Cool
If you didn't know how OLED works it might be cool.
But IMHO it is totally useless, why would I want to distort colors for some battery time?
I am sorry i really have the say the screen looks like your phone is going back to factory.
I do not want a AMOLED LED screen look like damaged nokia phone.
Anyway, still thanks for sharing
Maybe this app is useless but screen looks cool when you enable this and you can trick your friends that they broken your phone
The red filter could be useful at night, for preserving night vision as the author mentioned.

First I think some parts of the device won't be usable since graphics might not have any red in it.
Secondly, since when did anyone care about night vision combined with the use of a phone?
Maybe using it as a GPS, but most programs has a night mode anyways.
why all the negative comments.
android is all about options. if you forget your charger and need limited usage of the screen I could see where it would be useful.

Would it not be more useful to make everything dark instead?
Also, I would like to point out:
Even though some comments may be negative that is the whole thing about a discussion forum. People disagree and vent their opinions.
I look at the usability of what presented and thus venting my thougts on that, for instance this post and can see none.
I also already knew that red needs less electricity than blue OLEDs. That is true for LEDs as well I believe, or anything emitting light, since blue light carries more energy than red.
This could definitely be useful when you're desperate for battery but need to use your phone... ie you need to find a place and you're running out of battery.... It might not be revolucionary but it's nice to have the option to save some battery when you really need to...
@aeo087 - You are right. Could use this in case of emergency situation. Specially if u are away from charger or a usb port of pc and wants more juice from battery for like listening to FM or music.
I think this is excellent work.
At the very least it suggests using a simpler theme could have a big difference on battery life. I dont have a Galaxy S yet but when I do I will definitely be experimenting with this. Im hoping I could also use this OpenGL filter to have a low power mode, as suggested by dseo80, for use when you know your going to be away from a charger.
This would be awesome as low battery mode

Hello guys. As promised, im releasing a closed beta of Killswitch on XDA. Its a utility designed for tablet devices that will give you a more intuitive user experience by sending the device to sleep when certain sensor conditions have been met.
In effect it means that you can put your device into standby by shutting the case or turning the device over if youre already in a dark room.
For more details, check out the thread HERE.
The app thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988126
We accept anyone, but reserve the right to choose based on post count, join date and general XDA experience.
Posted in Galaxy Tab forums because this is where we come from
Bump - we need more testers!
Count me in. This is a great initiative. I have a Galaxy Tab with a Zenus flip portfolio style case.
Please by definition of 'xda-pro' user I hope you are not measuring this based on the amount of spam they spread in these forums, as this could potentially exclude your best testers. It's constructive feedback your after, not persistent noise or complaining, right?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk
No we are not... but we will be looking through peoples post history because of recent security issues with XDA betas. Its not enough, but we need testers.
In any case, we have tested it on the tab extensively in the last couple of weeks (we have 4 at the office), and there are almost no issues.
Hi. I'd also be happy to test something like this. I have many different cases: one of the ones that covers just the back and sides (so no trigger there), a cheap red leather book type, a white plastic one that forms a shell or a stand, the Samsung leather easel with D30 and the Otterbox Defender.
Thanks for the beta. Here's my feedback. Worked very well. Especially, my screen timeout being 10 minutes (because of e-reader) it seemed like a useful app. Also, it always gives the option of locking or not locking, which is useful. Now, the bad part. Noticed that my tab was unusually warm, battery was draining fast, checked consumption: 13%. Uninstalled. Hope you can fix this.
Hi everyone! A big thanks to all the beta testers! Just to let you know that the app will be avaliable in the android market from around 4PM GMT today.
n2s2k2india - regarding your power consumption issue, we have not experienced this on any of our devices. In fact, Killswitch does not even register on both my Xoom and Galaxy Tab. Looking at the spare parts battery use on both devices its 0.1 to 0.15 of total battery consumption...
by the way, the app is now on the market
Well done on getting this app released. Promise I'm not sour grapes for not being chosen as a beta tester! I've just installed from the market and unfortunately, it's not looking too good so far. So far, I have the following issue.
Both light and proximity sensor is flakey. Light sensor has worked once and not again. Can't get proximity to register. Accelerometer works though.
And just a question, is this app supposed to disable screen shutoff due to inactivity?
I'm using Roto JMIv2 if that helps.

