I upload a clip about how to use this screen lock on youtube

Any feedbacks?

thanks for tha app

Just testing now... seems to work fine and doesn't lock the screen when on a call which was the only thing I was concerned about...
Only thing left to test is battery life..
Good app..

It is programed not to lock screen when a call is incoming, otherwise it will lock the screen and you will miss that call.
But , anyway, your idea maybe useful to prevent using cell phones when driving.
So,if you still think that lock the screen when a call is incoming is necessary, I can add a check box for that function.

I think you misunderstand me... what I meant was that I was worried that this app would lock the screen when I am on a call which would be inconvenient...
I am happy that it does not do this and was just commenting on this in case anyone else was wondering this...
Great app, no changes necessary as far as I can see..

I just noticed something...
After a restart the background service does not start automatically for me...I have to go into the app and then the service starts... dunno if that is just me..

... also is there any way that you can make the sensitivity even less? I've got the sensitivity slider all the way to the right but I still find it a little too sensitive..

I've just noticed that you mentioned in your post that the app needs to be run again after a restart so ignore my previous comment about that issue..

Sorry for that, I actually didn't add auto-start feature to this program. I will add it in next version.

It's not a big deal really...
Loving the app by the way

Hmmm.. just checked and I'm getting massive partial wake lock with pox locker so I'm disabling it for now... hope you can resolve that issue..
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

Brilliant app, this is just what I've been looking for!
I think every phone should come with something like this, and if battery wasn't such a concern with smart phones, it'd be awesome to have the reverse work too, and the phone turn on when nothing is sensed.
I've only been using for a little while, I'll let you know how it affects my battery after a few days.
Edit: I thought it wasn't locking the keys, but that was another program I started using together with it - No Lock

I would like it to be less sensitive as well. I have a dell streak and it locks my phone while typing on the keyboard.
Besides that it's a great app!

Try the newer version
Please try the newer version.
I add a lot of preference feature into the newer version.

PoxLocker3.apk is the newer version.
in the newer version
you can set the program auto start
you can select lock delay time (how long you block the sensor)
you can select third party screen lockers
in the menu:
you can setup a white list(when the program selected in the list is running, sensor lock will not working, but the onekeylock still works)
you can easly uninstall the software
OneKeyLock.apk is a program which can call the service of PoxLocker to directly lock screen

Just tried your app. It's really great and works wonders. I do, however, find it to be too sensitive even when I set it at the least sensitive level. Maybe you could change it to be even less sensitive or make the sensor detect an object at an even closer distance if possible. Pox Locker paired with No Lock is truly a godsend.

poxlocker3 still gives me massive partial wake lock..no wonder my batt has been draining like nobody's business.. even though i ticked the 'turn off sensor after lock' option..
I've uninstalled it...

Event Log?

Okay, sometime last night my phone vibrated & made a sound that woke up my wife. She asked this morning what it was but I can't for the life of me figure out what happened. Is there an Event Log app I can download to see if something happened in the middle of the night? She says it sounded like an incoming text but I had none when I woke up. Any ideas?

Was you phone charging? Mine once it hits 100% it beeps and wakes me up sometimes.

he's right fully charged notification. I believe you can shut it off, but I can't find it in the settings. This has woke me up several times.

Sometimes I wish I could wake up as easily to as quiet and very short noise as some of the people that post on here! Then again, I'd probably never fall alseep in NYC.

It can't be shut off without framework changes, but it follows your notification volume.

The event log that your phone keeps is accessed by using logcat.
Code:
adb logcat -d > logcat.txt

There was a dialer code that brought up the option to disable it but I am unsure if it works. It's the same code to disable the lock screen and power off options menu, try searching for that. You could also try using root uninstall to remove or freeze the full battery popup apk (FullBatPopupApp). I have not, however, tried that and can't be held responsible if your phone explodes.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App

I believe the dialer code for the lock screen will disable the full battery notification. I used the code a few weeks ago to disable to lock screen and I haven't had the notification since. Unless someone beats me to it I will try and find it for you in a bit.

Need help with tethering since new update.

