Is this possible to disable? I freaking hate it, it's annoying and a pointless feature of the phone.
Um don't use apps that use it? Lol?
Use Advanced Config? Diamond Tweak? EtC?
I can't find anything in the Advanced Config to disable it. But programs like opera if I tilt the phone a little it changes orientation when I don't want it to. And it' annoying.
disable acceleromoter in Opera
I would also like to know how to diable the accelerometer in Opera.
The acceleromoter works in Opera 9.5, didn't work in 9.65, and now it works with 9.7... and I also hate it.
A solution would be much appreciated. I am surprised no one has figured this out yet...
HKLM\Software\Opera\GSensor\IdleTime set to very large number. It is the time in milliseconds to wait after the phone changes orientation before it rotates the screen.
Better than increasing the idle time, which will still eventually rotate the screen, is to use an application like Gyrator 2 http://gyrator.brins0.net/ to limit auto-rotation to apps that you actually want to rotate. It works very well at giving you great control over what your motion sensors do.

If you set the idle time to an incredibly high number, it will for all purposes never rotate the screen. If you tilt it sideways then back to portrait, it will cancel the countup to the idle time. It won't later rotate the screen. It will only rotate the screen if it has been tilted for that amount of time.
Why install another program? Anyways, what other programs auto rotate other than opera?
I have been trying naptime forcedoze and greenify combinations for optimum doze settings. recently naptime updated the app into agressive doze mode. so its constantly seeks motion, resulting in high battery usage in deep doze sequences.
On the other hand, I couldn't achieve disabling motion sensing in any of those app for my non-root device. I am now using greenify and forcedoze. It is optimal but about motion sensing.
You can manualy interfere with doze constants by adb commands, but PhenotypeConfigurator peridocally resets all doze constant parameters.
So i have no solution atm. Any advice for non-root devices motion sensing issue would be deeply appreciated...

May be this tool will be usefull.
It switch off screen using proximity sensor detection.
Like alternative power button.
After proximity detected - screen switched off and proximity sensor don't used until screen will be switched on again manualy.
No screenshots
Second time running will unload program from memory, it can be used for switching on/off proximity lock feature.
All settings in registry, settings reloaded on each program run.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Exidler\Hd2ProximityScreenOff
AfterCallReactivateSensor = dword:150 - time in ms when activate proximity sensor after call ended
SensorOffWhenProximity = dword:0 - time in ms when disabling proximity sensor on proximity detected. May be useful for disabling accident detection. This time proximity sensor is still active and if no porximity detected with this time - screen will be switched on automatically
ActiveOnlyIfLocked = dword:0 - Activate Proximity sensor only if Phone locked.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Exidler\Hd2ProximityScreenOff\Exceptions
Create any named sub keys with values:
ClassName = string - name of windows class
WndTitle = string - title of window
ProcName = string - name of process
For exception windows proximity sensor will be disabled if this one window is active.
All criterias are optional. For example create only one value ProcName="Explorer.exe" for disabling proximity lock when Resco Explorer is active.
Proximity sensor activated only in portrait mode.
Change log
2010-01-29: v0.2
- full uninstallable cab
- add options: After Call Reactivate Sensor, Sensor Off When Proximity, Active Only If Phone Locked, Exception windows
- disbaling Proximity lock when landscape mode
2010-01-28: v0.1 Test version. Bugs possible.
Great something to get us started, did you make this yourself? Are you willing to put some time in to perfect it & create some options etc. if we bug test it?

How will this effect the screen turning on after a phonecall, i wan't the screen automatically turned on after a call without having to press a button.
Will this tweak allow default function in that case?

I don't know which options may be added.
I'm can't full control proximity sensor. It's only possible to enable proximity sensor, and htc drivers switching off screen by itself. The i'm disable proximity sensor again
But if it's will be possible to implement some features - i can try to do this.
Ok this is a good start, for me the following things need to be worked out for this to work good.
1. Only works when phone is upright, ie. Portrait. Reason being is if the screen goes off via Proximity in when holding the phone in landscape there will be allot of accidental activations, especially while playing games etc. It is much less likely that proximity will be detected when holding the phone upright.
2. Screen needs to come back on when proximity not detected, as to not cancel out the in call screen off feature.
Will keep thinking! Really hope you can work some magic here exidler!! Thanks

it will handle proximity sensor to default behavior after call. so i think (and shure) - screen will blink for short time (~200ms) and will be switched off by tool.

