Power save app from Xperia Ray is easiest way to turn on/of power save mode.
The timer would be a good app if it alerted you at the end of the countdown
Uninstalled! Clock...Uninstalled! Gonna try the powersave app tonite and see how that works out.
i can't get into the link...can somebody post a direct link to the file please..
nvm..i got it already from here

Well I gave the powersave app a go last nite and its really nothing different than what ive been doing, but it does it all in one shot so im keeping it.
It turns off background data/wifi/animations/gps/bluetooth as well as turns brightness down to 0. I would normally do all that stuff manually (except for animations, which ive always left on) and my battery life is excellent! 2 days on a single charge easy, 3 days once.

How so? I tried it two ways, once with the screen not locked....all it did was flash the start/stop button green, didn't make any audible sound.
Once with the screen locked, it didn't even turn the screen on, make a sound, nothing.

One thing that really turns me away from Google Music is that there's no option to keep the screen on. I use a car dock and I hate to unlock the screen to change the song. :banghead:
I'm using PowerAmp right now, but I want to use Google Music. I want to like it, I really do, if there's any way to fix this please let me know.

You can use an app like Tasker to set your timeout to "infinite" when you have Google Music on. That way, your screen will always stay on as long as Google Music is running and when you exit the app your timeout settings should return to the way they were.
If you are also charging the device while in the car dock another option would be go to settings display & gestures and check the 3rd box down stay awake then the screen will not turn off while on charge. Sorry if I'm stating something that you already new just wanted to throw it out there

Thanks! I've been looking into Tasker but I'm afraid of the reviews saying it's extremely hard to learn.

I tried this before but the thing is, I don't want my screen staying on all night if something happens or it wakes to the lock screen somehow. Isn't that bad for the screen? Burning the image or something?

It's not hard to learn at all if you're only looking at basic functionality (like...if this is open, do this, this, and this). It's really intuitive. If you just play with it for like 30 minutes you'll know enough to get yourself going.

I use my phone as my alarm clock on my night stand with the app called deskclock + which has a night mode so I never had to worry about damaging the screen.
Sent from my Nocturnalized Beast
I say go with Tasker. Especially if you're going with something as rudimentary as "when google music is playing, keep the screen on" you shouldn't have any issue creating this task.
Not too familiar with the ROMs or mods available for this device, but if there's an AOSP lockscreen mod, or a ROM that offers the AOSP lockscreen (maybe through a Tweaks app?), you should get music controls on the lockscreen, so you can skip/pause from the lockscreen, without unlocking

This app is now outdated. I am going to re-write it completely from scratch. I will obviously include the standard features, but is there anything else you users would like me to add?
Very Cool ..
Thanks for the update
Cool, thanx for updating this little gem!
I used it but it wasn´t working more for me with ICS 4.0.3, so i switched to another app, but always liked the option to have the screen go a bit darker and not stay with full brightness.
Havent looked at your improved app but could you make the constant notification tick/untickable? I never experienced that the app stopped working, so i wouldn´t need this and i hate to have any icons in the notification bar
The autostart option is VERY nice to have! :good:
EDIT:
Just installed and saw there is already an option for the notification icon, great!
Working very nice so far, will monitor it and give you some feedback during the next days.
Thanx again, really nice to see this app is liked by other people as well.
Just wanted to say thanks for sharing that app....

This sounds like a great app that could be well used on certain apps that you want the screen to stay on, well done to both developers, now I am wondering as a noob and still on a learning curve, will this app work on a Galaxy GT-S5830i rooted device and what would be the best way to install.
It would be great to get some advice on this. :good:

First and foremost i want to give ALL CREDIT to the original developer of this amazing app. KeepScreen is developed by AxDroid LLC and hosted for free on the play store.
It has been forever since they last updated it and they were not responding to my emails. Their website also returns with an error so i am not sure if the company is no longer in business or if they just abandoned the app. (Its ashame honestly i love this app)
But there were a few quirks with the app. For instance, the app had to be manually started every single time you rebooted your phone.
Secondly i read people experienced the app would just stop working.. (I havent experienced this at all yet) But im guessing its due to android cleaning things up to free RAM.
Well i took it on myself and i was able to fix the first issue. After first launching the app and selecting the applications you wish to always have the screen stay on, and then launching the service, after a reboot the app will start again and you dont have to manually start the service.
The second issue i am currently trying to solve by placing a constant notification in the status bar. That is the only way to keep android from cleaning and killing processes.
The app is truly amazing, i have the Galaxy S3 and it has that "Smart stay" thinger where if you are looking at the screen the phone will stay on, well when im watching TV and i look up from my phone for a single second, they screen shuts off. I hate that, so i actually just use KeepScreen, set what apps i wish to always stay on, and then they stay on so long as that app is open and displayed on the screen.
Just download and install using a file browser.

