[ceenote]

thax for a great app...

It doesn't work on 6.5.3 COM5 HCT HD2

I start tomtom, than press home button and start screen off. when I press any button, and activate tomtom via task manager, all satelites are lost and application is not working.

I've disabled all locking sw on my device, so it must be caused by screen off. Because when I minimalize tomtom and activate it back via task manager, it is working with satelines on.

Where is the problem?

@armenh72: It does not replace the power button because the button puts the device to sleep. You can assign the shortcut for this application to a button only to turn off the screen.

I have developed also an application that puts the device to sleep but it not posted on xda. If somebody is interested, I will post it.

please post it..

This is about another thing.

What I am saying is, that this application causes tomtom is loosing satelites and does not work if "screen off" application activated.

So it is useless.

Is there any chance that you could make this a toggle type application? I want to use this as my power button function but can not as one has to use the power button to turn the screen back on. If the application could sense the screen is off and turn it back on the next time it is launched then my issue would be resolved.

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks a lot!! exactly what i needed. I was suggesting to include a toggle like this in energy ROM and was kindly directed to your app! Thanks again. No more useless lit-up screens during activesync and GPS searchups among much else!

Is there any way to use this app in an automated way? I mean to switch automatically screen off after a defined period (1 minute)

I can sonfirm that the 3 apps mention here (GoToSleep, ScreenOff & TurnOffTheLight) are working in Samsung Omnia i900 running custom WM 6.5.3 ROM. GoToSleep and ScreenOFF turns off the device almost instantly (doesn't matter if you install them to Device memory or My Storage).
GoToSleep - Turns off the device very quick, almost instantly, but no other button can get back the device On except the Power Button on the top. So that means pressing the power button again. What I notice is when you wake up the device, the waiting cursor keeps running for 1-2 seconds.
ScreenOFF - as GoToSleep, turns the screen off instantly but again you have to press the Power Button to get the screen back on. If you press any other button on the Omnia i900 it will just do its thing but you cannot see what becouse the screen is off.
TurnOffTheLight - is the same as ScreenOff, exactly the same behavior, but only thing is that when you press the icon to turn the screen off, it need 1-1.5 seconds to turn the screen off. Again, you have to press the Power Button to turn the screen back on.
All three apps doesn't lock the device like its set from the same device in the setting when turning the screen off to actually lock the device and when you press any button on the phone the lock screen to come. That would be very good adding to all 3 apps, especialy my favorite GoToSleep.
On the other hand, all 3 apps are just great. Thanks for the developer and I know this OS i already dead and I also know that the developer already forgot about this apps, but I just needed to give my observation about these apps. God bless you!