Hello!
Im sorry youre having trouble with Killswich... lets see if we can do something about that!
Please update to the latest version if you havent already.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab does not have a proximity sensor (although the system reports it, this is just a glitch from the Galaxy S phones). This means you should be using the light sensor and the accelerometer. Your settings for the Tab should something be like this:
Enable Killswitch: tick
Admin Permissions: tick
Confirmation time: 10sec
Activation delay: 6sec
No-lock: Disable screen lock
Use proximity: no tick
Use light sensor: tick
Sensitivity: 10%
Use accelerometer: no tick
These are the settings Im using right now and they work perfectly.
The point of the app is also to avoid accidental sleep mode in a dark room through the popup dialog. Do not choose "Use accelerometer" unless you plan on using both light sensor and facedown at the same time. Instead, choose "Enable facedown mode only" if you see the popup dialog while using the tab in a dark room - this will disable the light sensor but enable facedown until you next swich on/ off.
Please dont hesitate to write again, or provide a logcat if the light sensor continues to malfunction.
I recommend to disable light sensor usage in killswitch, if your device provides proximity sensor, for better results.
Could we have a add supported version for free as well. If you need more testing i would be happy to test it on my wildfire
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Hello everyone! Could those using the app on their Tabs provide us some feedback regarding its compatibility with roms that are floating about?
Also, Im sorry but we will not be providing an ad-supported version. For one thing, there is nowhere to put the ads without wrecking the general aesthetic, and for another ad support is not economically viable. Android programmers have obscene salaries
Its only $1.99 - if you own an android device you can most certainly afford it.

I just purchased and installed the app on my Sprint Tab with similar results. Accelerometer works great but the light sensor doesn't register. I have adjusted the sensitivity from 10% -> 0% -> 100% with no affect. I even thought that maybe I needed to have the brightness set to auto but that too did not work.
When I tried to move over into direct light (12 inches from a bulb) the sensor worked right away at 10%. As I walked back over to my desk in a dim corner, the device went to sleep again. Once in the dim corner, the sensor could not differentiate between dim and closed case. I'm using the official Samsung case FYI.
I don't know if this helps you any but thought I would post my experiences. For the price I love the app if nothing more than for the Accelerometer and No Lock features. Keep up the good work!
Hi. Please read the help and tips section carefully. Killswitch is not a solution, its a hack. If you want it to work well, you have to understand how it works. Sprint tabs are exactly the same as any euro model, and we have had nothing but positive reviews from everyone with galaxy tabs in europe.
I made this app for myself. I have a gsm tab running overcome and everything works flawlessly.
+1 on the lightsensor problem, working one out of ten times i close the lid....

that's not true is it? i beta tested this app and i couldn't get the light sensor to work either with stock roms or modded one's and I wasn't the only one.
it was very hit and miss and per the feedback provided with logs!
Seems to me the light sensor method just isnt enough on the tab all credit for other devices, but the tab just doesn't work correctly with it.
Never mind, looks like my gt has problems with the light sensor...... I'm using richardtrips kernel with the sensor fix but......

Im not sure where these problems youre having stem from. We have 3 tabs at the office, two stock and one overcome, and they all work flawlessly!

So I assume you have i9500 version with no good custom roms.
Without customs roms you cant do much.

In android , we have numerous background processes which obviously drains the battery. If you can reduce these processes then u would have a better battery backup. Background processes of iOS n Android are completely different so dont compare it. Rooting is the best way to gain control of your device.

