[UPDATE]
Hi guys, after my account was banned from Play Store, I decided to move all apps on Amazon App Shop for free. :good:
Here you can download last version of Smart Screen OFF PRO.

I'll add other apps I developed in the next few weeks.
Download Smart screen off PRO User Guide
DESCRIPTION
Smart Screen Off it's a simple and light app which uses the Proximity Sensor built in your Android smartphone to turn the screen off and on automatically
REASON
I decided to code this app when I bought my Galaxy Nexus: this device doesn't have any physical button on the front screen. Being a quite huge phone, it's quite difficult to press the "turn off" button every time I wanted to turn it off and on. So I needed a way to turn the screen off every time I put it into the pockets and off when removed.
HOW IT WORKS
The app itself is a toggle button, to switch it on just press the App Icon. Then every time you put the phone into your pockets the screen turns off.
If you put the smartphone upside down on the table, the screen turns automatically off.
NOTE: It doesn't lock the screen (just like in a call)
REQUIREMENTS
In order to use Smart Screen Off, you need to have a phone with Proximity Sensor (nowadays every smartphone incorporates one).
Nice APP
Even though I don't need this app...(I prefer manually clicking),
it seems really useful for whom use flip cases.
Such as "planner styled" Galaxy Note
Just installed and it does what it promises. Will be useful for me when at the gym I want to skip songs, I won´t have to unlock the phone a hundred times. Obviously the proximity sensor will be working all the time, did you notice a significant battery drain?. And the app name in the spanish version of the market is badly translated. It says "Fuera de pantalla inteligente" where it should say "Apagado de pantalla inteligente".
This is like screebl?
Good app, great idea. I think you should not only use proximity sensor, but things like orientation. I probably wont use this just because it doesn't seem too useful... I sometimes have my hand on top of my phone (near the sensor) and a finger movement can just keep making it blink on and off etc. Use orientation with this, it'd be better.
GREAT APP!
Works flawlessly, thanks alot.
Just installed V1.1 free from the market and it's a bit too sensitive! I hold my phone in my right hand and when I curl my hand over to touch or make gestures on the screen, the display turns off. Is there any way to adjust the sensitivity? I'm running on a Galaxy Nexus running GummyNex 0.7.6 based on AOSP 4.0.3.
UI is useless for lite so remove it, and as long as it has a notification in status bar i will not use this app, can i get v1 back!
2/5 stars
also in v1.2 there is NO way to turn it off :/

It won't go sleep, the device screen will only turn off and on
Nice application.
possible to make it work on galaxy tab? it doesnt have a proximity sensor but i believe it has a light sensor and magnatron. maybe make it detect a strong magnetic source to turn it on or off?
Night mode?

Proximity Screen Off never worked properly for me on the HD2 with several different versions of Android (both Honeycomb and ICS). It was quite prone to locking up my phone with the display off and locked.
Can you not trigger it to go to deep sleep. Screen should lock, that would be more appropriate imo.
If u turn off the display only,will deep sleep work?
EDIT:Saw the post up^^

IntelliCover is a utility which uses your device’s proximity sensor to control its display and allow fast and efficient access to your phone or tablet.
It turns the screen turns off automatically when you put your device in your pockets, close its flip cover, store the device in a bag, or even just leave the device facing down on a table. As soon as the device is back in your hand the proximity sensor is triggered again, the screen turns back on and your phone is instantly ready for use.
IntelliCover is more feature-filled than any other similar application on the market. And the best part? It's FREE!

Oh I get it. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll try to fix it as soon as possible. I have exams right now but after that (in a week probably) I'll release a fixed, updated version. And thanks also for the rating. With a new app, it really helps to get good ratings

Well there is a delay option. So you could set a delay of 2-3 seconds or more so that if you move your hand by mistake to the proximity sensor, it won't just turn off, it'll be delayed. Or you could set the vibrate function on so if your hand goes there, the phone will vibrate to warn you about it. :good:
Downloaded and voted with five stars.
Thanks mate. :laugh:
Downloading rite now..
good idea ! But, it's not working with flip cover.
Indeed, the screen turn off when the flip cover is at 5mm of the sensor but it turns on again when completely closed!!!
can you fix that?
keep on the good work ...

