Hey guys,
I don't know if this is possible, but I kinda like how with the BlackBerries you can put the phone in your pouch and it will shut off and it will turn on when you pull it out.
Well, what if we used this concept with the Touch Pro. My idea is that when you get a text message, your phone turns on in your holster right? What if we made it so that the phone stayed off (kinda like how when you get an email), but then it enabled the light sensor so that when you pull it out of your holster, the screen turns on. Then, once you're done reading the text message and you throw the phone back into your holster and it shuts the screen off.
Am I just fantasizing too much or is this actually possible? Let me know what you guys think?
you can allready turn it off, q2 how will you read a message @ night?
There is something like that, it uses the Gsensor and Light sensor. It is actually a locking app called Pocket Shield. when its locked and u pull it out of your pocket or holster the light sensor detects the light and turns on the screen and unlocks. http://pocketshield.netserver01.com/

Yeah, but the only way it will unlock it out of the pouch is if the screen is on. Anyway to do it in standby mode? I assume if the screen is on it will drain the battery.

You can try TouchLockPro. This automatically unlocks using the light sensor. Just press the Power button to make the screen on, it will default be locked, till you or the light sensor unlocks it.
I recently bought the AV cables for my tab and i absolutely love it. Only issue so far is the fact that i have to keep the screen on while the video is playing on both the TV and tab. If i turn off the screen then its replicated on my TV. I know with some video players you can adjust the brightness right from the app. But some apps, like the youtube player, dont have this option. Is there an app out there that can dim the screen so the screen almost looks off? Even if video is playing? That would be great. Please let me know if such an app exists. Ill keep searching.
Edit
This was kind of a dumb question because there are plenty of dimmer apps on the market. Basically i want the screen to be black and yet output a signal to my TV. Is this possible?

I have a 8gb nexus 4 and I absolutely love the thing, today my Official from the play store charging orb came in. It works great as a charger but refuses to be a dock.
When I put the device down it makes its little docking noise but daydream does not turn on and the screen goes dark. Daydream is turned on and is set to only enable when docked.
If I enable daydream for just general purpose charging then it kicks on automatically like you would expect. However not when its set to turn on when on a dock.
Also is there anyway to make the phone automatically not vibrate while on the charging orb, it tends to slide off.
Thanks!
The orb is recognised as a charger and not a dock. Thats why it wont work when you set it as dock.
As the topic suggests, curious if there is a way to turn the screen off on my sm-n910c while using mirroring. I am rooted.
Just wondering if there's a way to disable the screen, ideally automatically, when connecting a secondary display to the device?
Or any which way to do so? No real point of having the phone's display remain turned on while using a TV for something like retroarch.
