Hi guys,
I have searched a lot with no success. I am sure I read about an application that can do this a couple of weeks ago but unfortunately I can't find out where I read that !
Basically I want to turn off the screen of my phone without putting it to sleep. So Youtube will continue buffering and a game will continue running.
My phone is GSM Galaxy Nexus running CM 10.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Wait till screen automatically turn off?
Cheers,
Mistev
if you wait till the screen turns off it will stop the game/buffering.
There is an app for this but I can't find it.
Select none in screen lock type. This might work Cuz it ain't locking the screen!

I use my HTC Hero with careful and never drop it. Everything was just fine until 3 days ago, when I texted a message, i noticed that the screen didn't response with my finger. I touch on line on the top of keyboard ( Q-W-E-R-T-Y...) but all it response was Enter, Backspace, Space, Settings...( all the buttons at bottom ) and type automatically when I don't touch the screen anymore ( it just auto-type all the icon at the bottom). And it appear at least 5times each day. When I got this problem, I lock the screen and then unlock the screen, do that for 3-4times and that weird things disappeared.
I tried factory reset over 3 times and re-calibrate many times but it useless. My phone is using Official Rom and haven't rooted yet. Yesterday, i tried to rooted it and installed another Custom Rom to see whether this problem will be solved or not, but it still the same. Does anyone ever have this problem? Please help me.
Here's my video I recorded to let you see about this problem ( on the attach file - Sorry i'm newbie in this forum so that I can't embed a video I've uploaded on Youtube because it said that "To prevent spam to the forums, new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages" )View attachment 443134

THanks, I've read it but all I saw in that thread is that people get issues about they cannot touch the bottom screen all the time, but for me-it still works, just get weird for sometimes, so I wonder if anyone knows how to fix it? Or let me know is it the software problem or hardware problem?
the main easy solution would be re-flash

I just moved from an iPhone 4 to SGS2 yesterday and absolutely love it. The one thing that's been bothering me is how the screen timeout and lock screen work. On the iPhone, these are two different values. My screen turns off after one minute but doesn't lock until 10. That's the longest allowed per Exchange policy. But on the SGS2, they are the same. So I have to choose between a quick lock to save battery and keep entering my code or choose 10 minutes and waste battery.
I couldn't find any tools that can fix this for me.
This is a long debated issue and to my knowledge, a common problem in Android (I think that Google even changed the API in 2.2 to disable tinkering with this setting).
Still, on my previous Android running on HTC HD2, there was a way...
If someone has a solution, it would be great.

I dont know anything about the exchange and switching from iphone i found this battery vs lock screen very annoying.
What i do (unless someone has better suggestion that doesnt involve in rooting) , is that i install this app called "no lock".. so i set it as no lock when i am at home which means i only need to press the home button instead of entering pw. The downside is when i go out, i need to remember to lock it!

This looks like it requires rooting. I solved the problem by using Touchdown so now I have separate timers again.

has anyone tried this?
Did anyone else try this? Wondering if it is just a stetement to get me to buy it? Can we see a screenshot of the setting?
Hello.
I'm having problems with my Samsung GT-I9000 ( Galaxy S 1 ), and was hoping I could get some help here.
About 4 maybe 5 months my phone has been having crashes (Is as close as I can explain them)
This is what happens:
- Talking to somebody on Whatsapp (for example, but it also crashed on me while playing games, and even when calling)
- I lock the screen and lay the phone down
- After about 2-3 seconds, the screen lights up. And shows me the conversation but does not respond
- Phone goes black for about 5 seconds
- Light vibration
- Screen shows the lock screen, loads my background and scans for media
This happens randomly about 5-10 times a day now. (Depending on how much I use the phone)
It also sometimes just turns off without any animation or sound.
What have I tried:
I first thought it was the ROM, I'm sorry if I make mistakes here but I'm a noob.
The ROM was put on there by a friend of mine, it was called Darky's ROM.
I tried to put a differed ROM on it, but the tutorials failed on me and I killed the phone. Not the "Black screen of death" but beyond that point. It wouldn't even turn on anymore.
Then I send it back to the provider, they took 2 weeks to fix it and I had my phone back. I think they put the default ROM on it but I'm not sure.
Anyhow, this did not fix the problem. As soon as I had my phone back from repair, it still crashed.
I have also updated the phone with Samsung Kies, as shown in attachment 1
Now I don't know if I should send it back again, since they couldn't fix it in the first place, or to just live with it.
The phone's "About phone" page is attachment 2
Thanks everybody for taking the time to look into this.
It's the default ROM they put on again.
I have a friend with the same phone and her's is acting so slowly for such powerful device!
Try setting up a new ROM. I know it's hard, but it's better with the no-lag fix etc...
i heard Darky's Rom is really good, but I bet there are other ROMs who are amazing.
Tutorials are kinda hard to follow for that device, but you can do it
But putting a new ROM on it didn't help.
I can believe the default slows it down, but this problem started on the Darky's rom, and is also still happening with the default.
Is not so difficult, you can change a ROM in like 10min. Try to update your phone to ICS, I'm using ICSSGS and it's blazing fast

Thanks I missed that one.
And thanks Dante for trying to help, but as I said before, changing the ROM did not help, nor updating it.
Anybody else any ideas?
...anyone?
Good Day, I'm hoping someone can help me, I've tried searching but I can't seem to find anything(mainly because I don't know the best way to describe it) sometimes, randomly the screen will turn off, as it should but then it wont come back on, I've installed the wake on volume mod and that doesn't seem to help.
Happened with CM7 and now with The darkside rom.
It's sporatic, it wont do it for like 10 hours then will do it 3 times in an hour.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Adam

I have a similar problem. But mine only happens when i make or recieve a call, doesn't do it everytime. I actually found a thread where it said it was possibly a broken proximity sensor. So the solution was to download 2 things from the app store and install them, and disable the proximity sensor. I am going to try that, cause when i make or recieve a call I actually turn my screen off so i won't hang up on anyone or hit several buttons. The solution they gave was to have a rooted phone, and download "android sensor box" so you can see the name of your proximity sensor, and then download "hardware disabler". Find the name of your proximity sensor and disable it. I have tried everything else, so what do I have to lose on trying this, lol.
Update, after several days i've found the culprit. There was an issue with my sd card, once I swapped it out haven't had a problem since
