I'm looking for an app that will control on a per app basis if autorotate is on or not. I had a jail broken iPhone and was able to do this but no luck finding anything for Android.
Also I am looking for a solution where the screen doesn't turn off ever but simply dims to its lowest setting until touched again. Again something I had with apple.
Tasker may be able to do that for you.

that works great...ty.
One more, CyanogenMod has settings that has quiet hours that allow for manipulation of sound/led/screen based on time so it would turn off all when its night time automatically.
AutomateIt...... its free.

Timeriffic is great for that as well.

I need something that will cycle the wifi on my phone on and off at either set times or on a timer. I didn't notice anything in the market for this. Does this exist anywhere?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
tasker can do this i think
Ah cool I think this will work nicely. Thanks, didn't think about an automation app.

How would I go about setting a check that would make sure the wifi radio is turned on every fifteen minutes. I need to keep it on even if someone turns it off. I think I have a profile set up to do this, but it only turns it on once. When I turn it off manually tasker never turns it back on. This task stuff is warping my mind haha.

I don't see a stay awake mode while charging under development in settings... Any one know how to keep the screen on while charging??

Look for app "stay awake" in the market.

What is the purpose of staying awake?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
probably to stop the screen from turning off while you're using the phone when it's plugged in.
It also seems useful when reading stuff online. There are so many times when I'm reading a really long article or something and since I'm a slow reader I have to keep slowly scrolling down the page every time the screen dims to make sure it doesn't turn off.
Yeah. I like the screen automatically cutting off sometimes, but when I'm reading stuff and I just happen to not read as fast as Samsung wants me to... poof... a black abyss.
One thing that really turns me away from Google Music is that there's no option to keep the screen on. I use a car dock and I hate to unlock the screen to change the song. :banghead:
I'm using PowerAmp right now, but I want to use Google Music. I want to like it, I really do, if there's any way to fix this please let me know.

You can use an app like Tasker to set your timeout to "infinite" when you have Google Music on. That way, your screen will always stay on as long as Google Music is running and when you exit the app your timeout settings should return to the way they were.
If you are also charging the device while in the car dock another option would be go to settings display & gestures and check the 3rd box down stay awake then the screen will not turn off while on charge. Sorry if I'm stating something that you already new just wanted to throw it out there

Thanks! I've been looking into Tasker but I'm afraid of the reviews saying it's extremely hard to learn.

I tried this before but the thing is, I don't want my screen staying on all night if something happens or it wakes to the lock screen somehow. Isn't that bad for the screen? Burning the image or something?

It's not hard to learn at all if you're only looking at basic functionality (like...if this is open, do this, this, and this). It's really intuitive. If you just play with it for like 30 minutes you'll know enough to get yourself going.

I use my phone as my alarm clock on my night stand with the app called deskclock + which has a night mode so I never had to worry about damaging the screen.

I say go with Tasker. Especially if you're going with something as rudimentary as "when google music is playing, keep the screen on" you shouldn't have any issue creating this task.
Not too familiar with the ROMs or mods available for this device, but if there's an AOSP lockscreen mod, or a ROM that offers the AOSP lockscreen (maybe through a Tweaks app?), you should get music controls on the lockscreen, so you can skip/pause from the lockscreen, without unlocking
Hey guys,
Sometimes I have been reading books at night or browsing the web and the screen is way too bright even with the brightness set to minimum...
So I found this very useful app that dims the screen even further called SCREEN FILTER. It was very useful to me and thought I would share.
You can find it on the play store.

I've also used it, and it works OK.
But does anyone know if there's a way to customize the "auto" brightness settings?
great app, thanks

Another choice, If you are rooted your phone "rootdim" working better you can find it on playstore

yes there are certain apps/widgets that can dim your screen below the lowest setting in you settings menu.
combine that with the screen filter app and you're on a roll!
you can also use 'juice defender ultimate' to tweak the brightness settings of your phone and no root is required for that.

I've just purchased an SW2 and I'm so far pretty happy with it. My main reason for getting it is to use it with Runtastic while training. The screensaver/clock activates after a few secounds and this is kind of a pain. While training I just want to peak at the watch to read my heart rate, speed etc. I've tried to google and searched this forum and can't seem to find anything about this. Anyone know if this is at all possible?
Untill runtastic updates its app to support low power mode the only solution is a double click of the button. This will start the last app in use - in your case runtastic.
I also find it impractical, but it is up to runtastic.

I have same problem too, that is why uninstall Runtastic for now.

I think we're almost there. Togheter with for example Polar H7 I get reliable HR readings.
Only two things needs to be done her:
The first is the most important: Make the app say on the screen.
Second, I really would like to be able to build my own screen, so I can see HR, distance and time on the same page.
Tweet @runtastic and ask for low-power mode.

I would also like to see Runtastic support low power mode, definitely worth contacting them to ask.
