***************************************
************ DESCRIPTION *************
Smart Screen Off PRO it's a simple and light app which uses the Proximity Sensor built in your Android smartphone to turn the screen off and on automatically.
**************************************
************** REASON ****************
I decided to code this app when I bought my Galaxy Nexus: this device doesn't have any physical button on the front screen. Being a quite huge phone, it's quite difficult to press the "turn off" button every time I wanted to turn it off and on. So I needed a way to turn the screen off every time I put it into the pockets and off when removed.
**************************************
************ HOW IT WORKS *************
The app itself is a toggle button, to switch it on just press the App Icon. Then every time you put the phone into your pockets the screen turns off.
If you put the smartphone upside down on the table, the screen turns automatically off.
NOTE: It doesn't lock the screen (just like in a call)
**************************************
************ REQUIREMENTS *************
In order to use Smart Screen Off, you need to have a phone with Proximity Sensor (nowadays every smartphone incorporates one).

installed on my GSM GNex and screen was going on/off while on calls. i removed the software and now my proximity sensor is doesn't work correctly. i make calls and the screen only goes off 1 out of 4 times and, when it goes off, it comes back. i wiped the cache and dalvik cache and that didn't help. last resort is reset and reinstall all apps, etc. i know this is not what you intended to happen, just reporting my experiences... disappointed that i have to reset to get the sensor back to normal function.

Hey, everytime I am in a call, my ear taps the taskbar and it opens the notification window which covers my call screen. I have googled and searched this forum with no success.
Apart from TouchLockPro, was just curious as to if there is anything that addresses this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Do you have something (case?) blocking the proximity sensor? The screen should be turning off as soon as you put the phone to your ear.
Yes I do. I've just tested it out, that seems to be the problem. So is there any tweak to prevent this?
i know even with the screen turning off with the proxy censor i will find i am in the screen with the connections and battery info when i am done with a call... its kind of annoying and worrys me a bit i might accadently end the call when the screen is off.... also the flip over to make it a confrence phone is a 50/50 thing... this device is so glitchy
I randomly get this too, I think sometimes the sensor isn't used.. There are times I've noticed I can cover it up completely with my thumb and the screen doesn't go off, but other times it works just fine.

Tweak...some testing to see where the sensor is (somewhere along the top near the HTC logo) and an X-acto knife to the case?
same thing happens to me, most of the time somehow I turn on airplane mode and the call disconnects.. sigh
TouchLockPro has a feature which turns the screen off using the G-sensor, but it's not just for calls, if you have it horizontal it'll be on, and if vertical it suspends/screen turns off; this would be good if it was just for calls, especially for those that use a case.
I'm just starting to use TouchLockPro (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444215) and I have most of the locking features turned off - I just hit the power button if I want to lock it.
It does keep the screen locked during a call so I no longer hit the buttons. Plus - when it unlocks I'm right back, exactly, where I left off.
There's lots of options to tweak, I think there's something for just about everyone.
I LOVE unlocking with the zoom bar - first time I've used that thing on my phone

~Eric
thanks! works like a charm now, is there any way to lock it if it is idle for like 30 secs or something without havin to hit the power button
There's a number of ways to lock it using the various sensors - you can try one of those and see what fits your habits / style best. You can also click on the BattClock icon to get the menu - the lock icon is right there. That's 2 steps though...

I'm glad I stumbled onto this thread. I have been using pso pro for a while now and have loved it. But the other day I updated from CleanROM 3.5 to 4.8 and now the app is screwey. I have set to disable in landscape mode which worked flawlessly on 3.5,but it's not working on 4.8 at all. Also the sensitivity is jacked way too high. If I even get within an inch of the sensor it shuts off the screen, which really sucks when I'm watching videos in landscape (when the app shouldn't be enabled) and just holding the phone turns off the screen. So I turned the sensor sensitivity to low, but it still does it.
Also I have it disabled for calls and when the screen is off when receiving an incoming call it works ok, but if the screen is on it will turn off, and every time I turn the screen back on to answer the call it goes off by itself instantly every time. I tried turning the screen on by waving my hand across the sensor, and by pressing the power button, but as soon as the screen comes on it shuts off instantly until the phone stops ringing. I've literally missed dozens of calls because of this and it's infuriating.
Any ideas?

My problem is it does not turn the screen on every time I open the cover. It seems to just stop after a period of time, then stop working. I have to stop/start service to get a period of proper function. I have not changed any settings at all....

As many of you know, this annoying bug still isn't fixed in any AOSP rom for the G3 after all this time. For me, it's worse than the slightly worse camera issue, because after a few days, I always give up and go back to stock because it's really annoying when, for example, I have to make a call in a hurry and this happens, very frustrating.
Some findings about it:
- Doesn't happen in all the calls, seems to be random, but longer calls seem to produce the bug more frequently
- Enabling touch feedback in dev settings shows what the problem is: there's a ghost touch present on the screen (sometimes more than one) after taking the phone from our face, which makes it seem the screen is being pressed while it's not in reality
- Swiping the screen with 2-5 fingers in any direction makes those ghost stucked touches go away
- Brightness is decreased when this happens
Possible fixes I tried and none worked:
- Enable immersive mode for the dialer and disabling swiping on the status bar to change brightness - makes the brightness bug go away but not the stuck screen.
- Disabling proximity sensor in calls - works, but the screen is still on, sometimes I disconnect the call with my face by mistake.
- Some combination of llama or tasker profiles - Could work but I don't know how to. My solution would be "when in a call, and turn off and lock the screen - then, when we take the phone off our face, turn on and unlock the screen. This would theoretically work, don't know.
So, any ideas?
I just bought a refurbished Tab S and it looks like it hasn't even been used. It came with Android 5 and I didn't notice the problem, although I only used it for a few minutes before doing the OTA update to Android 6.0.1. Although everything seems to be working, if I grip the tablet between the lower right corner and the usb charging port, the screen blanks. Then when I remove my grip from this location the screen comes back on! I know ... weird behavior, right? It only happens in this area and it doesn't happen if I just press on the back or on the screen in this area. I have to actually grip on both sides. It's a beautiful tablet and I would hate to have to return it, so I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to fix it. (In everyday use it is just to annoying to aviod touching this area.) I read a post by vndnguyen (14-Jul-2015) on this forum that said:
---------------------------------
Our Galaxy Tab S has a Grip Sensor. You can check it by:
1) Use *#0*# to open Hardware Test, select GripSensor. You will see the grip sensor is located at the upper-right corner.
2) Use *#1106#. You can set the Grip sensor on/off.
-----------------------------------
So maybe I could fix the problem by turning the Grip sensor off. However I couldn't figure out how to enter these secret codes since a wifi only tablet doesn't have a dialer. I found an application called "Secret Codes" with an icon that looks like a lighted match. It listed a code with a #0 for hardware test. I pushed that button and it said it was invoking the code but then I saw no response from that.
Would selecting "Factory Data Reset" from the Backup and reset settings menu be worth a try to fix this problem? (Would I have to do the Marshmallow update again?).
By the way, here are some additional things I did to see if I could make the problem go away (to no avail):
- Starting the tablet in Safe mode
- Turning off automatic brightness, screen rotation, smart stay, screen timeout, Adaptive display, and screen tone auto adjust
- Turning off lock screen
- Turning off Palm swipe to capture
Any advice would be highly appreciated.
