It should already be the case that after screen off the "always on" toggle will be automatically disabled. Are you sure you're seeing it remain in the always on state? The notification will look different so you can check that way, or enter the app and see if the Notification status is green at the top.

It is probably an insensitive accelerometer sensor, nothing I can do about it.
[Android Apps and Games] Hawgfan486:
No its definitely staying on after I turn my screen off and back on. When I tap the notification and toggle it, it says "Screen Always On. Tap to cancel". I'll turn my screen off and when I turn it back on it still says the same thing. I can turn my screen off and on multiple times and it never clears until I manually toggle it back off.

Edit: right when I made this post I remembered I was using Tasker intents to disable and re-enable Kinscreen because I was having issues with it coming back on after turning my screen on (because of Forcedoze). I tried disabling the Tasker intents and the toggle didn't stay on this time. So that was the issue, sorry!
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Ahhh ok, I just checked the code and I was like that's impossible!

New update is out!

3.3.1 (July 15, 2016)

-Fix possible false manual turn off detection if screen off event is late

-Remember if manually turned off in case service restarts

-Keep bright while charging even without "keep bright" if something else is also keeping the screen on (angle, call, notification)

-Make keep bright while charging the default

-Added Lithuanian translation (Thanks Andrius!)

-Built for Android Nougat

Display on/off fading speed

I really like the display off fading animation. This a nice indicator Kinscreen is switching off the display soon. You have enough time to tap the device and bring it back on. But the long time it takes for display on fading animation is annoying. It should be less (0.5 sec) or even better instantly on.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
KinScreen doesn't control how quickly the screen fades from bright to dim or vice versa.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
KinScreen doesn't control how quickly the transition is from bright to dim or vice versa.

Hi Flyview,

Any reason why Kinscreen would not be compatible with LG V10 (T-Mobile but unlocked and rooted, of course)? At least that's what Google Play is telling me ("Your device isn't compatible with this version")...

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
I excluded it recently based on what a customer emailed me. We concluded that at least on the stock OS, the system wouldn't allow a timeout of less than 30s to be set. Please try downloading through XDA Labs and let us know if this is also the case for you!
[Android Apps and Games] modano:
Hi Flyview,

I hope you can help. KinScreen works perfect when I run it, as in, the active app. I see the motion text flashing, the screen does not turn off. But as soon as I switch to another app, or my home screen, KinScreen stops working. The screen dims and shuts off after 10 seconds (or whatever default is set to).

I have given it every kind of permission, battery, anything i could find, still no luck. Same problem with other similar apps such as Gravity, Intelliscreen, Smart stay auto....

Any suggestions?

device: Xiaomi Mi Note

android: 6.01

thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
It's the Xiaomi system's task killer. It's terrible. Do you have the notification hidden or are you showing it? There's a setting somewhere in the system settings for battery optimization that you can exclude KinScreen form as well.
[Android Apps and Games] modano:
I managed to get the KinScreen icon in the statusbar, but still not working.

I believe I did exclude it, i feel i tried every setting i could find. Will check again

But you would say, it should work, its just that xiaomi is killing it, it has nothing to do with access to sensors etc so i have to root the phone?

[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
100% the system killing it, I've had this problem with MIUI forever, I even excluded most XIAOMI devices in the Play Store.

There is also an additional option in MIUI you should check. Settings->Additional Settings->Battery & Performance ->Manage app's battery usage. There is a save power in background setup, which is set to standard as default. This means to letting the system decide which app to kill. There is also option to choose apps and disable power saving for them so you should do that for KinScreen. There's also an autostart option in Permissions -> Autostart.
[Android Apps and Games] modano:
Tried the following two attempts without luck:

1.

Battery & Performance > Manage apps battery usage: OFF. miui wont restrict background activities.

2.

Battery & Performance > Manage apps battery usage: Standard

with individual app settings for Kin: Background settings: No restrictions. and Background location: Allow

Just noticed that waving over proximity sensor works without having KinScreen being the active app (noticed it while being in battery settings writing this post)

So its the motion that doesnt work while not being the active app.... but app seem not to be killed...
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Well in that case it's still somehow restricting use of the motion sensor. Did you see my post above?
[Android Apps and Games] modano:
yes, I have played with all settings and no luck :(

is there any other rom i can put on instead? im getting tired of being restricted and not being able to run this and that app.

For example I cant get any weather app (who offers this setting) to show the temperature in the statusbar, it just keeps the default app icons. Guess miui denies apps access to the statusbar as well.

(stepping out for a bit, be back in an hour)

How do I setup tasker to run the intents? I tried to toggle and it worked, but now I can't get any to work correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] Weetbix:
I haven't used Tasker with intents much, and never with Kinscreen yet. From memory the trickiest part is making sure the right info is in the right place in Tasker - thanks to it having quite a few places to possibly get it wrong. With any luck one of the others can help you out.

---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 AM ----------

@Flyview .... search appears to be down at the moment, so feel free to tell me this it's already been suggested/discarded ... but I have a request.

What I would love to see is the ability to have "Turn screen on by waving hand over sensor" be permanently on in some situations.