Hmm...not sure. It works with my flip cover. Almost all phones (like Galaxy Note) have a proximity sensor that only detects FAR or NEAR. So even though I've told the application to turn the screen off when an object comes to a certain distance, either the hardware itself or the phone's firmware doesn't have the ability to detect the distance. Proximity sensors are only made to be used when on a call so it doesn't really need to detect distance in its regular everyday usage I guess.
I did have a similar problem to yours when testing with a sort of snake-skin leather Zenus case because it had some tiny ridges in it, but in most test cases it worked. I'll try my best to see if I can dig up a solution. =)
If I remember well, it depends on the color of the cover.
Darker means that the proximity doesn't work very well.
I have another proximity app, I'll switch to this one very soon, and I have to put a little white stripe on the cover,where the sensor is, to make it work correctly.
If I'm not wrong,is an issue with all the sensors and not a program fault.

Now that I think about it, that actually makes alot of sense. I don't know what it is with ALL sensors and black but they do tend to freak out. I even have an amazing Logitech mouse that works on mirrors and glass and see-through plastic and anywhere else except for on pitch black surfaces lol. The only crude fix I could think of is to use a combo of proximity sensor and light sensor somehow but it would be a waste of battery in my opinion.
Just tried your app, but didn't really worked : when I flip my (black) cover (or when I hide the sensor with my finger), the screens goes off but just for few seconds before getting on again. I'm using WidgetLocker btw, I don't know if it affects your app or not.
Edit : if you need logs or anything, feel free to ask

Hi! I'm still searching into it but it would seem that darker colors do not work well with the proximity sensor. Since this doesn't really have much to do with the actual programming itself I'm not sure I can do much about that.
BUT it should work when you use your finger. WidgetLocker shouldn't make a difference, it just works like any other lockscreen so it won't affect the functionality of my app. The fact that it turns on after a while baffles me though, because programmatically it doesn't make sense to me.
If you don't mind, could you please try putting the phone down on a surface or putting it in your pocket to test it? The proximity sensor is pretty sensitive so if you'd moved your finger even a bit it could have gotten triggered. Let me know if it still doesn't work and then we can move on to the messy part.
*yawn* Time for bed
This is happening right now!
Sorry, was just shocked when I actually saw the posting dates/time, I always assume apps have been around and had the bugs worked out, but I see this is newly born! So, for an i717 Note (AT&T Branded) this should essentially work the same, right? I mean there are no processor specific requirements or such? I am a releatively new Note owner - just a few days, and I have rooted, flashed a nice ROM, and ordered an awesome leather cover (NOT the cheesy flip cover) and I went looking for a proximity sensor based "cover detection app" - this sounds good, nice options to fine tune, and the dev sounds really into making this work well. Sounds like a winner. I will grab this now, but will not have my cover till Monday. It is NOT black, LOL, so I will test and report how well it works soon after i get my cover. I also got the Samsung branded car mount (I am going broke getting these, for my HTC phones, then GSII, then GSII Skyrocket (slightly larger) and now Note (LOTS LARGER, LOL!) Oh, so why am I telling you about my car dock? Because it's awesome, LOL!!! Nah, just kidding, (but it IS awesome) - I am wondering if being in a darkened car, like at night might trip the proximity sensors threshold for available light and kill the screen. Anyway, if you don't know that's okay. If it does trip the sensor, I will let you know.
Thanks again for a quality app, with no ads, and free. Always a pleasure - gonna put a price on it when it's perfect? If so remember your testers, hehe.
awsome app, nice job !:good:

lol Well let's get one thing out the way. This app is and will be free (and ad-free) forever. So don't worry about that. Who knows, maybe a long way into the future I might release a paid app to earn a little cash but I don't plan on doing so anytime soon, and surely not to this app.
As for compatibility, as long as your phone has a proximity sensor the app should work (though I'm working out some problems on the smaller phones) so yes, it should work on your phone, no problem. Just hope it works out with your cover though. My cover is sort of a really dark deep brown and it doesn't work at times so I tend not to use that one. I do alot of coding and testing at night btw, and it doesn't just trigger the proximity sensor, so I strongly doubt a darkened car would trigger it.
Good luck with your Note btw. I really think you made the right choice. I've had mine for a year now. I'm just in college so I can't buy Note 2 or I would have. The way Samsung talks about Note 2 though makes me believe I'll have the chance to grab a Note 3 sometime in the future. =)
YES! FINALLY! Fix for all Gingerbread devices coming soon. Should be up within a day or two after some testing. Then I'll work on widgets and optimization and other stuff after I'm done with exams.

