how to disable auto sleep - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to completely disable auto sleep, but I can only set for when device is charging to not sleep with the developer options, but even with that option enabled, the device will always auto sleep if you face down the device (proximity sensor?)
Are there any program or anything that can do that? I mean disable it completely, setting it as manual (only power button)
Please help I need it for an app, thanks! :highfive:

try App Settings if you're rooted and have xposed, set your app to "keep screen on"

Automatic brightness gets disabled.

Guys,
I always keep the auto brightness on my phone enabled. And also the power saving mode enabled. What I noticed on my phone is, when I plug it to a power source and unplug it, the automatic brightness gets disabled. Any one with same problem? Any solution will be appreciated.

[APP][2.2+] Gravity Screen > Turn Screen On/Off Automatically - Keep Screen On

I was tired of pressing the power button whenever I need my phone for a second. Thus I created the Gravity Screen Off app which can turn automatically the screen ON when I grab my phone and turn it OFF when I put it into my pocket or onto a table. Basically, no need to touch any button and you are ready to go.
HOW IT WORKS:
The app turns the screen off by monitoring the orientation of the device through the gravity sensor. When your phone is pointing downward by its top, below a certain angle, it's likely to be out of use. In this situation the proximity sensor is activated to determine if it is covered. If yes, the screen turns off because probably you placed the phone into your pocket or onto a table.
The screen turns on when you lift up your phone. The phone wakes up if the proximity sensor is uncovered or if it was not covered the app is looking for movements to detect the action.
The Keep Screen On feature based on screen orientation and motion detection as well. If the device is pointing upward and small movements are detected it's probably held in hand and the screen timeout is extended.
MAIN FEATURES:
- Pocket Sensor: Recognizes if your phone is in your pocket. By turning your phone below the angle you set, it'll prepare to turn the screen off.
- Table Sensor: Detects your phone is lying on a table and turns the screen off.
- Turn Screen On by Motion: If the screen is off and it's facing up the device can be woken up by any movements (ex. lift up by hand) according to the sensitivity set.
- Keep Screen On by Motion: It's a Screebl like feature but it's relying on the small movements you are doing by your hand while holding the phone. If small motions are detected while the screen is facing up the feature keeps the screen on because it can be suspected that the phone is held and probably you are reading something. If the phone is steady the timeout will work as normal in any position you leave your device unlike in another apps.
- Turn Screen On by Proximity: Turns the screen On when you take your phone out from your pocket and Off when you put it back. By swiping your finger over the proximity sensor the phone can be woken up as well.
- Turn Screen Off by Proximity: If the device is pointing downward it takes the proximity sensor into account. By turning this off the program will rely only on the gravity sensor.
- Tasker, Llama, Locale supported by plug-in.
- 3 widgets/shortcuts: (available in Unlocked version)
(i) pause/resume
(ii) turn screen off: It's like pressing the power button
(iii) turn screen off persistently: turn screen off and keep it off until power button is pressed. It's good when you have to keep the phone in your hand or while driving and do not want the screen turned on by the app. After pressing the power button it will work as before.
- Power Toggles plug-ins
BATTERY USAGE:
You can set the app to minimize the energy consumed by the screen and by this you can extend your battery life. Or you can extend your own life by using another features of the app In the first case the battery usage should be not significant. I experienced about 7 per cent extra consumption on the test device. However it can be higher if you are activating often the Turn Screen On by Motion feature by leaving your device face up on table and you set a relatively long timeout for the feature. Read FAQ [4] for more details.
IMPORTANT
On some devices if it's lying face down the alarm clock is switched off by the app after it had gone off! Please check if it's the case for you. If, yes, use a third party app, for example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vp.alarmClockPlusDock

