Hi I like that app very much....it is allmost perfect.

One thing is a bit strange....lets say I have set the screen timout to 30s. As long as I hold my phone in the range your app prefents the screen to go off everything is fine but if I am out of range it goes off directly. I woud have suggested that it than goes off after those 30s. Lets say your moved your phone by exident out of range you dont want that the screen goes off directly without a chance to move it back.

Thanks for the app!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] muntos:
Correct...:)

Noted for next release ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DirkStorck:
That would be great :D
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] navarretemarce:
No trial available

I wanna give a try to your app but unfortunately no trial version is available.

Do you expect me to directly buy your program without previous trial having only 7 reviews 3 of them below 3 stars? This message is not intended as a critic only a small suggestion.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] muntos:
Trial version is available most of the time, except 2-3 days after the previous trial expires.

Now is available again on Market or attached in the first post.

I know is not much time, but every application bought from the Market has a 15 mins refound window.

Regarding the reviews this is quite frustrating as I can't answer to those people and they seem more interested in rating the application rather than contacting me in order to help them resolve their problems.

For example 2 of reviews with 2 or 3 stars are made using a Galaxy S2 which is the main test phone I use to test this application and I can guarantee that there aren't any of the problems raised by that users...

Regards,

Alex
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] navarretemarce:
Thanks for your replay. The trial seems to work great in my wildfire s . Rating your app 5* as deserved.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DirkStorck:
Found one litle bug I think.

Lets say you configured your screen filter to dim the screen during 00:00 and 08:30 and you switch the screen filter settings off on the widget and later switch it back on your settings aren'r aplyed again.

Rated your app 5 stars! :)

Version 1.9.2 is out.

What's New:

Added option to delay Screen Off after the ScreenOn Lock is released.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DirkStorck:
Hi, I like the new function but maybe it would be better if you could chose a higher delay than 10 sec or maybe the user can enter how many sec the delay should be

Thanks! :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] muntos:
If can be more than 10 seconds, but it possible to be higher than the phone's Screen time-out settings (mine is set to 15 sec) so the Screen will go off due to time-out settings.

Dialog Colors

I really like you app....Could you please change the text colors from white to some other color because it is hard to read :)

Thank you :D
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] myke38:
A great app, I like this.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] muntos:
I see but I have to find a way to detect the user's background (theme) because my theme is black and the white color text is easy to read on my phone :)

I'll check
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DirkStorck:
Maybe you could give the user an option in the settings to choose whitch color her want for background and textcolor :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] siskiou:
Hi again,

I have a question regarding the light sensor calibration, and the settings for the dynamic screen filter.

The lowest setting (no lights on at night) my phone shows is 160, but it's also 160 during the daytime in the living room, according to my phone. Is there nothing lower than 160?

And what should the general brightness be set to, if I want a very dark screen filter at night, but a much lesser one during the daytime, and none outside in bright light.

I'm not really sure how to accomplish this, seeing that no light/daylight inside both show as 160.

Am I doing something wrong? Or maybe my sensor is not working correctly?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] muntos:
The values read by the light sensor are particular to phone model. For example on my Galaxy S the lowest value was 100, on Galaxy S2 is 10...

Try an application that reads the light sensor values (like Light Sensor) and see what values you receive under different light conditions. If are the same, then it might be a problem with the light sensor or you ROM
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] siskiou:
Thanks!

I did check with a sensor app (AndroSensor), and with different roms (CM7, Skyraider, rmk's stock rom) and on CM7 the lowest lux reading is 320, and 160 on all others.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] muntos:
The value isn't important (it could be 100, 200, 1000 for the lowest reading) is important to get different values for different light conditions, also is better to get as many read values as possible (on my S2 I can get 6 different values).

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] muntos:
Oh, this is not so easy and will apply to only one or a couple of devices.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] siskiou:
Hi,

I bought your app a couple of weeks ago, and am generally very happy with it.

Just two questions:

-I have a screen filter set from 10pm until morning, and it works very well, but if I happen to need to filter at another time via the widget, the filter I run every night gets disabled, and consequently that filter will not come on unless I enable it again in the settings. Could this be changed somehow?

-I am trying to use the dynamic screen filter, but when I try to calibrate the light sensor, it is "Waiting for a value" for a really long time, until it finally starts registering something. Does this mean, when I use it, it's not registering the sensor values right away, and therefore the filtering doesn't really work?

Thanks in advance for your help!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] muntos:
Hi,

1. ok, I think I can change a little bit this behavior

2. first time when the program needs to read the light sensor values, you need to move your phone through all type of light conditions (from very bright to dark) or as many as you can. If you cover the light sensor with your hand you'll see that it register the new value but as long as the light conditions don't change then it will not register anything.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] siskiou:
Thanks very much for checking into this!

