I changed the registry.
When the backlight is off and the screen is lock, the backlight does not go on when I unlock the screen at this moment.
Have to press the power button to turn the screen off and on again for the backlight to work properly.
Is there a resolution on this?
Thank you.

It looks that there is a problem with Blackstone Roms, all of them have this problem. I always used autolock and my solution was to disable the Dim timer on the Power settings.
This way the phone will only locks when it powers off.
I'm not facing this issue with Duttys 6.5 Leo Test 2

I can confirm that! I don't have the issue with that ROM.
But:
When i press the CallEnd button for some seconds to lock the screen manually then there seems to be a kind of a delay until the lock screen appears.
is there a way to get the lock screen immediately or is it a general winmobile issue?
I don't know why, but nobody mentioned S2U2. Works perfectly on all Dutty ROM's and does all the things needed to solve this problem.
I set it to "Lock when device wakes up". Additionally I chose not to use S2A (Slide to Answer) in favor of the default answering slider which works like a charm for me. When somebody calls me S2U2 automatically unlocks and I have full access to the answering buttons.
Further I disabled the automatic power off by S2U2 and let WinMo do this in order to prevent conflicts between the different power managments.

I want the wm6.5 implemented lock screen but with fast reaction.

OK I got to ask. Why not just use the power button?
Cuz when the phone on his doc on the car it's hard to press on it.

it will depend on the car holder he's using
but most universal one are very easy and has direct access to the button
my holder is fine but when i try to press the power button he fall all the time. so i need to do it with 2 hands..
this is the reason i need this widget.
the screen will turn itself off after 30 sec by default
the next best thing on Freebie Apps is this
Screebl Lite
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.keyes.screebl.lite
your phone turns into a physical switch, just rotate it
to make it on/off screen

Can try lock enabler. It works but has an irritating habit to set your screen timeout to 3s at times
Great! this is good solution. not the best but it works...
Did it work for you if you change it from 3 to 1 sec?

No. Min for me was 3s. Didn't work with 1 or 2
i agree it would be great to have an "off" widget...
anybody ?

Android api doesnt allow this as per my knowledge. Closest u can come is a partial_wake_lock which is
Cpu : On
Screen : Off
Keyboard : Off
I discovered this as im trying to create an app tht would turn off the screen if something is blocking the proximity sensor for 5s. (im trying to mimick putting the phone in the pocket so it should turn off).
So for a workaround wht i did was that when activated it sets the timeout to 3s which is almost instant. Then when u unlock the screen, my app restores the timeout to the original one it stored earlier. Hope this helps.
Not sure if this is helpful.

yes it will be fine to hava that kind of app on my galaxy s or my home button will pain a lot
try screen off widget in the app store.
Try 'Lock Screen Widget' by droid-mania.com perhaps?
Unfortunately it requires FroYo to get around the permissions issue that's been mentioned, so I haven't actually tried it yet. Their other widgets are great though. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth have different colours for off/between on and off/on/connected, which is really handy (Wi-Fi also shows the name of the network you're connected to).

ive just tried it now and it looks f#$%ing great! thanks for the tip.
i am using froyo though, so cannot say how it behaves on eclair...
Try switch off, paid app from market..its an..invisible widget on your home screen...also another tip for everyone who has adw launcher on...install any application that turns off the phone...goto adw settings and in system preferences enter to swype up and choose applications...from there you can choose the application you installed to turn screen off...result ? in every home screen of adw when you swype up your finger on the screen the phone is closing..
After the success of Smart Screen OFF, I decided to publish another app called Smart Screen ON available in LITE and PRO version too.
Smart screen ON
DESCRIPTION:
Smart screen ON is an innovative app which turns your proximity sensor into a power button. If you have a big phone with no physical button on the front(Galaxy Nexus for example, you can turn on or turn off the phone just tapping or waving your hand (finger) on proximity sensor.
FEATURES:
When you change the settings, remember saving and restarting service using built in app specific button.
There are two mode available, both mode can coexist:
+WAVE MODE:
Wave (move) your hand/finger on proximity sensor, even without touching it.
You can set the amount of waves you want to use to turn on/off screen and the time between each wave.
Do you want to wave your hand quickly or slowly?
+TAP AND SWIPE MODE:
1) Tap proximity sensor using your finger;
2) Wait for the first vibration;
3) Swipe (remove) quickly your finger, before it vibrates for the second time.
You can set the time before the first and the second vibration.
+DISABLE SENSOR
You can also disable sensor after an amount of time you can set in the app panel.
The app will disable the whole service and proximity sensor after X time of inactivity.
+STATISTICS
Statistics include:
A)Smart Screen ONs;
B)Smart Screen OFFs;
C)Total power button saves;
D)The power used by your proximity sensor (which is very very low).
+START ON BOOT
If you check this, the app will start on boot.
+HIDE ICON
If you hide the icon, the app could be instable and could be killed by Android in low memory conditions.
+ENABLE FOR TURNING SCREEN OFF
The app has been created to turn screen off, but I also give you the ability to turn screen off.
+DISABLE WHEN LANDSCAPE
The sensor will stop working when landscape.
+INCOMPATIBILITY
-HTC Desire HD is not compatible with "wave mode" because its proximity sensor doesn't work as it should.
If you want to suggest new features, please contact me on this thread, at [email protected] or use my site www.androidhd.it
Link to lite version is online
Will test this out!
EDIT: I believe there's a bug with Android 4.0.4 for apps that turn off the screen?
It turns back on after turning off for a while, happens in other apps that lock the screen too.
Great app!
I would like to use your app in combination with an app like tasker, llama or locale. Could you make a shortcut to enable or disable your app? Or a locale plugin? This way I could enable/disable your app when certain conditions are met. For example when I am at home it is active and when I am at work it is disabled. I have tried to kill your app automatically with llama, but your app restarts by itself.
Love this idea. Perfect for when I'm in class and want to glance at my phone. Bought the pro version, however it worked about 3 times then stopped. I see it was just updated so I have faith this will be looked at and become more stable. Thanks.

