App to turn off screen WITHOUT locking?

I have looked all over and can't find anything on this... I simply want the app/widget to turn the screen off the way the power button would and let the system defaults take over from there as far as locking.

Thanks a ton! man... i seriously tried like 15 of these kind of apps and this is the only one that worked. I had not tried it before due to the chinese writing in it and thinking it would be that good. It works great though... doesn't lock the screen!

I'm curious... With the knock-knock feature, why do you need this? If you're at your homescreen to press a widget, presumably you can knock-knock to turn the screen off too? Actually I think knock knock on the status bar anywhere and the screen turns off...
Is it because your knock-knock locks the screen? Because that can be disabled as well.

When using a different launcher such as Nova, or to place it in a widget.
Thanks Devs, from my LG G2

I use nova gestures to set double tap and link to the app you just downloaded to turn screen off. I believe nova prime is required for this to work but don't quote me on that.

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but I'm trying to achieve the same thing using nova but the app you've suggested seems to automatically lock my phone too!!
I just want to do as the op said, turn off the screen without affecting the lock settings or locking the phone there and then.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or alternatives?
Maybe the app has changed since this thread was started?

Main reason being that i still want to keep the lock code... i just dont want to have to keep inputting it everytime i need my phone. Often, i'm having a convo and will be answering messages and will literally pick up/put down my phone 5 times a minute so i'd like to employ the time system default lock delay.
Any other ideas? :

What about settings>security >screen lock >none? This is what I did and it works great ?

Try setting up Lock timer and unchecking power button locks instantly in lock screen settings (I don't know exact translations, sorry).
I have timer set to 30 seconds so if I turn screen off and immediately recall I wanted to do something, screen is not locked yet.
These settings should be available on every Android device, I was using it even on my old Nexus S. I only noticed on G2 that if I'm using knock code, screen can't be turned back on using simple double tap even within timer interval and I have to use knock code. But power button asks for code only after timer interval.

Smart Unlock
Hey. Sounds like you need the app 'Smart Unlock' from the Play Store. It's been developed by some off the top guys from XDA.
It works by turning off the need to enter the lock screen pin/pattern when you're connected to a safe or known Wi-Fi network or Bluetooth device.
For example when you're at home just tell smart unlock that it can trust your WiFi network and BAM! Never need to enter the unlock pin again once connected to that network. It will bypass it completely and just present you with your home screen. Sounds exactly what you're looking for ?

It's not quite the same either. Because it still requires you to be connected to a wifi network or bt device and it does not work on the go, but more of a area based situation.
I am also still looking for an app that can turn off screen without locking the device, essentially mimicking the power button entirely. I want to leave in place the locking ability of the OS after 15 seconds-30 minutes.

I am looking for the same functionality. Every app I tried manages to go and lock the screen when it turns off. I was using CM roms for a while where we can add a shortcut that puts the display to sleep without changing the lock settings. This mimics the power button behavior. So far no luck with finding an equivalent app from play store

I found this: "Screen Off" by an awesome developer Konreu. Please remember to send him thanks and 5 star ratings.
http://android.konreu.com/applications/screen-off/
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.konreu.android.screenoff
It mimics the power button almost exactly without requiring root. Because of Android limitations, it takes about a second for the screen to go off.

It's hard to believe that an app that does such a simple thing as turning off the screen can't be found.
I have tried a dozen apps and they all turn off the screen AND lock. I'm looking for an app that does just what the op said; turn off the screen and follow android's lock settings (lock delay, etc).
We're almost there with the app that Sepero suggested, but the screen takes a second or two to shut off because there' is an animation you have to choose from. You can't just straight shut off the screen.

I found workaround, working good for me. But you'll need Tasker and root for this:
— create task with action "Run Shell",
— insert command "input keyevent 26" and set checkbox "Use Root"
This command emulate a power button press.
It works good, but not too fast for me (it have about 0.5-1 sec delay), so I add vibration and screen dimming for immediate reaction.
Here is description of this task:
A1: Vibrate [ Time:60 ]
A2: Variable Set [ Name:%prev_brightness To:%BRIGHT ]
A3: Display Brightness [ Level:0 ]
A4: Run Shell [ Command:input keyevent 26 ]
A5: Display Brightness [ Level:%prev_brightness ]
I can export this task in standalone apk, if somebody need it.

Ahhh brilliant! Thanks BusinessSausage.
I have already bought Tasker a while ago on my S5 but never used it. I knew it would come in handy one day. Works perfectly on my S6, without the delay you've mentionned. Simply using "input keyevent 26" turns the screen off right away and doesn't lock it.

