I have tried Locale, I am currently using Settings Profile.
Neither app appears to do this, but I would like to be able to add a condition to turn the screen off when I set it flat. Seems simple enough?
Or could I adjust the default screen time out to be 1 second? (Android won't let me set anything lower than 15 seconds)
Basically I want my screen timeout to be never so its always on when I am using the phone and when I set down the phone it turns the screen off..
Screebl, it uses orientation. I've never tried the minimal setting yet. You have to set the oreantaion limits first

Thank you for the recommendation. I tried the "Minimum setting" and it times out after about 6 seconds of laying the phone flat. I would be ideal for it to be 1 second, but this will do
Do you notice any negative battery issues with this running all the time?
Tasker.
Profile
State, sensor, orientation, face up.
Task
Display, system lock.
Just tried it and seems to work pretty well. Times out in under a second.
When you do the system lock it tells you to enable Tasker administrative feature or whatever so make sure you do that when it tells you. Also, I tried at first to just change the timeout based on orientation with Tasker but it said the minimum must be at least 7 seconds. You could probably set another profile to change the timeout to longer when if default options in settings aren't enough since you said you want timeout to be eternity unless face up.
Good luck.

Does the system lock turn the screen off or just locks the phone?

It turns the screen off. It's like hitting the power button.

Yeah that isn't gonna fly. I have tasker automating a night mode. I guess its a feature the tasked devs will need to add in. Right now I just a it it face down on my nightstand. Not a huge deal to leave it facedown.

Maybe you could at least make it one touch off and one touch on by using a NFC tag and NFC Task Launcher and Tasker...maybe
I figured out how to do it using tasker, but you need root. I also need to do some more testing, but this should work in most cases.
Some background: when a notification comes in, the system sets the file led_pattern in /sys/devices/virtual/sec/led to something non-zero. 3 is a slow blinking blue light, 1 is solid red, I forget what the others are now. When the screen is turned on, this is reset to zero, and when the screen is turned off, if the notification bar hasn't been opened (and the program with the notification hasn't been opened) the value is reset to something non-zero. So, I created a simple task to change the value back to zero:
Create a new task, then select Script>Shell. Enter the following command:
echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/sec/led/led_pattern
Check the 'Use Root' box
Then your task is done. I'd try it once to make sure you have accepted whatever superuser popups (you'll need to always allow this for it to work on its own).
Now create a profile, and for the context select Event>UI>Notification. You may need to check tasker on the accessibility menu if you haven't already (it will prompt you if necessary). Add whatever other contexts you want (I have a variable that's set when I turn on my nighttime menu that I check for so the light will blink during the day but not at night). If you don't add other contexts this will always block your light, so make sure you've done some check to block it only at night.
Disclaimer: I haven't extensively tested this. There are a few quirks I've found so far:
1) If you receive a google voice text, the light instantly turns purplish normally. On my phone it will come on for a split second before tasker can kill it.
2) If you receive a notification which is blocked with this profile/task, and then turn on the screen but don't do anything to clear the notification the light will turn on when the screen is turned off again. This is also true if the notification comes in when you have the screen on and you turn it off before clearing it. You might be able to fix this by adding some variables to the profile/checking for screen on/off, but I mostly just want it to automatically turn off the light when I'm asleep so I'm happy with this so far.
3) I haven't tested this overnight, I guess it's possible that the phone will run a check and turn the notification back on at some point. I'll test it tonight and see if anything weird come up.
4) I've only tested this blocking gmail and google voice. It's possible that some other notification would toggle one of the other led variables and this won't help.
If you have any issues with this please let me know and I'll see what I can figure out. If this has helped you please click thanks; I'm new here and could use some street cred.
EDIT: You can solve problem 2 by creating a new Profile with context State>Display>Display State set to Off, and adding in the other secondary (ie night time) contexts. Call the same task you called for the first profile.
EDIT: Oops, forgot to mention, this is on a Verizon Galaxy S3, I assume it's the same for the other carriers, but I have no way of testing it.
So a few weeks ago, my phone decided to go for a swim.
I managed to dry it out, and it works as well as it ever has, but for one casualty.
My proximity sensor is shot. It reads 0 all the time, that mean when I'm in a call, it instantly turns off the screen, leaving me un able to use the keypad, or to even end the call.
I came across this in my searches,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626611
Saying that there is a line I can amend to the end of my build.prop that looks like such:
gsm.proximity.enable=false
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now the original thread was for The HTC Desire S for AT&T, and seeing how it references GSM, I assume it's not just a Ctrl-c, Ctrl-v kind of job.
So what would be the correct conjugation of this line for the photon?
I'm getting closer

