Feedback:

One of the intelligently thought-out app functions. We can use with various sensors with what works best for our device. I enjoyed using it and really liked it. Was willing to buy the unlocker as well.

Issues:

The above feedback was on my other device (MicroMax A76). When I switched to Samsung Grand Quattro, it suddenly stopped working. The same settings and sensor did not work in Grand Quattro. This might have been an issue specific to this device, but the app may not be versatile enough to handle all devices.

Pls let me know if there is a fix for this issue. I was using the Shake + Proximity sensor to wake device.

Thanks bro.

Currently, Samsung Devices which have recently upgraded to Android 4.2.2 have this issue.
I'm working hard to fix this as soon as possible.

Below is new Thread for Automaton, post all your queries from now there:

firstly, great app! works absolutely brilliantly on my Xperia ZL.

secondly. i have a question.
i want set it so that when i close my cover, there is a timeout before an actual lock takes place. say for example, before 30 seconds after closing my cover, i reopen the cover and it will immediately go to my homescreen (or my last screen).

which setting should i be looking at?

For giving delay to lock your device go to app settings/Basic Panel then change the hold duration as per your requirement. Example if you want 30 second gap before locking the phone then just change the value & you'll get it.

Hello, Akshay
Some tablets does not have suitable sensors at all, e.g. Chuwi v89.
In that case, I suggest to use multitouch feature of the screen. Just to place several adhesive metal foils in definite parts of the screen. Then the SW have to catch this multitouch event to switch on/off.
Is it possible to realize?
Thanks in advance,
Vladimir

    -Edit : Fixed

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) :

    1. What does this App do ?
    Ans : Uses various sensors to determine whether the user wanna lock or unlock the screen. Hence,saves time, battery, etc

    2. How, do I uninstall this app ?
    Ans : Using the uninstall button from Main Screen OR Go to System Settings->Device Administrator->Disable it & then Uninstall the app

    3. Is this app completely free & where are the ads ?
    Ans : Nope, this app doesn't have ads & ever will & is free but after some period the app gets expire & you need to buy the unlocker

    4. Does Cover Algorithm keep running in background ?
    Ans : Yes. Because, It needs to run always to lock & unlock phone depending on calculation done by app

    5. Does activating the feature 'Start App on Startup' slows down device as told by Android ?
    Ans : Yes, for sure but if there are less number of apps for starting on startup then the delay is negligible. If you selected lots of apps or heavy apps then it will slow down the startup of device causing delay

    6. Doesn't using sensors continuously consume alot battery ?
    Ans : They consume very less power almost negligible. The sensors consume current in few mA

    7. Does Disabling the lock screen also remove my secured lock screen ?
    Ans : Yes, of course it surely disables lock screen even with password or pattern or any possible lock screen protection. Bug: Lock Screen gets activated when notification tray is used for opening app

    8. Does changing sensor affect the battery life ?
    Ans : Battery drain rate depends upon the sensor you have selected.Hence, choose such sensor that provides less errors & less power consumption

    9. Does changing sensor 'effect' affect the battery life ?"
    Ans : Yes, this is because for unlocking the phone. We need to wake the CPU which costs the battery. Hence, for prevention of battery I have added an CPU timeout which drains bit less battery, else you can change effect to ONLY LOCK which doesn't cost much battery

    Will try my best to do it.





    Thanks... Just wanted to point out your poll at the top is in the wrong format I believe... For me in USA it reads 100 $ USD... I can't image you intended to ask if your app is worth $100 USD, maybe you meant $1.00 USD?

    Even though I already bought the paid and cant remember how much I paid, I would suggest maybe $2.00

    Actually, the poll options are wrong :p
    Also, I can't change them. :banghead:

    The cost changes according to variation with my home currency.
    It is normally around $2.




    Used the free version for a matter of seconds before I realised this is exactly what I have been looking for.

    Really looking forward to seeing future gesture features. I am also looking for a way to use nfc while phone is locked, I'm I right in saying you are playing with that atm?

    Lot many new things are coming & few are around the corner. :thumbup:

    Where I can find v1.83.2? In google play v1.7.3 only... :(

    It is actually paid version.





    Hi,

    I come to support your app (paid for it for good use)
    I found a bug, how to enable Night time when I check it, it says Night time started then immediately it says stopped. I've set stop time at 2am and start time at 8am.

    Also, can I request no notification icon for Air gesture too? Because it is there for Main Automaton app but not for air gesture (and maybe you may consider to combine two icons into one icon, use different icon to specify either or both functions are enabled), it saves my notification space which is already 'crowded' :)

    Thanks a lot :D

    I will check the night mode bug.
    Thanks for suggestion. Will implement one notification for both the features.
