Hi friends, I'm looking for app that would automatically send my phone to sleep when I close the lid of my pouch. Is there anything like this available on market?

Yes try air swiper.

Any app which uses the proximity sensor to turn the screen off would work, however this would also mean it would happen whenever the sensor is covered.
Also just found this in the same section...

Have a look/search first, usually you'll find what you're looking for

The screen uses the most energy. Pretty logical for it to be on the top. If you're not using your phone for a day, of course the android os process will be at the top.

So i downloaded [email protected] battery monitor app. . Googles services had 406 wakelocks ... Is this normal??? My battery is crap on just 4g (even disabling mobile data on occasion). I get from 8am when i take the charger off till about 3pm. (maybe surf web for 10 mi.utes send a few texts, mostly the screen is off). See below... Is g services the culprit? I dont use gps either or anything for location
What app is that?
100% stock. 21 hours unplugged time and 5 hours 4 minutes screen on time. Just because they are "wakelocks" doesn't mean they are keeping your device awake. It means that they are able to. Only 35kb was sent and your device was only kept awake 69 times. That isn't much. I mean damn man, TOTAL awake time according to your screenshot is under 2 minutes lol. That isn't even denting your battery. The culprit is elsewhere.

whats the name of this app?
I have the same app. Android services is at top for me and it says its using the gyroscope and light? Motion settings are off and my on screen time is only at 1h30min. What's up with this because its killing my battery.

Light is referring to the sensor. The ambient light sensor. The gyroscope and such are used for location data and screen orientation. Screen orientation is seperate from motion controls, so check and see if it's still active.

Alright. So I turned off auto brightness and set if at medium. As for the gyroscope, screen rotation is locked and has been. Its clocked in at two hours now which is right on par with on screen time. Is this because i keep GPS on because i thought it was only used when needed. Also in the location settings under Gps there's another setting to use motion sensing indoors that will improve battery life should that be checked because i have that unchecked

Ugh now it won't let upload pics. Anyway i found the apps that use the sensor the most. Words with friends came out on top as well as the gallery. The gallery i understand because when you tilt your phone so does the UI but i don't use it for three hours. Also, since when does Wwf need the gyroscope ? I think I'm going to have to delete Wwf and see how that goes. What do you think about the gallery constantly using the sensor? Glitch?

I love cm roms, always using them.. But, i miss the smart stay function from the stock Sammy roms. So my question would be, is there some mod/app for smart stay to work with cm?

Smart stay + on play store may work. Give it a try and give feedback. :thumbup:
I installed smartstay ex from the playstore. I'm testing now, and i guess it works.. Poor face detection on low light, but its ok on daylight.

Doesn't work well. I uninstalled it. First day was ok, but after a while it was making problems..

Gmd smart rotate works quite well, doesn't particularly like cm10.2 in my experience though... had various rotation related issues, even with the rotation options turned off
The smart stay feature worked well though

Hi everyone,
I used LG2 for quiet some times. I found that the knock on feature is very handy. Anyone could found any app that resemble that?
You've posted in the wrong section, but the only one I could find (I only searched for two minutes) was the whole G2 launcher that includes the knock on feature. It looks like it works on most phones, but you're also forced to use the ugliest and worst launcher in the world.
You must be rooted and you can download it here:

So.. Does that mean that the feature is not a low level one? Meaning we can program it on top level?

I just tried that, by pushing apps with right permissions in system/app, but it doesn't work.
I don't know if there's a switch to turn that on or off, but as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't work at all, it's just a simple launcher with no functions at all...

Double tap to wake is a function of the kernel. It has been around long before the G2 in custom kernels (i.e. HTC One with Bulletproof kernel). It is on the Z tablet and a shame Sony did not bring it to the Z Ultra.

I just use Screen Off app from the Playstore. Why should I double tap if I can just single tap it's app icon to make the screen sleep and lock?! To wake it is another thing though. I tested some kernel back then with my SG Note II that do that (touch screen to wake) but it was buggy!
So, it would be if we could find this feature in Google Play (with or without root). I am willing to donate for this feature. Especially the phone is big, would be nice if we can turn on the screen without having to pick up the phone from the table.

There are at least 10 options to turn the screen off, and only half of them require root.
The cool thing to do would be turning the screen ON, or better yet, having the possibility to turn it on and off with two taps on the screen.
If you ever try an LG G2 you will know why that would be cool.
I personally use GMD gesture and turn the screen off pinching three fingers, that's really showing off with all my colleagues and friends...

Well after using this device, a double tap gesture is not that required and maybe introducing additional issue considering its size and weight distribution in the hand. Plus with the flip case it comes with, turn off and on based on proximity sensor is the more elegant way to run this beast. I made my self a tasker script for that and i love it all the more

You know, I really don't seem to get the grip of Tasker. I install it once in a while, try something, nothing ever works, I give up and uninstall it.
I would really like a full guide on this neat program.
I bet you could even make a task for waking up/putting to sleep the phone by a tap on the SmartWatch 2 (a user made a Tasker extension for it here on XDA)...

Well you don't have to use tasker, plenty of alternative method to do proximity on/off.. but well i might write a simple tutorial for tasker if i have time.

Just search for "wave2wake" in the PlayStore app...
Works for me, but it's way too sensitive. And sometimes it just won't notice when I wave.
I say it definitely needs more development, but seeing that since I installed it (yesterday) it already received an update, I also say we're in good hands.

Thanks for this. Tried it and it works. But I went for Every Cover as I'm using a flip cover and it'll be good to make the screen on/off when i close/open it.
Anyone have the same problem during calling? The screen stays black after putting it in the face and after call end I still need to push the power button 2-3 times to turn the screen on back.
P.S.
I am using Official Kitkat version non-rooted.

Sounds like a bug. Re-flash or repair it in PCC or do a factory reset and see if that fixes it.

Yup, that's true. Are you using a screen protector on top of the anti-shatter film? If yes, the solution is probably calibration, which is very easy.
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
How can I calibrate the proximity sensor? I haven't done PC companion repair because my Internet connection was so slow. And yes iam also using generic screen protector which doesn't have a hole in proximity sensor. That's why I want to try fixing calibration proximity sensor first.

I cannot see the calibration feature either.
I have no screen protector, the cell is clean and quite new. I tried xperia disgnostic and it tell me the proximity sensor is always detecting something. I tried calibrating the sensor with *#*#7378423#*#* but the ability to calibrate is not present only the testing. According to sony pc companion i have the latest version. I just resetted my phone to make sure it was not the problem.
Build Number: 14.3.A.0.757
android 4.4.2
I suggest to revert back to JB 4.3 to do calibration. Then try again flash Kitkat and look if it works.