Yes, unfortunately this isn't a problem with the application. Proximity sensors don't work well on darker colors. That's why it might work with your finger and maybe in your pocket but not with a black cover. Sorry, this is a problem with hardware, not with the app, so I can't fix that. Only thing I can tell you is that you're not alone. Pretty much all proximity sensors have trouble with black, not just yours.
Hello everyone,
I received my OnePlus 6 today and I am very happy. It's the 6/64 model. I come from a Galaxy S7 Edge and a Galaxy A3 2017.
Here are my thoughts about it:
- Build quality is exemplary, I played with Huawei Mate 10 Pro and P20 and the OP6 is way better built, very close if not identical quality to Samsung's best phones. For me, a phone needs to look "professional", not plasticky or gimmicky. This one delivers !
- The case that comes with the phone is very high quality, I am amazed. It's not a simple case, it has many interesting features: sides are matte finished and provide high grip, it has raised corners, the corner protection is exemplary. Plus, it fits like a glove. Don't waste your money on another case until you try the stock one (I unfortunately did - I have the Nylon Bumper case on the way).
- Screen is gorgeous and perfectly calibrated, I have a Surface Pro 4 and a Surface Pro 5 (perfectly calibrated screens) and the calibration of the OP6 is almost identical. Colors are exactly as they should be, whites are perfectly balanced. And I love notched screens, I want as little bezel as possible, really no complaints !
- The speed of the phone is incredible, I have never used a phone so fast, much faster than the S8 and S9 that I have used for a few minutes. Web browsing speed is in another league compared to everything I used before.
- It came charged at 50%, and I got 3h of SOT and 9h of total usage from the factory 50% charge (with app installations, updates, a lot of web browsing, 1 hour of music playing to bluetooth headset, etc.)
- Pictures in low light are way over my expectations, on par with the S7 Edge (which has a great camera setup).
- Software is really great, light and customizable.
- The double-tap to wake is a great feature and very reliable.
- Everything works as expected, no quirks. At this price, I was expecting something to be really off, but no, everything is great !
- I have never used a SD card (ok, used once), wireless charging, and always protected my phone from water, so I consider the lack of those features a non-issue for me.
Now for the less good parts:
- (Biggest issue if you come from Samsung or LG phones): Always-On display is missing and this is a significant issue (although it was present in the firmware before the updates, hopefully they bring it back !), I also like the LED notifications even more especially with the Light Flow app, but the problem is that this phone's LED is a little dim and small. However, it does the job.
- Phone is a little bigger than I would like, but really, it's nitpicking, it fits very well in my front pocket and I am already used to it
- Rear-placed fingerprint sensor makes it unusable for me, basically I will never use it, I can't use it in the car, I can't use it when the phone is on the table
- Face unlock is incredibly fast, but it doesn't work at an angle, when the phone is on the table and you glance at it, you can't use it when the phone is on the table.
- Your best bet for unlocking this phone reliably in the car or on the table is to wear a smartwatch and enable Smart Lock (I have a Pebble 2 - great smartwatch that wipes the floor with any Wear OS watch - think always-on screen and 8 days of battery life and great notification management - enough said).
- If you enable gestures instead of buttons (gestures are incredibly easy and intuitive on the OP6) you can't double tap to lock screen...that's a big issue for me, I don't want to press the power button a lot for durability reasons. For now I have left the navigation buttons in place (double tap home will lock the screen) but I hope a solution will be provided eventually. EDIT: a very recent OnePlus Launcher release just added "double-tap anywhere on the home screen to lock", so you can count this issue out
- The bottom-firing speaker is not ideal, many times I used the phone in portrait mode in bed and I cover the speaker with my finger. Samsung has a smarter placement on the side. Of course, dual front speakers would be nice but I don't use the speakers a lot and I much prefer the small bezels instead.
Conclusion: all in all, I consider the OnePlus 6 the most "balanced" flagship of the current generation of flagships. For me, aside from the lack of AOD (which will hopefully be reintroduced), it has almost no flaws. And the price is just...fair to the customer, most of the others have ripoff prices for phones that are missing critical features like decent battery life, for example.
This was my quick review.
Thanks !
I have gestures enabled and I can still use DT2W. Maybe because I enabled DT2W after enabling gestures. Can you try re-enabling DT2W?

