[app request] unlock on removal from case. willing to donate

i have the offical HTC S550 slip case which completely covers the phone.
i would like an application that unlocks the phone when the proximity sensor does not detect the case and/or the light sensor senses an increase in light.
accelerometer support could be added for when the phone is held with the screen pointing your face (user calibrate-able) for people who do not have a front covering case.
im currently using no lock but i still have to press buttons to turn the screen on whereas my girlfriend who has an old blackberry just takes it out of its slip case and the screen lights up.
would be willing to donate money to whoever produces a free app to do this that is bug free and maintained.

Not easily done. Imagine if it is dark and also an app like that it would eat your battery as the prox sensor is continuously checking for light

I had software on my DHD wich showed me the power usage for the onboard devices. And the proximity sensor used the least power, it showed using 2~3mAh. So its not a big battery hog.
I will post later, if i rememeber the software

Flip cover / lock unlock app

I'm using the official flip cover for my note, and i thought it would be cool to use it like the ipad cover. What i mean is that it could lock and unlock by "opening" or "closing" the flip cover. I guess both light and proximity sensors should be used. I have tried some apps but none had the desired effect. Any ideas?

I was just thinking about this today.
Tried a few apps but for some reason the proimity sensor is not working well with the flip cover. The screen turns off with every thing else but not the flip cover.
Edit : this should have been in the Q& A section and not here.

Ok. after lots of testing found that with the flip case there is a problem.
If the flip is too close to the proximity sensor , the sensor for some reason thinks that there is nothing covering it. It could be beause the flip has an opening for the speaker.
Hence when flip is closed sensor apps dont work well.

I have tried many things too, i found out that the light sensor works much better than the proximity one with the flip cover

[V]Something tippy in the device.

can anyone confirm me what is "that" thing tippy in our device? i just try shaking my device today and notice that something is tippy in it. Sorry for my bad english.

What's tippy?

I think he means a ticking sound, likea lose part or something.
Don't experience that with my T though

The only thing I can think of that is supposed to move inside these phones is the vibration motor with its off-centre fly wheel/cam. If you can get your vibration motor to work, does the phone still tippy when you shake it? I was going to link to a vibration app from Play store but they seem to be quite....errr....innappropriate!
Everything else should be secure. I do not get any rattling with mine.

Yes. Lool like something is broken or lose in the device. Ive tried it several time, and the result is still same.hmm but all seems working fine.. Blootooth, wifi, data, vibrate, orientation and so on..

I also encounter a little "rattle" when shaking my Xperia V a lot. It seems to be somewhere near the camera, but I am not quite sure what could cause that sound. Who else can confirm that? Is this a problem or normal behaviour?

I think you mean how it carries the vibration when you knock it. I think it has something to do with NFC.or making it more shock resistant.

Proximity Sensor

Not sure if my sensor array is faulty? Screen keeps activating while against my ear and brightness keeps sticking at max level then screen stops responding?
Time to send it back I guess.

use the diagnostic app to test the PS, just run the test and move your hand across the front of the phone - if it's working then do an update repair with SUS or PCC and see how that goes
also note that if you applied your own screen protection it sould interfere with the function of the PS

Thank you - will try that. I can rule out the screen protector though

which sensor takes less power

I'm trying to decide wether to wake Google now with the mic "saying ok google" the proximity sensor "waving in front of the screen" or the gyroscope/accelerometer "shaking the phone"
I want to know if anyone can tell me which sensor consumes less power both screen on and off.

Shaking the phone seems like the worst idea, thing would go on and off in your pocket all the time. My best guess would be the microphone as the most efficient.