Thanks for explaining!

And do I keep autobrightness enabled on the phone when using the dynamic screenfilter, or uncheck it?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] muntos:
Autobrightness and dynamic filter work independently, you can disable it if you want.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tuorgustavo:

The application works perfectly
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] iowabeakster:
Hi,

I just found TSC (total screen control) yesterday and installed the trial version. What I really was interested in was the the ability to lock screen orientation for specific apps. I don't think there is anything else that does that. In fact, I was making my first baby steps into app development so that I could make such a thing myself. But I was really happy that I stumbled across TSC. This is great. Good work.

I really wanted this function because I kept getting irritated that my most commonly used app, Voice Dialer, would close if the screen orientation changed. I use Voice Dialer constantly for work, in my car. So it was especially annoying to have Voice Dialer close, when I picked up the phone or set it down. But, I still want to have auto-orientation for the other 99% of apps (they handle orientation changes just fine). I had been using another simple app called "Keep Screen" to lock the screen-on for Voice Dialer. TSC has the same function, and so many more.

The orientation lock works absolutely perfectly if I launch Voice Dialer in the portrait (vertical) orientation. YES, AWESOME!

but...

If I launch Voice Dialer in the landscape (horizontal) mode, TSC tries to switch it to portrait, and then the app closes. Boo. Voice Dialer just can't handle switching orientation.

// I tried other apps, just to try them, and TSC will also switch them to portrait orientation first, and then lock them in that orientation. But since they handle orientation changes just fine, they do not close or have any problems.

// Somewhat humorously, I launced Voice Dialer upside down, and TSC will then switch it around 180 degrees and then lock it. But it doesn't close... lol. Of course other apps do the same thing.

What I would REALLY like to see is if TSC would lock the orientation, as it is, when the specified app is launched, instead of switching to portrait first.

I don't know if this is what you (or others) want from the function, or even if it can really be done. But that is what I expected out of the "orientation lock" function.

Anyway, Keep up the good work. There are some bugs still, but I think you have some great ideas going with TSC. I will likely be buying the paid version, since the orientation lock will work as long as I launch Voice Dialer in portrait. I haven't found anything else that even does that for specified apps!

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] siskiou:
The screen filter bar sounds great, but doesn't seem to work on my droid incredible 2.

Absolutely nothing shows up, no matter what settings I choose. Am I missing an important step?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] muntos:
Have you updated to the latest available version on Market ? Initially I released a version from old sources that didn't work, but last night I put the correct version that should work.

Also don't forget to click on Enable Screen Filter Bar option.

Let me know how if it worked.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] siskiou:
Ah, I had the initial version! Updated again, and now it works fine! Very nice addition! :)

Now the only thing missing for me is to be able to turn off the soft key buttons. It doesn't work for the Dinc2. I have to use another app (superdim) for that, but it would be nice to have it work automatically with the screen filter.

Do you think there is a chance?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] muntos:
Yes, if there is a way then I have to find it, the problem is that I know it doesn't work on every phone, and for sure it doesn't work on my Galaxy S2 (or I think so...) so I don't really have how to test it.

But if you are willing to help me test this, I could investigate this.

Thanks.

P.S. This is the app ?

https://market.android.com/details?id=mobi.pruss.superdim

Do you have the phone rooted ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] siskiou:
I'd be happy if I could help test in some way. Just tell me what to do! :)

And that's the app, except I'm using the previous version, because this one just added another step to turning off the softkeys, for my phone.

And yes, it's rooted.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] muntos:
What do you mean by another step? I've installed it and doesn't seems to do anything with the softkeys...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] siskiou:
Well, on my phone I click on "Other lights" and then on "button-backlight portrait or landscape", depending on position of the phone. This turns off the home/menu/back/search key light on my phone just fine.

In the newer version, clicking on "button-backlight portrait/landscape" opens up another menu with a bunch of choices that don't make much sense to me, and don't do a thing on my phone. If you read the description of the app, they even mention to download an older version, if this one doesn't work for you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] muntos:
In don't have any other lights button on my phone. Nevermind, I'll send you a PM with some instructions
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] muntos:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] donpippo:
same problem on i9023.

Is there a fix?

thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] muntos:
Well this problem is not caused by Total Screen, don't know if is a bug on Android or a security protection.

The workaround is to disable Screen Filter from Total Screen Control

Here there are couple of options:

1. In the next version (this week) there will be an option in the settings of Total Screen that once enabled will automatically disable the Screen Filter when an Package installation activity is detected

2. Using current version search for "Package Installer" in the Applications Tab and there under Brightness settings (second icon) check "Disable Screen Filter for this application"

Under dyanmic screen filter.. i have set corresponding filter values for light sensor values (5, 1000)...... and i have also ticked Bright light detection at 5000 sensor value..

