Would also love to be able to power up from soft keys or even the volume keys would be better than the power button. This can be achieved as widget locker has this feature. Doesn't unlock fully though only takes you to the slide to unlock screen.

Thanks to the op, will give this a try. If you have ant time to explore the above it would be appreciated ;-)

Edit: just installed this and its a great app. Simple but very useful.

I have make small app, which switching off screen.
Instant, without any waits or faking switching off by set brightness to zero.
It's simulate pressing of power button.

Maybe this one will be interest for somebody :)

root needed

Is this application supposed to save battery life or something? I mean, doesn't the screen switch off when you press the lock button? :confused:

"Thank you exidler for this useful app. I am just wondering if you can make use of the accelerometer sensor to turn off the screen ( for example by putting the phone upside down) . Thanks again."


i also agree ! that would be a perfect app and since most people do not check their sms upside down it would also be extremely practical :)

what if you wanted to lay on your bed or couch and send a text message:eek: lmao!

the apk file is attached to the first post. download the one you wanted, drop it on to your sd card, browse to it in the phone and run it.
