Is this feature working for anybody, I stare in the screen from all sorts of phone position, and it doesn't work for me?
you have to be holding the phone as it works of the accelerometers

There are some programs which allow users of HTC devices to specify what programs they want their G-Sensor working in. So they can specify that they do not want their titanium home screen to utilze the sensor.
The program will not work on the TG01 because it relies on the HTC G-Sensor driver. Is there a similiar program for the TG01?
Thanks!
I've not found anything that does this yet on the TG01 - the fact that the homescreen rotates is extremely annoying to me - especially as the wallpaper rotates too and then it tiles it - a very ugly effect. Wouldn't be soo bad if the interface rotated but left the wallpaper as it is.
For this reason i've disabled the G-sensor completely but i miss the functionality in other things, such as viewing photos and such.
Does anyone know a good way for the Tg01 to rotate without G-Sensor on-demand? Maybe by mapping a rotate function to the camera key?
Otherwise can the sensor be made less sensitive as 90% of the time when I pull the phone from my pocket it unlocks in landscape mode. Or rather it spends wasted time flicking between orientations so that I can't grab the unlock slider easily.
get a 800x800 wallpaper.....
ive you deactivated the g-sensor you can switch from portait to landscape etc with the vol. up key... just hold the button for 1-2 sec and the screen switch.
Perfect thank you! I either missed that in the manual or it wasn't in there.
I've been searcing Play Store for an app that use motion detection by the front camera to wake up the screen on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 when someone enters the room, or is walking near the device. The Camera Trigger (Motion detect) app is one that looked promising, but unfortunately there is no trigger for activating the screen. I also looked at Tasker but there is as far as I can see currently no event available to use motion detected by camera to activate the screen.
The reason I would like this is because the Tab is used by my family to display the Google agenda/calendar for all family members and their activities. Instead of having to turn on the device it would be a cool hi-tech feature to automatically turn on the screen when someone walks in the room. I understand that using the camera for such a purpose would make the battery drain quicker, but that's ok as the Tab is alway in it's docking station with a power adapter. Also I'm not using the lock screen/there is no security as this is a Tablet used by the family.
Anyone?
Thx n brgds ToonWolf
I want the exact thing
Hi there,
I just wanted to say that i actually want the exact thing:
An app that turns on the screen, when motion is detected by the front facing camera
and turns it off again, if there hadn't been motion for a couple of seconds...
Have you found a solution / an app that can do that?
or anyone else here ?
I'm surprised / sad that it looks like there isn't an app for that...
Me too.
I am using a Gbox to display my security cams on a tv mounted up in the corner of the kitchen. Right now I have we turn on the TV with a remote when walking into the room, but it would be extremely sexy if it the screen woke when it detected motion and went to sleep after 10 mins or so.
I have a problem with my proximity sensor (probably dust?) and I can't clean it. Now, every time I get a call on all roms I tried the screen shuts off (that is normal) but won't turn on (ie. if I have to press keys while talking or activate speaker)
The only way I have for now is flashing a very bright light on the sensor and it only works sometimes....
So my question is : is there and app, a dialer, an option, a way or whatever other trick to have the screen turned on while in a call?
Peek at this:

Supposed to be a free tmobile proximity sensor recalibrator here, but the page wouldn't load for me. Maybe it is available elsewhere.
Also, if your screen protector is covering it, maybe that is making a difference?
I couldn't find a way to disable the proximity sensor or change its sensitivity, however there might still be a way.
Good luck.
I think I must have dropped my phone sometime and ruined the orientation sensor. When I open my camera, it is stuck in panoramic orientation. Toggling screen rotation has no effect whatsoever. On normal home screen, its set at portait and wont rotate. I've download apps that tell you about your sensors such as Android Sensor Box, and it shows that the sensors not responding whether i tilt or shake my phone. Anyone else heard of a problem like this?
Long story short I'm trying to setup a macro, so far so good, But the macro stops as soon as the lock screen is pressed. (Even though lockscreen is turned off) So basically I'm trying to find an app or something to were I can turn off the screen yet still have macro running in the background...Any help would be great.