Features include:
Control your music playback and see what's playing right from the Dot View cover.
Add gestures to the case and customise them.
See notifications at a glance, with support for all Android notifications. (enable the listener in Settings -> Security -> Notifications access)
* See the full notification when it first comes in: your notifications scroll across the screen.
Quick dial contacts right from the cover, with support for up to 9 shortcuts spread across 3 pages.

Yep, I realised email was bad for this kind of stuff since a lot of it is repeated.
I'm done with exams, so there should be more updates now. I've already added a torch feature.

Awesome, looking forward to it!
I have a couple of suggestions:
- Is it possible to make it so that none of the apps are turned on by default for notifications? So that people have to add the ones they want rather than untick the rest that aren't really useful?
- Is it possible to disable gesture controls completely? so no menu or music control etc?
This module will be perfect for me if it is as close to stock as possible, with the addition of custom notifications of course
Anyway, keep up the awesome work :good:

Believe it! Play SNAKE at Dot View. also play song.

I'm having trouble with it actually wo4king for long periods it will stop displaying notifications after like the first notifications (so after a message it will no longer work) also the dialer will work when it wants too I've had like 3 instance now were the phone will stay stuck on the dot view look even if I open the flap... I've Uninstalled it and reinstalled same issue
Any suggestions???

New version is out:
Major features:
Custom gradient support, pick the top and bottom colors from the settings app. Non scrolling text now uses this gradient.
Torch feature, either using gestures or menu items
For everything else, see the change log on Xposed.
Reboot immediately after installation.

If it sticks on the screen, that's actually a crash, I'd need a logcat to debug that, but you need to use adb to get that.
The new version, however, has some bug fixes that will should reduce (or prevent) crashes. Try seeing if it still happens there.

You'll need to add it to the main menu in settings, same goes for the dialer.

I'm going to need a logcat filtered for AndroidRuntime. The reason the screen is stuck is because behind it is a dialog that says DotMatrix has stopped working and you'd need to click okay (which you can't).
But still, a crash is a crash and it needs to be fixed, so please, post a logcat

[GUIDE][Difficulty: Intermediate] Hold/Swipe-up Home Button to Enable One-Handed Mode

A few months back, I wrote about a hacky way to enable one-handed mode using a shell script, taken from this reddit thread. With this task (provided you have root access), you can enable one-handed mode just by holding down the home button or swiping-up from it.
Prerequisites
Root access
Instructions
(For Android 6.0+) Go to Settings --> Apps. Press the settings cog up top, then go to Default Apps. Enter "Assist & Voice Input" and for the "Assist App" choose Tasker. Be warned that doing this will stop the "OK Google" on every screen (and off) from working, but if you're okay with that then go ahead and change it!
(For Android < 6.0) Clear the default app that is set for swiping up from the home button. You will enable Tasker as your default app after you're done following the rest of the steps below.
Create a new profile and name it whatever you want, then choose the Event context. Go to UI, then choose Assistance Request.
Back out, and create a new task named 'Overscan' or whatever else you want.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, we'll make the actions needed for the task itself.
Task --> If. Set the condition to %Overscan eq 1.
Code --> Run Shell. For the Command, type in wm overscan reset. Check "Use Root" and then back out.
Variables --> Variable Set. Under Name, choose %Overscan, and set it to 0.
Task --> Else.
Code --> Run Shell. For the command, type in wm overscan LEFT,TOP,RIGHT,BOTTOM where each of the directions are the pixel counts that the screen will shift in. On my Nexus 6p, I've set it to wm overscan 0,845,0,0. See my article for examples.
Variables --> Variable Set. For Name choose %Overscan and set it to 1.
Task --> End If.
That's it! Now when you swipe-up/long press the home button, you'll launch the Overscan tasker task which will shift your screen depending on whether or not it has already been shifted. The %Overscan variable is a global variable that is set to 1 if the screen is shifted and 0 if not.
Of course, this isn't the only thing you can do with long-pressing the home button. You can also do and set the Assistance Request to open a web-search overlay on any app.

Thanks for this great guide! I first set it up as suggested and then switched it to a shake event, quite handy. I might end up using this with a swipe gesture from Nova launcher.
Do you have any idea how we could realize a shrinking screen just like Samsungs one handed mode? Example here -> http://www.androidcentral.com/sites.../2015/09/note-5-reduce-screen-size-screen.jpg
I did some research and I think it might work using the commands "wm size" and/or "wm density", but I have very little knowledge about how to use them properly. Maybe you can help me out on this...?

