[App] Power Switch - screen off by closing case - Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps

Guys, im the developer of Power Switch, an app that switches off your tablet's screen when you shut the case.
The main thread can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277712
Ive had reports of problems with the tab's light sensor, so would appreciate some debugging feedback.
You can use the lite version to test, it has all the features, but just wont save as much juice.
Thanks in advance. Feel free to reply here or in the main thread, i read both regularly!

Anything to report? Issues? Suggestions?

Working perfectly for me! Thanks, this is absolutely top class.

I made this app a long time ago, glad it still works perfectly on the original tab

I have bought your application just after fafrehugen have confirmed that it works fine. Very useful for me, working perfectly in GT Gingerbread Overcome 4,00 Edition.
Thank you.

Thank you. Please consider leaving a review on the market, that helps us a lot!

Hi ftgg99. Awesome work on this app!
After testing out the free version of Killswitch, I was unimpressed due to the lack of accuracy on the original Galaxy Tab. Because I like the idea so much, I began looking into the problem myself (I'd like such an app so much, I would have developed it myself), I found out that the problem was not your approach or your app, but the light sensor implementation on the Tab itself (if I remember correctly it only has three step values 5, 22 and some other thing like 60?)
Therefore I thought that using the Tab sensor to achieve this functionality was not possible due to the reduced level of control. To the point, I think that even with night-mode implemented, the number of false positives would simply be too great using just the three light sensor steps. Also, I found out that waking up the device would not be possible while in sleep mode and just turning the screen off was not acceptable.
However, looking at this thread, I decided to test the app again. I know that no matter how well you write the code you will not be able to overcome the limitations of the device hardware, so I wasn't expecting miracles. But after installing the app I was completely impressed with the level of maturity and stability of the app. Even with the light sensor constraints, the app is rock-solid and has no flaw whatsoever.
Therefore I decided to purchase Power Switch from the market to support your efforts. This app is great! Good code, flawless implementation and incredible stability. I don't really know if it will honestly come in handy during real life usage and how many false positives my sensors will generate until I'll be fed up with them altogether, but your code, Sir, is impeccable.
I take a bow and place my comment here in respect for your work and wish to congratulate you. Keep up the good work and thank you for this awesome app!
PS: Improvement suggestion - how about shake to respond to "sensor condition met" event? For example, on ambient light low event, a shake of the device could automatically select a default action like "do nothing" or "facedown only", instead of having to tap an option. Useful when reading or watching a movie.
Regards,
C.

Why thank you. Your kindness make me blush

Well, almost two weeks later, I'm back because I got fed up with the sensors :-D
The app is solid though, and it's a keeper. I'll definitely use it on my next tablet, but I'll make sure the sensor implementation on that device is at least decent first!
Congrats again for your app and I hope you'll continue to create great content for our devices.
Peace,
C.

Thank you.

Works really well for me, I just use night mode when the sensor doesnt have enough light differentiation!

Issues to report?

So, has anyone had a chance to do some testing?

Any issues to report?

So this doesn't work properly on the Galaxy Tab based on cheatman's and fafrehugen's responses right?
That's a shame that there's no prox sensor and the light sensor sucks, I would buy this in an instant if it worked reliably.

[APP] Touchscreen Booster (Increase touch sensibility, smoothness, multitouch)

Hey xda followers!
I have a hardware problem with my Transformer since the beginning and was too lazy to change it by a new one...
My problem is that I use my device with no problem but sometimes I am loosing touch inputs...
If I let the Transformer go into sleep mode alone and unlock it, I have to force lock and unlock again to have good touch responses back...
Then I can have a good session of 30 minutes of use without any problem and then, randomly, touch input precision is lowering, until I can't use it anymore and I must lock and unlock rapidly again...
Very annoying problem for sure...
But today I decided to search through google, forums, xda, to have a beginning of solution to my problem.
And I found THE Touchscreen Booster application.
It's an application that was made for Viewsonic G tablet at the origin. The famous Bumblebee discovered it at first so thanks to him for that. And the thread talking about that is from gojimi. He modified the application to be more easily usable. So thanks to him too!
Being an android application and having titanium backuped all my applications, I thought: why not trying!
So I installed it and launched it... AND... TADAAA! Just incredible. It worked, no problem at all, no force close, no freeze, nothing.
AND: touchscreen inputs are incredibly smoother, sensitivity has been greatly improved, response time between writing letters is better, multi touch is improved... It's just paradise. I don't know if you tried Ipad but the result is that type of sensitivity...
This application can be used by all types of roms and for people who have problems with touchscreen sensitivity or just want a bigger one
Please leave here your feedback, positive or negative, and remember, do it at your own risks, I am not responsible of the potential problems after applying this application.
It worked for me, my Transformer had never been so smooth, so why not yours!
Maybe you will have to launch the application some times, when you feel that sensitivity was better before, or after boot... But you can put the application on your desktop and touch the button FixMe!
Share, enjoy, and say thanks

