Speaker Proximity App

Just wanted to share this app for those that missed it. Works well and is very handy. Should be a stock option imo.
It’s called Speaker Proximity, and it allows your phone to automatically toggle between speaker and ear piece during a call by using your phone’s proximity sensor.
The app is not in the market, but you can pick it up through its Google Project page.

Only tried on one call and seems to works good! Thanks you for posting!

I haven't tried this on a call yet but I love the concept. My only wish is that it would toggle the microphone to mute when speaker phone is on so that I could just pickup the phone if I needed to say something.
So I went digging through the code and found just where to put it. I think this may get me to try my hand at android development. I do Java for work anyway...

Sweet, would be nice if this option could be incorporated in to cyanogenmod.

Wondering if this app would conflict with my Motorola Roadster bluetooth device that sits on my cars window visor while driving... Hmmm

Great app! works great on my Galaxy S Plus. I only wish it had the option to delay the switch to speaker mode for, let's say, half a second for the case I switch the phone to the other ear. Also the conference mode doesn't seem to work for me, but that's not a big deal.

I had a patch that did this on my pre and loved it.

yeah do that, i think that would be a great addon for it. you should also look into what the guy about 2 or 3 posts down said about adding a delay to it for people just wanting to switch ears. if you try, keep us updated. i know id be very interested in trying it out.

seems interesting, will give it a go, and see how it fares.

This app rocks! Uses very little ram and is a must when needing to use the dialer for menu options during calls
"Example: press 1 for english, press 5 for blah blah" it should be in all stock roms by default with a on/off setting

Working well on my galaxy nexus, good one

Did not work for me. I tried to place a call and the speaker never came on. Also when I would call someone my phone did not even make the ringing sounds as if you are calling someone.

Y'all should really give this one a try it's out together quite well.

Yes, but this is a "software" power button, he didn't mean the hardware one...

Another great app...Thanks!!
This will save on the wear of the hardware power button greatly. Just think about how many times a day you use the power button to lock/unlock the screen, this will cut the use in half. My old HD7 didn't even "click" anymore when I pressed the power button and I forgot that it even did until I got my new replacement HD7.

1- Yes, but only to lock the device.
2- It does not affect the battery.

first: sorry for reviving this old thread.
never thought I'd ever go back to Windows Phone 7 apps. My daughter dropped her WP7 device into water. Even after several cleaning and drying attempts the power button does not work anymore. All other buttons do work.
This app was a god send! thank you. Now she doesn't have to wait for the 30s screen time out
wonder if it's possible to create an app that does a combination of Vol down and Windows button to accomplish the same.
thanks again.

yeah thanks but I was probably not clear enough and I have this already on her phone.
what I meant is an app that changes the physical button behavior of Vol down and Windows button, when pressed together, to turn screen off. The screen off tile is OK for now. The problem is that once the screen is off the only way to turn the screen off is to open the keyboard (slide phone).
The other issue is that once the phone is off you can't turn it back on because the power button is dead. So you have to plug it into a usb port and it turns on.....
cheers

Volume wake?

Does anyone know of a mod (besides gravity screen on) to turn on the screen without the power button? My power button suddenly stopped working and I've seen that option in settings, but can't seem to find it on sensewiz. Thanks again

I believe you can remap your keys in generic.kl to wake with volume
check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203059
a very basic guide on how to get the .kl file then just edit as you wish

I have been looking for a solution for this for quite some time. I am using gravity off right now. I just tried to change this file many times. I commented out Key 116 and put the POWER in key 115, the vol up, but that didnt work. I then tried to comment out all the POWER buttons in the file and replaced VOL up with POWER button - that didnt work. Then i reverted back and added the WAKE to the ends of VOL up and down, and that didnt work either. After all changes, i reverted the permission to the correct values.
Any one get this to work? Stock rooted GB27.

I just took my phone into the sprint store, and they are ordering a new one. But its on backorder My upgrade is up in December and I'll probably go with the note 3, so I'll just give the new phone to my brother, since he has the EVO LTE but the screen is basically unreadable because he shattered the screen

Well I don't know the magic words I guess to tell the sprint store employee because about 3 months or more ago I told them I had this issue and asked for a replacement. The tech said he never heard of this 'common' problem.

[Q] Pressing top of power button won't "click"

I wonder if the behaviour with power button of the Nexus 7 (2013), like in the picture :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
That if you press top of the power button, you won't be able to activate the button. I wonder if this is general Neuxs 7 (2013) design fault, or the fault of my device only.
It seems that below the button something is missing.
I just like to know if you have the same experience.
PS: Pressing on the bottom of the button will activate it though, (of course pressing at the middle of it also).
Thanks for answer in advance,

Here is the guide to fixing the power button.

But it is generally a good reason to order replacement ?
(Aside from random restarts, problems with double inserting characters from keyboard, problem with stopping touchscreen input , and Camera app that sometimes even don't want to turn on or crashes after taking picture in "sphere mode" ~ unfortunately it's true

Those software issues can be easily addressed but it is your choice if you want to replace it because of a faulty power button. You can minimize the use of the power button such as by tapping on the screen to turn on the display and widget on your home screen to turn off. Or by using the camera and gyroscope sensor.

I'm not sure if the short periods of idleness (especially when you unlock device) of touchscreen is software issue.
I mean sometimes when you "swipe" it breaks the gesture.

This sounds interesting. I know there are widgets to lock the screen, but I am not aware of an app to replace the power button to wake up the tablet to show the lock screen. Our tablet does not have a proximity sensor.
How do you do it?
Which app from the playstore do you use?

It is not an app; it is a ROM that allows you to turn on the display by tapping on the screen. And I know it does not have a proximity sensor. That's why I said camera and gyroscope meaning turning the display on/off by tilting or waving your hand over the camera.

Yes, the Nexus does have a magnetic sensor.
Code:
adb shell input keyevent 26
Is the code for the power button.

I think either of solution would eat battery enormously quickly especially camera and gyroscope.

Any app or tweak to keep the screen ON during calls. I'm on custom ROM NOT based on stock ROM. So not option in Call Settings in Phone APP (Samsung ROM)
Please, respond, thanks !

No. U could always request for a xposed module for that. (Y would u want to keep ur screen on, may I ask?)

A similar question - is it possible to always keep the screen on when the phone is laying on the table (i.e. when the proximity sensor is not showing that I'm holding the phone close to the ear)? I tried to do it with Tasker, but for some unknown reason it doesn't work.

No such settings on my Note 2. I only have a Screen Timeout setting, but there's no way to give it separate values depending on whether there's an active call or not.

Let me clarify. I do want the proximity sensor to be active at all time. I just don't want the screen to go off if (1) the sensor reports that I'm not holding the phone close to my ear -and- (2) I'm in a middle of the call. If I am holding the phone close to the ear I want the screen to be off, and the same is true if I'm not in a call and just left the screen on. I want to phone screen to turn off after a minute or two.
The aforementioned setting is available on the phone, but does not help me achieve what I'm looking for.

What does the above setting change from what you want? Sounds like that's exactly what it does.
The proximity sensor is of no use for what you want.

If I uncheck "Turn off screen during calls" it means that the screen will remain on when I hold the phone close to my ear. I don't want that. I do want it to turn off in this case. I only want it to remain constantly on when the phone is not close to my ear and a call is taking place, but then it still turns off when the display timeout is reached. I'd like to find a way to disable the display timeout during calls.
