App to Turn Off Screen without Standby - Android Auto General

I have a problem with static noise and suspect it is the LCD.
To test this theory, i need an app that will turn off the screen but not put the unit in standby.
Seems all the apps i tested so far, put the unit to sleep i.e. music stops playing in background when screen is off.
I need to switch screen off and not just blacken to test theory.
Any ideas for an app, or script that can do this please?

proximity sensor problems

my screen seems to randomly turn itself on and off during calls and I sometimes press a few buttons and even close the call. and it's a bit embarrassing to admit that my phone has a problem. does anyone have a fix for it? I'm currently on jpk
end calls should not happen
the proximity sensor automatically turns off the screen to prevent accidental touch to the buttons
it takes about 1/2 second to react
if you talk normally it should never light up for you to accidentally touch the buttons
but if you keep checking why the screen is on/off on/off
that will drive the screen / sensor crazy
it was like that for me the first day
i was rather annoyed that the screen always turned off, i wanted to disable that feature, but now that i got used to it i find it rather useful to prevent accidental drop calls
personally i browse and write notes a lot during a phone call to look up info and take down customer orders
so having the screen on/off automatically was a pain in the royal highness, but i found a great solution
switch to BT headset whenever i need to check for info and browse on the phone, then it wont go on/off automtically as it's not near my face
thanks for the info!
This is a very common problem caused by positioning sensor overriding proximity sensor when the phone is placed horizontally or close to it. So if you tilt your head during a call the screen will turn on and you could disconnect/place on hold etc. I saw this feature/feature was fixed for other devices by adding an option to disable positioning sensor in calls (changing dialer.apk file), but could not find anything for i9000

[Q] Primary display off while TV-Out port in use?

I have the video out cable for my Dinc and It works very well, but I can't figure out a way to disable the main phone screen while I am using the TV out cable. I use it quite a bit on flights as I have some MyVu video glasses that let me watch movies on them. The issue is that the battery is being depleted very quickly due to havign the main screen on even though I am not watching it.
Is there an app or setting that will toggle the main screen on or off, or let the screen sleep without stopping the video playback like when you hit the top sleep button as long as the video out cable is plugged in?

[Q] Audible for Android.

when I use this app, and my screen goes to sleep, the app stops playing. This is different from several of the mp3 player apps I've used. when the screen sleeps they keep playing. I've call the audible support team and they weren't much help. I'm looking for someway to turn of the screen (it does make a nice night light )and keep audible paying in the background. I have tryed screen filter and it does help but it just dims the light.
any other suggestions?

Try Captivate Keep Alive. I think that is what fixed the problem when I had my Gtab.

Touchscreen issues

So the touchscreen on my phone was acting up and I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem. When I was at the gym listening to music, I guess my screen turned on in my pocket and my music paused coming in contact with me since the phone was facing my skin. The same thing happened if I left a youtube video on. With youtube videos it would pause, move the time bar or switch songs. When I try listening to voicemails the phone would randomly go to standby, possibly by the double tap triggering. All this happens without me touching the screen directly in anyway. Was this something with the software or something else?
Mine has done this when my leg was sweaty, it triggered the leg skin touches through the fabric.
My screen won't turn on even if i press the button on the back sometimes but if i hold it towards any source of light it will work fine.but if I'm in a dark place it will not turn on.any ideas what could cause this?

It may be that your screen is turning on, but the auto-brightness is adjusting the screen to full darkness mode because of detecting the dark place. You can try manually disabling auto bright?

Background Hardware Use (Mic/Cam)

Hi,
I seem to be having trouble with background hardware services (specifically the cameras and bluetooth mics):
1. Bluetooth headset calls through messenger apps like viber or whatsapp loses use of the microphone around 1 minute into a call (like being muted). I have to unlock the screen and switch back to the app to get microphone use back.
2. The background video recording app (SCOS) loses control of the cameras (both front and back) and cannot use it (maybe cannot instantiate?) around a minute after the screen is turned off. Switching cameras or restarting the app is the only fix.
I have already disabled the Battery Optimization for the concerned apps, plus as many services as I can find, but still the problem persists. The only solution is to keep the screen on, which nullifies the point of using a headset and a background video recorder.
This seems to be connected with Android P's new privacy settings
Anyone have an idea how to solve this?
