Hi guys, im the developer of Kilsswitch, an app that turn off the screen of your device when the case is closed.
You can find the apps thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988126
Ive been meaning to get some feedback from people using the more obscure devices, so if anyone has the app or participated in the beta a few weeks back, id like to hear about the results!
This is fantastic. I didnt even know I was looking for this. It works exactly as its supposed to. Im using Vegan 5.1.1 and a SwissGear slip case from Walmart.
And as a bonus the Adam's light sensor is perfectly placed to be used a power "button" of sorts. GReat work!
Great! What sensors are you using?
Also, i will release a new version by weeks end which integrates a new function - you will be able to run Killswitch using a day/ night schedule. I know this doesnt sound important, but it is.
ATM Killswitch is a hack - i built it for myself knowing full well that low quality sensors on many devices will have problems registering events in high-sensitivity environments (at night, for example, when ambient light levels can be low in peoples homes) .
My galaxy tab is an engineering sample with an excellent light sensor which works perfectly even when light levels are low, but many consumer products have really weak sensors that cant differentiate between low light levels.
For this reason i always recommend an activation delay of 6+ seconds to ensure redundancy.
With the schedule feature, Killswitch will allow people with weak sensors to disable some functionality at times when they know their sensors are not up to psr.
Any way to provide apk? Market is always flaky on mine.
I'm using the ambient light sensor at 1% sensitivity. I don't think the Adam has a proximity sensor. I don't have a use for the accelerometer sensor as I don't place my device facedown but can confirm that it works, and well I might add.
Full disclosure, I pirated your app to test, but will be buying it tomorrow on payday, for my device and the 3 others that I manage in my family. Thanks for the hard work, this is extremely useful.
Edit: Bought 2 copies so far. 1 for myself and 1 for the wife.
Ah, so a pay for app, I checked and also no demo. I'll try it once there is one, thanks for the effort.
15 minutes is more than enough to try it out - just put your finger over the light sensor!
Ive been considering a demo, but it would have to be seriously restricted or time-limited... hardly a demo.
Hi there, I thought Nokia (HGD) is fast in terms of...acting...but I gathered some things that stayed unanswered until today :
1.)
I already found out that the "Glance" Screen (clock and infos) will stay "always on" while the phone is charging.
And it is called a feature ? Really !? Why on earth... @[email protected]
No update on the official "Glance" thread by Nokia :
https://community.phones.nokia.com/support/discussions/topics/7000011762
I also think this is really annoying, having to turn it off while having to charge the phone overnight.
And as it is a LCD screen, what about so called burn-in effects or ghosting ?
2.)
On lowest brightness, on a black screen, I can actually see where I touched the touchscreen, as it leaves somekind of "wobbly effect(?) for less then a second.
Is that normal ?
3.)
Why is it hard coded, that the Glance screen does not react to whatsapp notifications, but only mails or sms ?
Also no answers by Nokia :
https://community.phones.nokia.com/support/discussions/topics/7000011914
4.)
The camera is "okay", and I knew it before the purchase. But seeing how others already managed to start another camera apk, with better results, makes me wonder, why Nokia did not add some more quality here.
5.)
Notification LED. Its not there, but like on many others phones, people managed to use the capacitive buttons, making em blink on notifications.
Any news on this ?
6.)
hmd-promotions.de is offline since days, but I was able to order my free Zeiss VR one before it went offline. Now, I contacted HMD global, as Id like to know when and how my ZEISS VR One will be delivered.
Anyone got the same experience here ?
Again my hope is on XDA, instead of the mobile phone manufacturer...finalizing this phone, once the bootloader gets (un)officially unlocked.
Please, try harder Nokia, you could have at least added snake.
1. Because it is an IPS LCD screen there is no screen burn. Screen burn is problem with amoled screens
2. No idea
3. Idk why but telegram reacts with glance
4. They were working on it.
5. Need BLN supported kernel have to wait for bootloader unlock or HMD will implement it in the official kernel.
6. Idk the issue
I just want to add that i have problem with Glance. When it is on screen stutters like hell. There is a clock speed problem i think and it happened after oreo.

