MENTION] this is a really great app!

I have a doubt, why the values under 10s may apply until the 10s after the last touch? I ask this because I'd love to have the chance of set the time to screen off by covering the proximity sensor on 3 or 4 seconds, the reason of this it's leave out the power button at all and there are some situations where it's "necessary" to me have a lower value.

Just to be clear, I'm not demanding anything, if this isn't possible, no problem, I will continue using the app because it's already very useful.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
It depends on the Android ROM installed. From what I've seen stock Android holds its own wakelock for a minimum of 10s from the last touch no matter how low the value for display timeout is set to. Having said that, if you haven't touched the screen in over 10s, KS will still time the display out in the amount of time you selected. For example if you chose 5s, and you just touched the screen it will take 10s. If you touched the screen 10s ago, it will time out in 5s.

[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Does anyone using KinScreen have a Samsung S-view cover? I need someone that uses the smart cover that also has root so we can take a look at some logcat. I am trying to find a reliable way to be informed of when the smart cover is open/closed. I have to make KS not work when the S-View cover is closed, since when the screen is on with the cover closed, the phone is unlocked and the proximity sensor is unavailable. This means if you power on the screen with the S-view cover closed, it won't time out due to proximity and would stay on in your pocket, for example.
[Android Apps and Games] GaboWinter:
Oh I see, thanks a lot for your answer! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
No one uses a Samsung smart cover ("S-view" flip cover)?
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Forgot to cover the new updates here. As usual if you have any questions or suggestions, please ask.

KS 2.1.3

-Refined the way calibration works, please re-calibrate

-Reduced CPU usage on some devices

-Don't apply different screen timeout for lockscreen on KK+ (ex. during incoming call on lockscreen)

-Use chosen lockscreen timeout when "active on lockscreen" before KK

-Fixed Lollipop action bar icon coloring

-Excluded from recent apps list on KitKat to prevent permanently killing service on 4.4.1 and 4.4.2.

KS 2.1.4

-Fixed proximity detection on Moto G 2014
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
New update:

KS 2.1.5

-Added Material design for pre-Lollipop Android versions!

-Fixed a small bug for devices without a gyroscope
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
New update posted yesterday:

KS 2.1.6:

-Fixed issue with button text being cut off on pre-Lollipop Android.

-Minor layout improvements.

Congratulations dev, that's a nice idea, hope this app don't drain my battery.

I'll try this wkd
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
It will have an effect on your battery but it certainly won't drain your battery. Also, there will be some battery savings from it turning the screen off earlier than you might otherwise if you let it time out. Let us know how you like it!
[Android Apps and Games] pato2015:
why is it not working on zenfone 2... when openning phone tru waving proximity"?
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
What happens? Can you open up KS and take a screenshot of your settings?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Oh I think I know what you mean. You can't turn the phone on by movement over proximity sensor, you can only keep the screen on that way. Keeping the proximity sensor active after the screen is off is a major battery drain.
[Android Apps and Games] Amiramac:
I have a problem...

After i uninstalled the app the timeout is always going back to 15s.no matter what i do...
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Impossible, it must still be installed or another app is affecting the display timeout.

I just lowered the price for this app, enjoy!
[Android Apps and Games] mva1985:
This is an awesome app. i've already purchased it.

I was wondering would a setting to keep the screen bright even on battery be possible?

Thanks

Sent from my SM-N910V
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
By that, do you mean that the screen won't dim and then suddenly turns off when it times out?
[Android Apps and Games] mva1985:
Exactly
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Guys I need some help. Two users now have reported that KS is not keeping the screen on in the latest version of MIUI ROMs. Anyone here on MIUI?
[Android Apps and Games] zan5hin:
Yes, I have MIUI and just installed KS for the first time on my new Redmi Note 2. It caused a bug whereby if you go to MIUI settings, If you change the sleep time to two minutes, it does not save this and changes back to 15 seconds (default).

1. Go to Settings -> Lock Screen

2. Change "Sleep" from 15 seconds to 2 minutes

3. Switch off the phone

4. Turn back on and it was 15 seconds again.

I uninstalled KS and it immediately fixed this bug.

I am running China Beta Developer ROM v5.8.27 (MIUI 7)
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Thanks for chiming in. That's not a bug, it should be changing that setting. Is KS successful in keeping the screen on through motion or otherwise?
[Android Apps and Games] zan5hin:
I reinstalled KS from the App Store.

On first run, the Motion sensor would change when I moved the device.

Then the screen turned off after 20 seconds.

When I wake the device a second time, the Motion sensor is stuck at 49.6 and greyed out.

Then the screen just turns off again after 20 seconds.

Am I to assume that this you designed it on purpose to switch off the screen after 20 seconds unless I pay for the full version?