Hi Smith,
Thanks for the suggestion, however, I wouldn't recommend that option when you have to do Opening , change battery and closing the back cover on a daily basis, that doesn't look good isn't it? fine, the other option, adding a double capacity battery, aaaah., Considering the shame that brings for you , when someone says, what the heck you're doing with this soap box ( that much bulky it is) , you would rather wish let the phone be switched off better. ,
Okey fine, I have done a work around , which is not perfect as iOS, but some what near.
What I did was, thanks to the kitkat update, which allows you to turn off all most all of the services (including google services) and all the samsung service (most of them), I have turned off all the Samsung service, which I felt not needed (may be S planner and S memo , may used, keep those), and turned off all the unwanted google services, ( games,newstand, play music) ... I did turn off, so anytime it can be turned off, so that fine.
Now, the result! Initial analysis found to be good, I am now getting 10+ hrs, where as before it was 6hrs, (That too on Wifi/3G, without turning off the extra features, air view and other smart features)
No Crashing, No Lag, and about all the main thing I wanted, it drains a very little when it sleeps, almost like iOS now ( yes, iOS drains almost nothing during sleep ) .
100 to 96% after 8hrs during sleep, its good I would say.
Still I could do nothing about SAMOLED Screen and Voice call, which found to be the main battery eater.
Let's see if something new comes to save in Android 4.5 /or 5, which ever the upcoming version is.
Cheers,
KiK
Just thought I’d put a short guide together on what I think are some things to do to get the most out of your spanking new LG G3 when you get it or you already have it. Most of you guys might already know most of this or might not. Just thought it might help some people. This ain’t rocket science but every little bit helps!
Battery:
This is the hardest thing to do because like a fingerprint everyone has a different set up with apps and how they use their phone (wifi vs 3g vs 4g etc) that screen on time will always vary. Also you don’t want to turn everything off and cripple your brand new smartphone just for your battery. There’s a balance.
However here are some general things to do that do help:
1. Install Greenify from the Playstore. I have found this is the number one way to stop drainage. This app will hibernate apps when not in use. It doesn’t stop their functionality at all but hibernates them.
2. Don’t use Google Now. I think it’s a gimmick and does bugger all for me however if you use it it will drain your battery big time. Of course if you love it then use it!
3. Don’t use location services. Another big drainer. Just use it when you need it. However if you have apps that need it then of course leave it on!
4. Use ‘auto’ on screen brightness. Mine is on ‘auto’ but at 100% and the brightness is perfectly ok for me.
5. If you continue to get big drainage then download Betterbatterystats from the Playstore and look at the ‘wakelocks’ – this way you will be able to see what’s draining your battery. As a general rule your phone should go into deep sleep for at least 80% of the time.
With this phone I am getting around 5 to 5.5 hours Screen on Time. You should be getting around that too.
Performance:
Here are a few things only that really do help with speed and performance:
1. The whole thermal throttling thing is a pain i.e. LG’s decision to turn down brightness when it gets hot. However there is something you can do and which I have now done for two weeks with no adverse problems. Turn it off! Put this in the phone app: 3845#*400# and then scroll down to 'high temperature property' and switch to enable and do the same for 'thermal daemon mitigation'. Please note my model is ‘400’ so this will work in the number sequence above. For models with other numbers I am pretty sure you just substitute and put that number in e.g. 855.
2. Go to Dev Options and change the transition animation scale, the animator duration scale and the window animation scale to 0.5. This little thing speeds up your phone like nothing else.
3. Root your phone with towelroot. One click root! And then start debloating. Get rid of whatever you want by downloading Titanium Backup and going into each app and freezing whatever you want. Freezing is safer than uninstalling but does the same thing. Debloating is a must!
4. So once rooted then start using xPosed modules by downloading and installing the xPosed framework and then rebooting.
These are my personal Top 3:
a. Download the brilliant xPosed module ‘TweaksBox’ by P_Toti located at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792242
And donate something to him! This allows you to change so much with this phone. I dunno where to start. It is superb.
b. I dislike the LG skin so immediately download the Google launcher – to me it is the fastest launcher out there beating Nova and Apex. This launcher cannot be customised however there is a fantastic xPosed module that allows you to customise everything - Xposed Gel settings located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-xposed-gel-settings-t2647275
And donate to him too!
c. How good would it be to extend your nav bar seamlessly if you slide your finger! Well you can – download Xtended nav bar here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-xtended-navbar-t2787228
And donate to him too!
I can’t think of anything else but these things definitely help.
And get ready for your G3 – it is super duper great!
lol donate this donate that, you sounded like their marketing... nice tips though, I'd like to ask between betterbattery stats and gsam battery monitor, which one better?
will towelroot work on the d855 version?
also what is the difference between greenify's hibernating with titanium backup's freezing?

