I got a new bluetooth headset and couldn't wait to use Google Now with it.
It works well - when the screen is on (I'm not using any lockscreen).
When the screen is off it waits for me to turn the phone on and press the record-button again.
Is there any hack available to use Google Now with screen off, like I have an alternate NFC-APK for screen-off-usage?
Regards

Play pauses intermittently playing in short bursts as soon as screen is locked. most annoying.
Am I the only one to experiece this?
Anyone got any ideas?
I too had this problem. Playback would keep playing in spurts with major brief pauses as I walked along. The solution for me was to go into the start menu, then settings and tap on lock. Under the display tab i changed the unlock display from Windows Default (the slidey bar type) to Windows Classic.
Now i don't have any pauses from coreplayer when the phone is locked.
I also disabled the auto screen orientation change as it seemed to be that the pauses would happen when the phone tried to change orientation but the problem didn't go away until I changed the lock to classic. Before the phone was unusable as a mobile music player (unless I left the screen unlocked) - now it is only unusable as a phone due to the call quality problems.
Sorted.. thanks alot. My call quality aint great but I find it useable. another strange one is when I have the toshiba home screen on I often get the 'not enough memory' prompt, sometimes with just a couple of programs running. Ihate the guady stripey thing anyway but there does seem to be a ram issue.

I have the same issue, but in my case I left the win default lock screen with slider. Instead, I tried to play mp3 files with windows media player (the default one) - it is working properly so far (1 day of testing while walking)
what I would like to be able to solve though is switching off the screen completely so it does not light up in the pocket waiting for me to slide for unlock...
If I press the power button, the playback stops...any suggestions please?
One way is to use psShutXP
Then try to make the divice go to Display off not power of.
Another way is to use AE Button Plus
Then assign a key function for Display off. for example you can assign double volume down for Display off.
i can do lock , standby , anything with a bt headset ...
btw coreplayer has its own option to "turn off display" look for it in the options menu , should work for you guys

I am going to install it anyway, thanks!
is this possible? and if so, how? i've tried a few apps from the market, but they didn't seem to work
Why? Do you hate your phone so much, you need a quick way to burn in the screen?
Actually, while it's in my car dock and I'm using google maps, or any music, it's hard to see the screen after it dims, esp. when driving with my convertible top down in the daytime.

Have you tried STAYAWAKE? Keeps screen on while plugged in to any source that charges.
the screen stays on already... but it still dims until i touch the screen again.
Use Tasker - it's more complicated than most apps, but it gives you tons more control over your phone too.
Just remember to both turn off auto-dim as well as turn your brightness up for the "plugged in" event or it won't work properly if you use tasker!
I have a setting for plugged and unplugged, as well as at home (in range of my wireless SSID) and away. So my GPS turns on when plugged in and away, but not plugged in at home. But my display is set up the way you want as well - and mine increases the display timeout too.

Ok, I have a voice changer app that I want to use with the screen off. Ideally I'd start the app, turn on real-time processing, then turn the screen off. Currently, it only runs when the screen is on, as soon as I turn the screen off the app stops all voice processing. Screen needs to be off so the battery will last longer, and so the settings can't be changed accidentally (so touch has to be disabled as well).
I either need the app to keep running in the background, or have the screen turn off but not actually locked (I dunno the right term, but if the screen was off and didn't accept touch input, but the phone thought the screen was on...that'd be fine).
Closest I've found is to edit the AndroidManifest.xml file to set it persistent, then make it a system app. This will take me a while to figure out, and not even sure it'll work.
Is there some simple solution I'm overlooking? I've seen an app that turns off the screen with help from the proximity sensor...but I want the screen off whether it's in my pocket or lying on top of a table.
Edit: I tried some apps that use the proximity sensor to turn off the screen; as soon as the screen goes off, the voice changer app just stops. I have no idea what's triggering it (if the phone is actually entering a sleep state, or if the app is specifically watching for the screen to go off and suspends itself). Thought that might be a workaround, but nope.
Hi,
I am with this ROM: [ROM] Bluetooth Tether ROM for Omate TrueSmart 1.0.0 and it is very good ROM.
Why when I run the software shake the watch does not wake up on lock screen only when I press the power button I get the lock screen?
Thanks,
Arie.

Use Awesome ON/OFF for screen on
This app works for me. I was able to set it so when I tilt my watch up, I see the watch face. I use Nova Launcher instead of Smart Launcher, just a personal choice both work well.
In shake set action when shaken to simple and select action turn screen on.
I have sensor sensitivity set to 12. Adjust as needed for your circumstances.
Service state is on.
Start at phone startup checked.
Active when screen is off checked.
Unchecked battery savings, vibrate, notify.
In device settings under security set screen lock to none.
So I've noticed when using smart view to cast to a TV screen, the phone screen will turn to a low power mode, that says smart view, press power or swipe to turn on. My concern is that this image causes image persistence once smart view is done, and could eventually lead to burn in. Does anyone know if this screen moves, like the Always on Display images do; or if there is a way to disable this screen without disabling the screen staying potentially awake the whole time. It may not be possible, but I wanted to see if anyone had any experience. The only possible workaround I've come up with is to use the android native casting feature (via nova and a widgets activity) and perhaps the following app.

I'm finding that mine doesn't always enter the power saving while mirroring which I wish it would when I want it to. If I turn the screen off while mirroring, then ask Google voice to play next song or something the screen mirroring wakes up and display on the external screen and puts the power save mode on the phone which is what I'd expect.
I wish mine did this without having to turn the screen off and the wake it up with voice. If I wake it up with the power button then screen mirror comes on b I t so does the normal screen on the phone.
Maybe we can swap ha ha.
Anyone else not getting the power save option when mirroring? I need to turn the screen off then ask Google to do something for the power save to work. Turning the screen back on doesn't help, just asking Google voice seems to bring it back. I was hoping it would just time out and start automatically. Samsung don't seem to understand their own options, with them telling me that it's not possible until I pointed out it's a software feature if their phone then they went silent.
