NOTE:
1) To Uninstall this app: Launch ProximityScreenOff, click Settings, and un-check "Enable Device Admin" and then try to uninstall.
2) I may not work on all devices as its dependent on the proximity sensor hardware. I have tested it on HD2 & Desire HD.
Want to feel what gestures can do? here's an application which will let you turn of your screen just with a swipe!! yes that's right!! All you have to do is swipe your hand over the proximity sensor (Located near the earpiece on top of the phone).
Motivation to build this app:
1) While the phone is in pocket, and you have your bluetooth headset connected, even though you can answer your call with a click of bluetooth headset button, because the screen goes on and remains on, your call may hang-up or go on hold or probably few buttons may get pressed, isn't that annoying?
2) Lot of android phones don’t turn off the screen when phone is held close ear (You may end up hanging up on someone)
3) Accidental call pickups: Since capacitive screens are sensitive to touch as well as heat, An Incoming call gets picked up automatically when phone is in the pocket (And we get obliged to speak to annoying calls)
4) Its Cool!!!
5) If you are a HD2 user, you would know the pain. Many users have replaced that hardware buttons due to usage!!!
Using this app:
1) First enable device admin in settings.
2) Either choose "Disable Accidental Lock" or "Cover and hold to turn off Screen"
3) If you don't worry to much about battery or your hardware buttons are totally in a mess you can enable "Cover and hold to turn on Screen"
If you are a HD2 user, you would know the pain. Many users have replaced that hardware buttons due to usage!!!
NOTE: To un-install, go Settings, Locations & Security, Select Device Administrators and disable the ScreenOff App