For example - when at work my phone (Nexus 6p) is usually sitting beside me on my desk with the screen set to time out at 30 seconds and Kinscreen set to disable this feature after 10 minutes. This timeout setting is perfect for me normally - but it can get kind've annoying having to either pick it up to use the fingerprint sensor or put in my pin when I want to see something.

I don't really want to have to remember to change settings when I get too/leave work to increase/decrease timeouts. It would be awesome if I could get Kinscreen to keep this feature enabled all the time while connected to a certain wifi (i.e. work or home) only. Whether it's an option in the app or a tasker intent I don't mind .... but the ability would make my favourite feature even better.

[MENTION=2584205]Flyview[/MENTION],

Yesterday I found this app here and installed it.

As this app can show the display at high intensity during charging I immediately bought it.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] hyteoo:
[MENTION=2584205]Flyview[/MENTION], great job on this app, helps me a lot, even bought the pro version.

I would have a suggestion at:

Turn screen on...

By uncovering proximity sensor

[checkbox] Except if screen off for xx min

Can you implement seconds instead of minutes?

Reason: I am currently using an app that turns the flashlight on with power button double press.

If I put the phone in my pocket and immediately take it out, that registers as a power off/on fast enough to trigger the flashlight

Would be great to be able to specify a few seconds, 1 full minute would be too much.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
I'm not sure how that would help. That setting simply disables the turn on by proximity option after a certain time. If you disable it in a second it would never work. Would that other app be ClickLight? You can use the triple click function and it won't be a problem anymore :)
[Android Apps and Games] hyteoo:
I guess I misunderstood that setting

What I mean is: add a setting that will prevent turning screen on if screen was off for less than x seconds

Scenario:

Set new setting to 2seconds

1.

Screen turns off by covering proximity sensor

Wait 1s

Uncover proximity sensor

Nothing happens

2.

Screen turns off by covering proximity sensor

Wait 3s

Uncover proximity sensor

Screen turns on

I use Power torch, used to have click light but changed to this one
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
I'm sorry, it's too much of a niche case to put in a new option for, the app is already complex enough. I could just do it without adding in an option but then people that are used to waving their screen back on as soon as it timed out might think it's not working.

I just published an update on the Play store and XDA Labs:

3.4.1 (September 14, 2016)

-Fixed issue with proximity sensor getting stuck on Android Nougat 7.0 if using ambient display brightness
[Android Apps and Games] hyteoo:
I believe it could be a complementary option to the already existing one - would offer us more customization for a more complete pocket detection (disregard the flashlight scenario)

But in the end it's your decision :)
[Android Apps and Games] ulxerker:
sounds and looks very interesting. with this, do I have to expect a higher battery drain as a bunch of sensors seem to be active all the time?
[Android Apps and Games] Weetbix:
I have no figures to back it up ... But I don't notice any hit in battery life on my 6p with kin screen on. Depending on kernel settings etc I have had battery drain of less than 0.6% per hour with the screen off.
[Android Apps and Games] TNSMANI:
That will depend on your settings, I think. For me, since I use only the tilt angle to keep the screen on, the sensors are used only when the phone is awake. Using the proximity sensor to wake up the screen might have some implications for battery.
[Android Apps and Games] hyteoo:
wakeup bug found

[MENTION=2584205]Flyview[/MENTION], I found a bug in the app

My settings look like this

scenario:

let phone turn off by itself (20s timeout)

wait ~10s

wake up by waving over proximity sensor

unlock by fingerprint

-> screen turns off after 2 seconds instead of 20s

this happens about 50% of the tries.

Phone: Galaxy S7, stock, no root, Android 6.0.1, most recent build (MMB29K.G930FXXU1BPHJ)

Feature Request

Could you think about to add an option for:

- Vibrate at screen off
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Can you try this with KS in the foreground and see if the proximity status is remaining red when it shouldn't be?
[Android Apps and Games] mzguy:
It seems that turn off by proximity doesn't work if the notification shade is pulled down.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Sorry about the delay, I missed your post. I can't reproduce this. Can you try with KinScreen open in the foreground?
[Android Apps and Games] mzguy:
And now I can't reproduce it either. It may have been a temporary glitch, though I believe I saw it happen a couple times over a few days. Perhaps a restart cured it. I'll post again if it happens again and I learn more.

[Android Apps and Games] DjKr1z:
Helo Flyview,

1 question, the proximity sensor is always on when already unlocked the phone?

I check with camera, the sensor is blinking when locked (normal), and after unlocked to use the phone, the sensor keep blinking, can you make it off when already unlocked? (is this normal?)

Is suppose to be active when the phone is locked only right?

I am using S7E btw.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Thanks for checking in. It depends what features you're using in KS. If you use the keep-on or turn-off by proximity, then the proximity sensor has to stay on even after unlocked. If you only use turn-on by proximity then it should only be on after screen off.
[Android Apps and Games] DjKr1z:
Hi Flyview,

I only use the "Turn Screen on..." By uncovering proximity sensor (I only check this, the others is unchecked).

