App for restarting phone

Is there an app which can restart the phone but without rooting the phone..

Why do you need that ? Just press and hold the power button for a few second, the Phone options will pop-up, just choose restart to restart the device.

look at the first app in the list dude. You just might have to actually READ the Apps description. other than that you have to root.

You could Quick Boot if you wish. Can also reboot straight to recovery and bootloader. Unfortunately I can't link to it as I've only recently joined XDA.

Quick Boot works on rooted phone only. He is asking for reboot app with no root access required.

I dun reboot that much..Just once a day..but I dun want my power button to get depressed because I have to rely on unlocking on the same button..which gets pressed quite a lot of times...
Also if you could suggest me some widgets or apps that can help me to lock my phone..I used extended controls which was not a great experience because when I unlocked the screen remained black till I switched on to some other application ..

I don't think it will harm the proximity sensor, it just that I don't like to see a red light on the proximity sensor light up when using this app as I guess it use more battery...and that's maybe the reason why they have a time-out to kill the app after certain time. Once the app is killed, you still need to press power on. Anyhow, this is my personal opinion only, nothing against the app; I maybe wrong.

Thanks tell me since when are you using this phone??do you find your power button by any chance pressed inside even a little??Also I dun think that it uses much battery as the Statistics posted by the App developer state..it would be great if someone would throw some light on it though..

Since Apr 3rd, two days after the HOX officially launched in my country. Do not really notice that, maybe because I seldom use the power button as my device is rooted, using quick boot for reboot, reboot to bootloader & recovery, swipe to power on and so on.

Why are you even rebooting once a day? It isn't necessary and will solve all of your problems.

Tv off effect

Is it possible to get the tube tv effect when I put my screen to sleep on the stock rom?

??

Its called crt animation and not on stock roms! Im sure in time there will be a custom rom that will contain that soon
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2

Try this
There's an app that I used on my TF101. It is a shortcut that locks your screen with a variety of effects:
Screen off and lock
It's free in the Play Store. No root required.

I dont want a custom rom on this phone.

What are you talking about? Did you even try to install the app that I linked to?

Lol

my bad, I meant to reply to tyshemi, not you. I did install that app. It does not work with the power button, and the animation is not as nice..=

The CRT off animation doesn't play well with JB from what I've seen a couple devs say, which is why it isn't even on the custom ROMs, so chances of getting it on a regular phone are slim and none I'd say.

I never said it worked with the power button. It's an icon you can tap; might actually be nicer. But I'm sorry to hear that you don't like it as much!

Thanks for the info. I kind of like the tv static plus crt close.
I have the off button on my screen now. For when I actually remember to use it, vs muscle memory of hitting the physical button.

No problem! Just a word of caution - When I use this in combination with WidgetLocker the unlock doesn't work. I had to turn the screen off with the power button then it worked again. Most likely caused by the way that WidgetLocker is an app and not a system function.

[Q] Looking for a Smart Screen Lock App

Hi there,
So I was looking for an app and done some searches but cant seem to see one out there. I`d thought I would post here as if there isnt one it could be a pet project for someone
Basically the app I am looking does this:
When on my local wifi network the screen lock is a simple pull down. However, when I venture outside it becomes a pattern/pin based lock screen.
So I wondered if there is an app out there that meets these prerequisites?
Thanks for reading!

Are you on JB ? Flash the Alex V S2W kernel, then you can turn the phone on and off by sweeping the touchbuttons !

Seems like a very interesting app to have if your power button is in an awkward place or broken for some reason. I don't find it useful for the Xperia S other than the fact that the phone is slippery as hell (just discovered this today, I never really take off my case and didn't realize how easy it would be to drop the darn thing without a case).

Haha...yes it's slippery
I bought XS and case and , like you, never take device out.
I forgat how thin and slippery it is.
And for sharing that app, maybe you could post that somewhere else, but then nobody would see it...
Tnx

if you want to try out some nice customization, you can try the new eos rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273821
It has crt animations, transparency... the works! and it's very fluid

true,there is lots apps like this... but most of them didn't work ....
when you hit , it doesn't give you screen lock, but instead give you blank screen, then goes to screen lock on display ..... ( or if they work, sometimes it's hard when you want to open .. )
trust me, i've try all screen lock app ...
but this app works perfectly, with this you got true screen lock
and you don't have to wearing out that power button, for screen unlock you can try wake up with volume mod ...

Cool app..would've been better if it can wake the screen up as well.

Interesting to see Screen Lock here
Hi friends,
Surprised. :good: This app is created by me , Good to see app info reached XDA before it's developer :laugh:
Want to fix any issues found in this app.

Knockr Brings HTC’s Motion Launch Functionality to Galaxy SIII

Guys I just wanna inform who dont aware of great news,htc features successfuly working on our phones
App working well on Galaxy SIII
Copy from xda portal post
One of the most interesting proprietary features of the HTC One M8 (2014) is undoubtedly Motion Launch. For those who aren’t familiar with Motion Launch, it essentially allows you to wake your device from sleep and launch certain apps with a few easy gestures such as bringing the device into a particular orientation and flicking your thumb on the screen.
As interesting as Motion Launch is, the feature is unfortunately limited to the M8. Luckily, XDA Forum Member Acela1230 created Knockr to bring some of the same functionality to various other devices. Now before we wet started, it’s important to note that Knockr is only meant for OLED devices. This is because the application keeps the screen “on” even when it is off, in order to accept touch input. This isn’t really an issue with OLED devices, as a black pixel requires next to no power.
Knockr currently supports several gestures including double tapping the screen, swiping in a particular direction (up, down, left or right), long pressing the screen, and pressing the volume up key. These gestures can then be defined to launch applications of your choosing or unlocking the screen.
So if you’ve got an OLED device such as Samsung’s or Motorola’s recent offerings, head over to the application thread and give Knockr a try.

It DOES work. S3 have an AM-OLED screen. I tested it and works well, the negative side is deep sleep (phone does not enter in deep sleep because it is awaken all the time by making the screen on but all black), but it is very interesting

yes it is working it have some bugs but its working
i don't think that the phone "dosen't go to the sleep" is a big problem in that case because AM-OLED screen don't consume much power when they are in black mode, just like the S5 when you use the power save mode it turn every thing black and white so that screen don't use much power to save battery
i have use that app like 2 days now and battery draining is not noticeable at all, the Rom i use ( imperuim rom ) hold 23 hours in standby mode when i used this app its 22 hours 20 min i mean u can give a few min of your battery life to this great app

I agree, i said that but i doesnt used the app for one day, i just oppened it to see how it works. The idea is fantatisc and your response answers many people who had this drain feeling because of deep sleep

Can any one use knockr tech in fake s5 fingerprint lockscreen!? I think this is awesome!

After check again...is working good...! My apologis for my wrong..!

Just an idea : Why isn't there an app wakes up the screen when we swipe our finger over the menu & the back capacitive buttons starting from left or right (forget the physical home button)?
This is a feature in kernels for phones without a physical home button known as the Swipe 2 Wake feature...
