Hello,
since I startet using several GPS-Tools, I discovered that it can be pretty engergy consuming because the backligh does not switch off if the device is locked, it just dimmes down.
Is there any way, maybe a registry-hack (but please no background running 3rd party app), to make the device switch it off entirely?
Thanks in advance
Has nobody any ideas?
Use psShutXP it has a turn off screen option.
Do you have a download link for it?

I got the donate version (love it) but i have moved apps to sd card on my phone, and i have noticed this program, along with a few others need to be started when you restart your phone, is this the case if your apps are on the phone? Also is there a means to tell the g1 what apps i would like it to run on startup?
the new version gives u an option to run at start up
Doh!!! now i really feel like an idiot... I blame linux for my brain frying.
Thanks alot got it set now
i went ahead and got the donate version and i really love the app i just hate how it goes to sleep when i am only using touch. but the app is making my iphone friends so jealous
Lock 2.0 Problem
Well I got the lock 2.0 donate version. Whenever I run the app for it to download the default.zip file it says "the application lock 2.0 has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
But the free version runs fine..
Can not find the donate version in the market - Bulgaria/Europe
Runs fine on my G1

I found a bug that i reported to the developer.
You can bypass the lock feature, click menu-set skin-back button.
Brings you to the homescreen not back to the lock screen
i liked the app, but asked for a refund becuz when lock2.0 was running, my notification sounds wouldn't work.
anyone else have this problem? i would get the LED notification, but no sound.

No he did not. I still get no sound wheter it's running or not. Hopefully I get it back when I uninstall.
this app worked fine until i turned on the option to have it open on startup. now my phone hangs on the android loading screen. it will not go past it. anyone else had this problem? i have tried to unistall via adb but couldnt figure out how to. any help would be great. thanks!
Grrrr... I uninstalled it, too unstable to be truly usefull. Restart the phone and you have to restart the program, I know you can set it to run at start-up but then it does not bypass that fugly "stock" locked screen. Notifications work on and off, made me miss so many emails....... I'll wait and see if dev can work all those bugs out, may be reinstall it in a month or so.
Weird, I don't have any problems with it. Yeah, when the phone restarts it goes back to the stock locked screen, but I simply enter my unlock pattern and done.
lock 2.0 notification problems
I've read in a few posts where people have notification problems, either no notificaton, or you cant pull down the notification screen etc. I had this problem too intermitantly, i played with it, and found a work around, hopefully help some others experiencing the same probs till the dev comes up with a fix. When you first boot your phone, if you have the proggy set to come on at startup, you have about 3 seconds, where it boots to your normal android start screen (half window, with time network information in it.) if you wait about 3 seconds, it will autolock into your lock 2.0 program. at this point your notifications are screwed, but if when it first boots to the normal android boot screen, and you hit the menu button, it will move to your desktop, and then autolock. You should be good to go at this point. everytime i press menu before it locks, i have 0 notification problems. Hope this helps some of you out there

not yet, haven't found if he has a place on google source yet (which means i've been lazy and haven't looked) doing all this surfing over edge connection is tedious at best, but i'll go see if i can find him, or her
It's Google code... oops, and yes i have posted a new issue
http://groups.google.com/group/lock2
That's his site.
Does anyone know if there is a soft reset/restart app available?
I am checking out a bunch of themes and hitting "Menu+End+Call" at the same time is a pain!
I am hoping there is a simple app that you just press, select to confirm, and it restarts the phone.
I have had a similar app for every smartphone I have owned except this one. WM5, Blackberry, etc.
I searched in several different ways and have been unable to locate this type of app. If my search wasn't extensive enough please let me know so the monitors can delete this thread.
Search the market for 'tReboot'
It notes on the market that the app only works with Dev phones.
I have a rooted phone - but, not a Dev phone.
That is exactly what I want... If it worked on a Rooted phone it would be great! Thanks for the info.
np sorry about that, didn't know what type you had or whether it would work or not on which phones, just saw it in the market while browsing around I'm sure the dev will make it better.
why don't you just long hold the end call button and press 'shut down'
Or you may get DroidSans Tweak Tools 0.87, it has a option for reboot ^^;
Or use adb (or terminal emulator) to enter the command
reboot recovery
then just wait for it..... It will reboot into recovery mode automagically!
DroidSans Tweak Tools works.
You could also use the gSript app and put a shortcut on your desktop with a reboot script.
I would think that would be the easiest way.
Yes, I just found the Gscript app today.
I think I am going to use that. I have Droidsans Tweak Tools - but, I think mine is the lite version. Didn't use the other version because my phone has JF latest mod on it and I didn't know that app added anything that wasn't covered by the mod that the lite version had.
"Or use adb (or terminal emulator) to enter the command
reboot recovery
then just wait for it..... It will reboot into recovery mode automagically!" - Kinda defeats the whole purpose of having something that is quick and easy.
Looks like Gscript will end up working best. Then if Buttercut will work with my Home program I can just give it a nice looking icon.
Thanks!

This is the route i use.
i though a lot of people knew this but guess not. if you press call(green) button+menu+end(red) button it does a soft reset

Of course, I know about that. But, when I am constantly checking out new themes and tinkering with my phone it is a hassle to keep pressing three buttons at the same time to reboot when I could have a button on the home screen to press without having to pick the phone up.
It is just a convenience issue - like the whole cell phone/smart phone thing to begin with. LOL

Agreed. On my phone I seem to have to be fantastically precise with the timing of all three buttons at once. Even with concentrated effort it most often brings up the dialler, the menu or goes into sleep mode (annoying). I put a GScript - Reboot shortcut on my homepage and it works fine.
I am also looking forward to a application that could reboot the phone like those found in Windows Mobile. As the above reply said, sometimes we may not press all three buttons together at one go. Seems like we got to wait.

