Best screen/button lock program

I am looking for a program to lock the touch screen and buttons, without affecting any running programs or the ability to see the display. I was happily using SensorLock, but it suddenly stopped locking and no amount of removing and reinstalling will make it work. Is there something like SensorLock out there that works?

S2U2 got some minor bugs.
e.g. when the phone is locked in S2U2, if someone calls you and hangs up in a short time, for example 1-2 seconds, the phone will hang and have to soft reset. i experienced this several times. might be due to the 3secs lag that's normal in touch pro phones, but if you get this with your touch pro, the combination will hang if someone calls and hang up.
im using throttlelock for now.

I tried S2U2, but it used a "screen saver" image. I need to be able to lock the keys with TomTom or SlingPlayer running and continue to see the program screen as it updates.

Pocket Shield is currently my favorite. Have tried a few others but I like this the best.

Thanks, but I don't see anything on PocketShield's site that indicates that I can run PS while TomTom is running and still see/hear the nav screen/voice.

throttlelock is pretty cool
and on top of that i use answerkeys disabler for when there are incoming calls
sensorlock messed up for me and pocketshield never really worked properly

I hate this app, it replace standard phone skin (if you don't use HTC phone skin) ant there is no way to back to standard windows skin, only hard reset

You can try TouchLockPro
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444215
You can lock and keep the display on with the TouchLockPro Action Screen:

I've actually managed to get my preferred locking program, SensorLock, working again. I found the settings tab reenabled the locking! As my Brit mates say, works a charm!

What did u do? Mine seems to mess up on incoming calls too often...

Settings>All Settings>Personal>SensorLock There are controls for call behavior.

No need for hard reset, it happened to me and all you need to do is install the app again and disable the ppsp in the application options and then uninstall.. it stops using the app skin and returns to the default HTC phone skin. (=

Hi
I have touchlockpro. Decreases this the battery time?

I tried almost all possible lock programs:
s2u2 - interface looks great - but truly it performed poorly in answering calls
sensorlock - i almost dropped my phone while rotating - LOL!!!!
pocketshield - used it longer - at least 3 weeks - main problem is that it goes to lock mode during a call and I have to unlock it everytime to enter a pin etc
throttlelock - for some reason couldnt install it
finally, i installed touchlockpro - i like this one - i like this so far...... haven't figured out battery drain part......

Wifi problem

In my battery stats my wifi and my awake are showing drops at the same time.
I have reset the phone twice. My wifi is on "Always on". I have no apps installed except the one that came pre loaded.
Also every-time I wake the screen its giving me the message "connected to my wifi"
Anyone have any ideas?
thanks

So did a factory reset. Did not install one app, charged phone to 100% and let it sit overnight and got this result.
I am starting to think this is a bad unit I got. Is anyone else having this problem with their wifi?

check advanced wifi settings. Always allow scanning or something like that is probably enabled for google location services. Every samsung device I've ever worked with has had this enabled by default.

Thanks for the response but that was the first thing that I checked.
I am going to give it another day or so see if it works itself out if not going to ask for a replacement.

K, I'm on sprint but my bat screen doesn't look anything like that . . . If you turn on airplane mode, what happens?
Got an idea. Settings-->Data usage-->Menu-->Show Wi-Fi usage
tap wifi
there should be a list of apps under the graph.
Do a full reset, then check the bat page to see if wifi is still on, and then check that list above to see if anything is actually using it.

I have been installing apps and have had my screen on for the last 20 minutes or so and now the phone is acting perfectly normal. The minute the screen goes off it starts the connecting and disconnecting from the wifi and waking the screen.

Does this happen whether or not wifi is on or off? Have you tried it while connected to a different network?

yes tried it on different networks.
I def think its the phone. Now it wont stay connected at all. I keep getting the connected to wifi message flashing on the screen every 2 seconds.
thanks for your help

You're not alone. I'm having the same issue. That and AccuWeather widget and side weather panel don't refresh. Swapping phone today at tmobile store in a few hours.

Did u swap out at the T-mobile store? I am curious what they said.
Last night i charged to 100% just let it sit on my counter and completely dead battery in 3 hours without touching the phone once.

Just to give an update on this thread that I started.
I received yesterday a new unit from T-mobile and this unit works perfectly. No wifi dropouts at all.
So my first unit was a defect

Auto-rotation not working

Hello, everyone!
Yesterday I discovered that my device doesn't detect its own orientation. It was after I tried to record a video and it came out vertical. I thought it was a ROM bug (since I was using the CyanogenMod nightlies), but I flashed with RSD Lite (cleanly) both 5.0.1 and the latest 6.0 ROMs and it still doesn't work. Sensor apps detect changes in the numbers when I move the device, though. I haven't dropped my Moto MAXX, and I always use it with a case...
Is there any way to recalibrate the sensors or something? I can provide any information or log if you tell me how to grab them.
Thanks!

Okay, this is REALLY weird. After a whole afternoon believing it was something software-related, I gently hit my device against the table three or four times and now it rotates correctly...

I was kind of desperate about the matter, probably I would have gone with the hammer option if the table hits hadn't worked.
By the way, and following my original post, is the gyroscope a mechanical thing? Or is it electrical?

