HI,
I'm very sorry for that lame question but could anyone explain to me how to get to blackstone build in keylock/screenlock settings ? please..
I looked in user manual and I've done my research but looks like I can't find anything.
regards,
looks like no one is sure about it or there is no such a options.,
For those who use s2u2 and are annoyed about double screen lock when you take the pen out of the hd and system lock turns on, try to instead of putting back stylus in when screen is on ,turn it off and then put stylus back, turn screen on and there you go.. untill you take stylus out again there will be no double lock. You just have to remember to put it back when the screen is off and it will work great.
hope that helps.
Hey everyone,
I really hope I'm not the only one out of the loop about this (and I doubt I am cause I spend way too much time on xda...lol). I use my HD2 with a headset quite alot (almost always actually), so the proximity sensor is not of great use. Since when I'm on my headset (wired), and have the phone facing up, the screen is turned on, and I have to put something on the proximity sensor to cover it up in order to turn the screen off and stop draining the battery.
But here's the crazy part I found out today....and I can't believe it took this long:
Do a two finger (multitouch) on the call status screen (the regular screen while on a call) and it will TURN THE SCREEN OFF!
The screen will turn back on if you move the phone (but it turns it on via the proximity sensor and not the gsensor....at least that's my thinking at the moment). I'd play around with this more, but I have mad finals coming so I just wanted to post this for everyone.
So...go out and give it a try!
PS. I have the USTmo version (just in case it has a different dialer/call status then Euro version, but I'm guessing this will work on both).
OMG. this TOTALLY WORKs! I just called my voicemail and tested it out! IT works like a charm! THANKS SO MUCH.
are there any more little tricks like this out there? WOW I want to know more about y device!
That is an excellent discovery...thanks!
Great find!!!
Doesn't work on my ROM.
genius, good find
It works
Just tested it and it works
Great find man!! Thanks
I can't believe my eyes it works! thanx
can ppl pls post which rom theyre using, so we can have a overview where this great find works. Thank you!
I'm using the 1.66 WWE ROM in the UK and it's not working.
i can't believe it, it works on stock tmo rom
works on energy. thanks!
Can someone post a video how to do this, please? I am using 1.72 rom with O2 and have no idea how to do that.
Cheers
at my 1.72 ROM it does NOT work.
tapped with 2 fingers on the screen while calling the Voicemail but nothing happens.
hopefully someone will fix this .. very annoying that the standby and the disconnect function is at the same button
looks like its a v2 rom feature.
it actually works!
wow....great find! i always had to put my finger over the light sensor. not anymore
Also works on my T-Mo GREAT find...Tj
Sweeeeeet!
Was excited but gonna stick with my current method
I tried this with high hopes but the fact that it turns right back on if you move the phone is no good for me while on the go, but is great for when my phone is just sitting on top of my desk or a table.
What I have been doing, and what others might want to try, takes a few steps but does work. I installed a little app called DisplayOff which turns off the display with one tap and will stay off until any hardware button is pressed once. I used Resco Explorer to create a shortcut for the app which is just an exe that doesn't need to be installed, just placed somewhere on your device and clicked on to activate. So when I'm in a call on bluetooth as I almost always am, I have to tap the home key so that I can then tap the DisplayOff icon which is a Sense Quick Link.
After thinking about this more, I just realized that using AE Button Plus, I could map DisplayOff to activate with say 3 taps of a hardware button instead of my current method..........
I know this since the day tmobile usa hd2 came out, nothing special about this as method, you can also blank the screen by placing your finger or object on top of the sensor next left to the speaker.
Hi all,
I'm wondering if there's any alternative ways to put the Nexus 7 (or any Android device I guess) to sleep/wake it up. I'm thinking something along the lines of an app that forces the touch screen to stay active but turns the display off so you can use touch input to activate wake/sleep.
Might be a bit of a stupid question. The reason I ask is because my N7 is mounted in my car and the power button isn't easily accessible.
Cheers for any tips..

Not sure if this helps but I have a case that I bought for my N7 and when I open it and close it the screen turns on and off.

Thanks for that but nah, it's mounted in my car dash so a case won't fit..
But that give me an idea.. does sliding a magnet across a specific point on the screen turn it on/off? That's the idea with the smart cases right?

Yes,
The magnet is somewhere to the bottom left of the device (i would say to about a quarter from bottom up and on the black contour) . If you can add an sliding magnet (make sure is weak) then you can lock/unlock screen.
Nfc tags dude i wonder if they would work

I know some kernels can enable touch wake. I imagine it can incorporated soon. On my Galaxy Nexus, there's an app I downloaded that allowed a specific screen swipe to wake the screen.