T mobile us, rooted unlocked, never put custom Rom on it. I used to be able to tether even when screen shut off, now once the screen shuts off the data stops until I turn the screen back on. Any ideas how to fix this besides leaving screen on?

Not yet.

Bummer.

This actually had me thinking, since google play music is running before the screen shuts off and it constantly draws data, maybe thats why it stays active even when the screen is off. So I am going to have to test this theory by loading a huge webpage on the tethered device to see if you need a constant demand for data for tethering to keep working, I suppose I could just a youtube video.
Edit: My theory panned out and may lead to a fix. This is what I did
1) Turn on FoxFi an make sure screen doesn't time out 2} Tether my Asus Infinity to it making sure the phone screen doesn't time out 3) Start a long youtube video using the youtube app, I tried a 7 minute one. 4) Turn screen off on the phone and I was able to watch the whole video while tethered to my one s
My conclusion is if there is a constant data draw the tether will keep working even when screen is off. So they have enabled a rapid cutoff of wifi if your screen shuts off with no data draw, if there is a draw the data will keep flowing.
Test it out for yourself and share your results, off to try netflix.
Edit 2: Further testing confirms this on my device, This time I used netflix streamed dark of the moon and it continued to allow the tether to work. I dont want to burn my months data out testing this so we need a few more people to try this.

I have the EU rom but I'm experiencing the same issue.
I'm using Airdroid and it stops responding as soon as the screen shuts off. I can confirm that Ready2Mosh is right, since if I turn on the web radio and then shut off the screen Airdroid works flawlessly.
I have never noticed this before 4.0.4 so I'd guess the bug wasn't there. This is a major bug that has to be fixed soon by HTC.
What about 3g connection? Does it shut off too?

Does it do it if you just use the built in tethering app?
I don't think it is really a bug with android per se vs design
that is sleeping the app as backgrounded since screen is off and not being over riden anymore.

You're right. Tethering isn't put to sleep for me.
I can confirm the issue with airdroid and other apps though. I'm going to open a new thread in order not to hijack this one.

I tried airdroid and that works fine for me though.

Known bugs that HTC must fix

I think it could be useful to compile a list of known bugs, so that we users can have a look and solve (if possible) them and HTC hopefully can bare in mind what still affects this otherwise great phone.
I'm on the EU rom, so I'm listing the bugs of the INTERNATIONAL EUROPEAN One S STOCK ROM (Firmware 2.35, Android 4.0.4, radio 1.06es). If someone is interested in listing the american version's or other version's bugs let me know and I can write down everything in this first post.
KNOWN BUGS:
1) email ringing twice: when you receive an email (just 1 email), the phone sometimes rings twice (one ring and immediately another in 1-2 seconds).
2) hung in standby: if you put the phone in standby for a long time (i.e. at night), when you try to disable standby mode the mobile network is marked as "activating..." in the menu, and actually never activates. You have to reboot in order to get network connectivity (not only data connectivity, but also the ability to make/receive a phone call) back.
3) wifi hung when screen off: wifi keeps connected to the wifi network (if wifi setting "always on" is selected), but data isn't actually transferred when the screen turns off. As a result, the app that relies on wifi (for example, Airdroid) stops responding with screen off, and instead immediately responds if you turn the screen back on (even not unlocking the screen: it's enough that it's on).
4) continuously switching between 3g and hsdpa: when trying to use the mobile connectivity (e.g. loading a web page), the phone sometimes starts switching between 3g and HSDPA and viceversa at 2-3 seconds intervals. In the meanwhile data transfer (download/upload) completely stops (e.g. the web page loading doesn't proceed). Possibly related to fast dormancy. Bug that used to affect other HTC phones in the past and that HTC solved for those with a software update.
5) htc sense keyboard's arrows showing up even if disabled (thanks to users s10shane and greeneyes513)
AND THEIR WORKAROUNDS:
1) none
2) if you enable/disable standby mode by long pressing the power button, instead of from the settings menu, it works.
3) the bug doesn't happen if there is a constant flow of data: e.g. if you put in download a quite huge file and in the meanwhile you turn off the screen, all works (not only the download but also other apps like Airdroid) until the download finishes. Other method: enable "better wifi performance" in settings menu (but this drains the battery a lot). Third method: manually activate a wake lock via third party app such as Android Terminal Emulator (don't know about battery drain but I think likely there is).
4) maybe disabling fast dormancy but this requires root access, so this can't be considered a workaround for most.
5) sometimes can get rid of the arrows by putting the phone in landscape mode, then turning the phone back to portrait mode.
What am I forgetting?