It's the accelerometer.
Here's an issue Samung had with the Galaxy S6 at launch a year ago:
Samsung confirms screen-rotation problem with some Galaxy S6 Edge phones
http://www.computerworld.com/articl...-problem-with-some-galaxy-s6-edge-phones.html
Some Edge users have raised various theories about what causes the problem. One theory is that Samsung's fast-charging cord fried the chip that controls the accelerometer sensor, which affects rotation of images on the display. Another theory is that certain apps on the Edge — either third-party or pre-installed apps — have not been updated sufficiently to be compatible with recent minor Android OS updates. That lack of compatibility could somehow restrict the software controlling auto-rotation.
A Samsung technician on the 800-support line told Computerworld that users affected by the auto-rotate problem are being asked to test the faulty device by first going to "safe mode" to allow the phone to operate without third-party apps loaded by the user. If the problem persists after that test, the users are then asked to try a "hard key re-set" of the phone, which basically wipes all personal data and contacts and initiates a factory reset upon a reboot of the phone. The technician said personal data can first be stored to a remote backup location through the Samsung Kies or Samsung Smart Switch applications.
The technician didn't indicate what Samsung might do if the hard key re-set fails to fix the auto-rotate problem. A Samsung tech will walk users through the various steps required to perform the tests or Samsung can do the tests remotely.
The Samsung technician's course of action seems to indicate the problem is related to incompatible software, not hardware, but Samsung is not saying officially what the cause or the solution may be.
An Edge user named "IDOG" reported early Wednesday at Android Forums that he may have found the culprit. He said the rotation problem occurred when using the third-party Nova Launcher, but not when using TouchWiz, which is Samsung's own front-end touch interface. Nova Launcher, a third-party Android app by TeslaCoil Software, replaces a user's home screen with one that is customizable.
IDOG said Nova Launcher has so far worked fine after he uninstalled it and then re-installed it without borrowing any of the settings from his prior install of the launcher.
As a result of IDOG's field work, in theory, something as seemingly insignificant as user settings inside a third-party app could be part of Samsung's problem with some Edge screens not rotating properly

None of those seems to fit with what happened. Well, let's hope it stays functional. Thanks.

General OneUI 4.1 march broke accessibility

I use an accessibility app from here that allows long press volume up + down to activate and deactivate flashlight. Worked fine even screen off no aod on OneUI 4.0 Feb but after updating to 4.1 it barely works and only with screen on.
So, I decided to test other stuff and yeah it completely broke accessibility.
The touch and hold delay setting does nothing, it always takes like 2-3 seconds for anything to activate even when set to very short 0.3s, no longer works screen off at all.. GG Samsung..

Lol, my one N10+ is still happily running on Pie.
Upgrades and updates can and do break things.
It's a Samsung tradition... Samsung will eventually patch it.
Try clearing the system cache as that may correct it.

Clearing cache didn't help but thanks for the tip. And thanks Samsung for not allowing us to access recovery without the usb-c plugged in.
It doesn't work on aod either. Only when fully waking the device. I wonder if this is intended behavior or just a huge bug.
Can anyone else on a S21/+/Ultra with march 4.1 test accessibility shortcuts on screen off state?

Your welcome.
Try in safe mode to rule out a 3rd party app interference.
Try clearing the data in the accessibility apk.
Turn off Developer options temporarily.
Play with it, there's probably a fix or work around.

Did that, no difference. I did figure out what Samsung did actually.
They changed it so that long press volume up + down is 3 seconds and ignores the long press delay setting completely. And it also no longer works screen off while it used to work fine.
They also changed auto rotate sensitivity which makes it rotate with the slightest motion which is annoying as hell when reading something I'm bed for example as it constantly rotates..
Rolling back to Feb 4.0...

Do you have com.samsung.SMT disabled or removed?

This is one reason why I almost never upgrade or update. I don't like rude surprises.
Still running on Android 9 and 10; if it runs well I leave it be.
Funny what you say about the display flipping too easy; I get tired of waiting for it to transition.
They should have user settings for that by now.
Wonder if there's a 3rd party app to dial that in?

succesfully installed ArrowOS, this issue is still there but its a lot less annoying since the ROM is hella faster so if it gets stuck I just turn off and on in les than 5 seconds that it takes me to put my password, I read in the comments of the video OP posted that on OFW magisk can fix it, Ill try that now.

I did'nt believe it would do the trick, but it seams it did =) 1hour intensive use with a lot of cpu/gpu/ram load, not a single hang.
I'll write here if the hang occurs again. Maybe too soon, but in case it works "Thank you"
EDIT : WROTE TOO FAST, HANG STILL THERE

New update, arrowOS has a function which let's you turn off the phone and if you turn it on again fast enough it doesn't asks you for the password, its also fast enough that its almost unnoticeable, for gaming it wouldn't work but for day to day use its great, and let's be honest this phone was never meant to be used gaming anyway.
I also tried rooting and using magisk to install the magisk module of touchscreen by weareravens, I did notice an improvement, but its definitely still there, I think that's it folks, annoying but unsolvable.
I highly recommend installing ArrowOS its infinitely better, you do lose a couple functions like WiFi hotspot, and google drive access from applications( although I'm 70% sure I installed Gapps wrong) and the ability to use some of the banking apps ( I may have lost this when I rooted, I didn't check before and I think I could use them if I really wanted). It may sound like a lot, but honestly those are all the critics I can give, everything else is better on ArrowOS.

I have found a solution that has worked better than any other thing, you need root acces.
Touchscreen Issues

forum.xda-developers.com
Iheve tested it just for a couple hours but my issue happened when the phone was overworking itself and I have tried to force this issue for a while and nothing, the touchscreen is still working flawlessly, Ill try to update you all on if it worked or not

This problem is because this device is low budget and not for performance
