I have the app called 'Screen off and lock' which when used makes the screen act like an old tv turning off
Is there a way to link the action to the power button?

I use this as well ,, Don't think it can be done but the idea of the app is so you do not have to use the power button and saves wear and tear on the button so they say
If you have tasker, do what i do.
Set an action where the app "screen off and lock" would be linked with the proximity sensor.
That way, all you have to do is swipe your fingers accross the proximity sensor, and your device's screen should turn off where its visually appealing + you don't have to press the power button anymore. Might be irritating if you were to accidently do it though.
You could set it to run when you turn your device upside down via tasker as well. Tasker is just THAT amazing!
trying it out know.will let u know how it turns out.

I'm coming from Windows Mobile, where the lock screen is much more tame (and usable in my mind). If I'm actively using the phone and turn the screen off and then on again, it's smart enough to not lock it immediately. If I recall, there's even a setting for how long it needs to be off before it locks.
Is there any way to get my Vibrant to behave like this? I hate that I have to swipe my unlock every time I turn off and on again.
Ummmmm.....the only thing I can recall is to set the timeout higher before it turns off?? I think its defaulted at 30 secs but you can set it higher or even turn it off so you manually black out the screen with with the power button.
Dont know if thats what your looking for..
Not really. I usually turn off the screen to look up and talk to someone (for example), and then when I turn it back on, I don't want to have to unlock it.

yea..I dunno.. I don't think you can disable the swype screen
There is an app on the market that you can use to totally disable the lock screen if you want. It's called no lock

Or you can buy widgetlocker from the market. It has a gangload of options and to my knowledge let's you do just that

I did disable lock altogether with Screen Tools 2, but that is not ideal. I couldn't see anything like what I wanted with widgetlocker. It allows a different timeout if the screen is turned on and locked, but that's not what I'm going for.
Anyone else have some help?
Is anyone else noticing the capacitive buttons remaining lit and extremely bright during video playback, games, everything really?
Yes, this issue has been discussed a significant amount of times. Nothing can be done to change it unfortunately. There is a way to turn off the buttons, but they will be off until you turn them back on.
It requires an app from the market. It is called Screen Filter.
There's also an app called LEDs Hack that let's you completely turn off capacitive buttons but guess what, you need root LOL.

I actually really like that feature...
Actually, there is a way to turn those off without root. Search for an app called "screen filter" in the market. You can leave the screen filtering at 100% and turn off the capacitive button backlights.
Any one know how to have the screen not time out in calls? I want the screen to time out and i like setting the power button press to end calls
But with setting combo when the screen times out in a call you can not wake up the screen without killing the call

Download "Screen On" from the Market and put a checkmark on "An Active Call" so it never goes to sleep.

Does "Screen On" affect the Proximity Sensor, or just keep the device from locking?
Not sure. Don't remember it messing with the sensor. I used it a lot while on CM7 with my other phone and it always worked stellar.
All I can say is give it shot and see if it works the way you want. On my phone, if the screen goes dim all I have to do is tap the power button and takes me right back to the "in call" screen.
I have tried to search the forum, but could not find any thread. When I am on a phone call, the display/screen turns off and I am using speaker phone or bluetooth. In the call settings, the turn on proximity sensor is disabled or off.
When I am in a phone call, I want to see the screen turn on to see details and very seldom put the phone to my ear.
Hopefully, somebody can help me resolve my problem.
Thank you..
Maybe changing the screen sleep time to a, max of 10 minutes?

With the sensor turned off, it sounds like its the standard screen timeout kicking in. I use Screen On, which overrides the timer for apps you specify, including an active call.
This bugs me too.
Anyone have a Tasker profile they could share for this?
My screen timeout is set to 10 minutes, since I thought that was the case. But as soon as I am on a call,, between 15-30 seconds, the screen is black and I have to press the power button to bring back the display.
Thanks for the advise and hope somebody can help us..
You could still try Screen On. When you bring up its list of apps, "Active Call" is the very first checkbox. Just make sure you also check the "enable" checkbox at the top-left of the list, too.
Your screen turns off during a call to conserve battery power. You don't reallt need the screen on while the phone is to your ear anyways. The proximity sensor detects this, and turns the screen off. As far as I know, there is no way to turn it off.

Most people use a build prob tweak called
ro.lge.proximity.delay=25
mot.proximity.delay=25
Here's a thread related to the issue,,mine works fine after tweaks,

I used AppAutoSettings to keep my screen on when on a call on my GSII.

Interesting. Sure enough, I tried turning the prox sensor off and enabled "active calls" in Screen On, rebooted, and it still turned off.
hey i am using screen off app to turn off and on my screen as a im afraid that my power button will break after some time and i dont want that....so proximity sensor will break if its continously on ? how can i turn on screen using any other way without rooting?
BTW im using atrix 2
I use the Lock Screen app from Play. Then I assign it to a gesture, such as swipe up, in my launcher (Apex, Nova).
But I still have to use a button to turn the phone on.
