No-nonsense app that only serves one purpose: prevent the screen from turning off while on external power
That's it. But incredible useful when you have a device that hasn't this option in the settings (like for example the Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 10.1).
BTW. I've heard that the Jelly Bean Galaxy S3 update will contain this option in the settings. Yay!

----
Technical info (in case you are interested in it): the app starts a service when the ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED intent is triggered. When the service is started a WakeLock object is created and acquired. When the power is unplugged and a ACTION_POWER_DISCONNECTED intent is triggered, the service will be stopped and will release the WakeLock object.
Ergo: it doesn't affect your battery life

Annoyed by the power button in your Android device? Forget about it with SPoB!
Now you can easily power on your device simply moving your finger over the proximity sensor!
You can choose your preferred settings* for SPoB to avoid any annoying situation (like disable SPoB if in landscape mode when texting, if a specific app is executing or if the phone is in a pocket**).
SPoB also offers a useful widget that allows you to activate and deactivate the service quickly with one touch without opening the app.
Take a look at the app stats and count how many times you skipped the physical power button. You won't miss it anymore!
*Some functions are available for the full version only
**Light sensor required

What's in version 2.0.3.2:
- New mode "What time is it?"
- Pocket control
- Improved performance
So we know that the GS4 will have several new sensors which you can see in the image below from SamMobile.
But other than Samsungs own apps (ie: S Health) what could you imagine these new sensors could be used for?.
The Air Gesture sensor may be useful to app developers that want to do more with less space, so instead of having one button with one function, that button could have three functions by using 'Air Gesture' and 'Long Press' for additional functions.
And probably not a good example but maybe we'll see some apps that could use the Proximity and temperature sensors to detect if your device is by your ear, face down on the table or in your pocket and adjust some settings as required.

I think some people will do the amazing things with these sensors. But for me, it is just complex, I just want to wait for the amazing performance.
Hi.
I assume that someone spies against me. look at these 3 reasons:
1. my notification list contains a transparenr/black icon. see image (i marked the "hole" yellow frame):

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
how can i know which app activates it? the active apps list seems pretty ok.
2. after i turn on my device (samsung galaxy s2) and wait for about a minute or so, i turn on the screen, want to draw my pattern but it screen tells me that i should wait 30 seconds, means that someone or somewhat has previousely tried to guess the pattern and failed to do so for 5 times. it happens every time i turn on the device.
3. my waze app sometimes loads by itself, even while i'm not touching the device.
what do you guys think?
Thanks!
Hi,
I'm experiencing a critical security issue on my Galaxy S6.
I see foreign unwanted accesses to my Google account every time I power on my phone (check yours here https://security.google.com/settings/security/activity )
Before reboot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After reboot:
I changed my password 10 times in the last 3 weeks. I have 2-step verification enabled since 2012.
My S6 is NOT rooted (knox flag == 0x00) and I don't use any VPN.
I called Google Play Italia but they can't help me because I already did every action.
It looks like some hackers are getting the Google authentication token from my phone (/data/system/users/0/accounts.db) using a non-public vulnerability.
My PC, my tablet and my other smartphone are safe. All unwanted accesses are from my S6.
I already wiped with Odin flash.
I charge the S22u in my bed table, at night. I would like to see the clock during night, but I don't want to have AOD always on. I thought that under modes and routines this could be defined, but I can't set a trigger condition to be "device charging". Probably this is possible with third party apps, but first I wanted to be sure that I'm not missing a way to do this with the internal features. I'm in stock Android 13, Snapdragon model.
I use Bixby routine and it works fine

This is what you need to do in Modes And Routines, go to the right bottom tab in Routines and set this exact routine. You can choose the name you want of course ;-)
jordiz86, sprov, many thanks for your answers. I could successfully create the routine.