Let me test, I assume the cab can be de-installed and everything is back to default behaviour?

in call screen back on when no proximity
when not in call - it switch off. or you talking about switching on screen when not in call?
about landscape and portrait. it's make easy if screen orientation really changed (if not - polling g-sensor - is not a good idea for battery i'm think)

Cab is Uninstallable, but you must close program manually before uninstalling: run program second time, it will show message about closing

I just ment you don't want it to interfere with the in call actions the HD2 already has.
As you say g-sensor polling etc. no good for battery. I have a feeling this maybe flawed before we get started.

program know about call and not be interferace with HD2 proximity call actions.
Landscape alternative - Programs (windows) exceptions - when it's active - promity sensor may be disabled. (but this feature need more time for apply)
Just tested the app and maid an incomming call with an other phone, the screen will automaticly turn on after moving from my ear as should be.
Great app I must say!
My fear is when using apps like fpsece etc, the screen will keep going off. Need to put our heads together and brainstorm some ideas to prevent acidental proximity.
The landscape idea with g-sensor was the first thing that came to me but hopefully there will be a better idea. Maybe only when the phone is perfectly horizontal (i.e as it goes into a pocket) The problem is keeping the g-sensor active will drain battery....
Idea's peeps!!
Hmm no way of de-installing it. If I use the app and then push the on button and then try to remove the app via start/settings, after about 10 seconds the device freezes.
Even after trying to install the app again (wich usually workes to remove apps witch can't be completely removed via start/settings) the device freezes.
Taking battery out is only way to restart. App remaines on device though.
Noticed also that the app is flawed, trying to go with my right finger to the left top of the screen to push start makes the screen turn of and that simply sucks.
HOW TO REMOVE THIS APP?

Before uninstalling go to install folder (defaul is \Program Files\Hd2ProxmityScreenOff) and run exe file inside Hd2ProxmityScreenOff.exe
You will see message about that programe closed. Tap Ok and then uninstall.
All be fine.
about freezing when uninstalling without stopping in memory process i'm know.

OK thanks, it's de-installed correctly. Maybe will use it in the future when it has matured a bit.
The programm should look on proximity-sensor, when i turn on my phone with the power-button.
--> if proximity detectet, screen should be staying off
--> if no proximity, phone should be wake up
Is this possible with your app? This would be a very great feature off our hd2! Perfect locking solution!

it's not possible until full hack of promitiy sensor.
i'm not have a fule of knowlendge fo arm assembler interpereting.
it' not difficlt for poples, how have knowledge of arm programs research.
but for me, i'm only can handle simple events
We are waiting for full promitiy API
so all of yours requests is impossimle.
Its a good start. Keep the project on.
perhaps a little bit easier to develop and to get various possibilities:
could you add 2 parameters to your app:
-activate
-deactivate
or so.
then it could be called also from other apps depend on its needs and states.
And also one scenario: It should only work if screen is locked(using notification).Then it's sure,that it should switch off because sensor detection
Keep up your great work.A really good idea,which can be very useful, if adaptable and a little configurable.
Thanx

All I want is an application that can switch between Auto Brightness to Minimum setting (OS specified or lower) at specific time, time when it gets dark. or maybe it can choose the time automatically based on dusk and dawn.
I noticed that Auto setting NEVER drops to minimal setting for some reason......

There is an app called Timeriffic (I think that's how it's spelled). You just input the settings into the app and at that predetermined time, it will adjust settings (including brightness, not sure about auto brightness).
I have it set so that at a certain time (when I leave the house) it will turn off the wifi, turn on vibrate, etc...
But if you fall out of your routine, you kind of go bonkers because you forget that you have timeriffic set and can't figure out why the wifi turned off, etc... LoL!
How about just using Power Widget when to switch between auto/minimal when you realize the screen is too bright?
Thanks. Timeriffic gets the job done, but i wish it would support auto brightness. using power widget doesnt work for me because if i forget to switch back to auto setting, in sunny day i cant even see the screen at all and have to find shaded area just to switch back

Yeah I've had to learn where certain objects are on my home screen.
*Unlock* *Swipe right* *press top right of phone*
Haptic feedback is my friend
It's a shame, OLEDs are so much better than TFT screens for battery conservation but they suck in the light, you know, outside, the one place you are most likely to use your MOBILE phone. Ah well, it performs almost as well as the iPhone when the N1's on full brightness. I held it next to my friend's 3GS, but thinking about it forgot to check what brightness hers was on... DOH.
I think they've corrected it now though, with newer designs.
There is also an app that is called auto bright and it can be made into a homescreen shortcut and is basically a macro that turns on autobright. I put it next to my power control widget so in the case where I need to switch brightness manually I can easily switch back. FYI Froyo's power widget has added the autobright setting so soon as a stable version of Froyo comes out this will be a mute point.