1) If you put the device with the screen facing down, Glance turns off, as well as the screen, regardless of the device is charging or not.
2) I do not have anything like that, do you exert too much pressure? maybe it's just an optical effect due to the slight fogging caused by the exudation of your fingers.
The other questions have already answered you
Hello guys , i noticed the the infrared led from the proximity sensor is always on, even with the screen turned on. Isn't it supposed to turn on only when you make a call ? or when you use face unlok ( but it's non my case, since i don'e use any lockscreen )
I have an another samsung device, an galaxy s9, and the led turns imediatly off when you pass the lock screen or you end a call.
This is my second Note 9 device, both had the same "problem".
I uploaded o video on yuotube, i cant post the link since is my first post. But you'll find it on youtube " Samsung Note 9 IR led allways on "
Thx
Mines off after face unlock is used...
Took picture with another phone to see if it was on, it wasn't...
Might be something wrong with your Note 9 or an app you are using might be causing this, especially if it's a problem that has migrated across 2 Note 9's...
This is my second Note 9, both with the same issue, and the odd thing is that this morning i chatted with samsung chat assistance, and they claimed that even their test model had the infrared led allways on , and that it's normal to be like than ! In my modest opinion, i think that it'a bug (related maybe to the exynos models ).
I do not know whether to keep the phone or to get a refound.
The infrared LED is on when auto-brightness is enabled to detect light, turning auto-brightness off will turn off the LED

I assume OP is not refering to the infrared flood light used during iris scanning
It's the smaller LED near the proximity sensor, visible with a camera or something that detects infrared-light
Gsam used to always show high proximity sensor usage on both my note 9 and note 8 . I turned off smart alert and usage dropped by 90%.

I'll try to switch off smart alerts to see if the situation improoves. Since now i tested 3 samsung models: s8+ , s9 and mine note 9, all with th same settings , and only mine keeps le infrared led on .
With my first note 9 i tried a factory reset, reflash fw with odin , but with no luck, so i asked the seller to change it with a new one. And even this one has the same " issue" ( if we can call it like that )
I like the phone but knowing that i have a infrared led allways on in my eyes , it's bother me.
By the way i have the exynos version.
Hi, I am a long time Samsung Galaxy user, my last phone was the Galaxy S8+ i have just come to upgrade and thought I’d try the Huawei P30 Pro and seems it uses android as well, i thought it can't be much different. i have 14 days return and I’m really not sure if i am going to keep it or ask can i swap for an S10+
I don't know if i am just being biased because I’ve had Samsung for so long but i just hope someone here can persuade me keeping the P30 won't be too bad and that some of my issues are fixable.
I don't seem to be getting some notifications, mainly games, i seem to get texts but not always others, although if i turn my s8+ on, they still seem to be coming through on there. I have checked most settings i can find but can't see anything obvious, i have added the games to the app assistant.
I didn't know that this Huawei phone didn't have a notification LED, i guess it’s only a small thing but it's amazing how much you miss that flashing light, are there any ways to get any other screen notifications in some way?
The phone doesn't retain the Auto brightness setting when i restart the phone, I’m a bit confused by this as it would seem that Huawei may have this as a feature rather than a bug, I’ve read online that this is how these phones are set but surely you would want the setting to be retained how you leave it? is this a bug or here to stay? i keep turning auto off but every time i restart its back on!
The vibrate is extremely shallow to the point i hardly even feel it.
The optical zoom doesn't function if in 40mp resolution? what’s that all about, i tried it earlier and it says on it that it only works in 10mp resolution? the res you are in shouldn't stop the optics from moving should it? Also when set to 10mp and you can zoom, the zooming isn’t smooth in any way at all, it looks extremely jerky.
even though i have auto brightness off and also smart resolution set to off (which switches between low and high depending on what’s on the screen) - even though these are off i keep seeing my screen kind of flickering when i switch between something like a website to a picture etc, like the phone is still using the smart resolution. if i go to a website the white parts might be bright white for a split second then kind of flicker to a duller white.
I have only had the phone for 2 days but that’s is what is kind of bugging me a bit already if anyone can advise at all on any of them issues?
Thanks
James
About the "zoom", it's not an actual zoom and you are misunderstanding how it works. Having a look at the backside of the phone would explain some to you but i'll give it a go..
You got three lenses which equals three fixed focal lengths. This means you are simply jumping from one camera to the other when you perform a "zoom", which explains the jerkiness. It's expected behavior and is supposed to work like that since there is no gradual zoom with moving lense elements.
Each of these cameras have their own sensor which works at specific megapixels, there is no 40mpix sensor in all these three camera modules on the back of the device. The 5x tele lens has a 8mpix sensor. The ultrawide angle 16mm sensor is 20mpix and the main sensor is 40mpix which normally operates at 10mpix due to pixel binning.
The auto brightness is a long standing bug on Huawei devices, it's annoying and stupid i agree but it's there.

