Dear all Defy users,
I am the developer of "Screen Off and Lock" and would like to seek for your reports regarding using the app on your phone. Since I received some reports about the screen will go off and on again after 1 to 2 seconds, could someone give me the following details:
1. The ROM you are using
2. Method of using the app (i.e shortcut from launcher / shortcut from notification bar / long press the search button etc)
3. Delay device locking option is enabled or disabled
4. Kind of screen off animation
5. Problem description (such as screen off and on after several seconds, no animation and screen just goes off immediately etc)
I don't have a Defy for testing so every report from you guys will be appreciated and sorry for my limited English.

1. Official 2.2 Froyo CEE Rooted
2. Shortcut from notification bar + long press/search button
3. 1 sec
4. No animation
5. The screen doesn't goes off but it locks itself. After the sistem delay of inutilisation, the screen goes off.
CM7 RCO 2.3.4
Shortcut from launcher
Disabled Delay ( CM7 has the TV intro/Outro i used out of the box)
The screen goes off. It works. Great App.
I posted in the Market comment section of your app that on 2.2/2.1 versions it does not work properly.( i used official and Custom ROM. I used to have Pays 2.2 Froyo. before CM7). The screen goes off and than on locked. Didn't bother me that much as it is very stable-always worked. I initially thought i have to pay for screen off from first press.
Nevertheless great app. Hope you solve the problems ^. And thank you for talking to us here on XDA.
The problem

Hello!
I have a Defy, and I think there's a problem with the Froyo, not the app.. I will leave you to decide.
1. 2.2.2 - froyo official release
2. tried it in all the ways, the same result.
3. Delay device locking option enabled.
4. Old TV Style (did'nt try the rest - this is the reason why I installed it in the first place )
5. Animation, then screen off, and then on again, with the lock screen (this is the problem).
Now, the error is the same with similar apps like yours (I tried 2 more widgets: Lock Screen Widget and Screen Lock Widget). They all have the same result: screen off, than back on with a swype screen locker (yours is a little bit cooler, it also has the nice animation).
Anyway, this is the behaviour on all of them, regardless the screen lock way (none, pattern, pin or password).
Teoretically, all the apps should do the same thing as the power button does, and they do it half way (the display goes off, but then back on with the swype screen unlocker)
In the none selection, the power button is the only one that acts correctly, it just powers off the screen. In the case of the apps, I have the swype unlock.
In the other selections (pattern, pin or password), also after the power button (after I press it again to unlock), the swype thing appears, and then the correct unlocker.
So, I'm not an expert, but I think there could be some kind of 2 levels locker in the froyo, which have a bug. Cause the swype unlocker teoretically should not be present nowhere in these scenarios (there is no option to activate/deactivate it, but it is present - this swype unlock was not present in android 2.1 -eclair).
Good luck with the app! (I will definately use it after I solve somehow this problem with the screen locker).
Best Ragards,
Alex
I have the exact same experience with my Defy. It has Froyo Nordic including motoblur
I tried all apps for this, and they all have the same behavior.
Only one works: "Screen off FX". But I suspect that it works in a different manner because it does not need to be device administrator. Maybe it will use more battery that way. Anyway I do not like it because it takes 20 secs before the screen is finally off.
Do you think it could be a problem with motoblur? Do you other guys have motoblur on your Defy?

-official froyo update (by motorola)

Hi there I have a xiaomi mi mix with Zooper pro installed, I have created several buttons and find that they don't open the apps that I have linked them to all the time. Sometimes they work 60% of the time. After a reboot they don't work. After pressing several things all of a sudden okay. Any suggestions?
I also have the same issue. I'm currently using a widget (Parrot / ZW23) and setting the buttons do not work. The only thing that works is the app drawer but that was already pre-set.
When I updated my Pixel 2 XL to the official Android Pie update I noticed that when I choose the "dark" device theme and then I choose a live wallpaper, when i reboot my phone the initial lock screen pops up with a blank screen (only the live wallpaper shows, with no time, no nav bar fingerprint icon, no status bar info). If i have a pending notification before i reboot the phone then it will boot up and the notification will negate the blank lock screen glitch. If i then choose a "light" theme and choose any live wallpaper then it boots up with the normal lock screen. Also, when I choose any other non-live wallpaper with the "dark" theme enabled then it will boot up with the normal lock screen as well. With the blank lock screen touch is disabled on the blank screen, however, if I access the notification shade then it will negate the glitch and pop up all the normal lock screen info. Also, with the blank lock screen, the power button and volume rocker pops up all the appropriate info and they are touch accessible. Ive tried factory resetting the phone, flashing the old Android Oreo image and updated to Pie via OTA and the issue still persists. Does anyone else have this issue? Does anyone know what app governs the device theme? Any suggestions on how to fix this? thanks
I had the same problem this morning. I changed to one of the stock live wallpapers last night and when I powered on my phone it would boot and where I was expecting to enter my PIN the screen was just black and could not get any response. I could hold the power button and the power options would pop up. I left it alone for my 30 minute drive to work and I was finally able to unlock the phone. I switched back to my stock solid color (black) wallpaper and the problems seem to have stopped.
Same here with the live Earth wallpaper. If I touch the fingerprint sensor it shows the unlock pattern UI which let's me unlock it successfully.
My Sprint LG G8 just got updated to 10 and I noticed a few things missing :
1) New second screen does not work, nothing happens when clicking on New second screen. Phone is at standard setting, no custom setting like Pie ?
Have to disable night mode to enter second screen
2) Show lock/hide icon is missing or removed in Home Touch button. So, there is no way for app to go full screen ?

Mine works. I use it in conjunction with Notch Remover.
2) Show lock/hide icon is missing or removed in Home Touch button. So, there is no way for app to go full screen ?
I can confirm this and it sucks! Also my recent apps button doesn't work. Can someone post a copy of the LG Launcher?
3) There is no volume slider in pull down notification panel
I have a Moto G 5G Plus. Does anyone know how to use the split screen functionality to view 2 apps side-by-side? I’m running the Nova Launcher and can’t work out how to do it.
You can use Motorola gestic to do so.
Activate it under Motorola Actions - gestures
Put on finger on the leftern-middle side of the screen and Swipe from left to the right and back to the left.
I'm using Smart Launcher and I've got problems using split screen as well.
Thanks for your reply. I've enabled that option but can't get it to work. For example, if I swipe from the left in Google Maps I see a "<" appear on the left centre of the screen. It disappears again as I swipe back from the right but the screen does not split. I've tried it in the Gmail and PocketCasts apps and I get the same thing.
Swipe up and hold until vibrate toget to the screen where you can switch apps.
Press and hold the app icon at the top of the card.
There you should find the option.
