I really want an app to lock proximity sensor on (so screen off during a call) until home button pressed, or something like that. Lately I have been having a lot of calls disconnected or accidentally placed on hold, and I think an app like this would be fantastic.
Anyone know of any?
You dont need an app this is easy to do, while in a call just press home so your on the "desktop" then just press the lock button. The screen now wont turn on regardless of the sensor

cool thanks for the info.. I still think an app that did it automatically would be awesome though!
Anyone found this application? It would be very useful..

Lately, several times, but not every time, when my phone rings the screen stays black while the bottom buttons light. I have to press the power button once to turn off the light completely and again where the screen lights normally and then I can answer the call. Any ideas of solutions to this weird problem?

Sorry, I have no solution nor have I heard of this. But guessing, did you install something like Google Voice, skype, or some other phone app?
Actually, no. It must be an app, tho

Razr has a function that double tap the home button to open an app like dialer,camera etc.Can I double tap it to lock screen and how to do that??
And what stops you from pressing the side button made ESPECIALLY for that function?

Come'on seriously thats kind of a mean answer...
I don't know if that function is available but it would be cool, i would use it.
Homesmack will let you remap the double tap home function. You'll need to find an app that locks the phone, though.

Don't you find it a little uncomfortable to pressing side button all the time?

I'll inform you how to do that when I succeed.
tap tap app
use free app called tap tap app from market..lets u shut down screen wid a tap on widget and awake screen with waving finger over proximity sensor...works for me on artic rom...no battery drain because of the app
I use the Screen Off and Lock app to turn off the screen without fumbling for the power button. For some reason it doesn't work properly on the S3 - it turns off the screen briefly but then the screen turns itself back on.
Does anyone know of a homescreen widget or app which will turn off the S3 screen?
I also install it, on my device its set the screen off, then it came back for a second and then off.

Yes, that's exactly what it's doing on mine now.
Unfortunately, it will only work properly if the lock screen security > none
Tested with Swype, face and pin. Obviously the screen security prevents it from staying off.

How do you set lock screen security-> none? My Security settings only show an option of Swipe for Screen lock

That's exactly how my settings are - the screen still switches itself on again momentarily after tapping then Screen Off and Lock app. I've now tried a couple of the other free "screen off" apps and widgets and they do exactly the same thing, so maybe there's some sort of issue with an API in the S3?

In the menu I posted, select "none", then it will screen off properly. The app (and others) obviously have issue with TW lockscreen with any setting other than "none".

Why not? Read my previous posts.
With lock set to "none", the app works properly, with any type of lock, the screen will flicker from off to lockscreen on.
This proves the app is not totally compatible with SGS3 TW lockscreen.

Hi all...
I have galaxy s2 & em enjoying it...
But from some days the "lockscreen" button started facing some problem.
It doesn't work until it is press harder & harder.
Please tell me IS THERE ANY APP THATS REDUCES THE USE OF LOCKSCREEN BUTTON?
NOTE: I didn't use it much because I have lockscreen software to lock screen and I use my home button to unlock/wakeup my phone.

Judging from the above problem, I can say that there seems to be a hardware issue. There is no app that reduces the effort involved in pushing the lock screen button. It is a long shot but then there may be a possibility that the software you use to lock it without pushing the lock button is the culprit. I may be wrong.
cheers.

You can easily go in to the settings of android and tell the phone not to have a lock screen
It's a hardware problem. Try disassemble your SGS II and see if there's something that causes this problem in your "lock" button, or just live with it...

So with the phone in my pocket and pulling it out I often hit the home or volume keys with the screen off. Is it possible to lock these buttons and make only the power button light up the screen to unlock?
Thanks!
bump i would like this
Theres already a thread on this. The volume buttons dont do anything anyways when the screen is off.

Thanks. The volume buttons will adjust the volume on anything playing with the screen off. Really annoying when I use my phone in the gym and every time I touch the phone I adjust the volume.

Check out the app called persist from the Play Store. There's a free version that'll do everything you need
