Amaaazing screen off app!!!

This free app lets you turn the screen off by waving at the proximity sensor near your earpiece! No Widgets to press! Just the swipe of your hand!
Marketplace Search: ProximityScreenOff
A lil thanks if you like it will be appreciated ;D

The idea is nice but beeing left handed it triggers accidentally too much for me. Works pretty sweet though. Wish the prox sensor was on the right

Be cautious... Just tried playing with this on CM7 #B30, and almost couldn't get it off my phone. Also, didn't appear to work properly (I'm guessing its a Gingerbread issue). Not sure if these results are typical, but I had to reboot 3 times, uninstall through both the market, and app manager, and without being able to do nandroid yet, I was a little nervous.
Idea sounds great though. It'd be a fun trick to show friends, that's why I gave it a shot.

I am LOVING this!
This is the type of app that makes me go week at the knees! <3

You don't follow directions. And it worked fine on my gingerbread build. To delete it fully, you first need to to in to settings, locations&security, then select device admin. Untidiness the checkmark, and select deactivate. Then delete.
Personally this was a bit too sensitive for me, but very cool concept.

You're right, I didn't follow those directions because I never saw them. Regardless, it still didn't work for me, and I wanted to let others know of a possible implication. I even mentioned that I was unsure if the result would be typical.

If you'd read the information on the app market, before just downloading, you'd have seen.

Pretty cool but sometimes I use my left hand and lock it by mistake. And it doesn't disable when I'm in landscape mode for some reason. I had the check box for that feature checked. Is it supposed to be unchecked?

But yeah, I don't know how it'll affect my battery life, and half the time I couldn't get the screen to turn off I wish the sensitivity was adjustable. Uninstalled for now.

The Proximity sensor is on the very left side of the metal grill for the earspeaker thing in the front...

It's a good idea but its a bit too sensitive... maybe after a few adjustments, I'd use it. Nice find though!

This one is pretty chill, but I prefer tap tap app, you can turn your screen on and off with the sensor.

There's less than 300 votes on it, please spread the word, we need to get votes up into the thousands so Google notices how stupid their "feature" is!

I thought this is fixed in 4.0.3...

Voted. Hopefully Google does have this fixed in the next incremental update. It does feel like it takes a bit too long for the screen to rotate. I understand that they didn't want to have the screen rotating inadvertently, but I think they went just a little too far. It isn't awful but it could definitely use improvement.

It doesn't need fixing as it was deliberately set that way by Google - it's not a bug!
I like the delay as otherwise the phone would be changing orientation all the time as I move!!!

They should let users decide if they want a delay.

I like how people argue about how Android is so awesome cause of it's customization and it's open etc and then when there is a design decision made that people hate, others have to defend Google by saying how good the decision is and nothing needs to be fixed etc... If it's so great and open and customizable then Google should let the user decide if they want a delay or not.

@[email protected]????
There is no issue if you watch YouTube reviews it has been said that this is clearly a transition effect. Every person that has showed the screen rotation has the same effect and supposed "delay"
I think some of you are comparing it to the iPhone transition when rotating. AOKP has a speed up option I lowered mine and its fine.

Wouldn't that be the same as having the user decide to root their phone to make it faster? This topic is pointless, if your really that nit picky about an issue and want more to customize, then flash a rom. Cry me a river, build me a bridge and get over it.

did you do a sassy z-snap in the air after you typed that? because that's what i envisioned, reading it.

Do people realize that this is not a bug? Before 2.1, android had instant rotation but around Froyo, they added 200ms delay to prevent accidental rotation because it happens quite often and it's annoying. You could just look at the source for a moment and realize this. If you want to change this value, just change it back to 0ms or 50ms.

The delayed rotation isn't an issue, but it's pretty buggy and doesn't register often, like the sensor falls asleep and u gotta shake it to wake it back up - then it works fine again (with the proper delay).

I always chuckle when my wife shakes her phone, thinking it will wake up or rotate due to shaking

It's like my Dad when he used to move the Nintendo controller when Mario jumped - couldn't stop laughing!

