Is there a way to make the stock "lock phone" program lock the kaiser when the screen turns off. I liked the throttle lock app but with it installed my camera button did not work. I really want something more like the iphone unlock.. i/e. "slide to unlock". It locks the screen when it turns off. Any help is appreciated.

Looking for a app that will wake/turn on screen when on sleep mode with a simple touch of the screen.
While Asleep>>>Touch Screen>>>Slide to Unlock
instead of
While Asleep>>>Back/Home or Menu Button>>>>Back/Home or Menu Button to Unlock
Anyone want this? or am I being picky?
its called Lock 2.0

Thanks Johnny,
I know of Lock 2.0 BUT it does NOT wake the screen by a simple touch of the screen.
I am using Hero and would like to keep the slide down lock it comes with.
What I would like is a app that will simply turn the screen on with a touch of the screen so I can then slide down to unlock.

Yes I understand that, but have you noticed that the screen ONLY responds to the HUMAN touch. You can NOT use a stylus or anything other than your finger/skin. So having it in your pocket with say keys or what not will not activate the screen.
don't think thats possible,
if it did, it would BE A HUGE BATTERY DRAINER.
good luck finding one =) , i think your over your mind with this app lol.

Really... I dont see it that way, but then again im not a app developer
I dont see the difference in having a app that will replace the need to hit a button(call,menu,home or back) with touching the screen.
I've had my phone in my pocket with the screen accidently on and have had all kinds of buttons pressed from inside my pocket, so I personally wouldn't have a use for that app. But if it works for you, I hope someone makes it for you.
The difference is you'd have to poll the touchscreen constantly for any input, where as the buttons don't us any power until they're pressed and the circuit is completed.
I'm not an app developer either. I'm also not retarded. Just because you don't know the inner workings of an operating system doesn't mean that you're allowed to ignore physics and common sense.

altho it only responds to human touch, it does detect touch through thin clothing, so if you put it in your pocket, it will still press the screen.
The system is set to stop polling the screen once its off. The system will not respond to touch while it is off. The support for this would have to be built into a ROM I believe
Hi Xdians
I tired to find this every where on your forum, market and google etc..
I dont know if any one felt a need for this or not because seems like this app does not exists (Which is not possible)
I am looking for a widget to turn off the screen, I am using SGS and its very annoying to keep pressing power button to turn the screen off. I need a widget on my screen by pressing which it turns the screen off then I can use home to turn on again.
Thanks a bunch in advance
Cheerz
Just another Android guy !
"Screen off widget" by seltzer from the market it costs about 1 dollar from memory its one app i cant do without as turning screen off with cover is pain in arse. it has invisible widget so you can put on homescreen without it looking crap just one tap and screen is turned off..
Thanks! Tragusman I will try that
you may also try "lock screen widget" which is free just touch the icon and the screen is off and locked. its better than using the power key
I tired both Screen off widget didnt work for some reason, however lock screen works the best thanks a lot Taha_e .. You guys are awesome !!

Hi there,
im just searching for a simple app, that i can launch, which will turn off the screen, nothing more. Ok, now you say search the play store and you are right, there are plenty of them.
BUT all of them have the same problem: The screen goes off first, then back on and finally shows the lockscreen. But im just look for off, nothing more. Does anyone know an app which does work correctly?
Thanks!

not sure if it is what you are searching, but try an app called Gravity Screen-Off, I use it and I've almost forgotten that the One has a power button on top

I am using turn off the screen app without issues. I like it because you can change the shortcut label and has really polished look to the icon.

I have also used the lock screen widget, but it takes up more memory and the icon is not as nice:

Thanks for the input. Gravity screen off hast the same problem unfortunately. Turns the screen off, it flips back on and i see the standard sense lockscreen.
@crushalot: I tried "turn off the screen" already, same behaviour as mentioned in my first post. Are you on a viper ROM? Im using InsertCoin...

Yes, I'm on ViperOne. (Not ViperRom, confusing isn't it!)
I have seen the issue you describe in the OT but I can't recall having that issue in months. Not sure what it has to do with, could be a conflicting setting/config in the rom.
Try searching on that symptom to try and track down what causes it.
ViperOne allows you to set the volume down button to lock which is nice. Also a custom kernel like ElementalX will allow you to use the htc logo to lock/wake.

If you're into using pie launchers you can use key 26 in lmt to turn off the screen.

Unless you disable the lockscreen or delay the actual time after the screen turns off to lock, you WILL see the lockscreen after turning off your screen.

What do you mean by this? I have not disabled the lockscreen (I use the productivity lock screen on every rom I flash) and changed nothing with delays and the app I referenced in my original response works perfectly on every rom I have tried.

From what I gather, the OP wants something to turn the screen off and make it NOT go to the lockscreen but the home screen instead, but I don't believe that's possible to do without disabling the lock screen or using an app that does so?
Although, I take that back. It is possible using Gravity Screen if you enable the "Disable Screen Lock" feature as it allows you to turn off your phone without the power button and doesn't enable your screen lock (unless you said in your settings that you want to activate the screen lock right after the phone goes to sleep). I have mine set to lock on power button and automatically lock a minute after sleep so that way, Gravity Screen does not lock my device. Although, this isn't the solution you were looking for per say.

Not completely right. I just want to press a button/launch an app and my screen goes off and stays off. Nothing more. At the moment it turns back on showing me the lockscreen which i generally want to use, but i dont want to see it in this particular situation . I hope all clarities eliminated ...
On my old One X with Android 4.1.2 everything works fine with those screen off apps...
@ crushalot: I will take a look at custom kernels, maybe they will help .

I honestly have no idea what you're trying to say now. Are you saying that the screen goes off, but comes back on after you turn it off? Or are you saying that when you turn it back on, it shows the lockscreen?

The first part is right . It just comes back on from itself, right after turning off in the first place. I dont press any button, the phone is doing this on its own.
(Launch the screen off app -> screen goes off -> screen turns back on -> shows lockscreen) -> after screen timeout screen off again -> stays off. This is what happens. The first part (in parentheses) happens in about 1 second of time.
Im using InserCoin with Sense and llama for automation.

Try disabling any screen off animations like CRT off.
Do you use any apps like Screebl? They are known to cause this issue.

Hm i have the CRT Animation activated at the moment, because i really like it, but maybe it interferes with the shutdown...ill keep that in mind, going to flash again on sunday^^.
And no screebl or something like this, screen on/off is a manual thing at the moment.

tried all of them and for me the best is the one called Turn Off Screen from marinelli.tv, you can find it on ggogle play. Work perfect for me on Android 4.3 sense 5.5. Maximus HD 21 rom.
I'm trying to find a "screen off" app that lets me turn off the screen (without locking it) by just touching the icon. I have tried 6-7 different apps. The problem is when turning off the screen it also locks the screen forcing me to use my password even though I'm connected to trusted devices or trusted places. Any one know of an app that will let me do what I want? Thanks.
