I need an app that can turn on the screen with a shake. To prevent pressing the power button every time. I tested this app but it interferes with my data connection, when i turn on screen with shake my data does not work , every time after turning on the screen i have to restart data.

I've been searching for something similar for the past few days, and this is what i found that might help you:
Shake - Screen Off -> app that turns screen off on shake
Awesome On Off - Smart Screen -> turns the screen on when tilting up the phone (the downside is that it seems to drain a lot a battery power)
Wake All -> You can use any physical button to turn on device (volume keys for me)
These should be easy to find in the Play Store. Hope it helps.
I used this but it interfere wuth my data connection...https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xzy.android.shakelight

tried searching various places and could only find apps that turn the screen off, but nothing that would turn it back on.
is it possible to have the screen respond to touch while completely off? or is setting the brightness super low the only way to do it?
thanks.
Why would you need/want an app to do this?
saves the battery and power button.

Yes, I use the App called: "Lock Screen"
Well, it only works to lock and shut off the screen...hopefully giving your power button a longer life time!
Just my two cents, but it seems to me that in order for the touch screen to be responsive when it's off, it would technically have to be on...right? Which would waste the battery.... I don't think the power button on the Fire is so fragile that you need an app to turn it on when it's off. If you're rooted though, you should try "button savior" in the market. It basically has virtual "home" "back" and "power" buttons.
I have been using my Jawbone 2 for a couple months on this phone. The problem I have is sometimes when I turn on the Jawbone it won't link up. There are 2 things I can do to get it to link up:
- restart my phone (then it always links up on the first power up)
or
- slide the drop down menu, turn the Bluetooth off and then back on. The only problem is that when I press the Bluetooth button it goes dim for about 30 seconds, doesn't turn off,press again, goes dim 30 seconds, then press again and it turns off. Then I can turn it back on and power the Bluetooth up and it links.
What is going on?

Bluetooth chip on the phone is ****ty! It takes long time initialize and shut down. I don't know if it takes as long as it is for you because I don't have a Bluetooth to pair with but the chip might just suck if it isn't a ROM issue.

So when my phone is locked, the home button turns the screen on. This is fine, I often use it to check the time and such. However, to turn the screen back off I have to hit the power button.
Wondering if there's a way to set the phone so that the home button turns OFF the screen too (when phone is locked)? Possible?
Now, I'm no developer, but I'd have to say not possible. Unless someone can script an app to only work when the phone is in lock mode, but that just seems doubtful.

Same situation as you, found the answer in another forum.
Ive been using this app to turn off the screen by the proximity sensor, so far working great.

you can try a custom rom to get it

It is possible when you giving up actual home button function.
Then you have to enable on-screen navigation bar, instead of hardware physical button.
This thread is over 2 years old guys. Also, if you run AOSP, double tap the status bar to turn the display off. Works on SlimKat, should be like that on CM too.

So a few days ago my phone went full retard on me for some reason and I had to fully reroot, bootloader unlock and recovery.
Anyway before all that happened the back button light on the phone stopped turning on, while the home and recent apps button still turn on. The button per se still works, but the light doesn't turn on, any help or ideas?
Try this app out... Maybe you can force it on?? Or at least turn the other lights off so it doesn't look like you have a burned out backlight all the time

Never seen this, but one of my biggest issues is the lack of a Reboot command in the power menu.
Read that 'pressing and holding' the power button for about 3 seconds will reboot the device... Shockingly, it worked!
Not a big deal probably, but it solved my need for a reboot button!

that turned off my phone inmediately instead of rebooting, still, its handy
The app Quick Boot also can function as a reboot button. It has a small 1x1 widget that you can place.
Requires root though.
