Thanks for your informative reply!
I'm not so sure about game downloading though, for a couple of times my downloads stop or cancel when my screen is off.
Went to google up about turning the digitizer off, and found these perfect apps to go along with this awesome app

It'd be great if this app could infuse these functions too which would make it much more useful.
However, I'm not sure if they actually turn the digitizer off (hardware sided) or blocks input (soft-sided) :/ Do you know?
Next version, this feature will be added and selectable in settings list.
Just tested the latest version on my Xperia Sola. Works perfectly.
However, settings panel is giving FC. 'Print debug info' crashes too.
Once again, does this app prevent auto screen off?
EDIT: It does not! Screen still turns off automatically as per usual.
I'm using none of those battery savers, unfortunately. Thanks for the tip though!
Wake-lock and Wifi-lock will be added and selectable in settings list
yes ok, i will try that now. reporting in later.
Edit: ok deleted cache etc. re-installed a few times now. Using v1.6. Im sure the other people are not looking closely or correctly. If you use the app, it seems the screen goes off. But you have to try it in a complete dark Environment, then you can see that there is still some "backlight" on. The screen is actually little grey-ish instead of black, like it would when its completely off. For example when you hit the standby button it is black, no light at all.
Here is a good Video to show what i mean, it is from Erica on XDA TV: http://youtu.be/uypD7QUgcyM?t=11m10s
There you can see what i mean. The screen is still on otherwise it would be complete black, like it is when you actually really turn off your screen via standby button. So, battery will still be consumed.
Use the fb-method (Persistent blank frame) in settings. If, your device show the grey-ish field, it was because of the LAST-FRAME it was drawn on the screen and shall be fixed in next version. Of course this method still drains more battery than completely phone sleep (CPU and other schedulers are put to idle state, etc) but since this app prevents backlight being off together with disables completely the frame buffer (now phone doesn't have to draw the buffer), it is a battery saver .
Here is the log file, this time shaking did not wake the screen up at all.
And thanks for responding to all the issues, this app is gonna be awesome.
Edit: I found a bug on my tablet (acer a500), whenever I press the power button to disable the app and open the lockscreen, first press give a greyish tint screen and second press brings a large grey box just before the lockscreen.
Can anyone confirm this.
Thank you, I figured out the cause to the shaking problem.
About the ACER A500 problem, I have no idea but will investigate into this. It seems to be a minor bug.
-----------------------------
To everyone, you know it is really hard to implement a method that work universally flawlessly, so please be patient and I shall perfect this little app . Thank everyone for the feedback.
