Great idea! It seems every time I hand my phone to someone to look at or take a picture, the display will change and they'll say "what happened?". I'll give this app a try.

Is anyone even interested in this app?
Maybe it needs more features?

I am interested in it. I'm trying out the free version (before I buy) but I notice somethings. Maybe its just me but when I watch a movie on the default player on my Evo4G, after tapping on the screen a few times, the lock disables. I can skip through the entire movie and even get out. I'm going to try it with a different player later today.
A few suggestions,
1) It would be nice if the toggle button changed (ex. inverted colors) because when I had the movie problem, I couldn't tell if it was locked or unlocked.
2) Is it possible we can change the location of the toggle button, at least like different corners because it's too close to the home button when in landscape.
One final note, when its locked, you can still drag down the notification bar. So far its looking pretty good. Let me know if I'm doing something wrong since I've only been playing with it for about 30 minutes. Thanks.
Man, this is just what I was looking for ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431037 ). Super!
I want it for e-reading in kindle or aldiko. Tested so far briefly on Galaxy Tab 8.9 (android 3.2) and an HTC Desire (2.3.3) ... Just fine so far.
I first tried Screen Tools 2, but that one messed up the use of volume buttons for page flipping in both kindle and aldiko.
it took me a while to understand some of the options, like the meaning of "auto on toggle". Also, the toggle app shortcut only works as "on switch" for me... With touch screen disabled, the toggle can't be used to deactivate.
It also took me a while to figure out how to unlock (the use of the tiny toggle button is not documented in the settings or anywhere)
EDIT: I realize now this is what's meant by onscreen button in the settings
The option to leave the edge active is also great, although I will probably opt to switch pages with volume buttons.
EDIT: swiping pages this way works well on the tablet, but is hit and miss on the phone. The edge size may need to be user selectable?
I second the idea to color code the tiny toggle.
Great work.
EDIT: I was searching (Google) for a long time using keywords like "disable touch screen" (all about turning screen off) and "disable touch sensitivity" with no results... Until I found screen tools 2, and then very accidentally this one.

Extra feature idea....
disable touch sensitivity along the edge only, keeping sensitivity on the center
Use case: I need something that allows me to hold the tablet a bit more firmly, in one hand, which means putting my thumb in the screen just a bit.

I can add the feature to block edges only, but there is an app called grip it which does just that.
And yes, I should probably use the icon for the status + maybe done kind of animation to tell you when toy unlock vs lock the screen.

hatcyl,
This is a great idea! If only I could get it to work.
After it installs, I can't open it. The screen blinks when I click on the icon, then.... nothing. According to my file manager, the app is running, but I can't access it.
I have the exact same problem with Screen Tools 2.
I tried to uninstall, reboot and reinstall, but it still won't work.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus on ICS.
I'd really like to get this working. Any ideas?

How can I make this work on Galaxy S2? Original 2.3.4 Rom
I have no camera and search button. Where are the settings?
I have installed it, but when I press on it, nothing!
Please help! I need this application!
After buying hardware key support, on my Galaxy S2 the home (and power) bottons still work... even with No Touch active, ofc. Otherwise no problems on my device, also on 2.3.4 ^^.
Also, I absolutly need a popup window on trying to unblock, for inputing a code to unlock, optionaly and maybe only on the payed for version . It is way too easy for my 2 and 4 year olds to unlock otherwise.
Also, I agree, change the color on button when unlocking/locking No Touch.
I would like to be able to choose which tiles on the homescreen to lock. That would be just perfect.
Just tried it and it works nice. I just have one question before I upgrade. If I block the hardware buttons will I skill be able to unlock using a long press of the search key?
is there any chance to make this app lock the screen with long press home button? that would be universal for all android phones. no camera button in my s2. and also so the phone will not respond to any other buttons (ie power button)

+1
Swyped from HD2 on Dorimanx
+1 for the long press home button to unlock idea! I guess my kids wouldn't figure that out too fast (Instead of "a popup window on trying to unblock")
I have a Note N8013 and the only use for the S-Pen that I know of is hold it down and it'll take a screen shot. Can someone please let me know if there are other uses for the button besides that?
In the app quill, you press the button and then you can delete something you wrote.
that's pretty cool.. I never really check out that app yet. Need to go install it and check it out.
Also if u tap the home screen twice it brings the s note. Another one is tap the screen on the right and slide it left on the browser and goes back to an earlier page. Prety sure that it has more functions.