To mimic Samsung's implementation, you will have to change the LEFT and RIGHT parameters. However be noted that it will really mess with a lot of apps and they won't display properly.

Experiment a bit. Make sure you set a fail safe to revert it back to normal, say if you shake your phone.

[GUIDE][Difficulty: Beginner]Switch phone on/off using a flipcase

Hello guys,
I was totally stunned, when I saw that there's a member lead tasker forum. I love tasker and couldn't imagine a phone without it.
As I want to spread my thoughts here are several profiles coming for you
Requirements
Secure Setting
What does the script do?
Simple. It turns on your phone, when you open your flip case (or e.g. take it out of your pocket) and turns it off, when you're on the lockscreen and approximity sensor is cover (e.g. put it back in your pocket and/or close your flip cover).
Let's get started
Profile 1
Code:
[B] 1. State -> Approximity Sensor[/B] [I]check reverse
[/I] 2.[B] Enter task and name it[/B] [I]"turn display on"[/I] for example. Add the action[B] Plug-In --> Secure Settings --> Configuration --> Wake Device[/B].[I](Choose Wake Type Screen Bright; Duration 5 seconds)[/I]
Now exit the task section and add to the contexts of this profile:
- State --> Display State Off
- App --> Dialer App [your phone's dialer app]; Check reverse
Done
Profile 2
Set up a new profile
Code:
[B]State --> Approximity Sensor[/B]
Enter a task and name it for example [I]"display off"[/I], go to plug-ins --> Secure Settings --> Lock device [I]You have to enable device adming and grant Secure setting Device admin privileges[/I]
Exit the task and add to the contexts of this profile
[B]- State --> Variable value[/B]: Conditions %DISPLAYOFF ~ 1
-[B] App --> Dialer App[/B]; [I]Check reverse[/I]
Done
Profile 3
Code:
[B]Event --> Display --> Display on[/B]
Add the task [B]Variables --> Set Variables[/B]: [I]Name %DISPLAYOFF to 1[/I]
Done
Last Profile
Code:
[B]Event --> Display --> Display Unlocked[/B]
Add the task and name it "display unlocked" for example: [B]Variables --> Set variable;[/B] [I]%DISPLAYOFF to 0[/I]
Done!
Please don't forget to enable the proximity sensor under settings-->Display-->Proximity Sensor-->Yes, so the display can be turned on, when proximity sensor is triggered
So that's it. Very simple but saves you a lot of time.
Please feel free to post some imrpovement suggestions, thoughts or anything else that comes up your mind. I'd really be happy about it-
Love follow

Okay, I tried to implement this, but using the 4 profiles does not do anything with my phone. I am using an S7, with stock ROM and Android 6.0.1
Tasker is enabled and shows the flash in the status bar. But it always says that no profile is active. Of course, I enabled the 4 profiles.

Is there any setting in Tasker I need to enable or change in order to make this running?
The four profiles are already enabled and Tasker is active, showing the little flash in status bar.
But closing the lid or blocking the proximity sensor does not do a thing.
Cheers man for your support.

Is there any setting in Tasker I need to enable or change in order to make this running?
The four profiles are already enabled and Tasker is active, showing the little flash in status bar.
But closing the lid or blocking the proximity sensor does not do a thing.
Cheers man for your support.

Hey. Yes, there is an option you have to enable within tasker.
Go into Tasker, hit the three dot menu, click on "settings". Under "Display" go to "proximity Sensor" and click on yes. This will allow the sensor to be triggered, when the display is off.
Additionally you can check, if your secure settings "System + Module" is enabled within secure settings.
Please try this and let me know if it works now
Cheers follow
EDIT: I'll change this in the OP, too!

Oh no...I just saw that secure settings needs root access. This I wanted to avoid with the S7. Damn it....
I guess it is related to the issue.

Yeah. It's kinda my fault that I didn't mention that these profiles need root in order to work. I'm sorry that it won't be running on your phone then maybe you stick to one of the apps from the play store, which do pretty much the same.
Cheers follow

Do I need the Pro Version of Secure Settings? I rooted my device now, could remove bloatware and use root browser, but secure settings shows "no root detected" (?)

Use the app "root checker" from google play to verify if root is installed properly. If so, please enable the system+ module in secure settings. No paid version needed

It says properly installed. It must be properly installed because I could grant root access for other apps.

Well I don't know why Secure Settings isn't working for you (I'm not a dev). Unfortunately the developer has stopped working on the app 2015, so this might be related to it. But maybe you post your problem in the secure settings thread.
I'm really sorry, that it doesn't work on your device and with my little knowledge I'm not able to provide a workaround. Sorry bro
EDIT: Just an idea....could you check your super User app, if you really granted Secure Settings root permissions?

