It puts the device to sleep after the case has been closed, similar to the iPad 2's magic case, but this app uses the light sensor to detect the amount of light after you close the case.

So if you suddenly turn off the light in the room, it will shut off the screen?

Not necessarily. You can configure the light sensitivity in the full version, and you can also use other sensors (such as proximity and accelerometer) to activate sleep

Somewhat. The light sensor is weak so I have to turn on accelerometer sensing and shake the crap out of it to get into lockscreen. But I am unrooted and it says it needs root to work perfectly, so I'm going to root and try again

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.

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.
Is there a app that doesn't lock the screen when the display turns off, I find it a bit annoying on android to turn on the phone, on symbian I just had to press any key to turn on the display without unlocking it, and lock it only using the lock key.
I prefer a app like LG G2's Knock On.

theres a kernel here what does what you want ,well i think it does
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565299
I don't want to upgrade to a CFW now. I prefer enjoying rhe phone on stock than to deal with minor hindrances which ruin the experience on a CFW, like the camera bug mentioned in the thread you quoted to.

You're out of luck then unfortunately, custom kernel is the only thing that offers it right now.

Such a basic thing that symbian had but android doesn't, I am disappointed with Google.

Just go to settings and set lock screen to none.

Wrong there is an app I've been using for a while called intelliscreen theres at least two I know definitely work i use them to stop my phone from sleeping while I'm downloading from the internet
Take a look at "Auto Screen On"

Thanks for the apps but with both the apps the phone gets locked after the screen turns off, I wanted a app that turns off the autolock of phone and just turns off the screen to save power. So I can press any key on the phone to see the screen without unlocking it each time.

I can press any key except the volume rockers which leaves the obvious power button and the home button will turn my screen on and with no lock screen it does what you want it to.

No way to disable as far as I know. Don't buy a smart cover is my only advice.

You can root your tablet and install xposed framework, there is a module called MagnetOff which disables the magentic sensor.

Does that module work with the 12.2? When I had tried it before it did not have any effect.

+1 He is absolutely correct. Ity has to have magnets. That is what trips the eletronic magnetic strip under the housing to trigger a poll on the LCD to take action.

Hi hsaltz, Yes there is a setting to turn this function on or off. In settings go to the General Tab, then under Device manager go to Accessory, then under Book Cover you will see this setting / option. I hope this helps.

That just turns off either daynote or the automatic unlock. Not the wakeup feature.

Hi Duly,
I have the official Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Book Cover. Without the option in question turned on, when I open my book cover, the screen is black, and I have to press the power button to get to the lock screen, then swipe to get to my home screen. When the option in question is turned on, and my book cover is closed, all I have to do to get to the home screen is open my book cover (I do not have to press the power button and swipe) to get to my home screen. I thought that was what the person who wrote the post was asking about. So for me my tablet does wake when the feature / option is turned on and my book cover is opened from a closed position.
I currently have the auto unlock unchecked and do not use a lock screen. Opening my book cover turns on the screen and toggling that option has no effect. I'm not sure why yours acts like it does. I even tried enabling a swipe to unlock lock screen and all that option does for me is bypass the swipe screen if the cover is used to wake the device vs the power button (which sounds to me like that was the intent of the setting to begin with).

Is there a way to flip the edge panel 180 degrees by default? It just seems like it should be flipped
Sent from my SM-N915P using XDA Free mobile app
I wish! Makes no sense the way it is, especially when the night clock is the right way up but nothing else is.
Only thing I have found to work (temporarily) is to open an app that can be rotated, then turn your phone so the edge is at the bottom, and then shut the flip cover. Now anything on the edge is the right way up. But as soon as you open an app the right way up again (or go home) then it goes upside-down again.
This is for those people that do not bother to go into phone settings. Go into the edge panel settings and check the box that says FLIP EDGE PANEL 180 DEGREES...REALLY????

Believe this is only for use with screen rotation. Maybe you should try it first before you claim you kno what you are talking about. Tried to insert screenshot but isnt working
