Want to feel what gestures can do? Here's an application which will let you turn off/on your screen just with a swipe!! Swipe your hand over the proximity sensor (Located near the earpiece on top of the phone).
Features: • 3 modes to turn screen off: Timeout based, Root Screen Off support fingerprint sensor and lastly traditional method, DeviceAdmin screen off. • Support for tablets with Light Sensor only (Make sure you set sensor sensitivity to low). • Tasker integration with quick service start/stop toggle • Schedule start/stop of service (Save battery power during night) • Pocket/Flip or Smart Cover Mode: Turns screen OFF when sensor covered and ON when uncovered. (Feature requested by Galaxy Note users) • Turn Screen On/Off with following gestures: 1) Swipe Once, 2) Swipe Twice, 3) Swipe and Hold, 4) Hold and Swipe and 5) Cover and Hold • Ignore Apps list: Add the apps/games where you want to disable the service • Widget: to start and stop the service • ScreenOff shortcut: to turn off the screen by launching the app. • Sensor Configuration : Based on your device select the sensor of your choice, or the one that's available and configure their values, as they are different for different devices. • Enable screen on/off during calls only • Disable call handling completely • Battery Saving options: 1) Option to De-Activate sensors after timeout 2) Option to De-Activate sensors if power button is pressed or phone goes idle • Override power button and screen-on by other apps (Phone is in pocket and you get a call or you accidentally press the power button, screen will remain off) • Prevent accidental screen on • Disable accidental lock - in Swipe to Screen Off mode if the sensor is covered for longer than specified duration screen wont turn off • Vibration on screen On/Off
NOTE: • This app uses the Device Administrator permission - which is required to Turn Screen ON/OFF • App needs SDCard read/write permissions for debug logging support • If app does not work with flip cover but works with hand, then try a) Enable No-Recognize Delay and add about 4-5 seconds of delay b) or try pasting a white piece of paper on the cover where the sensor is located, that will help the detection.
• If Gestures or any other settings (like lock-screen) are not working, please Clear app data from Settings -> Application Manager -> Proximity Screen Off Pro -> Clear Data
• Default timeout after screenOn will be system display timeout. can be overridden by "Avoid screen Flickering"
• Removing/Uninstalling the app - Launch ProximityScreenOff Pro and click Uninstall button - System Settings , "Locations & Security" or just "Security" , Select Device Administrators and disable the ScreenOff App
• App needs Device Administrator privilege to lock the screen, If you have any questions on permissions used by the app, please send me an email and i will explain you the reason app needs them.
• To enable lock screen - Use option "Locks phone on screenOn" under "All settings"
