Your idea sounds good in theory, but practically, this can't work. It takes some time (about 1 second) for our screens to turn the pixels again, so after turning off all the pixels, they would be black for the next second, which would give you 1 FPS with black screen between the frames...
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] albiGib:
I've just stumbled across this and I've downloaded it. It's a brilliant idea in my opinion, and it would definitley be something I'd do if I want to squeeze my last bit of battery or what have you.

I'll give it a go and see how it goes!
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ItsTommyBoy:
I'm sure it doesn't hurt to try it out. Will be downloading it later. We could also use GSAM Battery Monitor app to track battery usage prior to downloading it and afterwards. Then post results on how much it will affect battery life with the app.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] disip:
I'm glad you guys find this app useful.

I've just updated the app to version 1.2, see changelog in post #2.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] davtse:
both 1.1.1 and 1.2 causes a blackscreen when I try to open the app after a reboot. The device is still working (charging led goes on and off when on charge and softkeys produce a vibration when touched) but the screen just doesn't turn on
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] disip:
That's pretty strange issue - I have never faced this problem and it seems like you are the only one for now.

Maybe that's contained with ROM you're using - I have no idea.

//oh ok I see, same happend to me. I must check what's going on. Thanks for your feedback.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] davtse:
I'm on slimsaberkat. Reboot phone, click on the app(in launcher and notification, it happens for both) and it causes a blackscreen. Maybe a conflict with another app, I'm not sure for now. I'm using Lux as well which also uses overlays. I'll test and see if I can narrow down the cause of the problem. I'll report here if I do
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] disip:
No need too, it happened to me too :)

I already know what causes this - after reboot and launching the app therea are two meshes that displayed together makes the full black overlay, haha.

You don't need to reboot when it happens - just tap where the check buttons were to change the mesh level.

On my way to fix it.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] disip:
Fixed :)

Go to the first post to download v1.2.1
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] davtse:
another issue that I spent a while before finding out. When the filter/overlay is active, it interferes with the install button when trying to install APK. right now the work around is to use "turn off and close" but can the app be automated to do all that when install new APKs?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] disip:
I know about this, this happens with all overlay apps. As you described, you may temporarily disable the mesh when installing new apps.

For now I have no idea how to do it automatically when installing new apps, but be sure, when I find out, I will do it.

//edit - I've done some research and... got it. Coming soon :))
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] disip:
The next release (with auto. turning off the activity when installing new apps and turning on again when it's done; hidden statusbar icon; few small fixes;* and maybe more like widget etc.) will be available via Google Play in the next month when I'll be able to pay for the developer account.

Of course you can speed it up by donating, but I dont' want to force anyone to do this ;) so let's wait for it and for new features!

* - all the bold features are already done
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ranger4740:
Hey even if this app doesn't save power, not saying it doesn't, but it also makes a really good screen darkener for using phone at night in bed, I think it works better than the other screen brightness reducers.

The idea behind this app has some really great merit.

Keep up the great work!
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] disip:
Thanks ;)

So now I've got an idea for next feature - to specify darkness level just for - as you've wrote - reading at night :D

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Lifu':
I like the idea of this app but I'm not sure how much it really helps.

Using it for few days and couldn't tell the difference in battery saving, maybe because I use it on "Low/Medium" only.

Last night I put it on "Highest" to see if there is any difference and to my surprise it sucks too much life of my battery.

Anyway, I put it on "Off" and went to sleep, now I saw that even in off mode it still uses battery.

Android 4.4.2

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] disip:
Ok but how much did it really suck?

I mean, from what we can see on your third screenshot, it was 27% of full consuption, but it was hmm... 1% of the battery? Or even less?

By the way - on your first screen I can see you had your screen awake for about 2,5 hour and you lost only 30%. Isn't it good?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Lifu':
You say that it's ok that it uses 29% when the screen uses 41%? (I'm not accusing, I'm just asking)

For me it looks a little scary to be honest :)

LE: My concern is that it uses more battery than a game and that 2,5h awake was only 1h30m screen time at that time and I'm not sure is that good.

Anyway, please don't take this as a complaint, is more like a personal research because I didn't know how much it really helps.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] disip:
Battery stats work like that.

It "thinks" the mesh is just an averrage aplication, and it "sees" it all the time on the screen so nothing's wrong that it shows it consumes 29%.

Moreover, I would risk to say it SAVES 29%, because if there were normal-pixels it would really use this amount of battery %'s, but the pixels are OFF, so it THINKS it used the battery to power on the pixels, while in fact they were black (off).

I hope you understand my point.

Don't look at those numbers, just look how fast your battery is draining.

And to your question - I'm saying, that you lost only 30% of battery while your screen was awake for about 3 hours. It IS good IMO.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Lifu':
I understand your point. I just don't see it that way.

I see it this way: 1h30m screen time for about 30% battery means 4h30m for 90% battery time (not an accurate measurement).

I usually get 4h-5h screen time depends if I use it only for gaming (5h) or not (4h) after a full charge.

That's why I still don't know if it helps or not.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] disip:
Ok, thanks for your opinion.

I did just convert to the dev edition a few days ago. It stalled on me a few times last night and then this morning it dropped (still showed lte 3 bars) and the sync icon came on because it dropped overnight and Google couldn't reconnect.

No mods, just convert, and root. I did flash twrp, backup Rom and then flash back the stock recovery though. Not sure that would have anything to do with it.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
The S5 display doesn't look at all "grainy" to me. But then we can't see what you are looking at and discern if you have a faulty display or simply subjectively don't like some aspect of the S5 display or perhaps something else entirely.

You should have provided a screen shot or at least an in depth description. Assuming that the issue isn't dramatic it would be best to a comparative screenshot from a N3 and S5.

Hard to see in the pictures as you get your desktop/laptop's screen/pixel pitch show up which can exacerbate what you see.

It might be because of the AMOLED display? AMOLED displays tend to be a bit more grainy compared to LCD displays so that's what you might be noticing. But honestly for me my S5 screen looks just as sharp as my Xperia Z's if I don't hold it 2cm away from my face :S

I'm looking to unlock the sim so I can use a different carrier.

This is what I've tried so far....

I have sucessfully Rooted my phone

I have SuperSU, CWM Rom Manager, CWM Recovery, BusyBox Free.

I have tried GalaxSim Unlock and it identifies my IMEI Number and reports that Network Lock, Subset Network Lock, SP Lock, CP Lock & Data Lock are all unlocked & States that "Your Device Is Unlocked", however I'm still locked to T-Mobile.

After reading here on xda I believe this is because of the EFS v2 ???

Is there any way to SIM unlock this at the moment without going through T-Mobile?

Is there another way round this?

Can I down grade EFS? (I don't have any backups)

Happy to use a custom ROM or what ever is needed in order to do this.

Thanks for your help

Whats the best way to backup my EFS? Have you a link to a how too?

You could always change the 'sleep' option in settings to turn off the screen in 15 seconds. So after snoozing, the screen would turn off fast.

Otherwise install another alarm clock app like this one

It has this neat feature that you can just flip the phone when you want it to snooze.

Hope this helps!
