What's up guys. I drive with my phones mounted on a phone mount. Whenever I hit a little bump, my screen wakes up. I find it annoying. I couldn't really find anything in the settings to cancel the screen wake up function. Is there an app suggestion that could help me. Thanks in advance.
*Solution found*
I found an app called Smart Screen On Off made by Luu Tinh. My screen no longer wakes up when driving. The different features of the app if you guys are interested :
Double tap on Home Screen to turn off screen.
- The sensor will automatically detect, and auto power on / off screen to help you.
- You can disable the feature when the screen rotates horizontally.
- You can set separate delays when the screen on / off to avoid accidentally enabled.
- Support power to quickly head off the screen.
- Support for using the same cover.
- Auto screen off when put your phone into pocket.
- Improve best performance. Only use a maximum of 5 MB RAM.
Edit again dammit. Disregard the first solution.
The raise to wake setting is under the smart gestures portion of the phones settings
It's a built in feature to the phone. Lift to wake
Can just turn it off in settings

I'd like an app or setting to automatically dim the screen (backlight 0) when the phone is idle for a few seconds before dimming the screen. I use Tasker to disable screenlock during cradle usage, and yet I can't find a way to dim the screen when idle to reduce battery usage and improve the charging speed.
Any help? I couldn't find anything with search.
You can either download a app/widget off the market to control that. Or use the built in widget power center by holding on the home screen and selecting widgets. They at the bottom pick and drag the power center to your home screen and you can control how long you want the phone to idle, brightness set to either auto,full,half. Also there is a disable wifi toggle and others.

i've had trouble locating a good app
more google searching with no results. Plenty of results on android phones with asking how to BLOCK auto dim. However, for someone looking to set the dim timeout on a galaxy note, nothing. I can't find anything in the settings and Tasker doesn't show an option either.
Any other ideas?
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.

Thanks for your help, But the app work to me it is wake up not on lock screen (and it is sometimes press on camera or on something else) only when I press the power button I get the lock screen!!!
Thanks,

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.
I've been documenting my struggles with my lock screen in another thread. But I just had a major breakthrough and didn't want this to get buried.
To recap, my lockscreen has been a buggy mess from day one. The fingerprint sensor barely works, the fingerprint icon randomly disappears, and the gray border that's supposed to appear around the fingerprint icon simply doesn't show up. The lockscreen doesn't light up when I pick up the phone either (it stays dimmed). Also, wallpapers don't show up on the lock screen, and the big ugly clock sometimes disappears or moves itself to the top-left.
I've tried just about everything to fix this. As a last-ditch effort, I added a new user profile only to find that the lockscreen works perfectly well for this new profile (but still not for my main one).
Here's my main profile with the unusable lockscreen:
broken lockscreen of main profile
Watch "broken lockscreen of main profile" on Streamable.
streamable.com
And here's what it looks like when using the other profile:
working lockscreen on new profile
Watch "working lockscreen on new profile" on Streamable.

So there's clearly some obscure bug that most people aren't experiencing here. I'd love to just figure it out so I can move on.
When I didn't have the "always on display" turned on, the phone was very consistant about turning on properly when I picked it up. I ran it this way for 3-4 days without any issues.
After reading some articles on the P6, I realized that it has an AOD and that it was turned off. So I turned the AOD on while leaving all the other settings set the same. At first, the finger print icon wouldn't appear consistantly, but that is because I had adjusted the animation scale settings in the Developer settings. Changing that back to stock fixed the issue with the finger print icon not showing up.
That beings said, I have experienced the same "unresponsive" screen many times over the last couple of days that I have had the AOD turned on. The screen stays dimmed (or even turned off if I pull the phone out of my pocket) and the finger print reader is inactive (even though the icon is displayed). The screen is suppose to turn on when I lift the phone up, but it doesn't always do it. When this happens, I have to either manually turn the screen on using the power button, or double tap the screen to wake it. This is clearly a bug in the system somewhere. I probably need to report it to Google, but hopefully it is fixed soon.
After spending way too long on this, I've determined that the bug occurs consistently with these specific settings (although it may also occur for similar ones):
Lock after screen timeout: 30 minutes (or anything high enough to prevent it from locking between tests)
Power button instantly locks: disabled
Lift to check phone: disabled
Tap to check phone: disabled
Always show time and info: enabled
Replication steps:
1) Enter the above settings
2) Press the Power button to go to the lockscreen
3) Set your phone down for a couple seconds
4) Pick your phone back up and try to use the fingerprint sensor
Result: The fingerprint sensor won't work the first time.
I think all the other issues I had were actually stemming from this one issue.