Samsung has gone a step further on improving there software. Its really fluid and very user friendly. Huawei should focus on that aspect on there flagship.

One little thing I miss from my Galaxy S8+ was the coloured app notification icons on the Always On Display.
Was good for seeing where my notifications were from at-a-glance (blue for Messenger, red for YouTube, green for WhatsApp etc.).
Not having any of those problems with mine. In fact I'm ditching my Galaxy S10+ and keeping the P30 Pro. The fingerprint scanner on the Huawei is faster and more reliable than the one on the Samsung, the camera setup is far more versatile, battery life is better and I immediately stick Nova launcher on anyway so I don't have to put up with EMUI or One UI.

Nova is just the launcher. The system UI controls far more aspects than just the launcher. EMUI/One UI is everywhere.

1. It's not Samsung
2. I had the S10... this camera is superior in every way except maybe video... (I don't shoot video in 4K for my purposes so it doesn't bother me)
3. Above camera superiority overall, the 5x & 10x zooms brings a whole new world of shooting pictures. I can truly leave a big camera / big lens at home now.
4. More true-tone pictures... people hate to admit this... but the real world is not over-saturated... Apple, Samsung, etc. stop promoting this as the normal for picture taking....
5. Features yet to be turned on but soon in updates... dual video record (maybe), TOF Sensor utilization (next update), etc.
Honestly though, I'm not a complete Samsung hater. I just hate the way Samsung does business... how can they release their "flagship" S10+ then months later add features to the 5G phone they definitely should have been included with the original... like the additional lenses... Am I considering the Samsung S10 5G. Sure I am... Will I maybe wait for the Mate 30 Pro... more than likely. Huawei, for all the talk about what they steal, they also keep trying to innovate... unlike Apple and to some extent Samsung.
At the end of the day, reserve your judgement until you get to use the camera on the phone when you need a zoom... like at a zoo, concert, etc. where you can't be right against the action... take a few pictures then compare to maybe your friends pictures... you'll then realize what the hype is over... :good:

I appreciate your point but unless you're an obsessive settings tweaker (which I'm not - once my phone is set to my liking I leave it alone) EMUI/One UI fades in to the background.

That's the thing; it doesn't just disappear.
I use Nova Launcher too but here are some EMUI annoyances (for me):
Not being able to open the tray from the lock screen
No quick launch shortcut to launch the camera from anywhere (such as double-pressing the power button)
The Phone app taking over any active app (annoying when navigating with Google Maps)

Fair points. You can launch the camera by double pressing volume down though. Haven't come across the phone/Map problem yet.

I know. But if you've already got the phone unlocked I've never found shortcuts to the camera to be of much use. As they say, YMMV.

The google maps issue is just a settings tweak with app draw over preferences.
the choices made by Huawei are logical ones... for Instance:
1. Tray not being able to open from lockscreen - this is annoying but the logical Hauwei take on this is that it doesn't allow someone to mess with the phone settings until security is verified... I'll give you the iPhone as an example. I can get into the app drawer from the lockscreen without anything being verified security wise meaning I can harmlessly turn on someone's flashlight if I wanted to as a prank (to let the battery drain faster) all the way up to maliciously turning off all connectivity of the phone... meaning calls, emails, etc. can't get to the phone... can you see the issues this may cause? personally the annoyance is small to my piece of mind that no one can screw with anything on my phone.
2. My theme has quick launch on lockscreen for camera... or press volume down twice so its in there you just can't readily tweak it
I have read online about the setting for app power consumption and to switch manage automatically off so that the phone wont keep alls from receiving notifications and let them run in the background. will have to try it and see.

Funny enough, I also upgraded from an S8+. There are definitely minor bugs, but nothing deal-breaking for me. As for notifications lagging behind, it's a known Huawei bug. You need to turn off auto-app management for the apps you want to get notifications pushed.