Gravity Screen - FAQ
Hi,
thanks for your feedback.
[1] Q: The screen not always turns off when I put my phone into my pocket, why?
A: The proximity sensor not always accurate. It can fail recognizing some materials specially if they are very close to it. If it happen occasionally, probably it's still worth to use the sensor. But even you can eliminate the accidental turning on by selecting the False Turn On Protection in Pocket option.
[2] Q: The Table Sensor not really works for me when I place my phone onto a table face down, why?
A: This issue is quite common. The first problem is that the free version is limited to 15 degree. If you are turning your phone fast downward the proximity sensor is activated only when it's very close to the table. Many proximity sensors cannot judge distance accurate if the object is too close to it. This is the reason the screen remains on often. And even more the reliability of the sensor depends partly on the material as well. Thus if you are using the free version it's recommended to place your phone onto a table not too fast and try to keep it parallel to it. The paid version allows you to increase the angle and by this the problem is significantly reduced. Moreover, the problem can be reduced by selecting the False Turn On Protection in Pocket option.
[3] Q: Why does the Lying Face Up feature turn the screen off regardless I'm tapping the screen?
A: Due to Android security restrictions a running service cannot detect if the screen was tapped. If you want to continue using the device you have to swipe over the proximity sensor to keep it on or turn it back on.
[4] Q: I'm experiencing high battery usage, why?
A: The app should use about 6 percent extra energy per day if you are not using too much the Turn Screen On by Motion feature. If you frequently lay your phone face up on a table and the Turn Screen On by Motion Timeout is too long, the battery consumption can be much higher. Because the CPU has to be constantly analyzing the data of to acceleration sensor to catch the movement when you lift up the device. Thus if you want to reduce the battery usage it's recommended to keep your phone often lying face down when it's on a table. Because in this situation the proximity sensor is responsible for turning the screen back on which uses much less energy. Moreover, please, keep in mind that the android en-built battery consumption measurement can show much higher results, because it shows the battery usage relatively to another apps. If the phone was not in use or the measurement period was short, it looks like my app uses too much energy however there was not too much energy used all together.
[5] Q: The Keep Screen On by Motion feature does not work for me, why?
A: It can be the result of battery saving processes on your device. Ask for support from the app in this case.
[6] Q: Turn Screen On by Motion feature does not work for me, why?
A: It can be the timeout of the feature is expired, in this case you have to increase it within the app. Or it can be caused by battery saving methods by killing the service of the app. In this case you have to turn off battery saving methods of your device. Please visit: https://dontkillmyapp.com/
[7] Q: The screen turns off in landscape mode, why?
A: This issue has many different solutions. You can make the Pocket Sensor Angle smaller or if you have the Any Direction feature ticket, you can pause the GS app temporally. There are ways to pause it: 1. tick the Landscape mode feature; 2. using the Locale plug-in by Tasker or Llama; 3. using the Menu - Exclude apps option.
[8] Q: It gives me a huuuge wakelok, why?
A: The wakelock is necessary for the "Turn Screen On by Motion" feature but if you turn the screen off through the proximity sensor (i.e. put it into your pocket or place face down onto a table) there won't be wakelock held. So if you want to reduce the wakelock try to keep your phone face down. Moreover, you can limit it by the Timeout scrollbar as well but this means you will loose the feature after the timeout you set.
[9] Q: I'm prompted to type my pass code immediately after screen turns on.
A: You have to enable the Fingerprint, Smart Lock Support option in the app.
[10] Q: It makes a buzzing sound when listening to music and stuff. Can you turn it off?
A: Due to a hardware problem the proximity sensor is causing the buzzing noise on Nexus 4 when it's active.
At the moment I can recommend some changes in the settings. If you turn on the Headset support and connect your headphone, you are able to turn off the "Turn Screen Off by Proximity" and "Turn Screen On by Proximity" features independently from the state when headphone is not connected. The app will remember this and always turn off the proximity sensor when headphone is connected.
[12] Q: Will you add an option to scheduled the app to stop it for night hours?
A: Not really. Please, use the Locale plug-in in Tasker or Llama;
[13] Q: Why my alarm clock does not work?
A: Unfortunately many alarm clocks cancel the alarm when the screen turns off. It can happen if you leave your phone face down at night and my app turns the screen back off when the alarm goes off. The app is trying to detect the alarm event and pause itself, but it's not possible with all alarm clock apps. Thus it's strongly recommended to test your alarm clock with this app.
You can solve this problem by using a well written alarm clock, for example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amdroidalarmclock.amdroid, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vp.alarmClockPlusDock,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.bitspin.timely, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amdroidalarmclock.amdroid, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alarmclock.xtreme.free.
[14] Q: The screen turns on during driving. How to avoid it?