I have updated both LITE and PRO versions. Fixed a couple of little bug (check the changelog). The update will be live within 1 hour or 2.
Friends, if you have any problem please contact me at [email protected] . If you only reply on the Store I can't help you.
If you know how to do it, record a logcat when you have a problem and send the .txt file to my email address.
App is working flawlessly on my Galaxy Nexus AOKP M5.
Note: between 1 on and 1 off you have to wait 2 seconds.

Cool app!
I confirm the bug tho, after screen off Widgetlocker turns the screen back on for a sec(Gnexus AOKP build 35).
Just updated. Tried it about 15 times. Only worked once. I have it on the tap/swipe option. AOKP B35. CDMA GNex.
BTW, I'm not complaining, just providing info. I like the app. I'll be very happy with it once I get it working.

Just use any logcat app (I use rootzbox, catlog is free) start recording. Try to do whatever function you're trying to accomplish, stop recording, it will save a txt file on your SD, navigate to file with file explorer of your choice, share file

Kk, thanx, just sent it.
I just discovered a bug (I'm not sure it's related to my app or to the ROM).
You have to completely disable the lockscreen to get it working.
I'm currently investigating this issue.

Its the same for me running stock 4.0.4 if that helps.
There is a bug that affects Android 4.0.4.
I'm trying to find a workaround for 4.0.4 users.
Version 1.2 uploaded, check it out on the store.
It should work with 4.0.4 users without disabling the screen lock.
To workaround this, I had to kill timeout display timer (you have to turn off phone manually).
Works great now. Thanks.
Edit: I didn't quite understand at first. Its a bummer that the screen stays on indefinitely now, unless manually turned off.

This is the only workaround I found.
For some strange reason what worked for <=4.0.3 doesn't work on 4.0.4 .
Can you guys tell me how to configure how long to delay before enabling screen turns on? It's always like 3-4 seconds when i turn on my phone on the home button, can i fix this or is this normal for the Gio?

Hi guys, does anyone know how to turn off knock on on the G3? Tried looking for it in gestures settings like in the G2 but can't seem to find it. The g3 keeps waking while in my pocket making it feels constantly warm. Anyone else experiencing this? I don't mind just using the button at the back to wake it. The placement for the button is quite comfortable actually.
I'm sorry to hear this is a problem on the g3, I have this problem on the double tap to wake code on my Nexus 5 and so I just turned it off. I know for the galaxy 2, sorry g2, voice dictation, they released firmware fix for this I think

Can you tell me how you did the wake code on the nexus 5?
And to the op, isn't there a setting in the screen gestures section of the phone to turn it off?
You can turn it off in the hidden system settings menu
Dial 3845#*855# to access it.

It is the very last setting in the list, just scroll all the way down to the bottom.
If you have the Korean model replace the 855 with 400
I turned this feature off as it will save battery life too as it needs to keep the screen driver awake happy using the back button.

we don't have that functionality by default, it's patched into custom kernels and eats 2-3% battery per hour (another reason I turn it off)
Just so you know, I had issues with Knock On unlocking my phone in my pocket so I turned it upside down and the issue is 100% gone !
I think it's due to the light sensor not being 100% in the dark then the taps on the lap unlocked the phone. When it's upside down the light sensor is kept in the dark
I just can't find that setting... Ive looked everywhere. My phone is rooted with towelroot. Is that the problem?

Is it really the light sensor? I think the proximity sensor would make more sense in this case! Otherwise you wouldn't be able to use the knock on feature in the darkness...
Screen wakes in my pocket whichever way up I put it in and I don't want to have the screen face outwards. This is very annoying and didn't happen on my G2 - The screen is clearly very sensitive. I don't want to turn off knock on and I don't really like knock code.

Same here. Upside up or Upside down makes no difference for me. Display from body away seems to be the only real solution...
Looks like a few of u are experiencing the same problem. I have been facing the screen away from me as a solution but it feels so awkward when I m so used to have the screen face in. And I can't find the hidden settings to turn knock on off. They really hid very well I guess.
