tilt 2 auto lock

hi, I am curious where to go to set the tilt 2 to automatically lock to the winmo 6.5's screen after like a few minitues of not use. I konw that if I press the end call button for a few sec, it locks it but is there a way to do it automatically after a few minutes?
thansk.

Try This
I can give you a suggestion, but I have the Verizon version, so it may be a little different. I also may depend on your ROM...
Goto Settings > System > Smart Lock. Checkmark Dim Lock box.
Goto Settings > System > Power. Select Backlight, set backlight dim time, and then your device will auto lock when your backlight dims.
I also use Gyrator to auto lock my phone when I turn it upside down. (I always insert in my pocket upside down (Reverse portrait), but I never use it upside down, and this prevents unwanted button/screen presses while in my pocket.)

thnak you so much for the reply. It appears to me that the ATT version has slightly different setting for it. I do see the lock option but that would require a password, anyway to still let it enabled without any password? anyone with ATT can shine some lights.

I believe the Lock Setting Devoncoon is referring to is fixed with SmartLock (app here on XDA). That might help to download that app, if you have not done so. Once you install it, set it up as Devoncoon instructed you, and you will not require a password lock.

[APP] Smart Screen ON

After the success of Smart Screen OFF, I decided to publish another app called Smart Screen ON available in LITE and PRO version too.
Smart screen ON
DESCRIPTION:
Smart screen ON is an innovative app which turns your proximity sensor into a power button. If you have a big phone with no physical button on the front(Galaxy Nexus for example, you can turn on or turn off the phone just tapping or waving your hand (finger) on proximity sensor.
FEATURES:
When you change the settings, remember saving and restarting service using built in app specific button.
There are two mode available, both mode can coexist:
+WAVE MODE:
Wave (move) your hand/finger on proximity sensor, even without touching it.
You can set the amount of waves you want to use to turn on/off screen and the time between each wave.
Do you want to wave your hand quickly or slowly?
+TAP AND SWIPE MODE:
1) Tap proximity sensor using your finger;
2) Wait for the first vibration;
3) Swipe (remove) quickly your finger, before it vibrates for the second time.
You can set the time before the first and the second vibration.
+DISABLE SENSOR
You can also disable sensor after an amount of time you can set in the app panel.
The app will disable the whole service and proximity sensor after X time of inactivity.
+STATISTICS
Statistics include:
A)Smart Screen ONs;
B)Smart Screen OFFs;
C)Total power button saves;
D)The power used by your proximity sensor (which is very very low).
+START ON BOOT
If you check this, the app will start on boot.
+HIDE ICON
If you hide the icon, the app could be instable and could be killed by Android in low memory conditions.
+ENABLE FOR TURNING SCREEN OFF
The app has been created to turn screen off, but I also give you the ability to turn screen off.
+DISABLE WHEN LANDSCAPE
The sensor will stop working when landscape.
+INCOMPATIBILITY
-HTC Desire HD is not compatible with "wave mode" because its proximity sensor doesn't work as it should.
If you want to suggest new features, please contact me on this thread, at [email protected] or use my site www.androidhd.it

Link to lite version is online
Will test this out!
EDIT: I believe there's a bug with Android 4.0.4 for apps that turn off the screen?
It turns back on after turning off for a while, happens in other apps that lock the screen too.

Great app!
I would like to use your app in combination with an app like tasker, llama or locale. Could you make a shortcut to enable or disable your app? Or a locale plugin? This way I could enable/disable your app when certain conditions are met. For example when I am at home it is active and when I am at work it is disabled. I have tried to kill your app automatically with llama, but your app restarts by itself.

Love this idea. Perfect for when I'm in class and want to glance at my phone. Bought the pro version, however it worked about 3 times then stopped. I see it was just updated so I have faith this will be looked at and become more stable. Thanks.

I have updated both LITE and PRO versions. Fixed a couple of little bug (check the changelog). The update will be live within 1 hour or 2.
Friends, if you have any problem please contact me at [email protected] . If you only reply on the Store I can't help you.
If you know how to do it, record a logcat when you have a problem and send the .txt file to my email address.
App is working flawlessly on my Galaxy Nexus AOKP M5.
Note: between 1 on and 1 off you have to wait 2 seconds.

Cool app!
I confirm the bug tho, after screen off Widgetlocker turns the screen back on for a sec(Gnexus AOKP build 35).

Just updated. Tried it about 15 times. Only worked once. I have it on the tap/swipe option. AOKP B35. CDMA GNex.
BTW, I'm not complaining, just providing info. I like the app. I'll be very happy with it once I get it working.

Just use any logcat app (I use rootzbox, catlog is free) start recording. Try to do whatever function you're trying to accomplish, stop recording, it will save a txt file on your SD, navigate to file with file explorer of your choice, share file

Kk, thanx, just sent it.

