- You can wave your hand over the sensor to turn on and off as well.
- Sensor is deactivated when the phone is in landscape mode to prevent accidental reads.
- Widget (Only turns off the screen and must have device admin enabled)
- Simple UI
- Simple setup
- No ads
- Small file size
To uninstall this application, you HAVE to remove the device admin.

I am sorry to hear that, but that is just how it is sometimes, especially with multiple roms. Some devices just do not work. I am coming out with a big update later today, but I do not know if it will fix it for you. Update will have total screen control where you can turn on and turn off your screen as well as a new UI.

Thanks!!! :good:
I do have that planned one of these days, I have just been busy lately.
It works on HTC Sensation. For my opinion sensitivity is a bit low. Add function for user to change sensitivity like he want it and system control to disable unlocking if you have it in the pocket.
I was searching for something like this for two days. I have a waterproof case made for d different phone that works great, but no way to access side buttons. Old phone had one, new one does not.
This is great and works on my Samsung Galaxy Exhibit (renamed from Exhibit II by Samsung). Thank you so much, this made my day!
I have delayed the update for a little while longer. Below is a list of what it will include.
Features:
- Refreshed UI
- Ability to turn on screen by shake and turn off screen by icon
- Changeable sensitivity
Sorry for the inconvenience, but I hope to get this ready as soon as possible. Thanks
This is a great idea. It didn't work on my Atrix running CM7, but I'm going to leave it installed and hopefully the update will work.

In the mix of working on this update, I hate to say that I made a HUGE mistake on the wakelock and acquired it in the wrong method. Because of this, you will see some battery drain. Therefore, I have unpublished the app from the market until this update is ready. I am terribly sorry and will get this update out asap!!!! Forgive myself for being a noob.

Don't worry, those things happens when your developing applications and you always find something new after testings. That's why updates are. I'm sure you'll fix it soon.
Tested on huawei mediapad and its not working. Shame, combined with iseeyou app this would have been great.

So, if we just stop it but leave it installed, does it still effect the wakelock and battery drain? I ask since I will get notified when you update, although I guess you will announce it here so we will know?
I have used it far more than I thought I would, great app. Remember Lubarsky's Law of Cybernetic Entomology too.

If you stop the service, the wakelock will be disabled. I just finished doing the fixes on the update. Now I am just testing and checking the battery consumption. It should be available some time today.
And yes, always true

Can't wait for this, I use your apps any way, yeah have very high wake lock, but your apps too cool for me to disabled it

Whenever Google updates their server it will be ready . I'll add another post when it comes up.
Version 1.1 Released
- App title changed to Screen Control
- Refreshed UI
- Ability to turn on/off screen
- Ability to change the sensitivity
- Improved battery life
Enjoy!!!! Let me know if you find some bug, I tried my best to get them all.
I was going to post something about the wake lock but I see you're already on it. Excellent work! I'll download the newest version and post my review later.
Tested the new version on huawei mediapad ics, it works the few minutes after screen is off but often the service will stop and showing the fc message.
Yes, new version 1.1 on my Samsung Galaxy Exhibit (II) 4G will not respond to shake, lags like the cpu is at minimal setting with conservative governor, and then when I get it unlocked, it does an FC. I'll see if I can get a logcat of what is happening. Back to the version 1 (thanks to Titanium Backup) that I can use when I need it only.

WakeUp
With this App you can activate the screen without using the Power Button.
Review on XDA portal
1.2 Review on XDA portal
The screen turns off and the monitoring is activated when you use the Widget to lock the screen or put the device on a horizontal surface, such as the office desk; the screen turns on automatically when you lift and tilt the device towards you.
There is also an option to lock the screen when you put your phone in your pocket; in this case the screen turns on automatically when you tilt the device forward.
It's also possible to automatically activate the monitoring when the screen turns off after the time set in system options or when you turn off the screen with the Power Button.

The application uses a little battery while monitoring because it prevents the device from going to sleep; you can then set how long it will be monitoring the movement of the device: the convenience comes at a cost!
To uninstall the app you need to disable the Device Administrator.

