Seriously, I am as confused as you guys. I am sure that I haven't fixed anything. It is just that jgaf's use does not involve graphic rendering with vsync so it doesn't freeze.

The Galaxy s3 US variant is really unique. For the input devices, this device has 13 (it even seperates the volume up and volume down buttons into two seperate devices)! Compare to a HTC One X with 6 or Motorola Xoom with 7. This device also has 3 framebuffers! While some devices only have 2 (one for screen and one for external display) or just one for older devices.

on Samsung Galaxy Note 2 the BT autodetection works and I see black box in the bottom of the screen with "One Two dim mode"....But One Two dim mode actually doesn`t work, the screen doesn`t dim
It works and the screen dims only if I manually press on its button in the main menu.

I am glad you are on it, and look forward to some progress for the S3. Thank you for the hard work.

I noticed that! I am just a script kiddy, so I poke around with what I find on Google. The third frame buffer seems to have virtual size of 1920x1080. My guess is, It might be for Allshare cast wireless dongle.

Hey, so has anyone tested screen Standby with the all share cast on US SGS3 ? It may not work with mhl but perhap it will work with all share?

Could you add an option to run another app on disconnect instead of just closing the "on connection app". Tasker allows you to make apps from tasks and I think it would be beneficial to run something different on disconnect.

I tried it with Allshare with the same results as plugging it in to mhl. It would work once or twice but eventually freeze up the phone. Another symptom I noticed is that I could not play videos with the screen off. The video would just hang while loading but as soon as I turned on the screen the video would play then I could turn off the screen and the video would continue to play.

It is possible to do that, and if I would, the launch app on disconnect must be implemented on all auto detector. I currently implement all of them seperately. I know it is a bad design but initially, I didn't think that one day my app would ever be extended to this much (only HDMI detection without poolling the kernel was a big achievement back then, and Dock detection with Motorola dock sensing thank to jjwatmyself's big help. Then epolaris suggested the auto-run feature).

Thus, let me restructure the app design first; then it would have the potential to chain tasks and events together like Tasker does in an easy and more maintainable way. Thanks for your suggestion though.

Just to let you guys know that I have just received my Google Nexus 4. So much better support for this device is coming. I would have bought an US SGS3 if it is available here as it is the device needs much care atm.

Another news is that probably I would be able to showcase the remote control feature this weekend.

Until then, Happy Valentine to all of you guys!

Hi,

I have a voice assistant in my car, but I am currently stuck for a way to activate it regardless of what the front app is. I pass the display to the in car display and use Screen Standby to hide the phone screen. This works fine.

What I would like, is if when it is in the mode, any click of the screen at all would activate my voice assistant (or any chosen application).

Is this possible?

Thanks

Unnecessarily complex and buggy :(

OK, so I REALLY wanted to get this thing going and working as it is supposed to, as an app to simply turn the screen and digitizer off.

After trying this thing for weeks, I still can't get it to work reliably. In other words, sometimes it works, sometimes it literally drains the battery in a matter of an hour, noticeably overheating the phone in the process (Unrooted Galaxy Note 2, Jelly Bean 4.1.1.)

Furthermore, and a bit of advice for people who would turn the screen off and CAN'T REMOVE THEIR BATTERY... How are you supposed to be able to press the ON button if the screen is OFF and the digitizer DEACTIVATED???

Maybe someone can shed a light on this, but I cannot understand why a simple screen on / screen off switch can not be implemented, as in "press the power button to turn screen on or off"???

Maybe we should be looking into how android manages to play music with the screen off and use that same function as the basis for this utility!

Don't hesitate to fire away... I'm looking for answers here!