Horizontal line

Pulled my new galaxy s 2 out of my pocket and noticed a thin horizontal white line about 1 inch from the top of the screen, Only on the lock screen. I changed lock screen background and reset the phone but it s still there in the same location (edge to edge). There is no physical damage to the screen and the line is not visible any other time (home screen, pictures, games all fine so far). Anyone else seeing this? Screen shots soon. Maybe normal and i never noticed it?

This happened to my phone except on the bottom just one line acroos the phone it would be on all screens and then sometimes it wouldn't be there. I warrantied the phone.

My vibrant did that after I dropped it. :-( the glass cracked and broke the digitalizer.

Can anyone confirm that they do not have a horizontal line under the clock on the stock lock screen like the picture attached?. (not my lock screen btw) after looking around on google it seems this may be normal, but it's hard to find pictures of just the lock screen for the stock rom...thanks for the replies...Not sure how i missed it if it is normal...

not normal. Seems like stuck pixel. Since its an led screen each pixel is an led basically. I would return it if you could if not try to run a test. you can find one from the market just dont remember the name.

noooo. he took a screenshot...that means that a picture of the image being sent to screen for display to the user. Screenshots do not show hardware defects. I believe this to be a bug in the system. I would odin back to stock and post back with results. Not factory reset...odin
edit: if it IS a hardware defect, then it is probably the graphics chip that renders the image that is going bad...not the actual screen

Picture i posted is not my screenshot, gound that with google and added the arrow...i can confirm the line is not visible on any other screen just lock..i really just dont recall seeing it before. Used a screen test app and all screens look ok to me...

then it is most probably just a bug. Are you updated to latest Kl1 firmware? If not, you can update through odin without losing your data. If you are on tha latest firmware and dont want to go through the hassle of odining stock again and setting up everything again then i would just not worry about it as its only on the lock screen

Screen
I do believe that's a design element. I have the exact same thing on the lock screen and I have a brand new phone made January 20th.

I had that when i updated to kl1 or when i used one of the first versions of juggernaut. Just do a fresh install or odin/factory reset from phone.

Yes, it's definitely a graphic design element. Most telling is that the same line on my phone, running GingerSnap, is a reddish-orange color - in accordance with the rest of the reddish-orange theme for that ROM. Lol

Features I have discovered in the Optimus UI

This is my first time I have used an Optimus UI phone, so everyday I'm discovering cool new features that are actually pretty usefully. I thought it would be cool if we could share these findings. I'll start...
Quick remote will pop up on the lockscreen by tapping the home button. F#####G brilliant! I owned the HTC One and S4 they both have the IR blaster that allows the control over the TV. But no quick way to access it on the lock screen.

Ohhhhhhhh...thats why the quick remote shows up in my lock screen even tho i didnt set it to be there, i thought something is wrong with my lockscreen lol, didnt know that i just keep pressibng the home button lol, thanks!!

In the quick remote app, when you add a new device, try answering no to some of the questions even if the buttons work. I discovered different remote layouts that still are completely functional. You might discover extra buttons that aren't available on the first profile it finds for you.

Lock screen app problem

So I downloaded a lock screen app to double tap my screen to put the phone to sleep. It puts the phone to sleep for a sec and then the phone wakes back up.
Is there a setting I need to change?? I've tried a few and they all act the same.

yea like I said those .apks have been flaky on newer Android systems.
I personally stopped using them and have been finding alternate methods,
such as this for Samsung.
With time I will be trying to see if this lock button works on HTC as it does Samsung seen here (the lock button) - presss to act as power button, long press to act as power button long press.
Very cool actually, and you get used to pulling down the status bar to turn phone off.

Works really well and best part it's quite simple to add.
Will be testing today to see if it works.
If so, you can send me your SystemUI.apk and I'll hook you up with it,
unless you use my ROM in which case I'll have a patch made for it as it'll be included into the next release.
