Just installed V1.1 free from the market and it's a bit too sensitive! I hold my phone in my right hand and when I curl my hand over to touch or make gestures on the screen, the display turns off. Is there any way to adjust the sensitivity? I'm running on a Galaxy Nexus running GummyNex 0.7.6 based on AOSP 4.0.3.

The Proximity Sensor works in binary mode, 1 or 0, on or off, without any intermediate values. Someone told me it the range can be changed if you modify build.prop file with root access. But this is not what I want. I would like everyone can use my app, with or without root.
So I'm trying to implement a combination with light sensor. The only problem is that the light sensor built in Android phone are not the best sensor on the market and every device has different sensos. In other words, in low light conditions this could not work as expected. I'm working on this at the moment :)

UI is useless for lite so remove it, and as long as it has a notification in status bar i will not use this app, can i get v1 back!
2/5 stars

also in v1.2 there is NO way to turn it off :/

1) How can I tell free users in a simple UI like mine, that exists a pro version of the app and put a link to it? I think that's the best way.
I'm sorry you gave 2/5 only because you can't switch it on/off through the notification bar.

2) You can turn it off by clicking on the icon...

possible to make it work on galaxy tab? it doesnt have a proximity sensor but i believe it has a light sensor and magnatron. maybe make it detect a strong magnetic source to turn it on or off?

I'm working on light sensor at the moment but without a proximity sensor it wouldn't be the best choise.

Can you not trigger it to go to deep sleep. Screen should lock, that would be more appropriate imo.

The idea is to make the app as fast as possible:
I don't need the phone anymore? I'll put it into the poket (without touching anything);
I need the phone again? I'll remove it from the poket. (without touching anything);

I think this concept will never change.

Thanks for this nice app, tested the lite version.
Few observations:

a) Observed very very low or no impact on battery. Great.
b) Not consistent! Though show in notification, and in on position, suddenly stops working! I mean screen will not go off or come on! Need to again start and stop for it to resume working!

It will be great if you can fix this on consistency please. This may be because of opening 2-3 heavy apps like market and browser the Smart screen is getting killed in background?

This is really strange, since I didn't encounter this issue on my Galaxy Nexus (the device i test it hardly on). Maybe there's an incompatibility with another app who have installed and works in background.

Yes I think is because the service has been killed because of low memory. I'll try to implement a service who can't be killed in future versions!

Same problem as other screen off application with G-Note with Cover. It gets wakeup after just screen off with galaxy note cover, i know this is not application error but limitation of sensor, if you add light sensor combination with proximity sensor, it should get work. It is absolutely fine when test with finger, but black colored G-note cover causing problem.
you can test with pure black paper, when it gets in complete touch with proximity sensor, screen will wakeup again.
One thing i like to add, compare to other same app i have tried, this is really fast n clean. I expect to get light sensor option for G-Note user in next release.

First off great app :) got the pro paid Ver just now.

I'd like to see a hide icon option in the settings as i don't like colour icons appearing on my nice black and white theme.

this would make it have a more integrated feel also :)

I Agree great concept I just dont like apps that are always in the notification bar. I can turn it off but that pesky little icon is still there.... ui is still useless for free... just remove it....

    [UPDATE]
    Hi guys, after my account was banned from Play Store, I decided to move all apps on Amazon App Shop for free. :good:
    Here you can download last version of Smart Screen OFF PRO.

    Smart Screen OFF PRO
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014TKA9VQ

    I'll add other apps I developed in the next few weeks.

    Download Smart screen off PRO User Guide

    DESCRIPTION
    Smart Screen Off it's a simple and light app which uses the Proximity Sensor built in your Android smartphone to turn the screen off and on automatically


    REASON

    I decided to code this app when I bought my Galaxy Nexus: this device doesn't have any physical button on the front screen. Being a quite huge phone, it's quite difficult to press the "turn off" button every time I wanted to turn it off and on. So I needed a way to turn the screen off every time I put it into the pockets and off when removed.



    HOW IT WORKS

    The app itself is a toggle button, to switch it on just press the App Icon. Then every time you put the phone into your pockets the screen turns off.

    If you put the smartphone upside down on the table, the screen turns automatically off.

    NOTE: It doesn't lock the screen (just like in a call)

    REQUIREMENTS

    In order to use Smart Screen Off, you need to have a phone with Proximity Sensor (nowadays every smartphone incorporates one).

    Could you be clearer? What message you get when you try to uninstall it?
    The app doesn't ask for any admin permissions, so it should be uninstalled like other apps.

    [1.5] Changelog
    Code: 
    [1.5] Added a new state (BLUE ICON):
      This means that the app is "acquiring" data if the "light sensor combo" feature is active;
      And means that the app is waiting for you to cover the proximity sensor if "timer delay" feature is active
      Now is easier to understand if Smart Screen Off is active or not.

    As far as I know this should happen only when you point a camera on your device (it can be seen only with a digital eye). Do you see it with your eyes?
    If yes:
    1) turn my app off;
    2) make a call and cover sensor until screen turns off.

    Does the light turns on?

    Something about this on Google