My problem was about double-tap to lock/sleep (I assume DT2W = double tap to wake), since there were no buttons you couldn't double-tap on the home button to lock. However, a very recent update to the OnePlus launcher just enabled double-tap anywhere on the home screen to lock, so my problem is solved. For those interested, the setting is in the launcher settings (long-press on home screen), not in the regular settings. So I can now use gestures !
Here are my first battery drain stats. Things look very good until now, with 4h SOT and 16h total stand-by and still 55% left. This is on the very first charge of the phone ! Very surprising to me. My usage consists of mostly web browsing, email, some music and some occasional video, I don't play games and I don't have any social media apps installed (I use Facebook from the browser when needed).

with the following tools you can easily and cross device implement the features you're missing:
a) double tab to sleep works with a shortcut and an single tap icon on home screen and/or implemented into either swapps and/or LMT
. further nova launcher as well as the launcher you already mentioned have gestures to lock the screen, hence no problem to get that.
b) always on display can be had with a combo of screensaver clock plus (or another less nice watch LOL) and "auto screen saver" all in playstore.
need more info, simply send pm cause i won't follow this thread further, just came here once to hear what others think and found out.

Double-tap to lock screen is an incredibly useful gesture but it requires deep OS support for proper functioning.
Any application-level double-tap to lock screen results in requiring the PIN when unlocking next time (try it...). This is a stupid Google "security" issue, present since Android 7 if I'm not mistaken.
Some launchers like Nova and Microsoft Launcher (also mentioned by you) use a hack and do not actually lock the screen on double-tap but make it black and set the screen timeout to a low value like 5 seconds. However, this approach is also bad, because if you put it in a pocket or touch the screen immediately after you "lock" the screen, the phone will unlock immediately because it was not yet really locked.
So "real" double-tap to lock is a plus for OnePlus, and I'm glad it's properly implemented ! Until now I have only seen it properly implemented in LG phones.
Face unlock currently requires a double tap, which is annoying because it doesn't work half the time
Even though they are trying to fix this in the next update, a better implementation would be when you raise the phone, it shows the lock screen (not ambient display screen), and simultaneously turns on the front camera to face unlock your phone
Gravity screen can do this, but requires a heavy wakelock to do so. Using the same 'raise to wake' method as ambient display [which seems to work without a heavy wakelock], but then showing the lock screen instead of ambient display, should achieve this
I would LOVE this feature, it would be a complete game changer!!
I use gravity screen and don't lose much battery
Use the power button since it's more reliable anyways ?

There's still a fair amount of battery loss. Oneplus raise to wake seems to be able to do the same action without any battery loss
This was so fine on Op5 and 5T. Open Beta, of course!
Update: I've installed the wave up app. It basically wakes the phone when proximity sensor is uncovered
So when I take the phone out of my pocket, it authenticates my face automatically and unlocks, in a split second. I don't need to touch anything
Similarly if I keep my phone face down on a desk (not ideal), when I flip it over to look at it, it unlocks.
No messing around with d2tw which is more like quadruple tap to wake since this functionality is broken

Hi i use the original flip case from OP and as soon as i open my case door it unlocks witch is very easy and convenient.
Shall check with tasker.
Update: could not succeed.
I face no trouble in dt2w it wakes as it's intended to and unlocks with face within a split second, face unlock has become slower since the 5.1.9 and in dp3 but still fast enough
If my hand is dirty i just say Hey or Ok google.
Agree. it would be a great thing
I finally picked up a U12 after Amazon had a 20% off sale on Warehouse Deals versions. It was basically new and I initially liked it. However, I'm likely returning it because the Motion launch gestures are extremely unreliable, especially when taking it out of my pocket. It seems that the proximity sensor doesn't immediately register that it's not in a pocket anymore. That, or it has to be more forcefully lifted UP, like you must do to activate the Ambient Display. I tried this with the Ambient display in both "always on" mode and "lift to check" mode. Same results. A majority of the time, I take my phone out of my pocket and go to double-tap on the screen and nothing happens. If I keep doing it, it works after a while. If I leave it lying on a table, it will pretty much always work, which is why I think it's a proximity/light sensor issue.
I have experienced this behavior before with other phones with double-tap-to-wake. In fact, LG and OnePlus seem to be the only ones that are 100% reliable for me.
Before anyone suggests it, NO, fingerprint wake-up is not an option. I interact with my lockscreen notifications almost exclusively throughout the day. I just want the screen to turn on when I tap on it twice, like it's supposed to and that's not happening. I also don't use power buttons. At all. I use my phone left-handed anyway, so that's not ideal. I'm not looking for a suggested work-around. I'm just seeing if anyone else experiences this and/or if there's something I'm missing. The phone is great otherwise, but this is a huge deal-breaker for me.
