When your phone is in your pocket, full volume notifications are necessary if you don't want to miss a message. But when you already have your phone out and unlocked, there's no need for them to be loud and annoying, especially if you're already using the app they originate from (e.g. message apps).
Awake/Sleep Volume Adjuster lets you set custom notification volume levels for when your phone is asleep and when it's awake.
This is my first app, so I apologize for any issues it may have, but I hope people will find it useful. Either way, it's been nice to have just for myself!
Nice idea, but ram hungry!

Aw, is it really? Bummer. For me it was on par with my other background-type helper apps I use regularly. What device/version have you tried it on?
Very useful app. Thank you!
Does this effect battery life at all? This is a great idea for an application. I hate when I almost crap my pants from a notification being too loud! I hope this app does well and has many more updates in the future.

I have an HTC Evo Design 4G which has atrocious battery life (carry around a spare in my wallet) and haven't noticed any decrease. I regularly check the battery use because I have to watch for things eating it up and it hasn't shown up yet!

Great and very usefull app Thanks for sharing
I've got a problem, when someone calls me, and my phone isn't in my pocket, but I'm not using it either, the screen turns on, so the phone goes vibrate mode, I don't know if can be fixed. Great app btw.

Damn! I never actually use my phone as a phone so that never crossed my mind. I'll look into it changing it, but right now the app simply works on whether the screen is lit up or not. Thanks for the heads up!

i really hate those
one of my LEDs is burnt out. super pissed.
I need to ask.. for those of you that do like the HW LED, doesn't it distract you in any way especially in the evening/nights/dark????
I never understood why SE designers came up with this OR for that matter what was the true intention of these LED's.
On another matter, shouldn't this thread be part of the General sub-forum instead of this Dev area?
Thanks for this info nevertheless.
what does hw stand for...???does disabling led saves battery???

This app is very good for lowering your brightness when you are in the dark,
because the default lowest setting is still very bright for a little-to-no-light enviroment.
But it has to run constantly in the background and uses a lot of CPU,
so I don't think it is wise to be used as a HW LED disabler.
But if you are in the movies and want to check your messages
without people next to you whining about blinding them with your screen, it's superb!

I think that they include it so like if u get a notification, message, text what ever u can just tell by the LED u dont have to slide to unlock it. just seems simpler,faster and easier, could b wrong but
Please tell me how tu disable this LEDs wiht this program, a don't see this option ?
Enable / disable soft-key backlight - no effect on my stock 2.1 Xperia X10 (2.1.A.0.435 + Arc Theme)
Edit:
I read somewhere that it works only on Android 2.2+ ... it's true ?
I like them as an accent piece. They don't bother me and the couple of times my phone has frozen their continued on status was a quick heads up without waiting too long.
Plus I don't pull my phone out in the theatre!
thanks for this, great app
Is there a way to make this app start on phone boot? If there is, could you tell me a "dummy-way" to do it?
Guys, im the developer of Power Switch, an app that switches off your tablet's screen when you shut the case.
The main thread can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277712
Ive had reports of problems with the pad's light sensor, so would appreciate some debugging feedback.
You can use the lite version to test, it has all the features, but just wont save as much juice.
Thanks in advance. Feel free to reply here or in the main thread, i read both regularly!
Great idea. Does it require root?
Also, it would have been awesome if it could wakeup automatically as well, like the iPad smart cover.
No, no need for root.

That is a mechanical function. It is possible on android too, but it would kill the battery as you could never really put your device to sleep.

Who cares about a little battery juice? The cool factor would be awesome. Maybe as a timed option? Like 5 or 10 min. or more "auto wake" feature.
Fortunately, everyone cares.

I don't, and Im sure there are others that would like the option. As a developer who is trying to sell an app you might consider not generalizing your customer, rather say its not a feature I can, or wish to add to this app. Your app does have potential. Thanks for your efforts.
Ill keep that in mind. However, as a developer with some experience i still think everyone cares. Everyone who understands just what would be happening if the teblets screen would be off but it wasnt sleeping.

Good idea.
Please do!
I think the auto wake up function would be great! Maybe you could make it as an option, people who like it can turn it on and who doesnt like it can turn it off.....
Installed it last night. Set the Auto Shutdown to 5:00, left most other defaults on. (Enable Sensors/Use Light Sensor). Plugged into AC. Closed screen and could see screen was shutting down. After 5:00 would be off. In morning (closed screen) fired it up and at full charge.
Quite nice! Anything else I should look at in the app?
I wouldnt mind if you had a good test of the sesitivity defaults...
I couldn't get it to work on my Transformer, it would only work the first time after that I had no luck getting it to register the closed lid, nor my hand covering the sensor..

I will be getting a note edge and currently my wife has a LG g3 and I love the knock knock feature to turn it on. Does anybody know if the note edge has a similar feature to knock or swipe the side edge screen to turn it on? If not I plan on developing an app to accomplish that, if the sdk allows.

I tried but nothing worked. Then again there may be a particular way the swipe gesture works?? I can tell you that the edge screen wakes up if you just rub it right to left.
Thx. I am going to see about building some functionality for that.
Great!
Wish I could develop apps for the edge screen...

yea it does but probably not enough to matter.
Its a standby mode. Any phone that uses knock to wake, swipe to wake, voice etc... will have the sensors in stand by.

I would say this regarding battery drain... I have not rooted my wife's G3 and she uses the knock knock feature roughly 100 times per day lets say on average. Her battery has never been less than 45% with super heavy usage. Usually around 73% by the time she gets home at 5:15.
She plays games, Keeps the brightness on 90% (no auto), checks emails/texts/IM a bunch, pinterest, facebook, keeps the gps on, bluetooth off. So I would say it doesn't drain the battery enough to complain about if barely at all. Now, maybe LG built this feature into the firmware or something i don't know about, where it doesn't need the screen and maybe it uses one of the ICs that detect vibration or something.

guys the point is that galaxy s7 goes to sleep while its on always-on screen but this app just give you a black screen and its like running an app, cpu is on and it drains battery like you are using you phone not like you are putting it aside

apk. super, but consumption battery is big some other apk. with Always on?
I used this app, I think this app might be bugging my lockscreen out. I use the fingerprint sensor to unlock my device, when I do, I have a rare, once a day or so bug that "unlocks" to a black screen. I have to force reboot my phone to get around it. I have it disabled until I can figure out why.
Very good i will try
As per topic..
anyone knows or have a single bit of idea is native always on display is ever gonna come for this device ?
7T does not have it as well. So my guess: nope.
Which is really amazing/pitiful imho
I wouldn't hold your breath...
very bumped ...
no AOD no notification lights ...
at least what they can do is make the ring pulsate in shorter intervals..
how can anyone know if there is any missed calls or msgs if the phone is not picked up.
remembered they mentioned it was coming.. in May ? June? ...

Oh really? That's strange mine is fine. I have the T-Mobile variant btw.
Pixel pulse was my go to alternative for AOD notifications but since it doesn't support 10 yet I just have to deal with missed notifications. First one plus device and probably my last. They make great devices if you SETTLE for less than what mid-range phones offer. I wish I had a Instagram and Twitter I'd call it the CEO. Tell him give us AOD if it takes up battery life that's our choice. It's ignorant honestly. Live and learn I guess. Back to LG or Samsung sadly next time I upgrade. 2 years probably