I have noticed that the screen filter is not disabled when i go in bright light... even though i have set my display brightness (phone setting) to approx 25% of the bar..

what could i be missing to disable the filters in bright light?

- Samsung I9000.. 2.3.6
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] muntos:
Bright light and dynamic filter overlaps one each-other.

You should only enable one of them, depending on what you want to achieve.

If you only want to disable the filter in bright light then use only bright light detection option.

If you want also to control the level of filter based on all light condition use dynamic filter.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] donpippo:
Hi, is there a way to set a value in the "light sensor value" in "dynamic filter"?

Thanks

Edit

Maybe found a bug:

1. Go to dynamic filter

2. Start the calibration

3. Rotate the phone

The only way to remove the "pop up light" is restart the phone
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] muntos:
There is no manual value input for light value as it doesn't make sense (at least for me) to input a value that the light sensor will never read.

For example your light sensor reads the maximum value of 5000 in bright light.

If you would be allowed to input let's say 7500 this threshold would never be reached so the screen filter value for this value will never be set.

For the popup light message, it will be removed in the next version.

Thanks,

Alex
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] donpippo:
What I get when go for calibration.

As you can see there are a lot of sample (taken in 2-3 seconds).

For me would be useful edit the value, or also have a button in "calibration" for manually take a single sample at time

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] muntos:
OMG :eek: !

Never seen so many values, what's your phone model ? On my Samsung SG2 and previous SG1 never seen more than 6-7 values :) !

Didn't expected that, let me think what I can do.

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] donpippo:
It's a i9023

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] donpippo:
maybe bug:

Default Brightness Settings:

1. Set brightness at 0 and automatic brightness enabled.

2. press ok

3. Try to disable automatic brightness

On my i9023 I can't. workaround:

1. set brightness at a value > 0 and disable automatic brightness

2. press ok

3. set brightness at 0

done.

feauture request:

Like in Application, have the ability to set a brightness level in Dynamic Screen Filter for each level

thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jaydee 77:
I bought Total Screen Control and found two bugs.

I use the per App setting with Disable Screen Filter and setting a high brightness level. When starting the app the settings get active, but closing the app results in a complete black screen. To get the screen on again i must lock and unlock the device with the power button.

I also use ScreenOn Lock, but sometimes it doesn't get active after unlocking the device. Then the status bar icon doesn't show the padlock symbol.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jaydee 77:
I played with the settings. It seems the bug only appears when Default Brightness is set to "0". With Default Brightness set to "1" or higher the screen dims not complete black when closing the app. Always Return to Default Brightness is set in both cases.

small bug on my sgs2

Hi, great app.

I used to use screenfilter but your app is so much better, it is worth the money.

A bug that i have found though that i hope you might fix. When i scroll down the notification bar (dark background) the headline of total screen control is written in white but the details are in black, it is vey hard to read. I have looked around in the options but i can't seem to find a way to set it to white.

//Big fan
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] muntos:
Alright, I will implement an option to change the colors, as it seems that are so many themes (ones are dark others are light) and is difficult to find a color that match all of them.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] raXuz:
Hi again. I think it will surfice with 2, White and black (Inverted)

Light/dark notification list.

P.s

To clarify, the issue is not in the notificationbar but on list when you scroll it down.

It is a bit weird though that the headline is in white but details are in black.

When implemented it will be a 5/5 on market ;)

//Big thanks for the quick answer.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] raXuz:
Found one more bug.

I have found another bug that needs fix.

I'm running an SGS2 and i hade the install issue of .apk's when I used Screen Filter, this was the main reason to switch to Total Screen control, when i today was trying to install an .apk i had the same problem. Yes I have the "fix install bug" checked and I still can't install.

Solution: Disable TSC, install and then re-enable TSC.

Please fix, this has to be some sort of ICS issue, I didn't have this problem in GB.

If more info is needed, let me know.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No it works just fine. For some reason i just had te re-enable the feture to get it running (Fix install bug).

Sorry for the wrong report.

I'm really looking forward to the "change text color in notification", but the market shows me no update.

Oh, wait, I had automatic update enabled.

It works great! Thanks!

I have a couple of questions, though: sometimes Total Screen Control goes through a phase where it asks for su control many, many times in a row, and the screen filter gets disabled/enabled over and over. This is at a time where the screen filter is not set to be on at all.

And the led/softkey lights sometimes come on without reason while the phone display is off (it's always the orange led, on my phone).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] donpippo:
last version and same problem
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] muntos:
It should asks su permissions only first time, indeed it can asks up to 6 times in a row, but only for the first time.

If you can replicate the problem I could investigate this.
