Hi
How I can know if the accelerometer is working?
Automatic rotation does not work in any application, even if under the "Screen Rotation" applications always rotate to one side but not turn the device.
Accelerometer sensor App form market works but always mark zero.
Any ideas?

You haven't got the screen rotation "Hard Lock" turned on do you? If not then the Accelerometer on your Vega sounds like it's broken.

I have found only two options "Display --> Autorotate Screen" and "G Sensor". I tried on & off.
Hard Lock is an option in any menu? Which?

On the top of the Vega, near the back button, there is a switch that you can fligh on and off. That is the "Rotation Lock". If that is turned on (you can see red by the switch) then the "Hard Lock" is on and the accelerometer is disabled.

I thought was the key lock button....
Thats right! It work perfectly.

I'm using Miri WM 6.5 Manila 2.5 REV 6.
If I go to Start -> Lock, it works fine. But for Auto Lock (Settings -> Lock) it requires specifying PIN.
Is there a way to use Auto Lock in WM 6.5 without entering PIN/password to unlock?

Did you try HDTweak yet? It has a setting for autolocking.
I have tested it and it works however, on mine there was a strange issue with the backlight where it wouldn't turn on after unlocking. I had to turn off the screen and then turn it on, then the backlight would come back. It's only a minor issue, but if you can live with it it'll be fine.

Many thanks. But I did not use HDTweak AutoLock option because of that very issue .
Don't understand why MS doesn't implement this simple functionality.

Hmm... give Slide2Unlock a try. It supports autolock, but it's also a separate app which means using it will cost you more memory than the built in lock. But if you are in desperate need for this functionality, give it a try and it might just work for you.
I believe the newest version is S2U2.
Hallo,
I use this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542482
May be it works with WM 6.5 as well

Its not the best solution, but a way round this is to stop your phone light going to dim in the power settings. Just have the screen turn off after 2 mins or so instead. This way the screen never goes dim therfore never stays dim!
Use this app. It overcomes the dim light issue. First go back to HD Tweak and DISABLE the lock on screen dim.
Install the cab and then go to Settings\System\Smartlock and tick the Dim lock or Suspend lock options. The screen will then autolock on dim or on pressing power and there are no problems with the light on unlocking.
Thanks everybody. I'll try.

Unfortunately the Incall lock (presuming it is for incoming calls, because there is Outcall lock that should be for outgoing calls) does not work. The hardware buttons still answer/reject the calls which can be a problem while pulling the phone out of the pouch .

Have a look at phonealarm

For me, it handles locking and unlocking, supporting the stylus, profiles, location based functions and many more.
Another alternative is S2U2

My legend won't flip 90degrees (horizontal) when i hold it that way when im looking at photo's or typing a message, it worked before but suddenly it doesnt anymore?
Is there any setting i dind't find? Could it be caused by an app(e.g. Swype, Swiftkey)
there are some apps which can disallow auto rotation, do you have switchpro or some other (auto rotate) toggle widget? If you don't you can try downloading one and toggle it so it would allow it. maybe there is some setting in your phone which can do that but mine is getting repaired so I can't check it atm.

Hi guys, I use screen rotator ever since I started using android, but now I was trying to find the service or program that handles the task switch after you long press the home key so I could use the task switcher in the horizontal mode and I could not find any thing related to it, do any of you android experts now this answer?
Cheers
My screen auto-rotates in the task switcher, I haven't changed any settings on it. I just have the "screen rotation" turned on.
Is auto-rotating working everywhere else?

Hi, thanks for the reply, I always have auto rotate switched off, I just want a few apps to auto rotate like Gallery and Gmail, if I turn it on everything works fine, however I want to limit the apps that auto rotate thats why I use Smart Rotator, but I wanted to allow the stock "task switcher" to have the same behaviour... I´ve searched online a lot and still could not find which service or program handles this...

Sorry, I missunderstood you earlier. I looked into it a little too, but couldn't find the option to enable the "task switcher" either. Have you tried the app Tasker? You might be able to set up a profile to auto rotate when "task switcher" is open. I haven't tried it personally, so I don't know how much hassle it is, or if it'll even work.
Hi there
Am I missing something or is there no way to turn off the vibrations when using the on screen buttons? I'm sure on most phones it's under the sound menu....
You weren't wrong; it is in Sounds. Look for the "Vibrate on tap" option in the Other Sounds submenu.

