My son loves watching cartoon on YouTube on my phone, but he's only 19 months old and always exits YouTube accidentally.
Is there an app where I can lock the screen and all the buttons without the screen turning off?

Thanks. Could you please send me a PM if you find it
I might suggest kid mode. It has a preset selection of games and videos as well as painting and reading. It has a child lock feature, and it emails weekly updates on what my son has done and copies of his drawings. You can also authorize the apps on your phone to be used during it too, so if there is a certain game that he enjoys, it will be on his list. My son loves monkey preschool lunch box, but he's 3.

Hi all
I must say I love this tablet. My only annoing thing with it is that the screen seems to turn off in 30 sec after I start watching some flash content from either yahoo ir thw other one.
Can someone help me this?

Go into SETTINGS then DISPLAY and change the screen timeout setting to something longer

Thats not what i was thinking of. On my Sensation or HP Touchpad, i dont have to do something like that at all. All i do is start viewing a flash video either from youtube or another streaming page and the screen doesnt go off untill the video is over.
Thanks for the tip though. I was doing it already till something better comes along. Its just so annoying going back and forth to settings/display everytime i want to watch something online.
Does anyone else have a solution for this problem?

I have the P5113 and have had this happen. I fixed mine by the screen timeout and/or use a different browser. Due to the flash Android issue watching flash doesn't over ride the sleep timer, just like music you have to change the sleep timer. I have had luck with firefox not sleeping as well as UC.
Thank you all for your suggestions. I have one more question. Do people that use cm10 or aokp as rom have the same problem?

So, after getting my Note in August, and using it for email and Internet, I've finally been checking out what this thing can really do. Supposedly, I can switch pens (after creating pre-set pens in S Note) by pressing the S Pen button. Well, sometimes this works. Mostly, it doesn't. I've tried pressing hard, pressing softly, holding the button down, close to the screen, on the screen, away from the screen. Doesn't matter.
When it does work, which is maybe one out of every thirty tries, I can't figure out why. And then, once it's switched to the next pen, that's it. I can't switch again.
Anyone else experience this? Might this be something I can adjust by turnig the little screws under the button?
Update: Tried this on a coworker's Note 10.1, and he's having the same issue. Even tried switching S Pens. No luck.
Just another bug in the new SNote, if this is the only flaw you noticed consider yourself lucky! I have the same problem in the main app as well, the toggle between pen and rubber in the small mode is working great though. Does that work on your device (hold the button and double-tap the screen to get up the small SNote)? If it does, at least you know it's not you nor the hardware.

Wow, I didn't even know it did that. Yeah, that works fine. Thanks!
'Nuther question: Is the pen switching thing supposed to work only in the new S Note (on Jellybean), or was that supposed to be a feature in the ICS version, too? I'm having some trouble finding specifics about new S Note features online. Lots of articles refer to "enhanced S Note features, " but very few say what they actually are!

As far as I can remember toggle between pen and rubber is supported even in ICS SNote but not toggle between your favorite pens. Ie, just like it works at the small quick note app now. But I'm not sure to be honest, that wasn't a feature I learned to use since I only had that SNote a couple of days before upgrading to JB.
I'm sure you already know this, but if you haven't consider giving LectureNotes a try!

Yeah, I've checked out Lecture Notes. Even tried Evernote for a few days and was pretty excited about it. But I mainly use S Note for journaling, not note taking. And the ability to slap a picture, video, or map in there on-the-fly, is pretty awesome. I have a three year old, and you just can't beat how easy it is to stick a video or audio recording in your note.
If I was using this in school, I may feel differently.

I have to agree with you, SNote is a quite awesome app! It's to bad they have messed it up in the last version, however I think it's just a matter of time before there'll be an update that solves most problems including the one you experience with the button.

So weird... this is working for me now. I think maybe my pens were so close to each other that I didn't realize it was working. I don't know. But I went in and created 7 pens, of the colors of the rainbow, so I could be sure I knew if they were switching. And they do. And when it reaches the end of the list, it switches to the eraser, then starts at the beginning of the list again.

Strange! That didn't work for me but I've noticed there is a couple of different SNote version that at looks the same depending on what android you're running so they might have fixed some bugs on your. Good for you

I find this most useful feature doesnt work reliably within s notes, it changes the brush preset only about once every 10 presses of the s pen button, however if I take a screen shot then the feature works perfectly when drawing on the screen shot!! Why is that?

Same here, also it works perfectly every time when using the small quick note as I told in a previous post. Why? Because the new SNote is ****, that's why

make sure your pen is close enough to show the hover when you press the button

Nope, that's not the problem here since it's working just fine at the quick note app even if it's just toggle between pen and rubber in that particular version. So the pen nor the handling it aint, it's just an SNote bug that seems to appear in some versions of SNote.

This app uses your phone's motion, gravity, and proximity sensors to automatically turn on and off your screen so that you don't have to press any keys (software or hardware).
For instance, when I put my S4 inside my pocket or holster it to my belt clip, the screen turns off automatically. When I take the phone out, the screen turns on automatically as well.
I've tried a few apps similar to this before but this one just works very well and consistently.
I already installed it on my mom's and wifey's S2s and they love it too~! Just wanted to share the goodness~
Wow it is pretty impressive! Thanks for sharing. .

No problem. I figured there must be others who will find this kind of app convenient to have around. I just love not having to press the home or power button every time I want to turn the screen on.
Any hit on battery performance?

The author of the app said to expect a hit about 5%. I've been using it for 2 days now and I haven't noticed any difference so far. But then, I'm running on the ktoonsez kernel with -50mV, all-around.
Freekin love this app
Thanks for the heads up op! works like a charm, now I've got to get used to not pressing my power key on wake
****'ll Buff Out
Sweet app....I noticed I had to lower the sensitivity while my phone was in my mount while driving. The screen kept coming on.
Nice catch. Love this app.
This is exactly what I was looking for!! Thanks for the find!

Very nice find, bought the pro version right away, this is awesome but does anyone knows if there's something you can do so when you put your phone face up on the table it lock it without waiting 5 secs?

The only time the screen turns off on me when I don't want it to is when I text and I accidentally rest one of my fingers over the proximity sensor by mistake. Otherwise, it's been good. I wish there was a time-delay option for proximity sensor to turn off the screen so an accidental finger covering up the proximity sensor doesn't turn off the screen right away.

I see. It's an extra step but you could pull down the notification menu and pause the app before gaming then turn it back on afterwards. My mom tells me that sometimes when she's watching Netflix, the screen turns off on her. I told her not to cover up the sensor but she just disabled the app.

No. I got 4x for 16 seconds in 12 hours. But for as awesome as this app is I can live with a 5% hit any day!!

Thanks! This fits the bill, the other drivers on the road thanks you too!
According to GSam battery monitor, Gravity Screen Off is responsible for only 0.2% battery drain. I haven't noticed any extra drain because of this app.
I would like to use this to make teaching videos like this one
https://www.khanacademy.org/math/pr...equations/parametric/v/parametric-equations-1
would that be possible with this tablet?
You just need a screen recording app or some kind of software to do so. There are some out there, though I've never used them

Try Lecturenotes,lecture videos,lecture recordings.

Wanam exposed. In there choose add screen recording to power menu. Boom. Hold the power button and start a high quality recording straight from the popup. Easy free amd fast. I dont think it does audio but thats easy to add with any number of apps.