Well, when you launch it, there is no SuperUser action popup to allow the application so I am not sure that you need to have root access...
And, yes, it has an effect on every touch app (try writing a message before and after applying the apk or try playing angry birds, there is a big difference)

SO i gave this a shot and some aspects do seem smoother to me. None of the handwriting apps i tested were any diff as before the test.
I already had what i felt is a smooth responsive touch screen, but was curious to see if it was going to get any better.
QUESTION: when you run the app it says after hitting the calibration button "Follow the directions exactly"
I hit the button and it says calibrating screen dont touch, but no other directions.
Am i missing something here or is that the extent of the directions...
All in all not sure if it is just a placebo or if it is actually smoother. I suppose others with really bad touch response may see an effect.

No, it really is not a placebo, believe me. It was even more noticeable in my case (read my first post about my hardware problem) but even when my device was ok, it wasn't so smooth as it is right now.
For the instructions, you don't miss anything.
The important thing is "DO NOT TOUCH SCREEN WHEN CALIBRATING" because it could screw up the calibration, and if you do the opposite, the result would be that you wouldn't be able to use the device anymore, because not being able to relaunch calibration (if you have the dock, no problem at all )
That's all

So, to people who tried this application, what is your appreciation now after one week of use?
Anyone for some feedback for who has used it for about a week now?
With my TF I have a "dead" / "very unresponsive" line (about 5 mm wide) under the camera over the length of the screen.
This is very annoying when opening the market (difficult to select the search field) or when trying to tap the taskbar when the TF is rotated 180 degrees.
Sometimes it works normally, so I do not know if it is the ROM / Kernel or just unresponsive hardware.
Could this solve it?

That is a mechanical function. It is possible on android too, but it would kill the battery as you could never really put your device to sleep.

Who cares about a little battery juice? The cool factor would be awesome. Maybe as a timed option? Like 5 or 10 min. or more "auto wake" feature.

I don't, and Im sure there are others that would like the option. As a developer who is trying to sell an app you might consider not generalizing your customer, rather say its not a feature I can, or wish to add to this app. Your app does have potential. Thanks for your efforts.
Ill keep that in mind. However, as a developer with some experience i still think everyone cares. Everyone who understands just what would be happening if the teblets screen would be off but it wasnt sleeping.

I think the auto wake up function would be great! Maybe you could make it as an option, people who like it can turn it on and who doesnt like it can turn it off.....
Installed it last night. Set the Auto Shutdown to 5:00, left most other defaults on. (Enable Sensors/Use Light Sensor). Plugged into AC. Closed screen and could see screen was shutting down. After 5:00 would be off. In morning (closed screen) fired it up and at full charge.
Quite nice! Anything else I should look at in the app?
I wouldnt mind if you had a good test of the sesitivity defaults...
I couldn't get it to work on my Transformer, it would only work the first time after that I had no luck getting it to register the closed lid, nor my hand covering the sensor..

-?- What about Airplane mode on-off timer to save battery

Hi all,
I just want to know whether it would be possible/easy to develop a function for android similar to "Quiet Hours" except have the timer set on airplane mode.
With this enabled or set to desired time-frame will have the benefit of longer battery, because the transmitter would be completely or partially off..
(Subjectively speaking) Less radiation levels emitted among us (cell damage) while we rest at night, as in most cases our phones are never too far from our reach some keep them under pillow I guess.
I've searched and found nothing on the xda forums related to this topic/subject of any kind, so there thanks for reading and I hope to hear some of your opinions on this, good or bad all are welcome..
PS: Maybe a vote poll can be arranged by mods to see how this implantation will score.
Have you considered the app Tasker? I've heard it's a pretty amazing application and well worth the money.
I hear what ur saying and it sounds like a mod some would enjoy, but for us who don't want to miss a call or text we just add that toggle on our notification bar and whenever we want it, we just tap on it.... it takes 5 seconds.
And many ROMs have mods that allow u to control what u want to happen when "screen is off" perhaps u want data to turn off or wifi to turn on to save battery.
If ur not already rooted, i would suggest u do and check out different ROMs and their extras that the developers add
Good luck

I wish I could just toggle airplane mode as you described in the notification bar but have the ability to preset it within it's setting, but android has no additional features built-in to airplane mode just a simple on-off flag.