Setting Profiles does the same as well, and a whole lot more.
App I use is called, dimmer. It has to manually be switch.

OP pointed out (correctly) the Automatic Brightness setting will never automatically set the brightness to the minimum point (that is, as low as you could set it manually). I can confirm that, though Froyo does include the Automatic option on the power control widget, it still won't go all the way dim. It seems rather silly that the Automatic range doesn't go all the way down.
Also, the word you're after is "moot", not mute.

yes. thats correct. if auto setting would go all the way down, then i would not need any 3rd party software to begin with. i really wish we could adjust the range and sensitivity of the sensor
ps. developer of Timeriffic said that its not possible to add Auto Brightness setting to his app because there is no API for that and the only way around is to hack it.
Hello all,
This has been an issue since my first sony. Gravity Box - an xposed module had a handy option in which at every screen wake, it was checking the proximity sensor to see if there is something near or not - it helped avoiding accidental dials and touches while in pocket.
I tried third party apps but the functionality is problematic. I also tried automations such as MacroDroid which held wakelock on proximity sensor - thus battery drain and cpu usage.
Samsung has an option within settings that does just that.
My question is, is there an adb command or a tasker automation (or even app) that brings this functionality back?
Looking fwd for your input. I am not rooted (for now) so the options are limited. Still I hope you guys have some bright ideas on the matter.
Cheers,
Hi folks,
since it seems that there is the 1st custom rom with working one-key button and the stock function of it is rather useless, i wonder if it might be 1 day remapable. If it is, what would u like to do it?
Lets gather some ideas here. Preferably toggable functions.
I would like to see a keylock function. Prevents any user input, also while screen is on.
Maybe something like the opposite of the stock function. A performance booster by tuning govenor settings in cost of battery.
Toggle one of the toggable system settings (bluetooth, w-lan, NFC etc...)
I can also imagine non toggable functions, if the changing of the two states (down to up and up to down) is seperatly assignable.
eg: moving down to up would launch an app, an activity or a shortcut and moving up to down would kill the foreground app or a given app or would bring u back to homescreen.
Please share ur thoughts.
Best regards, Chillmann
Mute switch like on the OnePlus 5t would be really nice!
I think the best will be the keylock feature....
Anyone from below
# Ultimate power save mode [cuz it may kill most background process]
# Guest mode
# DND
# DND
# Power saver in form of lowering cpu/gpu speed
To me, the most useful one would be the torch.
It's perfect for a simple on/off switch and it's the one I happen to be in need of activating quickly without unlocking the phone
Just allow us to Program it with Tasker... That would be the best outcome.
Would be best to be programmable. But since this is an opinion about what would suit best.. i think the power save option should be programmable.. like Efficiency, Power Save, ect.. to the key switch. But a multi function option to that key would be nice.
This version of los 14.1 (Highwaystar) has onekey working. https://cloud.mail.ru/public/Bw8U/e3wbC13AR
Its not putting the phone into super saving mode as the one we saw in the stock rom, just the regular saving mode
Did any1 try exposed edge along with highwaystar's build?
At least... since tasker can get power save mode status, we can already use it to tweak ps mode a little bit by reducing screen timeout, turn off whatever could be on like wifi, bluthooth and so on or even load a kernel auditor profile... Not bad so far...

Tried it myself and its not recognizing an event while using powersave key.
And i can confirm a bug, mentioned somewhere else, that locking screen while ps-mode enabled turns screen back on and ps-mode off.
Hey everybody,
from my P6P I was used to being able to navigate my smartphone whilst making a call over the speakers or listening to a voice message over whatsapp.
Now, when doing this, my 7P will again and again shut off the screen because the sensor is triggered. This seens really out of proportion, since it happens far down and only on the left site (i attached an image with the blue trigger zone).
Is this sth you experience as well and can check for me?
Thanks!!
I was also experiencing this annoying issue. It was driving me crazy.
Was able to find a fix though: activate Developers Options and open it. Look for Quick Settings Developers Tiles menu and tap to it. Then tap to Sensors Off to enable it. This will add Sensors Off tile in tiles list in the scroll down top menu of your phone. If you activate (tap on it) it will disable all sensors, proximity sensor included.
The changes will apply immediately so you can do this whilst on phone/video calls and then enable it back after the call. Works like a charm.
Whilst its tempting to leave it disabled all the time, I won't recommend it as it disables all the sensors, for example, automatic screen brightness sensor or auto rotate sensor, so not very convenient.
Yeah, the cut off point is pretty early. I'd recommend using one handed mode to reach for the top of the screen or just trigger speakerphone.