Very Nice App
this is nice
Tested on LG-4xHD..works great..thanks
Nica app works good on Sony Xperia E!
work nicely on Xperia S, NXA v3.2 rom
wtf! I installed it and it blocked my phone. When i pick up the phone it keeps vibrating and the screen turns on and off like crazy. I can't do anything with my phone because when i unlock it, the screen immediately turns off.
I put the phone for 10 minutes unattended and it calmed down, so i had time to stop and remove this.
HTC One X, newest stock OTA.
Nice is there a pro version ?
Love it! If I still think it's this good in a couple of days, I'll definitely be buying the PRO version. (As a longtime Nexus One owner who had two power buttons go south, I still cringe whenever I have to hit the power button on any phone.)
Tested & worked on Moto Atrix 2, its almost same as pocket mode feature on some ROM's
I'm currently using an app called Gravity Screen which seems to function much the same.
So far so good tested and working correctly on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7105 (LTE). At first i was worry the screen might turn on when i put it in my pocket while walking.Well, it does not work that way. It will only turn on the screen while the phone on my hand and approach my face. Good... i like it.
i hope the next version can have screen turn off automatically while the phone put on table without motion / while in the pocket.
It works pretty good on my Sony Xperia SP Nice work...
Apart of working as it should, does anyone test the power consumption of this app?. I love the idea but afraid of my battery drain.

From the OP, I thought it was intended to function this way. It seems not, in my testing. I second the request.
I really like the idea of this app, testing it ATM (curious about battery drain).
An idea I had was the option to have an option to keep the sensors active while charging (I don't care too much about battery drain while charging and often pickup my phone during the charging).

In 8 hours of use with Automatically Monitoring Enabled, I had a consumption of about 10% more (Samsung Galaxy Note 3); I think it is acceptable to have this comfort.

KeepItOn (KIO) is an application designed to end the scourge of the screen turns off while we are reading or watching something. So annoying, at least for me…
How it works
KIO detect any small movements and prolongs the time to turn off the screen, like if you have touched the screen. Even if the screen turns off, you can always shake to wake you up during a time set by you, default is 5 seconds, and by shake I mean move slightly.
Please test it, rate it and give your feedback.
I will try to attend possible requests as soon as I can.

Thanks great idea as it alwasy annoy me when screen turns off while i am reading, willl give it a try I hope it wont consume too much battery
very useful, thank you. keep your work!
How is the battery consumption?
This goes on back process yes?
how this will affect on battery?
Thank you Sir :good: .. Works good on Lenovo A3000 with andrid 4.2.2
Will motion keep it awake if it's in your pocket and you're walking, or does it use the proximity sensor to prevent that? Will the motion of a moving car keep the screen from turning off?

Yes, this is a background process that reads the accelerometer. However when screen is off the service is running but it is doing nothing.
I am using for two weeks and have not noticed any significant change with the battery consumption.

Thanks for the app and reply, will try and post the feedback.
Is there something like this for Xposed?
"Pocket mode" added.
Due to all the requests that I have had, I decide to add a feature that check the proximity sensor in order to detect if phone is in the pocket, prevent that way that phone stay alive forever in the pocket, draining all the battery.
Please test it and help me make KeepItOn better.
Happy new year everyone!
I've previously turned on the app, set it to "auto start", rebooted & now I've noticed that it was turned off. Maybe this was only to me. By the way, great app.
sir you deserved lots of thanks from me it's great app
I can see advantages to this app and I can see disadvantages too...
Is there any way to make this "app dependant", so like it will only keep the screen on when compared to a whitelist of apps, otherwise it will leave the screen off as normal? For example, it would be very useful to have the screen stay on for reading from a browser, but not when my phone is just displaying the launcher homescreen? I know it is probably asking the earth or close to the impossible but I thought i would ask anyway
New update available.
- Notification Icon
- Minor bug fixes
This update is a big update for android 4.4.2 users since there is a bug on that android version, for that users "Notification Icon" must be always on. More info here.

The first objective of the app is the simplicity, but I will though about that feature and see if it's worth.
I've got notification icon enabled in settings but I don't see the icon in the status bar. Running 4.4.4 on a Sprint Moto X.

No. Notification run mode foreground to maintain service don't kill. You can don't need enable it but when you kill app, it need a few second to initialize service after you can use key volume.

Sorry, but 100%-of-time wake lock is no go
Can't get widget to stick on the dock, must be something with Lollipop, I have other widgets that I can add, this one keep popping back to the home screen. Thanks for trying.

Version 1.3.1
Optimizing battery.
File setup updated post #1.
That works... thanks, now... I use smartlock with my lollipop and smartwatch, can you make it so it only turns off the screen and just waits for the screen to lock on it's own? The reason I ask is if I use the button on the dock, it locks the phone similar to tapping the padlock on the home screen so I have to pin in even with the smart phone connected.
I was so excited when I saw this app. my N5 is rooted but is still stock 5.01 this wake up with volume key was one of the features that I really miss from custom roms. I been using it for about 2 days now and my battery life has been just okay so this morning I took a look at my battery stats and saw that this app was at 10% use over night. that was more then google services or my display combined. maybe its my set up or something but the battery uses was too high for me so I just uninstalled. I really hope this app is working better for others tho. sorry, but I wish I’ve taken a screenshot.