I just discovered a bug (I'm not sure it's related to my app or to the ROM).
You have to completely disable the lockscreen to get it working.
I'm currently investigating this issue.

Its the same for me running stock 4.0.4 if that helps.

There is a bug that affects Android 4.0.4.
I'm trying to find a workaround for 4.0.4 users.
Version 1.2 uploaded, check it out on the store.
It should work with 4.0.4 users without disabling the screen lock.
To workaround this, I had to kill timeout display timer (you have to turn off phone manually).

Works great now. Thanks.
Edit: I didn't quite understand at first. Its a bummer that the screen stays on indefinitely now, unless manually turned off.

This is the only workaround I found.
For some strange reason what worked for <=4.0.3 doesn't work on 4.0.4 .

Any way to keep screen always on for some apps?

Now on ICS, my screen turns off while driving on every app other than Navigation or Vlingo. Any way to keep the screen on while charging or running specific apps like Maps or Music?
Thanks in advance...

Before you use them go to settings and change your screen timeout. Under settings you can also change it so your screen stays on while charging. Other then that check the settings for the app. I know Pandora has a setting to keep the screen on or let it auto dim.

Where is this option in settings? Used to be there in GB, cannot find it in ICS.

Download Screen On from the market. That's what I use to keep my screen on while charging. You can set it to stay on for whatever app you want.

Several options...Screebl, Screen On, and my favorite...Tasker
Funny you ask this question. I've been struggling to keep my phone awake when on a phone call via bluetooth. I work out of my home office and use my phone with a bluetooth care speakerphone. Unfortunately the usual timeout settings don't work when in a phone call, so I couldn't simply set my screen timeout for, say 1 hour, and keep it on during a call. It would still turn off in both stock OS and CM9, which I'm currently running.
Yesterday I figured this out. I now use Tasker with the Secure Setting plugin. Secure Settings has a setting for "Wake Device" and I use the options of "Screen Bright" for Wake Type and "Manual - On" for Duration. When the call ends, I have an exit task for "Wake Device" with options of "Screen Bright" (not sure it matters) and "Manual - Off". Works very well.
But for other apps (that don't overide the system timeout settings), I simply have a Tasker profile that sets my timeout settings to 10 minutes. Could set it longer, but that's sufficient for me.
If you have Tasker, I recommend using it for this purpose...one less app needed. However, I've read good things about Screebl and Screen On, so both are worth a look.
btw -- be careful in leaving your screen on. The Amoled screens suffer from burn-in.

Just a word of advice you shouldn't leave the screen on for amoled devices. I have had this phone for about 6 months and my notification bar is slightly burned it but not to annoying since its always there. However my ex girlfriends samsung fascinate had icons burned on the screen. You could always see them. That was pretty annoying.

Another vote for Screen On. I've been using it for a while with great results.

[Q] Any way to unlock screen without pressing the hardware buttons?

Hi,
Is there anyway to wake up the phone without having to press any of the hardware keys?
Thank you.

There are several apps in the Play Store that offer different ways to turn on/off the screen other than using the hardware buttons. There's one called 'Gravity Screen - On/Off' that might meet your needs. Or just search for 'screen on' in the Play Store and you should get several other options.

Or use s-view type case

Some roms have ActiveDisplay or something similar, it uses the proximity sensor to wake up when the phone is removed from your pocket.

A custom kernel touchwake will do the trick, however you will need to be rooted with custom recovery and it will consume more battery from the touch sensor being awake all the time.

Remove the spen it wakes the phone up.

Try Tasker (on Play Store) . You could set up so when you shake it will wake up. There are so many things you can do with Tasker.

[Q] Stay on indefinitely

I bought a tabpro 12.2 to use in my office. It will be used for patients to register for events through our office website. The main problem I am running into is that the max amount of time before the tab shuts off is 30 minutes.
Problem 1: I need it to stay on indefinitely without going to black screen
Problem 2: Would like to know if you are able to use a customized screen saver. Such as a screen with a picture saying "Register Here" and then when they swipe it opens up to the page I want.
I tried searching the forum and online but can't find anything that is helpful. Sorry, I am a newbie at this so if I left out any information or if you need clarification please let me know.
I very much appreciate any help you can give!

For problem 1. Are you rooted? You could try Tasker and secure settings. That might do what you want.

There is an app called Wakey in the app store that will let you keep the screen on indefinitely. Install, Open, touch the light bulb. The screen stays on after you leave the app as long as you want. A notification in your status bar will remind you is in so you can go back and turn it off

You can tell the tablet not to sleep while charging by going to the developer options in settings. This menu is usually hidden by default so to enable it go to settings - about tablet and tapping on the build number 7 times. It should then have a message that developer options are enabled, you should see the developer options just above the about tablet in the list. There is an option in there to keep the tablet awake when charging
