Hello!
My last device was a Blackberry Storm 9500. As you may know, Blackberrys turn off when you put them into the case and on, when you take it out. They do this by a magnetic sensor.
Our HD2 has a proximity sensor. How about a solution that emulates the same behavior?
Thx for patience,
Sebastian
good idea, in addition, no sense to keep the screen turned on in the pocket,
so auto-screen-off by proximity sensor will be good option
Thought this had been requested before but I may be wrong, think its a great idea. Hope someone can develop it.
Take a look at G-Trigger
Great idea, any thing to save on battery usage.
Yeah! Very good idea!

I don't think that software will support the proximity sensor on the HD2.
Any more info on this, surely this is an idea worth pursuing.
It would also be nice if the screen stayed off with an incoming call etc, until you take it out your pocket.
maby your looking for this

be carfull dont drop your htc hd2
if you wanne use this be careful dont drop your phone because its the screen is from glassuse this on your on risk)

It works well for what it is but I really don't want to have to rotate my device all the time. I'd rather the proximity sensor did the work!
I don't know of any application, existing or in development, that makes use of the proximity sensor.
This does interest me, too. I'd like to see a screen off on proximity -- like the in-call HTC phone software.
I really hope someone out there is willing to take up the challenge..
I second that.
try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624206
has anyone checked this out?

Use TouchLockPro.
Using proximity sensor alone is not without problem. Wheneven your finger tries to reach the top left corner (like the start icon), it will likely trigger the sensor. Most people only use the p sensor to keep the wm stay locked when it is in the locked state (instead of locking it from the unlocked state).
I had this feature with my TP2, and used it a lot.
Is there any mod of some sort I can install on my EVO 4G to allow the speakerphone to automatically activate when the phone is facedown?
I'm sure others would be interested in this as well.
Thanks!
yea there definitely is because it worked like that on the hero, someone will make it happen hopefully
I did not know that about the Hero!
Hopefully some awsome members here at xda could port that mod/app to the Evo sometime soon...
bump!
I'm curious to know if anyone else has heard anything about re-instating this feature on the EVO 4G!
Thanks
I would def use it

Me too why would they remove features out of sense?
i'm interested in this too, loved it on my tp2
it's 3am, in my bed, talking to someone (doesn't matter to who, that's not the point here). i flip to my side, incidentally making my phone's orientation matching the criteria - facing down, out the blue now i'm on speaker (!)... lol, not that i'd be doing this but this is one case where this "feature" would be more of a "bug"

I'd imagine you could code it not to look for a certain orientation, but to look for a rate of change of the Z axis that would indicate that it suddenly stopped face down on a surface. If it is coded like that, in your scenario you would only trigger it if you brought it off your face than slapped yourself with the phone. The impulse you get from a hard object is much different from a soft object and I imagine that for most people, they're talking about tables and counter tops here which are much harder than your face.

It would be based off of the proximity sensor.
use flipit in the android market, works pretty good

+1 on this. Works just like the TP2 did
+2 so far works awesome, just like the TP2
Awesome! +3 Just what I wanted.
does anyone know if there is a way to hang up without turning the screen back on? Sometimes when driving and talking on the speakerphone its such a pain to wake the screen and then press end. Sometimes the other end hangs up and i end up pressing a button on the home screen instead. annoying not having a hard button for hanging up!
Hi all,
I just broke my screen the question I have is this, I have an att fuze branded Raph, and since the screen is broken and I am going to replace it I was wondering if anyone knows weather or not I could put a Touch Pro screen on with the front facing cam and the hardware would work. I don't know if there is a missing socket or missing support for the cam in the roms but I thought it might simply be an issue like the radio player was at release where a simple cab would fix. My phone is still usable for now but I plan to fix within a couple days so any knowledge would help me make the decision on which screen to buy.
Thanks for any help
Hi
Just got a nexus s today, but when i have the phone flat and turn it from portrait to landscape, the phone doesnt change the image from portrait to landscape, only turns when i pick it up, and the phone has to be at a angle of 45 degrees of greater then will it turn. Is there any reason for this?
Yes gravity
As far as I understand you are talking about spinning your phone around when its laying flat on let's say a table. There is no way for the motion sensor to know what is portrait and what is landscape unless you pick it up and hold it vertically aligned to the earth's gravity. The sensors are based on that. So they can't tell which side of the table you're standing at to be able to position the screen and the sensors leave the orientation at the last position it was. If you know what I mean.
So you must lift (tilt) the phone off the table at least 45 degrees to change the orientation and then you can lay it flat again.
Accelerometer direction is relative? It doesn't know where you are in proportion to the phone (lying down, sitting upright, on monkey bars, etc). The general idea is that you hold it as if you were standing upright using it, then rotate as necessary. If you then lay it flat it will stay how you just told it.

