Need a shortcut to turn off screen and lock device without touching power button.
GF got use to using the one I put on HTC Inc 2. Looking for one that works on
our Sammy S3 Verizon.
Than ks
I use Screen off and lock found in Google play store.
Screen off and lock ap by Kattaca is one of the only "real one" of these apps available. The multitude of widgets are useless, they just black your screen. Only problem with these apps in android 4.0+ is there is an instant reflash of the screen when the screen shuts off. This is not an issue with the app it, is a bug in the android os. I personally do not mind because I love the app, get the donate version and be glad you did. I've been in contact with the dev testing on different os's and he is on the issue as soon as there is a fix available.
JustCause,
Screen Off and Lock by Katecca is your best bet. There are many
others but none of them work. Although Screen Off and Lock isn't
perfect its the only game in town if you need a one click to turn off
screen. Here's a link 4U https://play.google.com/store/apps/...reenofflockdonate&feature=more_from_developer
Hope This Helps:fingers-crossed:
Girlfriend broke the screen on the S6 and it doesnt display anything. Anyone have an tricks to getting photos off? The phone is unlocked and i can access the home screen. I can see the phone on Find My Phone from Samsung and i can install apps remotely with Google Play. Debugging is Off. Any ideas? Thanks!!

Hi,
It never happened to me (USB debug always on, in case of emergency), but someone on instructables had the same issue (broken screen/debug off). He managed to enable it via the cerberus app. A bit slow from what he says, but seems to work well. He provides a full walkthrough. Ask goo for cerberus-broken screen- debug...You should find it easily.
Hope it helps,
Good luck

I've searched a couple hours now and there is a demand for the "Ok google" detection while the screen is off and the phone is not charging. There ar multiple topics about this on different places:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s7/661999-ok-google-screen-off.html
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS7/comments/48uv2q/no_ok_google_while_screen_off/
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/force-ok-google-t3396305
Most of these topics are created/commented by users, not devs. While there is the "fake charging" method described here (http://www.droidviews.com/force-ok-google-detection-screen-off/) it has many drawbacks and is a very ugly solution, mostly for older phones.
The S7 should have some hardware allowing it to "hear" in low power state while the screen is off, we can see that on the S Voice application, that works well but isn't nearly as good as Google Voice. Some google phones, like the Nexus and the Pixel, support this functionality.
I know this forum is full of phone devs, I'm a programmer myself. How could we make 'ok google' detection when the screen is off and the phone is not charging?
If you got the Google Assistant then you will be able to do that.

I tried and no dice: screen off, no detection. (unless charging)
changing build.prop to pixel so the system thinks that we're using a pixel device which has that option ?
I have Google Assistant installed and it responds to "Ok Google" from lock screen being off and not charging??
I flashed the Google Assistant enabler onto my Galaxy S7 flat, running Nougat.
The one that doesn't require changing device ID to Pixel device or altering your language, or installing all the Beta Google apps. Works beautifully.

This is the post. Just flash it using twrp and you get Full Google Assistant without any issues or having to change your device name or language etc
I tried flashing this but it does not work. Screen off = no detection unless charging.

I can confirm this. Still looking for a way to use it as I use my phone to do work while driving my bike a lot. Not very user friendly to wake my phone with a button press..
Hi.
I am using Galaxy S8+ (Exynos) for about a year.
I have only been able to use Hi Bixby when screen is off.
Ok google would never wake up my phone, so the only time I could use Google Assistant is when screen is already on.
Is there anyway to make Ok Google works when screen is off.?
THanks
Does anyone know how to get Google assistant to respond to hey Google when the screen is in an off state, with the always on display.
It seems to only function once the screen is awakened
