About this app

DESCRIPTION:

The app switches the screen on when you pick your phone and enables you to turn off your screen just by clicking the screen off notification or screen off widget. An essential feature of this app is that it eliminates the use of the power button to normally switch on and off the screen. This can be particularly useful for people having a damaged power button or to the phones in which it can be annoying to reach the power button every time.

** Note:
This app uses device admin permission to turn your screen off. You need to provide this permission when prompted to enable Screen off feature. However, the Screen On feature doesn't require any permissions.
**

Read the following instructions carefully to learn about the usage of this app:

- Click on the enable button to enable the pick to wake Screen On feature.

- Now as you pick the phone next time, you will see your unlock screen appearing without having the need to click the power button.

- Now click on the App -> Settings and Screen Off option. You will see a Screen off Activation request. Click Activate/OK. Now you will receive an everlasting notification.

- From the next time when you click on this notification, the screen will turn off.

- From here on, you just need to pick your phone to wake up the screen and click the App's notification to turn the screen off.

- Uninstall options: You may not be able to uninstall the app directly due to restrictions (admin) imposed by Android. Thus in order to uninstall the app, go to the App UI->Settings>Uninstall.

Ratings and reviews

I tried to edit my review but couldn't. Love the app and the no-nonsense user interface. The one big bummer I've discovered is this app will not turn the screen back on if the phone's screen initially turned off from natural timeout. The app only works if I manually turn off the screen first via the power button. Can this be addressed in a future update? Lovely app all things considered!

worked inconsistently. thanks for trying. When i would pick the phone up, the screen would not show most of the time. I tried to use higher sensitivity. Also, it doesn't seem that the phone understands the difference between horizontal and vertical states; it is just looking for a change in state. It did work once, but it worked when I set the phone down, not when I picked it up. Ideally, it would work just like the iPhone does, the screen showing when i lifted the phone from my pocket without having to press any buttons.

Well ideally if it works correctly on my phone I'd be all for it. But Everytime I press the turn off screen it pops back on within two to 3 seconds with out being lifted. I tested to see if the phone maybe on an unleveled platform, if maybe as I placed the phone down effected it, but lastly I had the phone flat on the sturdiest table and pressed the button to turn of screen very lightly and it always turned back on , I changed the settings of sensitivity and same. What am I doing wrong ?