Yesss this is what I have been looking for so long and I am supper excited to get this on my note that I am getting back tomorrow
It work on my Neo V. TNX
Just two points for me:
Adding a widget to enable and disable the service and it would be fantastic.
Stopping the service when the screen is turned off (or alternative) because I saw my screen turn back alone (synchronization of a monitored application?)
Thank you for your work.
will try it , i was waiting for this kind of application , thanks

It has a listener receiver for screen off. Sometimes if you have an app open that you set to stay on all the time, and you manually shut it off, it turns back on. That's just because the service didn't shut down fast enough.
And I don't have source code. I doubt I could add a widget.
However I could write my own app that force close the service. (Almost like a task killer) but it won't be able to start the service.

I really loved this app when it first came out, but it fell by the wayside for various reasons.
Thanks for picking up the slack here! You'd think this is something they could actually build into android at some point. Apps that when on-screen don't let the phone blank the screen.
Tried it and it works great! =)

Ok Thanks for the reply.
I like this apps, it keeps my google map always on. However I need to manually start the apps on each power up. Any way to have an option to auto start? Second nice to have feature is to sort these apps selected at the top.

It seems Sony has removed several usefull functions from the current ROM compared to the ROM presented at the Mobile Asia Exo 2013, for example:
- removed some watch faces (digital face with date)
- removed the Music widget
- removed the automatic brightness adjustment (there was an additional click box at the brightnes setting)
- removed the backlight activation by acceleration sensor.
please see this video. The Sony product manager is actually saying "it takes movements" and she shakes the watch to activate the backlight.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUi1Ai7rPj0
I would expect to have more functions on the new watches and not less functions. If some functions cause higher battery drain, then there should be an option to deactivate them in settings but not completely remove them. I suggest Sony quickly offers a ROM update to inlude these very important features!
that is just weird, i want all those three functions back
I just got mine and I am seriously disappointed that those features are gone.
I bought the watch based on Expo presentations.
Not well, Sony, not well.

Same...
I need all those things.
Why would they drop these things from rom. I just hope that they will be back asap in new firmware....
I wonder if this has something to do with the delay of the Smartwatch 2. I can see the "shake for screen-on" feature might have been removed, for battery related reasons (Also keep in mind, they worked together with Runtastic for app compatibility so chances are constant movement while running was keeping the screen active) but I don't see why they would disable the others.

Even considering the Runtastic collaboration I cannot see a reason for Sony not to put a toggle in the watch's settings. Just like for vibration, for example.
I just got it today from the Sony store.
Phew, thanks for clearing my wonders.
I couldnt place what that little sensor above the screen was and assumed it was for light.
Thank goodness they took those function out, I wouldnt need them.
Totally just need to have a sensor so I could brag to my friends.
Got my SW2 and I'm pissed its missing the stuff you see in videos and screenshot all over the web... Like digital clock with date and music widget. They hype it with feature and then remove them for the launch ? I hate the poor choices of watch faces I hope they give us an update soon or release details to create our own FW

As I noticed last night the Smartwatch 2 app was updated and the firmware of the watch along with it... But I can't see any differences except from the gradual fadeout of the backlight.
Too bad...
I want music widget and shake to light...
I don't know what do with removing such a main features of SW...
I through i buy watch with bug,but now I know that Sony broke our devices removing this options...

No Google music with poweramp. Great for the music I already have, but play music is becoming real handy.

Yes you can.
But it's not that easy as having a classic widget with the three backward/play-pause/forward buttons.
It's an app where you can pause and change song, but only in the album selected on the phone (meaning that you either listen to the album you've already chosen on the phone over and over, or you'll eventually have to pick up your phone and change album), and the watch doesn't actually give you the list of songs, instead it shows you the cover art of that particular song/album and you can swipe left or right to change song (making it a PITA changing from, say, song 1 to song 45 if you have a compilation).
It works, but it definitely could be waaaaay better.

Not sure, they removed Other OS from ps3, ps2 compatibility also and never returned them. because **** users!
I've just purchased an SW2 and I'm so far pretty happy with it. My main reason for getting it is to use it with Runtastic while training. The screensaver/clock activates after a few secounds and this is kind of a pain. While training I just want to peak at the watch to read my heart rate, speed etc. I've tried to google and searched this forum and can't seem to find anything about this. Anyone know if this is at all possible?
Untill runtastic updates its app to support low power mode the only solution is a double click of the button. This will start the last app in use - in your case runtastic.
I also find it impractical, but it is up to runtastic.

I think we're almost there. Togheter with for example Polar H7 I get reliable HR readings.
Only two things needs to be done her:
The first is the most important: Make the app say on the screen.
Second, I really would like to be able to build my own screen, so I can see HR, distance and time on the same page.
Tweet @runtastic and ask for low-power mode.