Why wait for an app when you can use a script?
Download Gscript from the above posted links.
To create a reboot/soft reset/re-start script you just:
Open Gscript
Select the "Menu" button
Select "Add script"
Enter a name for your script - I entered "Re-Start" - but, use what you want.
Make sure "Needs SU?" is checked.
Enter "reboot" inside the large text window.
Select save.
Long press on your new script and select to "save to SDcard."
Go to your home screen. Long press in a blank area and go through the prompts to add a shortcut. Select Gscript and it will give you the options to choose which script you wish to create a shortcut for. Then you can use Bettercut to give it a nicer look (unless you are like me and using a custom home screen which won't work with Bettercut!)
Why not "reboot recovery"? Then you won't need to hold the home button when it reboots. Just a thought.
Good Day, I have for 2 years my SGS (i9000) and i´d noticed one unusual thing. When I start navigation and turn GPS on, when setted as car navigation, everything shows ordinary, but when I turn setup of navigation software into walk mode, I immediately change position by few meters and turn right or left. I am strafing then.
It is not depend on what software I am using. When I run navigon, when setings is for walk nav, everything shakes on screen and I am unable to use that.
Does anyone what can I do? Is there some kind of GPS callibration software? It is not depend on what firmware (rom) I use.
Thank You.

Hello, I'm having issues with my N6 after the Marshmallow But I am facing a problem that for each application, I am getting screen overlay detected. If I follow on screen instructions, in settings, I can't change permission. i cannot upload any images from my phone to facebook,instagram basically any app trying to access the drive on my phone. can you guys help solve this issue.
thanks,
A quick Google search for "screen overlay detected" found a lot of results indicating this is due to screen filtering apps that modify the screen brightness, such as Lux, Bluelight Filter, Twilight, etc.

Yes, they also prevent you granting root access to apps too. Lux is the most common. These apps put an overlay over the UI. Android protection prevents you pressing "serious" buttons in case it is the overlay working to malicious intents.

okay. I have called google support for five nights and not one tech support person was able to help me. After countless hours of fiddling i figured out how to fix this problem. Put your phone in safe mode (press the power off button and press on the on screen power off icon until it asks if you want to go in safe mode. Press okay) then once it reboots, go to settings, then apps, click on the facebook app or whatever app you have the problem with, press permissions and then turn on all the permissions (toggle to the right and it should turn green). Repeat for whichever other apps have this problem then turn reboot the phone and voila! It's fixed. :d

I was thinking going back to Lollipop, then you saved my days. This "Screen overlay detected" was driving me nuts as I have tons of apps that requires "Draw over other apps" such as Sidebar Launcher, SuperSU, Widgetsoid, Rotation Manager... almost 30 apps. So every time I install new app I virtually have to turn off the "Draw over other apps" for all these 30 then set the permissions then turn them on again. It's so frustrating. And if I stupidly reset permissions for all apps then virtually most are unusable. Now with Safemode I can grant an app all the permissions it requires without turn the "Draw over other apps" off.

Best solution out there. Tnx.
@jokeinc I don't have twilight, lux, or any CM apps. Your solution is the only solution to have worked for me. Thank you so much!
I have a Samsung galaxy s6 and it didn't work for me, i have tried everythings but the only way is go into ultra power safe mode and from here i was able to activate permissions for whatsapp. For activate the other apps i don't know what to do.
Sorry for my bad english but i'm desperate??
@Zack909: Desperate and in the wrong forum. This is the Nexus 6 forums. You'll need to ask your questions in the Galaxy S6 forums, as your device has Touchwiz, which our devices don't run.

Thanks but i solved the problemi. I just unistalled CM Locker
It's good you solved your problem. You shouldn't be running anything from Cheetah Mobile, as every single app they produce is pretty much junk.
Grrr
Omni swipe program can also cause this disable it or uninstall
For me it's just SwipePad that I use which has an always on overlay. If you know what apps are overlaying I've found a workaround you can setup. Ideally an app shouldn't have an invisible overlay permanently hogging resources so you should find and disable them permanently if they're unwanted anyway. An app like Elixir with it's "running" processes/services filtered to User can help finding the culprit.
So I use a workaround to quickly disable an overlay for permission toggling. A "Task Shortcut" that uses the Tasker Greenify plugin (don't know if pro is required) to Hibernate the overlay app/s, Wait for a configured time and then Wake. Note that the wake process takes five seconds to finish.
I open my shortcut from SwipePad itself for it to disable for ten seconds while I click away at permissions to my hearts content. When the time is up it resumes working normally and all is well :highfive:

I don't understand what you're doing. Your link is to a Task Manager Shortcut for Galaxy S3. I can see how Tasker could be used, but I don't understand how this app would be involved.

Oops, my bad. I'll fix my post. The app is AutoShortcut.

This is because of the apps that are using "draw over other apps" feature. You can just turn them off from settings. If you want a head up on how to do this, you can go to this link here. Fix screen overlay detected

i'm ready to put my phone in the garbage disposal over this error. i can't get rid of it and can't even download a simple APK file from chrome without getting it. I've done everything suggested in every youtube video and what you said above.
i turn off screen overlay for every app shown, which is about 30 and i have none of the so called problem apps installed.
i go into safe mode and try to turn on a permission and I STILL GET THE SCREEN OVERLAY ERROR. i have no idea what to do or what is wrong.