Is there a hack to make google now work when screen is off?

hi, I read that google now ("ok google") only activates when the screen is on. I was wondering if theres a hack or setting somewhere where you can activate it with the screen off? I mostly want this for hands-free use in the car, so I can avoid having to touch the phone while driving (big no no).
also, is there a site somewhere explaining all the features of what you can say/ask google now? or even a link with comparisons between siri and google now, and what google now cant do that siri does? I ask this cuz ill be coming from iPhone.
thanks.
I think that would really drain the battery - if possible!
However, here is a collection on some of the commands you can ask google now:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1961636
I'm really surprised how great it works! And i live in Denmark, where i can't even take full use of everything
samsung has had this with s-voice. and i think motorola enabled google now to do this on the motox but i'm not sure. yes it drains battery, but how much? depends on the cpu and driver and the software involved..... i don't have my nexus yet so i can't say "how" to do this but i would expect it to be an eventual custom feature if not a future update if it's not already in a setting somewhere.

hey thanks for the link. battery drain wouldn't be too much of an issue, as usually I would just use it while the device is being charged in my car, but it would be nice to use sometimes without as well, and while leaving the screen on would be nice, a slow charging car charger, is going to charge faster with the screen off, as that's usually the most power hungry lol. so it would be nice to have the voice activation at will while using.
If some of the launcher/search code was open source, I'd imagine this would be quite easy to do.
Pretty sure I read somewhere that the 'always listening' (for "OK Google" command) requires some hardware functionality. So no, it would not be possible like it is on the Moto X.

Yes. But from what I understand the snapdragon 800 has that hardware built in.

http://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/processors/800
Video is about 1/2 way down on the right. Processor is capable.
Lets see if I can't clear things up. If you want your phone to be always listening, you need hardware support for it unless you want your phone to die in a matter of hours. If you are okay with this , check out this app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.RSen.OpenMic.Pheonix It also lets you configure things like only when charging or just when the screen is on to save some battery, and its actually a very nice app overall. Worth checking out.
The Moto x has a special custom chip set that allows for this always listening. Any attempt to port that feature from the Moto x would fail, as the Nexus 5 doesn't have the same chip set. The nexus 5 however, does have hardware that allows for always listening, its part of the Snapdragon 800 SOC that powers this phone, along with the Note 3 and LG G2.
But getting the feature to actually work on our phones, even with the hardware, is by no means an easy task. Read the comments on this post if you want to get an idea for what this entails. https://plus.google.com/112424215551484520138/posts/AznwFxbBapJ
So is it possible? Yes. But it is not something that is gonna be a quick easy port of small modification of an existing app, it would take some real serious work form (maybe a team even of) good Dev's to make this function.
Sorry if its not the news you wanted to hear.

If you're plugged in/wireless charging Google Now Voice commands work with the screen off.
Settings>Language & Input > Voice Input> Enhanced Google services> "OK Google" Detection>From any screen> enabled
"responds to your voice. Works when the screen is on or the device is charging."
make sure the next option "personal results" is also enabled if you want Google Now to be able to do anything
Try this app, Open Mic+. It'll do the job.

[Q] Best "Smart Stay" app for Nexus 5?

Those of you using a "Smart Stay" app on your Nexus 5, which one are you using. This is the only feature from Galaxy S4 I miss (I kept all the other crap turned off on that phone). I noticed there's a few in the Play Store. What's everyone having the best luck with? I want my screen timeout set at 30 secs, but don't want the screen going off when I've looking at the display. Thanks for any suggestions.

Wow, nobody is using this feature? Is there another alternative people are using on the N5 to keep the screen on while readings, etc.
Thanks.

I'm giving Gravity Screen a try. It sounds pretty promising. I'm having some trouble getting it dialed in though. Any tips? What features of it are you using. I've got the "Turn off when laying flat on the table" option working well. I'm having trouble with setting it for the screen to turn off when phone is in pocket. Default angle is set at like 60 degrees I believe. However with the size of the phone, my phone is more vertical in my pocket.
I'm going to continue to try and tweak it, but thought you might be able to make some suggestions since it sounds like you've been using the app for awhile. Thanks.

Sounds interesting as well. At first glance I like the interface of Gravity Screen better, but I'll give this one a try as well. Thanks for the reply!
