Is there a way to use the Hyperlapse camera mode with the screen off? When I tried to do this, the screen never times out (because video is being recorded). Also, when I try to shut off the screen using the power button, the camera stops and the Hyperlapse session ends. The screen is a significant battery user. For this mode, it would be nice to be able to let the screen shut off to conserve battery.
Thanks
Smart Stay Enabled?

The S7 has a feature that senses the subject in front of the lens. Let's start with checking your settings.
From your home screen, tap Apps > Settings > Device.
Tap Display > Smart Stay.
With Smart Stay, the display remains on. Try using Hyperlapse with this feature turned off.

Hello all,
First of all, apologies if this is in the wrong forum.
I have an HTC EVO 4G on Sprint. I am looking for an app that will manage the backlight in a way more like Windows Mobile's own built-in management. Here's what I am looking for more specifically. When charging or plugged in, the backlight should be full brightness and the screen should never dim or turn off. When on battery, the backlight could be set to dim after xx minutes, or not dim. The device should then shut the screen off after xx minutes.
With Android's built-in settings, all I can come up with is the setting for the screen to never sleep when charging, which is oddly placed under Applications -> Development. The screen timeout setting applies to both battery and charging statuses.
Why? When the phone is plugged in, I like to be able to quickly glance at it for time or notifications. I don't like having to hit the power button to check these. When on battery, the phone is usually in my pocket so taking it out and pressing the power button are almost one motion. It saves battery as well.
Also, in the car, I always have the phone charging. I've noticed that some GPS and other programs will keep the backlight on, but others will not. I've seen some applications just allow the backlight to dim, so I have to keep touching the display to wake it up.
Does such an application exist? If not, doesn't anyone else want to see such an application made?
This is one of the little things that I miss about Windows Mobile 6.5.
tried searching various places and could only find apps that turn the screen off, but nothing that would turn it back on.
is it possible to have the screen respond to touch while completely off? or is setting the brightness super low the only way to do it?
thanks.
Why would you need/want an app to do this?
saves the battery and power button.

Yes, I use the App called: "Lock Screen"
Well, it only works to lock and shut off the screen...hopefully giving your power button a longer life time!
Just my two cents, but it seems to me that in order for the touch screen to be responsive when it's off, it would technically have to be on...right? Which would waste the battery.... I don't think the power button on the Fire is so fragile that you need an app to turn it on when it's off. If you're rooted though, you should try "button savior" in the market. It basically has virtual "home" "back" and "power" buttons.
Hi. I was wondering if the watch can be set up to only turn on when a button is pressed. Right now, I have it set up to turn on when turning my wrist. This is good, but there are times that it comes on when doing other things.
Thanks.

There is an option in settings - device.. ?
From S5
Settings>Device> Wake-up gesture (off)
Perfect! Thanks a lot. For some reason, I thought that shutting this off would just always leave the watch on. Instead it stays on for something like ten seconds and then shuts itself off.
Excellent!
You can turn it off even quicker by just putting two fingers (as opposed to your whole hand) over the screen should you want to preserve as much batt as possible..
If I turn off the screen (using power button) when the camera app is open, the screen wakes over and over again to the lockscreen. Causes huge battery drain. The only way to stop this is to exit the camera app before turning off the screen. Is there anyway to fix it? My phone is stock Marshmallow using Samsung Good Lock.
UPDATE:
I managed to record when it's covering the whole screen. Please see that two added videos ("Extreme").
Well I guess it's time to report to Samsung.

Hi,
I managed to capture a strange screen flickering. In this video - just a small bar (and only visible when scrolling).
In all other cases - it covers the whole screen and the only way to get rid of it - turn off power saving mode (impossible if all screen is covered with this static) or connect to power supply.
This happens only when the Power saving is ON (in my case - automatically if battery goes below 25%).
Turn Power saving off and it goes away.
Any idea what's that?

If you turn on standard rather than adoptive display at the same time as power saving ?

Well.. it's hard to reproduce because it doesn't happen often. But yes.. I could run a test (standard + power saving).
I updated my OP. Please see the videos when it covers the whole screen.