Since I'm running CM7, all I had to do is look here

Now when it means longer than nomal then it will still time out right?
Surely there's a way to have it be set for an indefinate amount.
Even with the option checked to set the power button to end the call, I still can't end calls with the power button.
Any thoughts will be really helpful, kinda takes away from the whole phone thing, if it's a pain in the ass to make a call, I'm tied having to make a battery pull just to hang up.
So above has not helped.
I have heard about an app called screebl that is supposed to lock the screeen on on boot, but that hasn't helped either.
Still having trouble with this, which is annoying as hell since I have to often dial exertions for work, but I can't since I can't pull up the key pad after placing a call
This time I'm really not trying to bump the thread up, I promise.
So using elixir, I can show you that both the proximity sensor and light sensor are both completely unresponsive, I took this screen shot with a flashlight directly in the light/proximity sensor area.
With the proximity sensor constantly reading 3cm, my phone believes it is up to my face constantly.
I'm at my wits end, the option in accessibility to have the power button end the call isn't working either. So calls on my /phone/ are seven times the hassle than it needs to be.

The only way I have kept this from tearing my hair out is flashing Peetr's Hybrid v20, instead of Cybik's CM7.2
Now at least the power button actually ends the call again.
This isn't a fix though, it's a stop-gap. I'm trying to keep as detailed records as I can so if google throws some unfortunate soul here, there will be someone who at least tried to walk this path. Wish someone would say something, even if it was "Stop bumping this thread"
I FIXED IT.
In peetr's hybrids build.prop there's a line
ro.mot.proximity.touch=1

Setting that to 0 disabled the proximity sensor.
Hopefully no one else has to go through the headaches that I have done. But there it is.

When I turn on power save mode, I notice that it reduces both screen refresh rate, and brightness too.
Is there any way to allow reduced screen refresh rate, but NOT reducing brightness. Is this even possible?
Reason being that the screen is kinda too dim even in wee bit darker than normal light conditions. Right now I am toggling between auto and manual brightness based on where I am.

Refresh rate? How can you tell that it does that?
It says that in the info about the power saving mode.

XDA is somewhat down right now. I've been trying to reply to you, but it keeps hanging. All power saving mode does is lower the CPU clock frequency. The refresh rate is never changed. The frame rate is, however. If you're rooted, you can reduce the CPU clock yourself with a number of apps on the play store.
That's strange. Check the attached screenshot. It says it reduces frame rate.
What I finally ended up doing is install YAAB for brightness control (includes night mode too). This disabled the auto brightness n things worked out well.
Thank you very much for trying to reply. The very thought is appreciated a lot.

Hi, got HAM2. Very impressed. Wish it had Qi, but aside really good.
Q: How do I turn off power button instant lock?
Android always has this option, but for some reason I can't find it in settings!
In my MT2-L05 EMUI3.0 it's in Settings/Security/Power button instantly locks.

No matter the option I choose it still locks immediately after hitting the power button. This option is only if the phone goes to sleep itself after 30 seconds or whatever you have your sleep set to.. I'm looking for a work around for the power button. xposed forms here we go!.. any help from anyone would be helpful

My HAM2 doesn't have this problem. I have the Delayed Lock app from the play store which modifies the locking though. I've also frozen the hwunlock lock screen since it was interfering.

Happy to hear. Also if you want to clean up the notification, the Delayed Lock app can still run if you hide it's notification (long press on it then uncheck show notifications), it still works fine and the Notification bar is clean. Mine is set to auto lock after about 20 mins from when I turn off my screen and I also created a shortcut on my home screen to instantly lock it and turn off the screen (have to set wake to lock mode in the settings of the app). If you want to a shortcut like that you can do this in Nova Launcher (or something similar in other launchers). Long press and empty space on the homescreen. Choose shortcuts then delayed lock shortcuts then Lock now (which also turns off the screen).

Hi,
I got this watch used, arrived two days ago. I like it so far. Only tweaks done so far is unlock BL.
I want to preserve the battery life as much as possible though, while keeping it usable. So I think there is efficiency to be made by having the watch face stay as a silhouette instead of "waking up" whenever I look at it. To activate the watch, I have no problem with tapping it once or twice.
Does such a tweak exist? I could not find it in settings (only to turn screen off completely when inactive). Any prerequisites for such a tweak (e.g. root)?
Many thanks.
Are you on 5.1.1 (LCA43)? If yes, you can try disabling wrist gestures in watch settings. Of course, you won't be able to move trough cards as well if you disable it, but it will prevent the screen to leave dim mode when you move your wrist.

I tried that before (am on LCA43), but it seems to just disable the scroll. Just tried again, may have made a difference this time. Though it looks like the screen still activates 1 out of the 5 times I put the watch to my face. We shall see. Thanks!
You're correct, my bad! The setting you want is in the Android Wear app: Tilt to wake screen. You may want to keep wrist gestures on.

Found it! The guide I found had the setting on the main page. I had to tap on the actual device listing to get to the sub page with all the goodies (Google probably did it that way so you can program different actions for different watches).
Thanks again!
