screen off widget

---

hey all

I am looking for a widget that can simply turn the screen off, I press and the screen goes off.

I have searched but cant find anything that works

Thanks

I have seen a couple of apps in my travels go have a look in the android development I'm sure an xda member cooked one up a few weeks back,and from what i remember android does not switch off straight away like WM does it has a delay built in

I was looking for one of these some months ago.

I was told that there wasnt one which stopped the screen straight away, however I found on. UNFORTUNATELY, I can't find it again. (I am on my third Streak)

It wasn't badged as a screen off, but it was a single widget which locked the device (aka turned off the screen, as if you had pressed the power button)

I would love to find it again!

I don't see the point myself, why don't you just hit the power button

Yyhat link doesnt work no item found, the power button is in a weird spot for my liking and since i use no lock and open with th volume button

Then why don't you do a google search for an android app called 'scren off'

Ah i have googled it MOD EDIT !! and cant find one, if you are so MOD EDIT !! brilliant you find one


Every link i find to screenoff app is dead

I thought these forums were to help people

Pick up your android phone and go to somewhere called the 'android marketplace' you may even have an app already installed for that so no need to search for that thank goodness.
In the search bar enter 'sreen off' it should be at the top of the list

i have a question, maybe this is android related, maybe streak, not sure.
I come from WM6.5 background, so forgive me if this is a 'duh' question:

when I am listening to music, or recording or, anything really, if the screen turns off, it shuts the whole phone down. including wifi (loses connection)
is there a way to have the screen dim/off to save battery, but still be active.
biggest is music/recording. when I am recording something (meeting, etc) I have to force the screen to stay on in order for it to continue recording. same thing goes for uploading to youtube - i have to keep the screen on for it to continue it's connection.
Am I missing something??
Thanks for the help