Oh, that's a good point. It does not show Secure Settings in SuperSU app. How can I add it there?

Could you just run a task in tasker, e.g. "Time --> 13:35 (or whatever is close to now) --> Task--> Plug-In --> Secure Settings --> Root Actions --> Airplane mode on"
In fact there should be a prompt which asks you to grant secure settings root permissions. Try this and let me know

This is really driving me crazy. All the actions that require root are grayed out.
I cannot get the secure settings app to request root access.
No problem with adaway or titanium backup. It works fine.
Just Secure Settings will not send a request.

Well I can't help you much. I have no idea why this isn't working for you. Maybe uninstall/reinstall secure settings and try again?

I already did that several times. I even bought SuperSU.
I also contacted the dev, so let's see what the response will be.
I am gonna post the solution here, in case there is one

Hey there. I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news are, that I checked this profile with a similar samsung phone and hat the same error notification like you had in secure settings.
The good news are, that you don't even need secure settings' "System + Module". I rewrote the script and it should actually work on any Samsung phone. Are you still interested?

Stuck on "You're using full screen mode", swiping up does nothing

Just got an S8. When I go full screen, I get this overlay. I can't get rid of it. Nothing wrong with my touchscreen, swiping up works everywhere else, just not in full screen mode.

You're using full screen mode. The home, back and recents buttons are hidden to minimize visual distractions and to prevent you from leaving the app accidentally.
However you're holding your phone the buttons will always be located next to the charging port. When your phone is rotated counterclockwise, swipe left from the edge of the screen as shown by the arrow.

This is the note 8 section, you say you are using a S8, but, it seems that the full screen message you are getting is related to the app you are using, not the device itself

Sorry, just posted it there at S8.
Thanks for your help. The full screen issue actually occurs wherever and whenever I go full screen. It's quite frustrating because I basically can't watch anything without this annoying overlay. I only found one other person who apparently fixed it, and his solution didn't work for me. I wiped the cache, restarted multiple times, toggled off then on full screen apps. To no avail.

Ok, maybe some app you use that has the inmersive function is keeping it even when not in use? Again, the message you are getting does not look like a system one

That's the tool tip you get when you choose to autohide through navbar in Oreo. But swiping up on the arrow is supposed to take you to the next tip in the little mini tutorial. If that's not working, then something is booked. Maybe a factory reset.

I reset it from the settings and also the "wipe cache/data" option. Didn't fix it, unfortunately. I also went to settings and disabled all apps (including system's) that can appear on top of others, and can change settings. When I turned on "Show touches", I can see that the touch works in that region. And I also did that touch screen test and I could fill in green all the spots there too. It's so frustrating, I can't watch anything or play a game without this stupid overlay.
I've been just thinking of waiting for Pie to come, maybe this thing will go away. But I don't know how I can seek help for this.

Are you using a home screen launcher app other than Samsung's own?

Nope, just plain standard mode TouchWiz. What actually ended up happening is I called Samsung. Apparently they can remote control with a mouse, so they simply swiped from their side and, boom, the message went away. So it looks like there's something on my side preventing swipes from the charging port. It's strange because I still sometimes get responses when I touch on the bottom edge; I can actually press on the navigation bar buttons and they work fine, but swiping doesn't work from that area. So now, when I'm watching a video, I'm forced to swipe the status bar down to show the navigation bar, instead of from the charging port. Also, when I go to the Notes app and begin drawing, I can see the line tracing until it reaches the bottom edge, where it just stops even when there is more space. I know that there is a crack on the bottom left. Maybe I need to replace the screen or, possibly, the digitizer.

Maybe this is a first time you are using fullscreen mode with app have function hide navbar (not using full touch gestures in stock rom).
Solution
Just disable funtion hide navbar in your third app
When you are open app full screen like youfube, this warning will appear and you just press button Got It. It will show anymore.
Then, reactive hide navbar.

Hi, I have the same problem. Any solution ?

I had this problem and fixed it by opening a YouTube video full screen. The YouTube app does allow you get rid of the message while most other apps I've tried won't.

Finally solved it by swiping from the arrow side and hit the word OK

Hive got +1 nord 2003 phone. İve got cubasis with a missing right side buttons in that. So got to the menu found screen optiin for the front camera. İts got options because the camera has a place on the screen . So that menu follows about the screen should act how for the front camera if disturbs you. Then choose the app and select dont hide its solved
