Awesome app, must try! Gravity Screen Off

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenofffree
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.

Tap to wake - aka PGM - KnockOn

Lets Get this Note 3 party started!
The LG G2 has the knock on feature by stock default, called "KnockOn" since it has its only buttons on the back.
I currently run an app called PGM along with Fancy Kernel on my Galaxy Nexus this provides the same functionality.
Phone on desk in sleep mode, screen off. TAP TAP! on the screen and she wakes up.
Hoping we see this implemented on the Note 3 as its a feature that everyone loves and uses all day long.

Does your Galaxy Nexus suffer battery loss because of using that feature?

Sounds cool, I wouldn't mind that feature does it require root?

It will very likely drains the battery a bit

I have installed it in my brothers nexus 4...app is called touch control
Battery drain is very minimal
Needs root and custom kernel

The Note 2 and 3 has a home button that will wake the screen, so I see no need for me to use a knock-on feature..

I have it right now on the Note 2 using a different kernel and trickster mod app. Only issue is that if your pants have a thin inner liner your leg will turn on the phone. Same thing happened when I first did it on the Verizon Nexus. So it's not phone specific.

I'm sure that issue can be rectified with some enhancmenets for example :
- While Offscreen, reduce screen sensitivity
- If Offscreen AND touchwake event occurs, check light and proximity sensor, if both are dark and proximity==1 DO_NOT_WAKE_SCEEN
- Etc.
As for the dude who said the home button wakes the screen, that might be true,
but When you handle the Note with one hand, it is very uncomfortable to click the home button, skipping it would be awesome.

There was no appreciable drain on the galaxy nexus.

sounds interesting going to give this a try. As so for why we need it when we have a physical button? Because of its size. You don't have to reach all the way to the bottom to press the home button.

I would like to have it in my Note 3 that has sview cover. I like to knock the s window to open. I don't like to touch the hard keys all the time.

I really hope Samsung implements this natively.
was hoping someone on XDA would come up with an app or something
(do I really need to flash a new Kernel for this? :/)

This would be cool, it would also extend the life of the hard keys.
RoloRacer on Note3 N900A

Yeah hope they put it in natively

is there anywhere we can put forth suggestions to Samsung? haha
I really don't understand why aren't the companies making more use of gestures on the phone...
double tap at the top of the screen to scroll to the top
double tap at the bottom to scroll to the bottom
etc

Yeah if its in a custom rom or kernel then it must be good
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

But isn't clicking the home button (1 click) more efficient than knock on (two clicks)? From what I've read about knock on on the LG g2, it's not awfully reliable as well.

[Q] Wake up scree by pressing Samsung Logo

Hi,
Can anyone help me with an app that would allow waking up the Galaxy Note 10.1 by pressing the Samsung Logo or the screen portion above the Samsung logo?
The power button is not very accessible because of the cover.
N* Yes there is a typo in the title but i need to delete and recreate the post to update the title so.....
Thank you,
Daniel

Nice answer, something serious now?
I'm not saying to turn on the screen by pressing plastic, just by pressing the bottom part of the screen instead of the power button.

i read somewhere about double tap to wake
but i think it was in 4.3

This works for my droid razr when I tap near the earpiece/logo but it doesn't work for my note 10.1. Maybe I'm tapping the wrong place. Try it out.

An App alone wouldn't be able to do this- you'd need a kernel change, too. The kernels as shipped don't allow the touchscreen to be used as a wakeup source out of deep sleep, and the only way to fake that to happen means polling- and that means you'd kill your battery in short order.

I have found a solution for this, as the tablets don't usually come with a Proximity sensor, i have found apps that use the light sensor to wake the tablet:Automaton is one. Still a little bit glitchy or maybe i just did not have time to go through all the settings, but it does the job.

Please report back after you've used this for a while- I'll bet it kills battery life ...!

Is there a kernel that supports "wake with volume button"?

4.4.2: Spen icon in the notification bar

Hi, I was able to remove that silly spen icon in the notification bar in 4.3 by using quick shortcut maker and finding the page or site buddy. After upgrading to 4.4.2 that icon returned. Furthermore the page buddy crashes at once it is called.
How can I get rid of this silly spen icon in 4.4.2? Any ideas?

Just put some electrical tape over the top corner of the screen so you can't see it.

SPen icon is there to remind you that you have detach your SPen from the phone. It is easy to get distracted in busy world, and that litle thing is there for that one specific helpful reason.

Do a factory reset if page buddy keeps crashing - OR remove it via Titanium backup and have someone give you the files and push them into the system (this might not work though)

The Wacom digitizer uses battery. I want my indicator in case I set the pen down and continued using my phone. The pen insertion/removal sensor is more about activating/deactivating the Wacom digitizer than it is about warning keeping track of your pen and the symbol helps too.

You're working on the misconception that the Wacom digitizer is switched on/off depending on whether or not the sPen is inserted.
It isn't. Try using a different Wacom pen on your screen with the Note's pen still inserted. You will find it still works fine.

The 180 option is normally not set as default, but can be activated under Settings/Display/Rotation/

Found that setting under accessibility tab. Just will not give function to turn tablet upside down. My wifes 10.1 2014 edition does though. Anyhow using Ultimate Rotation Control from play store seems to be working with that.