Cool! Thanks for that tip! Always find it funny why such functionalities are kept non disclosed. But it's fun to discover them like. Almost like small bits of treasures.
the whole GALAXY to NOTE about...counting down from 10 to 1.
Thanks all for the tips. II'm surprised there isn't a thread giving us all functions of the S Pen considering it's a the selling point of this tablet
Here you go...
Back: While pressing the S Pen button, drag the S Pen to the left to return to the previous screen.
Menu: While pressing the S Pen button, drag the S Pen down to open a list of options available on the current screen.
Screen capture: While pressing the S Pen button, tap and hold the screen to capture a screenshot.
After capturing a screenshot, you can draw on it, write on it, or crop it.
Quick note: While pressing the S Pen button, double-tap the screen to launch the Quick note function

I can't find the option anywhere in settings to turn off the backlights for the back and recent apps button. It's normally under display (like my Note 4) but it's missing.
Anyone find it?
It appears to have been removed in the debloating process. Unless it's just hidden. Hope they just missed this and bring it back in a update.

I've learned you can turn on power save mode which then disables the soft key lights. Haven't really noticed much performance drop either.
Wrote a little app wrapper to get back control of those button timeouts. Works for sure on a Verizon S6 Edge.

That's your app? Support thread link? Using it on T-Mobile non edge S6, works perfect.
Can you add an option to the app so they only light up when the actual button is touched. The S4 worked like this helps for confirmation that you actually did press the button.

I liked how it used to be by pressing and holding the back button to bring up the multi window side panel. I can't seem to find anyway to bring it up. Please don't tell me using the recents button is the only way. I liked how on the note 4 you could just press one of the multi window apps and it would open up as a pop up.

Never understood why Samsung still restricts certain apps from being used in multi windows. Back in the days, I would have to root to be able to use whatever app for MW.
With the app open, I just swipe from the very top left corner to the middle and it opens up pop up.
I haven't seen any other way to get the actual split screen though

You can open multi window three ways.
First you need to have a multi-window / split screen
compatible app open then swipe:
#1: recents long press (split screen)
#2: diagonally top left towards right bottom of screen
#3: diagonally top right towards the left bottom of screen
Good luck,
Have a great day!
Hi. Is there any way to set up my S-Pen to take a screenshot? I tend to take a lot of screenshots and hitting the volume down and the power button can be quite cumbersome. I know that you can also swipe the screen to take one too. Sometimes that doesn't work so well either. Sometimes it switches screens or moves the screen instead of taking the shot.
Every app that I see to change S-Pen buttons or gesture to open up an app, does just that. It opens up a chosen app, and that's not what I'm looking for.
Any help or guidance would be great. I wish that I can just push the button on the S-Pen and have it take the screenshot. Thanks for any help ahead of time.

it seems that you are a new Note Series user...
One main point of having a Note is Screenshot.
S-Pen feature that already been there since the first Note is Screen Write a.k.a Screenshot & you can annotate on it.
Now, you can do it in 2 ways...
Point the S-Pen on the screen without touching & press the button, then choose Screen Write
Press & Hold the button while waving the S-Pen in a Zig-Zag movement

I have my S-Pen setup to launch Screen Write. This is how I did it:
Settings > Advanced features > S-Pen > Air actions > Hold down Pen button to > Screen Write
Now when you hold down the S-Pen button away from the screen, Screen Write is launched and you can Edit, Share or just save it. Very easy.
Awesome, thank you very much. I must've had it set up wrong.

Also Pentastic with the Samsung Goodlock app will let you program the button hold double tap screen to smartselect or screen write.