Got it, thanks. I don't really understand why the vibrate on touch option is under "Sounds", let alone hidden away in "Other Sounds" !
I have every setting I can find set to not vibrate and yet it still does. Is there truly no way to make it stop? I would like to find the software equivalent of "snip the wire to the haptic vibrator". Stupid waste of energy.

When is it still vibrating? 3rd party keyboards are common sources of this, they usually default to enabled.

Every time I touch the button. I don't use the fingerprint scanner and use the "one button nav" feature, and that setting is set to not vibrate also. Every time I touch it - lock, unlock, swipe left, right - it vibrates.
I know guys, there are a ton. But so far I found only two kinds:
- Some completely block your phone, not allowing you to unlock with face or fingerprint.
- Some -idk why- turn off the screen and randomly turn it on inmediatly after. This doesn't happen evertime, but it's a problem cos if you have smartlock activated then the screen is on and phone in unlocked...
I just want a way to imitate the power button single tap function. I don't like pressing physical buttons, I use a gesture to turn the screen off before putting it inside my pocket. And yesterday I pocket-dialed two people...
Nova has a double tap to sleep function, and greenify used to have a short-cut to the same thing.

I have previously used screen Lock pro. It's not working correctly with the s10+, I have sent a video of the problem to the developer & he says that he will have support for our phones quickly. I will let you know as soon as I am notified

Thanks :fingers-crossed:
I use Gravity Screen Pro. It has a pocket sensor setting, turn screen off/on by proximity, screen on/off by motion, fingerprint unlock, etc.
Either Gravity Screen or KinScreen. I have premium for both but have been using KinScreen for the past few years as it was stable than Gravity Screen, but I haven't used Gravity Screen's latest version either.

I'll have to look at KinScreen, although I've had zero problems WITH Gravity Screen on my S9.

So i initially tried using Nova double tap gesture. It would turn the screen off but a second later it would go to the lock screen. Now i use Good Lock by Samsung and i actually like it a lot. In Good Lock go to the the "Family" tab - (no idea why it's called this) and then select One Hand Operation +.... I created a Small Right handle that turns the screen off when i slide it. Works great and i have yet to activate it by accident.

My experience with these apps is that they fail sometimes and I just don't want to have my phone turning on inside my pocket, I think it's risky.

Yes, I looked for it and it's not on some regions. And it's not in mine. I'll try to find the apk.

What region are you in? Weird, because it's an official Samsung App... let me know if you can't find it and i can post the apk for you... Also, make sure it's the 1.0.00.46 version, as they just updated it to work with Pie.
I also am desperate for this feature. Tried all of the apps and all of them go to the lock screen for some reason. I contacted a couple of developers but idk if they can do anything. Tried the one hand gestures and it does work but the thing is I still prefer double tap to lock instead of those swipe gestures. I think this feature should be natively supported like on almost every other android phone.

And be aware that there is a Good Lock in Play Store but it's not the same app. Like someone else said, get the one in Galaxy Store.
Use edge feature and download softkey from galacy store just slide over and press button to lock phone

I use Nova for that: ||>>>Gestures & Inputs>Home button>Screen lock(uncheck "only on main home...")
then go to 'Gestures' below, click "Swipe up" and also check "Screen lock" Now, I use 'Full screen gestures" for nav bar already, so that Nova gesture setup is not messing up the nav bar gestures but rather compliments it. Example: I have some app open on the screen and swiping it up(w/o Nova) in the center would bring me to the Home screen(and that is being mimic w/Nova too) then the second 'swipe up' locks the screen. Simple, quick double 'swipe up' from any app does the trick, if you are on the home screen already then you just swipe it up only once.
I also use full screen gestures. The problem is not the gesture. The problem is that I need an app to turn off the screen. There are like a hundred apps that do that. But they all have one of the two problems I said before.
I'll look for the good lock in a bit. I have to find the apk.
"there was a network or server error. Try again later. The mapper function returned a null value"
I'm getting this error when I open good lock. Apparently it's not supposed to be use in Argentina. I'll try Nova launcher now.
