Edit: i just saw that you are right. When the note is in cardock, the screen freezes when getting a call...
Out of the cardock and still in landscape mode (via apex launcher), the screen automatically turns to vertical mode (which is prevented in the dock).
So its definatly a problem with ICS. It seems it doesnt have a landscape callscreen! Hope they already know and fix that bug!

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?

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

Hallo Together,
I like the HDMI output to my TV from my Nexus 10. However, I would like to switch off the Nexus 10 screen while looking at the TV. Is this possible? Perhaps with an app?
When I currently switch off the screen with the power button, the TV screen gets black, too.
Best regards
Dirk
Screen Standby(root required) on the play store may work.

I can confirm screen standby works great... It has tons of options like auto screen off/on when hdmi is detected
AW: [Q] HDMI out with Nexus Screen off?
Thank you! I will try it in the evening. Yesterday I had no time. The first look in the play store is promising!

I had the same issue in my nexus. I removed the battery once and turned it back ON. Restarted my device then and it worked fine and no more issue with the app.
im using the app now too and its perfect, even switches itself on when i play a video on hulu with the hdmi connected!!!
Hey guys, here's my question.
My wife and I both have the s4. I'm on mf9 rooted, she's on stock unrooted mdl. My phone has always screen waked when I'm on a phone call and pull it away from my face during the call. My wife's does not. I have to manually wake it up once by pressing power. Then anytime after that during the same phone call it will auto wake like I want it to when I pull it away. After I hang up it starts the whole process all over again.
Any suggestions? It looks like all the settings are the same on both phones.
Do you have the "Turn off screen during calls" option checked? To get there, open the Phone app, go into the Keypad tab, click the menu button, and check to see if that option is checked. With it checked, the screen should turn on when you pull your face away from the phone during a phone call.
A screen protector can effect this if it is covering a sensor up above. But this feature can be turned on and off go into the Motion and Gestures under settings and make sure its on.

You might have a faulty proximity sensor on that phone. I had the same problem and it had to be sent to Samsung to be replaced/fixed.

If the option is not turned on, then when he places the phone against his face. The screen would stay on. Right now his problem is the screen is turning off when it's placed on his ear, but will not turn back on when it's taken away unless he pushes the power to turn it back on. I had the same exact thing and it was a faulty proximity sensor that had to be replaced.
Hi guys,
Is there really no way to turn off the phone screen when using smart view? I've been searching and there doesn't seem to be any threads in regards to the issue, so hopefully I'm just being stupid.
Surely such an obvious feature can't be missing?
Thanks

you need to install smart view app and configure in settings
With the latest android update, while connected to my tv with smart view (Note 8), my phone screen turns off after a few seconds. How can I set this so that it stays on? (I use it for exercise and sometimes want it on tv and sometimes on my phone. I don't want my phone screen to turn off.)
I've a note8 and I want my screen to be off.. somehow even after the update, my screen is still on. Can anyone point me to the right direction on where is the setting for this? Thanks

That is exactly what I also need - Connected with Smart View my Tab S3 Screen should stay ON - can't figure out how to do that. Is there a way?
Screen locks ...goes dim
Launch the app you want to screen cast then swipe down or up on ur screen...the app you are having trouble with is associated with a game booster .
Click on advanced settings of game booster/ launcher and disable "auto screen lock"
Hi, was wondering if anyone had further answers on this. Particularly the screen going off after few minutes whilst using smart view?. I have tab s3 and it does this whilst using zwift, it does not appear to be linked to a game booster or launcher (or j can't find that setting).
The screen doest lock i just need to swipe it to revive it, but i wish it could stay on so i can use both screens ?
Thanks all
Solved
Its seems there is nothing you can do when smart screen is activated. Even the 'screen always on' apps that are out there are ignored while smart screen is active. Also the alwzys on in developer options is ignored.
However i found a solution with an app called Macrodroid. Create a macro to be trigged when smart screen is running , adding always on screen as the action and its working fine :good::good:
I think this would also work in reverse for those of you who are having problem wiyh screen not dimming or going standby

This did not work for me. The Macrodroid isn't even recognizing Smart View being opened.
