OK I got to ask. Why not just use the power button?

Cuz when the phone on his doc on the car it's hard to press on it.

it will depend on the car holder he's using
but most universal one are very easy and has direct access to the button

my holder is fine but when i try to press the power button he fall all the time. so i need to do it with 2 hands..
this is the reason i need this widget.

the screen will turn itself off after 30 sec by default
the next best thing on Freebie Apps is this
Screebl Lite

your phone turns into a physical switch, just rotate it
to make it on/off screen

Can try lock enabler. It works but has an irritating habit to set your screen timeout to 3s at times

Great! this is good solution. not the best but it works...
Did it work for you if you change it from 3 to 1 sec?

No. Min for me was 3s. Didn't work with 1 or 2

i agree it would be great to have an "off" widget...
anybody ?

Android api doesnt allow this as per my knowledge. Closest u can come is a partial_wake_lock which is
Cpu : On
Screen : Off
Keyboard : Off
I discovered this as im trying to create an app tht would turn off the screen if something is blocking the proximity sensor for 5s. (im trying to mimick putting the phone in the pocket so it should turn off).
So for a workaround wht i did was that when activated it sets the timeout to 3s which is almost instant. Then when u unlock the screen, my app restores the timeout to the original one it stored earlier. Hope this helps.

Not sure if this is helpful.

yes it will be fine to hava that kind of app on my galaxy s or my home button will pain a lot

try screen off widget in the app store.

Try 'Lock Screen Widget' by droid-mania.com perhaps?
Unfortunately it requires FroYo to get around the permissions issue that's been mentioned, so I haven't actually tried it yet. Their other widgets are great though. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth have different colours for off/between on and off/on/connected, which is really handy (Wi-Fi also shows the name of the network you're connected to).

ive just tried it now and it looks f#$%ing great! thanks for the tip.
i am using froyo though, so cannot say how it behaves on eclair...

Try switch off, paid app from market..its an..invisible widget on your home screen...also another tip for everyone who has adw launcher on...install any application that turns off the phone...goto adw settings and in system preferences enter to swype up and choose applications...from there you can choose the application you installed to turn screen off...result ? in every home screen of adw when you swype up your finger on the screen the phone is closing..

[Q] Screen black after screen unlock

I've noticed that sometimes when I unlock my device I have a black screen with only the "multi-task" button and the status bar visible. It will stay like this until I "lock" the phone and unlock it again. Touching the "multi-task" button makes the rest of the buttons appear but touching them still doesn't make the screen respond. I have noticed this on both stock and custom rom. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas on a fix or cause?
I am using the Virgin/Bell Canada GSM version.
Thanks
ps. I've posted a pic to give people an idea of what I'm getting....as it may seem unclear in my explanation.

At first this sounded similar to a problem I had.. I installed Wave Launcher, which for some reason did not play well with my phone. I would unlock the screen and the screen would immediately go black as if it had shut off, but I could still push buttons and receive haptic feedback. I had to have someone call me and delete the app while I was in the call.. it sounds kind of similar but not really.. my first guess would be some sort of problem with an app being incompatible.

I wanted to pass this on...I was reading in the Team Kang rom that there is a "bugfix version: app navigation menu icons no longer disappear after unlocking phone". So I hope this is what relates to my problem and has been "fixed"!

Multi-window buttons disappeared

Hello people,
I'm a long time lurker and first time poster
I got my GN2 a few days ago and absolutely love it. The only problem is that when I use the multi-window function, I don't see the "fullscreen" and "switch screen" buttons anymore. They were there when I got it, but they somehow disappeared.
I checked all the settings, but I can't seem to find a way to re#enable them.
I feel kinda noobish.
Anyone had the same problem?
Thanks in advance,
TG

I'm guessing you are tapping on that bar in the middle to make that button appear?

Hi folks, holding down the back button seems to make the multiwindow tab reappear. ..hope that works for you

The switch and full screen options appear whenever you resize the windows. Try moving the bar in the middle up or down and they would appear.

It didn't work before doing any of the above...
Now I just flashed a new firmware and everything is well
Thanks for the hints though

hold the back key will show/hide the multi- screen

Thank you very much for the hint.
i found out after your hint that holding the back key will show/hide the multi-screen option. so you can see the small blue button on the left side of your screen.

Damn. .. gone are the days people used to read the manual

Side Lock Button

So I found out real quick last night while playing with my 6 month old baby that this watch needs some sort of lock. When she was squirming around in my arms the Google Voice commands opened a dozen times and she tried to share some of my notifications and reply with Voice for a couple of text messages. And this was all within the first 15 minutes.
I was wondering if there was anyone else experiencing this and their thoughts. I saw a couple of lock screen apps out there but I was thinking with the Moto 360 it would be really nice if that side button was a lock / unlock button for when you want the watch to remain in the ambient mode and not wake up from screen taps. I know that the button switches the watch to ambient mode but it does not seem to lock the screen from touches. Might be a nice idea for future implementation as I have not used the side button for anything yet as the screen wakes when I lift the watch to my face.
What are your thoughts?

this exact thing happened to me yesterday! I have an 8 month old and the watch just attracted him lol

I don't have a creature, but I too would like for the watch to only activate when I want it to. I want to have to press the button to turn the screen on.

Have you guys tried Showear or Lockable? Both are free but Lockable charges for the pin unlock feature.

I don't want just a screen lock, but a lock that completely keeps the screen turned off until I press the hard button on the side. (To not waste battery when I definitely don't want the screen to turn on by touch and/or accelerometer). Does an app exist for this?

Have you tried to shower with it on?
It thinks the water is you touching it, and it goes crazy!

That is exactly what I am looking for. Something that keeps it in the Ambient mode until I press the side button and locking the touch screen. It seems like an easy enough option because the button really has no other use as you can turn the screen on and off by tilting your hand. So it would probably serve better as a locking button.

I do not shower with a watch on so I have not tried it. I am sure it would go crazy. Another reason for a lock button.

Yea a lock app or something would be nice mine is so sensitive I could sneeze and it turns it on..hope something comes about soon
Sent from my VS985 4G using XDA Free mobile app

I have come across an app called Baby Time which locks the watch and only allows a specific swipe gesture of up twice and then down twice. Kinda gets the task done but it would be a lot simpler if it was activated by the button on the Moto 360. Another comment is that it replaces the watch face you have with one created in the app which for some reason does not seem to have an option out of the 24 hour clock. I will use for now but I am hopeful that something better will come along. Also have to start the app by saying "Start Baby TIme"

Lol!

[Question] Galaxy s9 Vibrate and Screen On`

Hey guys,
New S9 user here and having an issue with it. Clearly I'm not using the correct keywords, otherwise I'm sure it would have been an easy Google, but I can't, for the life of me, word it in any way properly. Been living with this issue since I got it and I hate it!
When I have my finger on the bottom part of the screen while it's in my pocket, when I take it out of my pocket, it'll do this short vibrate and then the screen comes on at the lock screen.
I've disabled screen always on.
I've disabled Samsung Pay while screen off and even at lock screen.
I'm not really sure what else to try.
Thanks!

Sweet! Thanks!
I only had the Hard Press option enabled. Now disabled. We'll see if that fixes my annoyance!
Mucho gracias!

It was doing it to me too, take my phone out of my pocket and the screen was already on... Then after I noticed it happening regularly I did some investigating too and discovered that setting, was never something I would use anyway so off it went

The above only partially fixed my issue. I was getting weird, random vibrate when I picked up my phone.
It's the most annoying feature ever! It is called SMART ALERT.
Search it. Disabled it. Profit.
