I think the title says it all. I would like shoot a long video in a fixed position, keeping the screen on is a real battery killer.
Cheers John
have you tried using a screen-off app tied to a hard button?
Yep, tried BlackMe 1.3 but that kills the camera from working. The camera doesn't seem to like working in the background. Tried just turning the screen off with the power button, hoping it would be like Mp3 players that keeps playing music.
Associate blackme to the center Dpad button, if you havent already.
Reason I suggest that, is so you can keep the camera/videorecorder in the foreground, and just hit that button to shut the screen off.
Obviously sometimes programs dont like working when the screen is off so idk if that will work.. but worth a try if you havent already (hard to tell from your response).;
If it does not, you would need a seperate video recording program that lets it record with the screen off. Dont know if those are available.
(also, hitting the power button is much different from blanking the screen .. so im not surprised the power button didnt work.)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Has anyone figured out a solution, yet? I've been wondering this since I got the phone...
Me want this too! Been searching for quite sometime but no luck. Come in handy if we want to take pic or vid discreetly, ehm..
I use a black background for both my lock screen and home screen. Just this morning I noticed that sometimes after I unlock my screen, or hit the home button and return to my home screen after being in an app, I get artifacts that pop up on my screen for a second or two. Usually on the left hand side.
They arent truly "artifacts", it looks as though its images of the icons on my home screen flashing up on my screen for like 1-2 seconds then dissappearing. I have also seen a little checkerboarding pop up as well
This is sort of hard to explain through text. I guess I'd have to record a video and post it here, but I'm at work and cant do that until later. If anyone knows what im talking about or has had this problem, what did you do to fix it?
my screen keeps going black and i have to press escape on the keyboard to resume back to the android home screen. it never used to do this before... the only things ive instlaled in twonky beam? streaming since i have noticed this
its seems to be on some form of power save or something but i cant see anything in setting that may be causing this
can anyone help?
Hi I just got my phone yesterday and when my phone screen timeout triggered it show me this(attachment) and to get rid of that I can only press to power button twice to get on to the lockscreen and unlock my phone then everything goes normal and I must say this is quite annoying. Please help me guys.
Ps:the picture is not cropped or anything it's cut and I can't read it as well.
This is it. Closed
I've started to have this problem a few weeks ago, randomly when im using the phone (galaxy S5 g900a), its not even when pressing the buttons combination, just when touching the screen, does anyone knows if this happens because of an app or something? i want to disable it is quite annoying
Btw: its not "palm swipe to capture" because i move the hand over the phone but it take no screenshots