A: The simplest method is to pause the app before driving. There are different widgets in the app for this. Or if you are driving often you can use the Power button support feature A more advanced method can be to pause the app when the phone is connected to the car by bluetooth and resumed when disconnected. You can do this by Llama via the Locale plug-in.
[15] Q: The notification not responding/disappearing when I try to pause/resume the app from the notification area, why?
A: Please try to un-tick the NOTIFICATION -> LOW PRIORITY option in the app. It should solve the problem.
[16] Q: What are the shortcuts/ widgets for:
A:
(i) pause/resume
(ii) off: It's like pressing the power button
(iii) persistent off: turn screen off and keep it off until power button is pressed again. It's good when the phone is moving but you do not want it to turn on.
(iv) lock: turns off the screen and locks it. Useful if delayed lock is in use but you want to lock the device manually.
[17] Q: Where is the Pro version? I cannot find it on Play Store.
A: The Pro version is discontinued unfortunately, due to security reasons.
To change to the Unlocked version, please, do the following:
- send me the purchase number of the Pro and I'll send you a promotional code which you can use to unlock the free version
[18] Q: In-App Purchase fails. Why?
A: It's a Play Store app issue probably which happening on some devices.
Please make sure you are connected and restart the device. Other method can be to uninstall the Play Store updates and try with an older version of the Play Store app. It often helps.
[19] Q: I bought the app by IAP but it's still locked. Why?
A: It's a Play Store app issue probably which happening on some devices when not connected to the internet.
Please make sure you are connected and restart the device. Moreover, do you have more than one Google account registered on your device? That can cause the issue too, that you bought the app under a different account. Other method can be to uninstall the Play Store updates and try with an older version of the Play Store app. It often helps.
[20] Q: After some time the phone does not wake up. Why?
A: I'd check any kind of battery saving methods your device may use currently. Probably that disables the sensor after some time.
Moreover, make sure that the Turn screen on by motion timeout is set properly. Please visit: https://dontkillmyapp.com/
[20] Q: I cannot uninstall it. Why?
A: You have to press the uninstall button in the app, not in Play Store or in Android settings. If still no luck reboot your device and try again .
[21] Q: The POWER BUTTON SUPPORT option does not work for me. Why?
A: You have to change the screen timeout from AUTO to another value in Android settings and do a reboot.
[22] Q: The fingerprint sensor does not work, instead I have to type my pin every time. Why?
A: This is an Android thing, for developers the Smart lock features are not supported. That's why we have to use workarounds.
Using the FINGERPRINT UNLOCK, SMART LOCK SUPPORT option should solve the issue but you may have to wait about 5-10 seconds for the complete turning off with the Timeout method.
The Accessibility method is recommended to choose above Android 8.
Root your device to make this workaround perfect. In this case the turning off will be instantaneous.
[23] Q: Why does the screen only turns black but not turning completely off?
A: It's because you have selected the Timeout method of the SMART LOCK SUPPORT option and your device is not rooted. This is an Android thing, for developers the Smart lock features are not supported. That's why we have to use workarounds. Using the SMART LOCK SUPPORT option you have to wait about 5-10 seconds for the complete turning off.
Root your device to make this workaround perfect. In this case the turning off will be instantaneous.
[24] Q: The app is paused when I got a notification from an app which is on the Exclude Apps list. Why?
A: To avoid this issue, you have to grant the app an extra permission in Settings - Notifications - Notification Access
[25] Q: Why the screen timeout is changed by the app?
A: The Keep Screen On by Motion feature extends the timeout always an extra amount of time to keep the screen on when motion is detected. The timeout resets when the screen is turned off.
This method is used only for Xiaomi and Samsung devices above Android Pie.
[26] Q: The app stops working on MIUI (xiaomi redmi) after some minutes. Why?
A: To solve the issue please visit: https://dontkillmyapp.com/
[27] Q: The Turn Screen On features does not work on Samsung S8 or S8+. Why?
A: Luckily there is a very easy and quick fix! You just have to go to the edge light settings on your phone and there you can select which apps are affected by the edge light. So if you turn it off Gravity Screen in this list the notification of the app will get handled by android again, not Samsung's system. So this means that it will turn on the screen again!
Here is a video made to show the bug and how to fix it: https://youtu.be/WSSKvMrx7X0 (Thanks for finding the solution: Kitt3120)
[28] Q: The app stops working on Nokia Oreo. Why?
A: Because of a bug in the power saving method of Nokia devices, background processes are closed even if they are protected.
To overcome this issue you have to do the followings:
In Settings/Apps => Show system apps - deactivate these two packages:
- com.evenwell.powersaving.g3
- com.evenwell.powersaving.g3.overlay.base.s600ww
Please visit: https://dontkillmyapp.com/
[29] Q: The app stops working on Huawei EMUI 8. Why?
A: Because of a bug in the power saving method of Huawei devices, background processes are closed even if they are protected.
To make the app work on EMUI 8 you have to do the following:
Settings --> Battery --> Launch. Find GS there, click on it, open every option (which also includes "Run in background") and let it say "Manage manually".
Please visit: https://dontkillmyapp.com/
[30] Q: The app stops working on Android 9. Why?
A: Because of a bug in the power saving method, background processes are closed even if they are chosen to be not optimized.
To solve this issue you have to grant Gravity Screen access to notifications in: Menu - Permission Control

