Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I don't know where else to ask. One thing that has always annoyed me about my phone is that there is no way to remove the lock screen that I have found. It seems redundant to always be hitting the power button and then sliding again to lock when it would be pretty much impossible to hit the power button by accident for me, and I can't imagine anything in my pocket working on a capacitive screen anyway.
Anyone have a mod to nuke the lock screen?
Try the no lock screen app on the market called No Lock.
Don't those apps prevent the phone from idling to sleep?
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

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
Is there any way to just turn the screen off, but not to lock the devise?
Tnx
I don't see the point of just turning the screen off without locking the device. Why not just close your eyes and then open them again when you want to see the screen?

Dont bother trying to be helpful, just being a smart ass will do perfectly
OP, try the app free from market called 'No Lock'
Haven't tried it myself, but it starts at boot time, some lock disablers don't

Ok
tnx it helpt
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 have my P5 which I love. But there's one annoying thing about it that I can't figure out how to toggle: When I turn off the display by clicking the power button, then when I touch the (now turned off) display again (eg whwen putting the phone in my pocket) it turns on in an "unlocked" state. The padlock on the top of the screen is unlocked and I can interact with whatever apps are displayed on my lock screen. If I turn off the display and put the phone down on a table then (at least after a while) when I double click the display it turns on and the padlock is now displayed locked and I can interact with anything until I actually unlock it using the fingerprint sensor.
So my question is: Is there any way I can make the phone lock immediatly and completely when I switch off the display by clicking the power button?
Thanks in advance

Actually yes. But I had that switched on but as it says: "Except when kept unlocked by Smart lock". That I had missed. Smart lock was switched on and I hope that was the culprit. It is now switched off
Thanks for the help!
