Is there an app which can restart the phone but without rooting the phone..
Why do you need that ? Just press and hold the power button for a few second, the Phone options will pop-up, just choose restart to restart the device.

look at the first app in the list dude. You just might have to actually READ the Apps description. other than that you have to root.

Why do you even need to reboot your phone that much?

You could Quick Boot if you wish. Can also reboot straight to recovery and bootloader. Unfortunately I can't link to it as I've only recently joined XDA.

Quick Boot works on rooted phone only. He is asking for reboot app with no root access required.

I dun reboot that much..Just once a day..but I dun want my power button to get depressed because I have to rely on unlocking on the same button..which gets pressed quite a lot of times...
Also if you could suggest me some widgets or apps that can help me to lock my phone..I used extended controls which was not a great experience because when I unlocked the screen remained black till I switched on to some other application ..

I don't think it will harm the proximity sensor, it just that I don't like to see a red light on the proximity sensor light up when using this app as I guess it use more battery...and that's maybe the reason why they have a time-out to kill the app after certain time. Once the app is killed, you still need to press power on. Anyhow, this is my personal opinion only, nothing against the app; I maybe wrong.

Thanks tell me since when are you using this phone??do you find your power button by any chance pressed inside even a little??Also I dun think that it uses much battery as the Statistics posted by the App developer state..it would be great if someone would throw some light on it though..

Since Apr 3rd, two days after the HOX officially launched in my country. Do not really notice that, maybe because I seldom use the power button as my device is rooted, using quick boot for reboot, reboot to bootloader & recovery, swipe to power on and so on.
Why are you even rebooting once a day? It isn't necessary and will solve all of your problems.

This free app lets you turn the screen off by waving at the proximity sensor near your earpiece! No Widgets to press! Just the swipe of your hand!

A lil thanks if you like it will be appreciated ;D
The idea is nice but beeing left handed it triggers accidentally too much for me. Works pretty sweet though. Wish the prox sensor was on the right
Be cautious... Just tried playing with this on CM7 #B30, and almost couldn't get it off my phone. Also, didn't appear to work properly (I'm guessing its a Gingerbread issue). Not sure if these results are typical, but I had to reboot 3 times, uninstall through both the market, and app manager, and without being able to do nandroid yet, I was a little nervous.
Idea sounds great though. It'd be a fun trick to show friends, that's why I gave it a shot.
I am LOVING this!
This is the type of app that makes me go week at the knees! <3

You don't follow directions. And it worked fine on my gingerbread build. To delete it fully, you first need to to in to settings, locations&security, then select device admin. Untidiness the checkmark, and select deactivate. Then delete.
Personally this was a bit too sensitive for me, but very cool concept.

You're right, I didn't follow those directions because I never saw them. Regardless, it still didn't work for me, and I wanted to let others know of a possible implication. I even mentioned that I was unsure if the result would be typical.

If you'd read the information on the app market, before just downloading, you'd have seen.
Pretty cool but sometimes I use my left hand and lock it by mistake. And it doesn't disable when I'm in landscape mode for some reason. I had the check box for that feature checked. Is it supposed to be unchecked?

But yeah, I don't know how it'll affect my battery life, and half the time I couldn't get the screen to turn off I wish the sensitivity was adjustable. Uninstalled for now.

The Proximity sensor is on the very left side of the metal grill for the earspeaker thing in the front...

It's a good idea but its a bit too sensitive... maybe after a few adjustments, I'd use it. Nice find though!
This one is pretty chill, but I prefer tap tap app, you can turn your screen on and off with the sensor.

Folks,
Please, is it possible to use the physical button as shutter (while on camera) and answer/hangup call?
I need to use some bandages on my hands and every capacitive screen fails me... the S-PEN is definitively something that I'm eager to try (every other generic stylus fails on some level).
Thanks!!

Not in stock rom that ive seen, maybe a friendly dev could create a custom mod for you. You could use a camera app that responds to voice commands, that would solve part of your problem

This works well, and is fortunately included as an option on Samsung's default camera app (on the GT-N7100 at least). So fun to snap a picture by saying "cheese".

Rofl.. yeah it works... I think the phone thinks you said "shoot". Also it works if you say "sheet".
If you go to Settings>Accessibility you can chose to answer phone calls using home button and hang up using the power button. im using this setting as Im keeping my phone in a pouch and this way I don't have to take it out every time I get a phone call

my bad, I meant to reply to tyshemi, not you. I did install that app. It does not work with the power button, and the animation is not as nice..=
The CRT off animation doesn't play well with JB from what I've seen a couple devs say, which is why it isn't even on the custom ROMs, so chances of getting it on a regular phone are slim and none I'd say.

I never said it worked with the power button. It's an icon you can tap; might actually be nicer. But I'm sorry to hear that you don't like it as much!

Thanks for the info. I kind of like the tv static plus crt close.
I have the off button on my screen now. For when I actually remember to use it, vs muscle memory of hitting the physical button.

No problem! Just a word of caution - When I use this in combination with WidgetLocker the unlock doesn't work. I had to turn the screen off with the power button then it worked again. Most likely caused by the way that WidgetLocker is an app and not a system function.
Hi there,
So I was looking for an app and done some searches but cant seem to see one out there. I`d thought I would post here as if there isnt one it could be a pet project for someone
Basically the app I am looking does this:
When on my local wifi network the screen lock is a simple pull down. However, when I venture outside it becomes a pattern/pin based lock screen.
So I wondered if there is an app out there that meets these prerequisites?
Thanks for reading!

I hope someone can help me out with this (I guess most of my posts arent worth bothering with as they usually go untouched by anyone). I'm trying to figure out a way to disable the touch button backlight on a Google Edition ROM. I have been searching for an answer since the Google Edition hit. All I can ever find is how to disable on GSIII ROMs (non ge). If anyone can please help me out I would very much appreciate it. Thanks!

Screen Filter is an app that can disable the backlight of the softkeys. Set it to auto-start at boot and you should be good. I know its not a direct fix but its a low impact app that shouldnt effect battery life or operation.

Seems to work for me. Did it dim the screen at all (thats its main function)? Did you see the check box "enable softkey back light" (uncheck it) at the bottom of the app ui?

Yes, it did dim the screen, but if i uncheck the enable softkey back light, anytime I touch the screen the backlights still come on. Are you on a G.E. rom? I am currently on Infamouse G.E.

There are options to do this in AOKP and CM roms. Anybody know how those builds pull it off?
