Smart Screen Off LITE (helps ics screen wake) - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Ok pretty cool app I found, it really helps your battery if you are running any of the ICS roms/kernels. What it does is use your light sensor to see if your screen should be on or not. So if you put your phone face down on your desk, or you put it in your pocket, your screen automatically turns off without you pressing the button, and it stays off until you take it out.

Good idea, but I'd use it in conjunction with Better Battery Stats to see if it will hold a wakelock.. sounds like it might

I am testing this as we speak, only had it for 1/2 hour but when i look in battery stats there is no longer any indication of screen on and awake. Need to look inti the better batt stats app more though.

Not sure where I should be looking, or if 2 hours is a long enough time table to test.

Was it face down or in your pocket the entire two hours? Or did you use it for 16 min?

Used it for 16. I can do a fresh test tonight without using it and post it tomorrow.

I just tested this for 15mins, and CPUspy reports 90% deep sleep. This may be totally valid.

---

What happens if you are in a totally dark room and want to turn it on? I'll give this a try..

Carry a mini flashlight with you and point it at your device.