That would be awesome. Do you remember the name of the app?
Gesture Control?

Hey man. I used to have an awesome app on my very first Android tab years ago. It would turn the screen completely black (via home screen or notification icon) without actually putting it to sleep. Because it wasn't really asleep, a double tab would turn the screen back on. I CANNOT FIND IT FOR THE LIFE OF ME! Anyway, after reading your question, I searched for an hour, because I could use something like this for my setup in my car.
So, I found something that turns the screen both on and off, and actually works on my N7. Search for Proximity Screen Off. I installed the free lite version, and it works. I found out the screen won't turn on though, unless you disable your lock screen. Play with the settings to your liking.
Oh, and since we don't have prox sensors, you can use your ambient light sensor. Good luck, lmk if it works for ya.

It's called PGM Nexus. I almost don't want to give up my Galaxy Nexus (but I sadly still plan to) just because of this one app alone...it is so godawful nice to be able to swipe, or simply double tap the screen to fire up the screen. Unfortunately this app apparently requires some deep voodoo to work as its kernel related, and applies strictly to the Galaxy Nexus. I know a bunch of people have already started bugging the developer to make a version for the Nexus 7, I'd suggest piling on. :fingers-crossed:
It's apps like these that make you realize how superior the Nexus devices are at getting really good customized software over other devices.
I do wish there were some other options for the Nexus 7, like using the front camera as a proximity sensor of sorts to detect a handwave, or simply shaking the tablet.

Thanks for that! Appreciate it. I'll give it a try when I get home after work and report back.

Could you please post the settings you are using? Specifically the light sensor settings. I am having trouble getting this to work properly. Thanks!

Hello. I'm not sure if it helps you, but for turning off screen I use Nova Launcer (alternatively you could use Apex Launcher - as far as I remember, it has gestures in its free version) with Screen Off app by Katecca. I've set Nova Launcher to react to swiping up screen by executing Screen Off app. So I have to turn on screen by pressing button, but to turn off I just swipe up screen.
Best regards,
Artur

Hi there. I have a Galaxy s4 (i9505 model). Does nowbody eles noticed that the air gesture sensor that is a infra red sensor is always on? That can be senn only by looking at it trough a nather camera. There ara some exemples that i noticed on youtube. (cant post them becose im new )
It is anoyng to know that this sensor it's eating battery and it's in my eyes all the time. Cann enebody thell me how to disabele it. (It's off in settings, bat as i have senn in a youtube video it's powered on eavean at the begining of using a phone after unboxing)
Thanks!
Maybe that's how it is supposed to work?
I can't check to see to see mine is the same. I don't have any camera to check. I'm running a GPE rom, which has none of those samsung touchwiz features.
It's like this on many s4 models. I'v seen it on youtube and in real life too. Today i have cheked a s4 model in a store,the little sensor is on all the time the screen it's on (air gesture off in settings). But on S5 and Note3 (i have friends and i have checked) it's activated only when the air gesture setting it's on and eaven then not all the time, the little sensor glows only when an app it's compatible with the air gesture (ex gallery, browser) ant the little hand simbol it's on the notification bar. So i think it's a bug, and if you ask me a big bug to be on all the time (when screen it's on). Somehowe it's writen in the OS, i only whish to know if it can be deactivated for good.

Don't forget that the sensor might be used by other functions. Smart stay or smart scrolling maybe.

All features ar off in settings, still the little sensor is powered on all the time. Not sutch a big deal after all. Only thing i have found to say sow wrong on the dievice .
PS. Still....cant bealive that so many skilled people around here dont know about this and dont care about this . Not to say dont know how to turn it off, becose it's not normal since on S5 and Note3 the behavior of the sesnor it's totaly diferent and logical a sansor always on (eaven whenn all seting thell hin to be off) it's only eating pointless battery.
Back again with another bug.
Ok, so to use the flashlight gesture you have to light up the screen using the power button. Fine. But I have to shake it really violently to get it to react and turn on. It's actually quicker to unlock the screen using the fingerprint sensor and then use the drop-down shortcuts.
Can someone tell me if they have the same issue? Beginning to think I have a lemon and might be better off getting a replacement while I can.
Thanks in advance.

My flashlight gesture is almost identical to the moto x flashlight gesture (chop chop). Work great, just wish the screen didn't need to be on.
Edit: scratch that, it's a lot worse since updating to B27. Will add this to my big bug list. Thank you!
Same issue here since the update. I shake it big time and it won't even turn on.