Ha yes someone's got to donate! They do so much and get so little.
Yes the only reason I said bbs is because I'm used to it. Gsam does the same thing essentially.
Yes from what I read towelroot should work.
Greenify hibernates an app in the background if you are not using it whilst freezing apps effectively uninstalls them without the pain of then being actually uninstalled. And you can unfreeze them any time.
okay, again thanks for creating this thread, btw how do we take screenshots from g3?

Yes I've debloated some but just the safe ones. There's heaps there though.
How are you finding yours? I'm loving mine but just hoping more developers get on board. Tell your developer mates please!
Is there any danger turning off the thermal thingy. Could the phone completely overheat?
I'll just confirm for anyone wondering that indeed the turning off the thermal throttling does work by changing the device model number to "855" on the UK version
No adverse effects in last half hour or so and have been trying to run demanding tasks to see how it go's
You can uninstall all of the bloat without any issues. It also helps with your battery life. I usual get 4 hours of screen time post charge. That's more than most people can get on a stock kernel, and it's great for a 2k display.

No torch/flashlight app preinstalled, you will have to install one. Also no task manager that I can see.
What is the best torch app you recommend?
Also task manager? Doesn't the android multitasking app work finely for that?
I am using"flashlight hd led" which seems fine.
Yes android does, I just liked the task manager on the G2, not sure why they didn't keep it.
For those who are uninitiated, Package disabler pro is an app on the app store that lets you disable programs on your android device without rooting. You can get gains in battery life and performance by disabling bloat using this program.
So far I'm taking a very light approach.

If you import the list you can build off of that. If the app isn't there it cancels out. All the basic apps are there. I use the same apps as lollipop. So the list is almost identical. From my note 5.

Correct. You have to tweak it. Once you import it you can go through and uncheck whatever you use. Everyone uses different apps.

OP, I'm disabling apps manually to get it where I want... I'll upload screenshots of it when I'm finished. Look for an update late tonight or tomorrow. We can tinker from there until it's perfect for use.
I believe the EDGE doesn't use CIQ anymore, but doesn't mean they are not using something else which they probably do as the setup process asks for "anonymous data collecting" for network management or something like that.
Here is my list. I copied my list from my Note 5 which I started with the XML file that was posted in the linked thread already. I have been having no issues and after getting the phone on Tuesday it has settled down today and I am at 76% battery left with 8 hours off the charger and 1 hour of screen on time (busy day at work today so far).
Here's mine
Why not just go into settings, apps, and disable from there?

Because with Package Disabler you can literally disable any system package.
Here's my list after looking at the couple posted here and adding in my things too. I use Hangouts and pretty much all of the Google stuff (Gmail is blocked because I use Inbox).
Sorry there are so many, you can't scroll screenshot on the S7 Edge

Curious to find out if after disabling these apps and processes you still show Android System as your biggest battery drainer. Keep us poster, please.

Will do. I'm not sure that it will change that from being the biggest battery "drainer" though... My battery was pretty good already. I know we see that on top and automatically think it's a big drain, but I think it's just that way because nothing else uses much battery.
We shall see though!

That's probably the case. Nonetheless, we see folks on the Exynos variant whose battery stats show significantly less drain from Android System as an overall percentage of battery use over a given charge cycle. Could it be a difference in processor efficiencies, or a TMobile specific "issue?" I have no clue but it's helpful to gather as much information as possible.

Could be the difference in chips. Battery has been great for me as well despite Android System being the biggest "battery hog". Indeed it must be due to the fact that nothing else is consuming much percentage of the battery and if that's the case then it makes sense why Android System would have the highest percentage in battery usage.
I know on my note5 there was something I was disabling that was killing Wi-Fi calling. The packages you are disabling does Wi-Fi calling still work?