But the proximity seems always on. Can you check that? :)
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Always on? How do you know?
[Android Apps and Games] DjKr1z:
Hi Flyview,

Simply use camera to see the proximity blinking. Shows the proximity when turned on. Purple blink.

You can try it, or I will give you the video when I have time to upload to YouTube.

Thanks!

Edit: this is link of the photos. Hope you understand what I mean. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B5VDOSTR8OnyejBSVks2OTh0Vmc

The proximity sensor will nonstop turned on even the device is unlocked.

*I only use (turn screen on by uncovering proximity sensor) option.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Number 3 (lockscreen timout) seems to be working fine on Android 4.4.4. This may have been an issue in 4.4.2 only...

[Android Apps and Games] karajanlee123:
Really Great wok!!

Do you have a plan to make app to automatic open screen??:o
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
No sorry. To do that, you have to keep the processor/sensors awake, which would drain battery. That's why I decided against that.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
This might be a clue to fixing the lock screen time out setting on 4.4+. Looks like the an app actively needs to extend the time out on the lockscreen, even touch doesn't do it automatically.

[Android Apps and Games] muiriddin:
It worked great on my s3, but the proximity does not seem to work properly with my LG G3 (verizon edition) is anyone else noticing that if they cover the proximity sensor (the indicator goes red) the screen does not turn off after the proximity time?
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
That's strange. If the indicator goes red that means KS is aware the proximity sensor has been covered. What's the proximity timeout set to? How long are you waiting?

I really need to work on an update for this. I've been really busy with LeanDroid though...
[Android Apps and Games] muiriddin:
I set No motion timeout to 30s,

proximity timeout to 5s

and left lockscreen at the default 10s

Holding the device in my hands I cover the proximity detector and see the word go red, wait 10 seconds the word stays red the entire time and the screen stays on?
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Yea that's no good. Can you try toggling the service off and on? Although you've probably restarted your phone since this problem started.

EDIT: Does it turn off after 10s? There is actually a minimum time out of 10s from the last touch, built in by Android. That means the proximity timeout can only be 5s if it's already been 5s since the last touch.

What Android version is the phone on?
[Android Apps and Games] muiriddin:
Okay here is what I just tried...

I toggled the kinscreen off and then on and then covered the proximity sensor (so the word proximity went and stayed red) and slowly counted to 20. The screen stayed fully lit.

Then I rebooted the phone and tried again with the same result. Then I toggled kinscreen off and on and tried it again. Proximity goes red, but the screen stays on is what I am seeing in all three scenarios. The app worked great on my Galaxy S3. However on my LGG3 (model VS985) the word proximity goes red but the screen does not go out. This is with the settings for timing as I stated above 30s, 5s and 10s.

Okay, I cleared defaults uninstalled the app. Then I downloaded a new copy from the playstore and set the settings as follows 60s, 10s, 10s check on ignore no check on charging or stay bright. Held the phone made sure not to touch the screen and covered the proximity sensor without touching the screen then counted to 20 slowly... still no luck toggled and tried again same result.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
I assume you aren't charging with with the option to keep on while charging. That's pretty strange. Does the no-motion work?
[Android Apps and Games] muiriddin:
Your assumption is correct the phone is not plugged in or on a wireless charger at the time of my testing. The motion part works well, too well is now my problem, if I forget to turn the screen off and put it in my pocket and am moving it keeps the screen on now since proximity does not seem to shut it off...

Okay to see if no motion timeout works I changed it to 20s and unchecked ignore motion while flat up laid it on my desk. It goes dim at a count of 15 seconds and turns off at 20 seconds. So that part seems to work well...
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
I'll look into it and see what could be going on. Could you email teqtic@gmail.com? I will send you a debugging version and we can try and figure out what's going on.

P.S. no need to uncheck ignore if flat up.
[Android Apps and Games] muiriddin:
Email sent
[Android Apps and Games] tmacher:
Could you please add an option like in LeanDroid to disable the notification?
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
No can do, it's needed so that the system doesn't kill the service. If it did kill the service (which happens normally with non-foreground services), your screen would just shut off when you'd expect it to stay on by motion for example.

You can however, manually hide the notification by going to Settings -> Apps -> KinScreen and uncheck "show notifications". This is stated in the app description but it looks like most people don't read that far :P
[Android Apps and Games] tmacher:
Thx for answer, lately I'm a busy man and when the notification style change to that known from LeanDroid I thought this will be possible.

[Android Apps and Games] notbiased:
Great app. I particularly like the lock screen timeout option. In Z1C the timeout is too streched for my taste. Actually, this is the only app that is able to regulate it. If you added the ''Wave over proximity sensor to wake'' or something similar it would be worth a million!

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
I see, so you have a little LED that shows you when proximity sensor is on. Well sir I just checked the code and you are correct. I only register the proximity sensor on screen off when using only turn-on-by-proximity options but it looks like I forgot to actually unregister it on screen-on if only using turn-on options. Update will be coming! Thanks for reporting :)

Hi im new to using this app, was using different apps before, then heard that this app uses less battery drain so i decided to try it out with high hopes.
