About this app

It turns automatically the screen off when you put your phone into your pocket or onto a table. And turns the screen on when you take it out or up. No need to touch any button and you are ready to go. It's especially helpful if your lock key is hard to reach or the power button is broken.


The most popular screen on/off app. Reviewed by LifeHacker, MakeUseOf, TheNextWeb, Gizmodo and many others ...

KEY FEATURES
• Pocket Sensor: Turns the screen off if your phone is in your pocket.
• Table Sensor: Detects your phone is lying on a table and turn it off if not in use.
• Turn Screen On by Motion: If the screen is off and it's facing up the device can be woken up by moving it.
• Keep Screen On by Motion - Rise to Wake: It keeps the screen on while you are watching the screen. It relies on the small movements of your hand while holding the device.
• Smart Lock support: It's a workaround to make the Smart lock feature work fine on devices with Lollipop.
• Locale plug-in for: Tasker, Llama and others


UNLOCKED by IN-APP PURCHASE
• Better performance
• Widgets, Shortcuts
• Wider range for Rise to Wake Timeout
• Wider range for Table Sensor
• Suspend in Landscape mode

BATTERY USAGE

It should be not significant. I experienced about 6 per cent extra consumption on the test device. However it can be much higher by often using the Rise to Wake feature. Thus, keep your phone face down if you want to save energy.


UNINSTALL

Please, use the Uninstall button in the app. Due to Android restriction the app cannot be uninstalled on a normal way.

Unfortunately, the gravity sensor can't provide all necessary info for this purpose. Could you add an option “Turn on/off the screen by magnetometer”? My phone (Samsung Galaxy A13) does not have a real proximity sensor (it has a virtual one), but it does have a magnetometer. And I can easily turn my flip cover into a magnetic case by attaching a piece of magnetic adhesive tape to the lid. But I couldn't find any suitable application.

This app is a life saver!! And it works really well, has many options. I only wish it also had the option to program either of the volume keys as a power button (if that's possible). I have just now installed it so I'm concerned if it will drain the battery faster... I'll install some sort of battery alarm just in case, because my power button is broken, so is the volume + button, and the fingerprint scanner stopped working somehow. Thus far this app looks like a miracle, thank you so much.

Has nice features such as motion sensitivity settings, etc. . However it was not reliable. Kept randomly not working. . Even though I enabled it to launch at boot, it did not work. After rebooting I always had to re-launch it. . Seemed to interfere with manually unlocking my screen using the finger print sensor. Half the time, the sensor just would not work. After uninstalling Gravity Screen, it is back to working much more reliably.