TROUBLESHOOT
- make sure the app is installed on internal memory card; external sd cards can cause many kind of problems
- if it looks like the app stopped working correctly do an uninstall, re-install and a reboot
Interesting! Downloading and testing...
Great app, testing it now. For the proximity function, shouldn't the drain be higher because when the phone is in the pocket the proximity sensor is always on?

You can live with the free version quite well. But by buying the paid version your life will be easier little bit:
- you can drop your phone face down onto your undone bed and your screen will turn off
- when you wake up and hardly find your phone the screen will turn on automatically at the moment you grab it and no need to find any button
Probably there are more advantages, but I could recall only these at the moment
Some feedback
1- Pocket sensor
*** gravity - can turn off but can't turn on.
*** proximity - can't even turn off
2- Table Sensor
*** gravity - can turn off but can't turn on
*** proximity - working (both face down/up and off/on)
3- Turn Screen On by Motion
*** not working for both gravity and proximity (unless swiping finger over the proximity sensor)
4- Keep Screen On by Motion
*** not working at all (even after change the sensitivity)
Request
Keep Screen On by Angle - Sometimes, i didn't hold my phone. Just put on the table in standing position. So, 0-10 degree will off the screen while higher than that will keep the screen on. No need to keep shaking
I'm on Motorola Defy CM7.2 btw. Keep your good work :good:

Do you mean check the box for "Turn Screen OFF by Proximity" or uncheck the box?
its a really nice app, thank you.
one question:
if i put my galaxy nexus in the pocket, it turns off and then it turns on immediatly.
sometimes it won´t even turn off. if i rotate it in my hand and cover the brightness
sensor it will definitely turn off.
if the galaxy nexus rotates in my pocket (sometimes it is on the side) then it turns
on.
is this a bug or do i have to wrong settings.
thank you

For keeping screen on, try the booster option. That's the only option.
Request: Turn off some settings when it's charging as my phone is flat on a surface and it is quiet annoying when I turn phone on it has a very short display timeout (due to tablet sensor)

After playing a bit more, found that it is partially working on proximity. When facing down, it works. But while facing up, it is not working. Unless i face it down again, then the screen will turn on by motion.
Now, monitoring the battery usage. Hopefully it will not drink too many juice...

Yes, I mean keep the "Turn Screen OFF by Proximity" check box checked and after switch off the phone by the proximity sensor. You can do this by placing your phone face down or put it into your pocket when you want to turn the screen off. In this situations the proximity sensor will be activated and the screen will be turned off by it.