I don't have any of those so called "known issues".

besides 1, the others are present with my device

Yes, the first one is also already known. For example here (that guy mentions it as number 2).

i have an issues with the htc sense keyboard on 4.0.4. i noticed when i turn off the arrows in the keyboard settings, sometimes they show back up on the keyboard even though they are turned off (also it only turns them off in portrait mode). sometimes i can get rid of them by putting the phone in landscape then turning the phone back to portrait mode. lol its annoying as hell

The wifi bug bothers me a lot since I use a texting app and facebook messenger and my wifi ends up turning off after standby for like 5 mins

Hey Guys Flex360 found a way to disable HTC SmartSync on the EVO LTE, with a few shell commands. I whipped it up into an app in the play store HTC smartsync toggle if any one wants to try it.
SmartSync is what is disabling WiFi when screen is off

Anyhow, my problem is that I'm unable to add widgets on home screen. When place it on screen it just "loading" and then screen goes blank but widget never shows up, even after reboot. This piece of crap is only 2 days old and installed only few apps. Mine is the Z520e (Snapdragon version).
Any idea how to fix this?

A few bugs I found... Are these already known?
Often when opening the sms app, the sort menu will open by itself.
The phone reports available open wifi networks, even though I turned that feature off.

Notification about open wifi networks
I can confirm this bug. Although I have turned the notification for open networks off, it shows up in the notification area whenever I have wifi turned on and am not connected to a wifi network. That's probably not the expected behavior, so it's a (minor) bug.

I read that this may be due to not doing a factory reset after installing the lates OTA update.
I just bought the phone and installed everything, so I can't be bothered with a reset for this small inconvenience. But when/if Jelly Bean arrives, I will do a reset after installing, and see if that fixes the issues.

Not for me it doesn't. In fact I'm not sure I understand the workaround anyway! I mean, how else am I supposed to enable/disable standby mode? I only ever long-press the power button to put it in standby mode.
Mine is totally stock, supplied unlocked from Clove and about one in every four wake-from-standby, I have no data or mobile network connection unless I carry out a full restart. I thought it was me, the fact that I occasionally use it without data, or swap between PAYG and Pay Monthly (o2) sim cards, but I've just popped in another (True Mobile) PAYG sim and that's the same.
No such problems with my HTC One X+; possibly the best phone I ever bought. That's not supposed to sound conceited. In fact, quite the opposite.

i had the exact same issue, or more precisely :
I receive or pass a call. then, instead of going to the "in call" screen with the big red "hang up" button, i'm back to the home screen...
now this can happen, if i press the home button, but i don't. And if that was that, then first i would have the small "phone" logo in the upper left notification telling me i'm currently in call, and the "in call" screen would be accessible from the task manager, however the task manager displays absolutely nothing.... just like i wasn't making any call at all, except i can hear the person on the other side in my speaker.
Then i click on the big blue phone logo to get to the dialer screen, but i then get a screen which i never had before, with a black transparent background, proposing me to either use the default keyboard (if i click it i get the keyboard), either to "return to current call", and when i click it, i'm back to the homescreen... so the only way to hang up is to shut the phone down...
it's happened to me twice yesterday, but never before....
PS: just so we might find a common app that would cause the issue, i have installed on my N5 these apps :
dashclock
file manager
prochain bus
ridiculous fishing
sygic
today calendar
vlc
and thats all. Any of you have some apps in common ?

I also had the same issue during the first week or so...but with tym and aftr update the issue vanished!! Since 2014 i nvr faced this issue again!!

Hi,
I am rooted running beanstalk. But before flashing had stock rom then Purity.
This problem happened after flashing Purity ROM.
When I make or receive a call, my screen goes blank and I cannot do,anything to wake the phone, unless the other party ends the call and then the screen may wake up if I touch the screen?!
Anyone else, please help.