I had every Galaxy S and Note phones that were ever released, every one. Last year, I was interested in the P20 P30, ditched my S9 for my first Huawei phone ever, and I loved every bit of it. Then I skipped on pre-ordering the Note 9, something I have never done before, I waited because I wanted to get the Mate 20 Pro, but that was a bad experience for me and my wife, as we had 6 units replaced in total due to glue gate. After returning it, I went back to Samsung, got the Note 9, and I was then reminded how bad Samsung's cameras have gone when compared to the latest from Huawei, Google, and Apple. Still, I believed that Samsung will definitely deliver with the S10, and the moment it was announced, I pulled the plug and ordered two S10 Plus for myself and my wife. Just 3 weeks were enough for me to get sick of it's subpar low light photography, especially indoors and mainly if you're taking pictures of kids, as Samsung cameras struggle with moving objects. My wife doesn't care that much about cameras, but I do, so I ditched it for the P30 Pro and I couldn't be any happier with it in my pocket.
The camera is much better than the one on the S10, especially if we are talking about the exynos version, which was the case for me. Videos might not be up to Samsung and Apple's standards, but at 1080 it is close, and even better in low light situations and indoors as well. Battery life is much better, the UI while isn't the prettiest, it feels a bit more zippy than the S10, which isn't a slouch either.
Now fixes for your problems.
For notifications, go to battery settings, and select the apps you don't want the phone to put in sleep, you won't be missing your notifications after that.
Notifications led is also missing on the S10, so on both phones you'll have to rely on AOD, which for some reason, doesn't affect your battery life on the P30 Pro as much as it did for me on the S10.
Fps while it was improved after the latest update, and I can confirm that it got significantly better, it's still no match in terms of accuracy and speed to the one on the P30 Pro.
Accidental touches are a nightmare on the S10 Plus, the curve is smaller, but it sits much closer to your palm. An issue that I don't face on the P30 Pro.
From my 6 months experience with the P20 Pro, the camera on the P30 Pro will improve by at least 20%, with every update, Huawei makes sure they keep on improving their image processing. While on Samsung, and I am sure you know that, Samsung only irons out the camera issues that comes with the software that the phone was released with, so after a month or so, forget about Samsung working on improving your pictures.
Pardon me for the long ass essay, but from my experience with Samsung phones, and the S10 in particular, I would advise you to hold on to your phone. Their is a learning curve for their UI, but once you get it, you'll love your phone.
Thanks for the replies, what themes are people using? I have tried the app management setting and it did seem to have fixed my notification issue.

I also use Nova Launcher - Since Galaxy S6 - and haven't looked back!
I'm very surprised (and very pleased) to hear that the finger print scanner on the P30 works faster AND more reliable than the one on S10+ - can you please elaborate more?
I noticed that mine works very well, actually extremely well. Always wondered what the ultrasonic reader must be like if the claim of being more accurate is true!!???
So suddenly the display of my note 9 suddenly became wierd, where black suddenly displayed yellowish tint, blacks were dark Greys. Already perform factory rest, color adjustments and so fourth. I'm wondering if the following behavior is normal

My Tab S6 does that sometimes, only in setting menus but it's fine when am on YouTube and Browsing the net and use other apps. My Note 9 does not show grey colors when in settings or other menus! Try turning brightness to around 20 to 25% then try ?

Sounds like you might have a faulty display! Ring Samsung and get it replaced! i can see in your 1st pic Brightness is maxed out OLED panels can easily burn in! maybe it's burnt in, that's why your seeing yellowish and brown as the panel is shagged!

Big thanks man, I have being freaking out lately over it
My screen sometimes stays like this.....
Is this software related?
I even try a full format, but sometimes it stays like this, the green cames.

That's the beginning of the headache if your situation follows mine. I also noticed a weird green hue about a week ago on dark grey background, but thought nothing of it, until the whole display became awashed and green and glitchy in normal brightness like the article above suggests (it still looks sort of acceptable in 10-20% and highest level brightness though). If the March update is to be blamed, I cannot wait for April update because right now there's just no service centre opening.

We all are facing the sams issue. Like the article says its mostly because of software update however after getting this problem some were downgraded to android 9 but no luck. Seems Samsung is willingly glitching their customers after warranty period is completed. We created Telegram group also search in Samsung members you could join there.

Are you sure, that even a downgrade (via Odin) is not fixing the issue ?
Than : Samsung Damaged the Screen with the update !
Iam not hit by the problem.
But maybe soon ? (Exynos here)