This is an issue with the proximity sensor. Unfortunately it looks like the sensor on your phone cannot recognize well the material of your trouser. If it happens quite often; the solution is to uncheck the "Turn screen ON by proximity" feature. In this situation when you place your phone into your pocket the screen will turn off and the proximity sensor will be inactive after. You can wake up your device by motion only after this. Downside: it costs more energy.
If the phone is often on its side in your pocket try to increase the pocket sensor angle. If it's still turning on, the only way is too keep your phone not to turn on its side or switch off the "turn screen on by motion" feature and in that case the phone will only turn off automatically which is still not too bad.
This app is so good!! I will report my experience

Well buddy it needs a camera to take light input, so it will not run without camera or light sensor. I don't know if there is any android device without camera in market. you can use back camera for that, but some times results may annoy you, when you accidentally put your finger in front of camera.

Hay pal first read the tutorial fully, I am using tasker to initiate refresh process on display on. If you use lux individually then it will slow down your phone and drain the battery. In my tutorial actually lux is not running in background (if it is running you can kill it). Tasker plug in triggers it to refresh the brightness. Coz i have used it for hole day and currently using, I have not face any issues with device performance. If anyone body faced any issue can post here i'll try to solve it.
So it will never drain battery just try it.

Hello Guys!!
Have anybody missed AUTO BRIGHTNESS feature on your device because lack of Ambient Light Sensor,
If yes, the don't worry. I have an easy solution for Auto Brightness, Yes you can use Auto Brightness on NON LIGHT SENSOR Device:victory:
NO ROOT REQUIRED
Download and install These two app from following links:-
Lux Auto Brightness
Tasker
After Installing these apps follow these steps:-
Lux Auto Brightness:-
Go to Lux settings
Tap on Sample Collection
Tap on Select light reading source
Select Camera
Then get back to main settings menu
Tap on Mopdify linked samples
Tap on Luma TAB
Tap on ADD, set brightness (yello bar) to 4% Luma value to 1 and press ADD
Add 3 more links with these values= 35%-70|100%-80|50%-120|
Exit Lux
Tasker:
Open Tasker, tap on Plus Gign(+) on main screen
Tap on Event
Select Display in Event Category
Select Display On in Display Event
A blank screen will appear, do nothing just press BACK Button
TAP on New Task +
Enter Name to task or just tap on tick
A blank screen will Appear, tap on Plus Sign (+)
Select Plugin from action category
Select Lux Plug-in
Tap on Edit Button
Scroll Down and Tick in front of Refresh Backlight brightness? Under Force
Press Done, then press back and back again
Exit Tasker
Thats all work to do, now your dvice have Auto Brightness feature:silly:
To test, just press power button and lock the screen and then cover front camera with finger and press power button again, screen will Light up wait 1-2 seconds, Screen brightness will reduce, remove finger, lock unlock screen and brightness will resume to normal.
I have tested this for full day on my LG Optimus L9 and got no any battery drainage.
You can modify Linked Samples Values to your comfort zone for batter sample values you can also search other XDA forums.
Guys try it and let me know how you feel
if you got any issue please post, I'll try to solve it (Coz m also new to TASKER & LUX so may be it will take little bit time to Solve:fingers-crossed
EDIT: You can uncheck "Presistent notification" in general settings of Lux Auto Brightness, If you think it is draining your phone's battery. This will also disable the annoying Lux icon from notification.
HIT THANKS IF I DESERVE IT

Lux works fine without Tasker too. I didn't feel bothered to uninstall Tasker at last. Tasker itself consume a smart amount of RAM. Now I am using lux with some additional luma values in addition to given here. I am using total 11 numbers of values and set adjust "On Woke". It's flawlessly working without the help of tasker.
Thanks man. The flux app saved me!!!!!
(Ps.: I aslo think that tasker is not needed because flux is enough)
works like charm
nice my nexus 4 light sensor and proximity sensors are dead..this resolved light sensor...any alternate for proximity sensor???while receiving or making calls
Another app that work to. Just install. No need any setting.
It is "Auto brightness by PP".
It is free.
Hi, with only this app you can do the same:

Turn Off Wifi during sleep mode

Hey guys,
I just need to know all the options available in HAM7 in order to switch-off the WI-FI whenever I pressed the lock-button or screen is off or phone in sleep mode?
However, Can anyone tells me how long does the phone needs to enter the "sleep mode" if it's screen timeout is set to 15seconds + all apps are protected "restricted" from (Running in background + Push-notification)?
Thanks

Hey Alex,
Thanks for your help, but i think there is already an option in the Huawei Ascend mate 7 phones for doing such thing but i can't really find it, the reason that i don't need to download any (Battery Saving Programs, that the phone is packed with the same utility too! called "Phone Manager") ,, it was working with me, but seems to be i done something (disable something or protect something "Restricting it") from doing it's normal function that i still don't figure it out what is it!
Thanks for your reply, I've tried this app and i wasn't knew what does "Smart WIFI" means until Now, so i would make it my last choice to download this app again, in case if i didn't find a way to manage it within the phone settings.

Go to settings - > WI-FI -> scroll down -> Advanced Settings -> Keep Wi- Fi on during sleep -> Never
I have it on " Always" but you can choose "Never"
Hope it helps

Unfortunately, I've the same options on "Never (increase data usage)"
But still the wifi is on, that means either the phone doesn't enter into sleep mode after 2-10mins or more or either it's not the option we're looking for!

Yeah, same here, I tested on 'Never' and I have the same result, so don't worry it's not from your phone, probably it's from the firmware I guess.
You can test the Smart Wi fi option from the Smart Battery Saver app to see if it works.

Yes, I did test the App once again, and it really does what it says PLUS it really makes a difference in battery life better than before!
Great App, I wanna thank you for suggesting this app to me :good:
Thanks Again

As you can see in the following picture it's my settings, without using the app "Smart Battery Saver" suggested by member in previous comments the device couldn't been able to Switch WIFI automatically, unless I use the app provided.
However, the phone was working properly but I don't know what happened to that option later on.
All my apps is restricted from running on background and app notification is restricted too, Sync is switched off. I wonder what eels remained.. lol
I found option to control Wi-Fi in the Viber application settings (you can see this option on the attached screenshot). May be you using something app like this?
And IMHO restrictions working only for automatic memory clearing if it's not enough for active application, but I could be wrong.

I found out if you want wi fi turning off during sleep do this: Go to settings - > WI-FI -> scroll down -> Advanced Settings -> Keep Wi- Fi on during sleep -> Only when plugged in.
I think this was the setting you were looking for. With this setting my wifi disables every time during sleep and reconnects automatic when i turn the screen on.

It seems to be doesn't work, I've tried it just in few minutes, and changed my display screen time-out for 15-seconds to go to sleep quickly, still it doesn't work after several minutes, so my question is for (How long does the phone consume from time to "enter sleep mode/device WI-FI switched Off") with your phone?

I think it must be in sleep mode at least 5 to 10 minutes. If you just turn off the screen and turn back on, the wifi will not disabled. Test it. Let the phone off for 5-10 minutes to have time to enter sleep mode. If you want to disable the wifi immediately every time you turn off the screen, the only solution is that app.

Screen Waking up automatically

My phone is waking up automatically to change lock screen picture every few minutes. It used to do that every few hours and now its happening every few minutes. It there a way to fix this ?
I am using magazine unlock and have latest OTA B190.

Try to investigate problem. There is something what does not allow phone to sleep and wakes up periodically.
What specific apps did you install?
Go to settings / battery and look up for draining apps.
Use alternative apps like gsam battery monitor or similar
Additionally, go to settings / screen lock & passwords / magazine unlock and turn off option "auto update over WiFi"
Is there a Bluetooth device such as a Huawei Band nearby?
Settings -> Display -> Wallpapers
Check "interval" number and change accordingly.
However, screen shouldn't wake up from this.

I have disabled magazine unlock screen also not changing wallpaper automatically. There is no notification, it looks like as if phone is waking up to change wallpaper.
Ended up doing factory data reset. Everything is back to normal. Not sure what was going on..