Because that seems like a counter-intuitive thing, to actually reduce the functionality of my device?
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
No of course not. It's supposed to keep the screen on through motion, or angle, or by waving over proximity (all the options you see). For some reason it is not working on MIUI 6+ . Is there anything built into MIUI that blocks wakelocks?
[Android Apps and Games] Wrapp:
Kinscreen doesn't work stable in the Android M Preview. It works for a while but sometimes (I don't know when) it comes to a situation where the motion indicator is green and flickering, but proximity and screen are static red (indicating the Priority Sensor is covered, but it isn't) and the screen switches off, even I'm moving the device (since it wrongly detects the covered proximity sensor)

I know it's a preview, but...
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
This is often a problem if the glass over the proximity sensor gets dirty. Can you see if cleaning it does anything when this happens? What device is this on?
[Android Apps and Games] Wrapp:
I will try. It's a Nexus 5 using M-preview.

When this happens, I switch off/on the display using the hardware on/off switch and everything is fine
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Interesting. I'm on a Nexus 5 myself but haven't tried the M preview yet. It's probably time to. If it really is a problem with M that would be bad.

[MENTION=2584205]Flyview[/MENTION]

I was using this App (free version) for sometime on my phone and noting its usefulness, purchased it a couple of days back. The free features worked without issues.

After purchase, switched off motion and set 50°, above which it should keep the screen on. It worked till this morning. Now it has stopped working ie the screen doesn't remain on.

"0.0" is shown at the top but greyed out though my settings for the angle remains. If I enable motion, "motion" and "screen" at the top of the screen become green and flicker. If I enable proximity and wave my hand, the "Proximity" at the top turns red. Both of them together or even separately keep my screen on. I have even tried enabling priority notification. And uninstalled and reinstalled the App from Play Store. Still no luck with the angle.

The angle alone is not working and for me, that is more important. I have Greenify but this App is not set for hibernation.

Any ideas?

EDIT:

Suddenly the angle started working. Though I don't know why it stopped working earlier.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Hey, this might have been due to your phone's sensor freezing or something similar. If it was still bad I would have suggested a restart!
[Android Apps and Games] TNSMANI:
Thank you for the response. But I had already done a reboot which did not help. May be keeping the phone idle for sometime helped it to come out of the freeze.
[Android Apps and Games] TNSMANI:
It happened again yesterday. While the angle was stuck at 0° or sometimes at a higher value, it was grey. "Screen" was also greyed out. When I enabled motion, the app worked. Likewise proximity sensor also worked. A reboot did not solve it.

Then I downloaded Phone Tester App from Play Store and it showed that all my sensors were working.

Today I uninstalled Kin Screen and then rebooted. Then I installed Kin Screen again and now it is working alright.

The problem is that I can not replicate it. It happens haphazardly.

By the way, I am using the paid version.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Interesting. If it happens again, please test with the app Sensor Kinetics and look if values under "gravity sensor" are changing as you tilt the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] TNSMANI:
Will do and report back.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Has the problem stopped happening?
[Android Apps and Games] TNSMANI:
Yes. It happened only during those days I posted earlier. After that everything is hunky-dory.

Now both my sons also have installed KinScreen though I don't know whether they have the paid or free version.

Thank you once again.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
I have a Nexus 7 2013 (WiFi) user reporting that no options seem to be keeping the screen on and the statuses at the chop are not changing. This is on Android 6.0.1. Can anyone with this config try it out?

Hello. I was just wondering what the new price was, and if it was for a limited time? I just downloaded and when I choose upgrade, it's asking for $4.62 (in Canada). Is this correct? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Hi there. It was for a limited time. The price right now is based on 2.99USD, and with the Canadian dollar being so poor compared to the US dollar, plus taxes, that is correct. I'm in Canada too.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
There's a new update!

2.2.5 (January 17, 2016)

-Stopped using proximity bug workaround on Android 6.0.1

-Material style dialogs for pre-Lollipop devices

-Fixed proximity timeout button not getting greyed out if proximity sensor not available

-Stoped checking if KS updated whenever any app updated

-Added donation options

-Updated to appcompat 23.1.1
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
Looks like really what the good doc ordered. I upgraded (but that only activated the timeout periods). Probably do not need the other options, but still ...
[Android Apps and Games] enaybee:
Excellent replacement for Screebl Pro that I have been using for years now. I haven't checked out all the comments so if somebody has already requested this, please ignore. Is it possible to add an option to put an icon/indicator in status bar that will show/change colors if or when KinScreen is activated vs non-activated? This will serve as a visual indicator to see if KinScreen kicked in.

I have it running for a few mins and so far its very accurate in all scenarios. Thanks for sharing your work.
[Android Apps and Games] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Thank you, but I think I'd prefer a trial with all options enabled so that I can find out if it works the way I need it to with the options that are only enabled by IAP. If it did work the way I needed it to, then I would definitely buy it. Looks very promising.

Edit: I stand corrected! For some reason, I thought the option "by covering proximity sensor for" in general was grayed out. Maybe it was the lighting at work. :)