Yes, on initial install my battery consumption went up about 12 % on Lollipop typically in the morning after changing I have 96 to 97% this morning it was 84%. There were some optimizations in this last version so I will test again.
Noticed in CPU spy the phone is staying awake @ 300 Mhz for 12 hours, this is likely the reason for the drain
The phone doesn't enter DEEP SLEEP with this app...

still have troubles registering my fingerprint. dunno what happened. it was pretty good until that previous update that was suppose to improve the fingerprint reader *shrugs.

I had to remove all the stored fingerprints, do a restart, and with clean hands register the fingerprints. It's working now, one time he just wouldn't recognize anything, I had to restart the phone and worked after. But I have been thinking for a week now that it does pretty well (or I'm just used with the way to unlock, with a slight slide of the finger). But yeah, like you it was really a mess after the update! Registering without rebooting got the things even worse.
I think what they did with the previous update is lowering the sensitivity of the sensor, because before I always had "too many attempts done, please try again later" because it tried to detect fingerprint each time a part of skin touched it.
Are we going to get a new thread every month for an update? Wouldn't it be better to post in the other update thread....

Few features have been added with tweaks
Improved Stability of connecting Bluetooth headset signal (especially in AAC connection mode)
Improve background control capability, optimize power saving of native system
Improve preview speed of camera interface and camera stability
Improve zoom framing and image quality
Those are the highlights according to the update page.
Some users are reporting back that fingerprint recognition is faster, and more reliable, noise reduction is better, Album is quicker, preview and processing speed increased, and 2x zoom is faster too.
309mb update.

I haven't had the chance to download the beta version yet, so I'm even more excited to see what will be introduced to us this Thursday.
I have watched ours of YT videos about Android Tiramisu and One UI 5, but haven't noticed many changes or real upgrades that would make it attractive to me. I saw a preview of ColorOS 13' design and the quantum animation engine which looks like it will boost the app performance and usability.
Comparison video I found:

What are you expecting from this upcoming launch? I saw the teaser posts where it says "smart & connect" so I expect that we will see a feature or function that integrates the device into a wider system, maybe with the OPPO Pad. Also I think we will see a big pump in performance through the quantum animation engine
Smart and Connected is a nice hint. Connected in which way is the question
Second beta works fine

I'm on my first beta. There are some menu features that are in Chinese. Did it change for you too?

Been trying out different features, mostly the Bitmoji in AOD but it has been causing my phone to heat up in minutes. I turned it off for now but it's cute that they integrated it as a new feature.
Did you experience any overheating too?

Where did you see Chinese menu? I haven't encountered any so far.

In the new AOD settings, there are new features such as
Contextual Info which gives you options to add Music playback which opens your Spotify, and there are
Supported Apps which gives me a Chinese menu and says No data yet
I shared a screenshot below if it helps.
Sorry to hear that @E. Marine Life

I've had the beta version since the 3rd and I have had a love-hate relationship with it throughout the past few weeks, at least until the 2nd patch of updates.
I like how edge lighting is included whenever you receive notifications
Sure Bitmoji, Climate Change, and the new AOD playback is cool. I tried turning on Screen always on and within a couple of minutes, my phone was heating up - so I'm not sure how I feel about this yet
I like the smart sidebar, but I have already seen this in One UI 4.0 so it's just nice to have it here now
The media player widget section in the shelf drawer is only okay if you're playing any music. Since I don't use it, I don't like it as much since I can't remove it.
Aquamorphic still has to be seen

This is likely an improvement to PC Connect since they have their own tablet. They are all probably connected through the oppo-verse.

Check out the video I shared in the post to see a slo-mo version of the Quantum Animation Engine performance

Thanks for sharing this bro! Did you notice anything new in the second beta vs the first?

I did not see this in the shelf drawer. Are you referring to the widgets on the screen? Or the control center?

Not sure how I missed that.
Is the Quantum Animation Engine a hardware that allows that seamless transition? Or is it how they call the transition?

It's interconnectivity across their devices since they have a tablet coming out

A demo was shown in the launch last night. You can view your phone screen on your laptop and use it from there. A useful feature for when you are on your laptop and don't want to get inconvenienced holding your phone or if you have it in a bag.