Hehe... that was a first for me on a question like that. Never thought someone might not know how that works.
Same here. Took some thinking to be able to describe something that feels natural to me.

I just thought of something. If you lay the phone on the table flat in landscape while the phone is displaying portrait and spin the table around, assuming the phone doesn't slide off the table, with certain cylindrical force grater than earth's gravity, you should be able to observe it switch to landscape without the need of picking it up.
Just a 2nd option in case the first one was too hard
You make a valid point, but that assumes the accelerometer is what handles all rotation - the nexus also has a gyroscope which probably gets factored in. Can't trick it now can you?
The phones will become self aware soon..
Actually I think it will still trick it since the gyroscope (if factored in) does account for motion. I think I'll test this since now I'm curious
After a good 5 minutes spinning my phone like a madman over my bed.. it confuses the hell out of the camera (something which rotates regardless of the autorotate setting), but cannot budge an app such as the browser (which won't autorotate if the setting is switched off).
Damn thing knows more about where it is than i do.
you could try and spin it like a top and try to get one side to flip up then land flat on the table again, that could trick it. be a good youtube video haha
Hi.
Just bought a original flip cover for my Note 2 . But it does not wake or turn of the screen.
Am i missing something in settings. Im on Xiaomi.EU 5.10.8 Weekly.
It sure has sensor that turn of screen when i hold it to my ear, so it should be possible (?)
After changing the launcher i really begin to like this phone.
Thanks
Knievel
There aren't settings about it. The prossimity sensor work while you are phoning, it turn off the screen when is near the ear.
For change the launcher go to Settings > Apps > Default Apps > Launcher
~ Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Prime ~

Nope. I am not able to wake/turn of screen with flip cover so far.
Google Now launcher gives me the stock feeling i like, with app drawer etc.
And still have a lot of useful stuff in Miui os.
Had to flash Chainfires Supersu to change launcher and make it stick. Some trouble with permissions.
Did also uninstall a few annoying Chinese apps before i was happy with it.
Thanks
Knievel
nice cover.
Try to install any smart cover apps from google play..
hope it work.
Hello,
Can you please tell me where do you buy it? Can you please share à link?
Thank you
This cover claims it has auto-sleep/wakeup and even has video to demo that http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...For-Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-2-With/32506925639.html
No idea if it actually works

Hi.
There is a lot of apps that make you able to wake/turn off screen with flip cover.
But all of them uses to much battery, and screen turn off when its not supposed to.
This flip cover seems to clearly have an app involved.
The main reason for me to have this function is to save battery.
Both my Nexus 5 and 6 have flip covers that uses some kind of magnetic function.
Maybe this phone doesent have the right hardware and has to use the proximity sensor.
Just my guess.
Thanks
Knievel
Yes the flip cover uses the magnetic sensor and a custom app.
I don't see why the magnetic sensor should use less battery than the proximity/light ones...
So I will buy a normal flip case.
Thank you.
I dont think this phone has magnetic sensor
No magnetic sensor present in the RedMi Note 2
The Redmi Note 2 must have a magnetic sensor, because it's working with the magnetic button of my ColorCross 2 virtual reality headset (I've taken this one because it's an open one, to prevent over-heating during games, but it's not the topic) on SwivelGun game (but it's better with à mini bluetooth gamepad).
To say, RN2 must have a magnetic sensor...

Nope, OTA, I didn't find anything, anywhere, but, hey, I've not searched... ^^

The magnetic sensor is like a mechanical switch, it doesn't need to be powered, but the proximity sensor needs to be powered to work...
Waiting for the same
I've enabled the required settings but my mobile does not respond to the (normal, without magnet) cover. I wished it used the proximity sensor, as done while calling.

I have been using "Gravity Screen - On/Off" app for years with my RN2 flip cover, it works like a charm.
I can recommend WaveUp.
It's free and open source; it works on Redmi Note 2 (at least with CyanogenMod 12.1) and you can install it via F-Droid or Play Store.
Hi
I am enable flip cover mode but by mobile restart now and it is now lock also not open pls help me.
