Screen off via short timeout

Takes a couple of seconds to turn off, despite it being set to 0.0 seconds. When the turn-off eventually kicks in, the screen turns on again... Unusable.

It doesn't work on Sony Xperia XZ premium! It will not turn off the screen!

Just what I've been looking for. Thanks. Oneplus 3T seems to need 7 seconds in settings.

Amazing! Its exactly what I have been looking for!

Works as advertised.

Great

Had a little problem getting started, but a couple of emails to the developer with very quick responses got me straightened out. Tried many other screen off apps but they all lock the screen and require you to use password or fingerprint to unlock This one doesn't. Great app! What I've been looking for for over a year.

Very misleading description. Cannot set screen off time for 0 seconds or even 4 seconds without screen still being active. Timer seems faulty as well, as a screen off for 4 seconds still wakes to touch. Nova Launcher implementation is both better and free. BTW, paid version has a freaking ad at the bottom...high ratings on this must be paid for shills.

Good to use without interfering PIN and fingerprint unlock. One bug found on my HTC 10, Android v6.0.1, I need touch screen one time during transition to screen off, otherwise, home screen will finally appear w/o screen off.

Yes. Just what i needed. Other lock shortcuts needed a password to unlock my device, but not this one. Perfect. Cheers dev.

Great app! Also, the developer is very responsive and informative. Thanks

Doesn't work on the LG G6. Screen wakes up no matter which setting is chosen.

*update* after reply from dev . i try a bit of tinkering a found out the least time for the the could time out on my pixel is 6.5s . i will keep this app and see if future update could lessen the time required for the screen to turn off .

Works great with Samsung S7 & fingerprint unlock. If using fingerprint, & any locker, you will be required to unlock with a password or pattern in Android 6 &above. This app lets us turn off the screen without tripping the lock system. I use this app to save battery & the power button is set to lock the phone. I only wish this app had a floating widget that was relocatable & remembered landscape & portrait locations. I will suggest it to dev.

Very useful app, works excellent on my device (OP3T). I'm so happy that the developer is very friendly and open for suggestions. Very recommended app if you need to switch your screen off without locking it (for fingerprint embedded smartphones). Very light and doesn't require any access from your devices. Great!

Working great so far! I liked the idea of screen timeout and how you dealt with that security issue. Thanks.

Extremely useful app. The best thing is that it's lightweight.

Very useful app! Keep it up :)

Works perfectly on Pixel. Does not bug OK Google using Nougat 7.1.1 Would recommend

Finally. A way to get around annoying S7 security feature

It seems to work good but I use my lock button a lot to turn screen off my screen can you add a feature where the app will work with the lock button instead of using the widget or double tap or wait for it to lock it's self so that we don't have to worry bout the app not working like it should

Workaround for when you're using smart lock. 7.3 sec is the min timeout for Nexus 6 on 7.1.1

Perfect workaround for annoying security policy preventing fingerprint unlock

A great idea for phones with fingerprint security! Very thoughtful!

Thanks! One of the most useful and valuable apps in my S7!

Problem solved! If you are like me and have always used an app to turn off your phone instead of using the power button, then this app is for you. Never had a problem until I got a Note 5 and used the finger print reader to turn on my phone. Power off apps lock the phone requiring you to enter your pin. This app just turns the screen off so your finger print alone still turns on and unlocks your phone. Excellent! I'm happy again.

Love this app! It solves a major frustration for me: that when I finish using the phone and grasp it to put it in my pocket it always senses a screen touch and launches something random. With this I can turn the screen off first before pocketing it. A really nice enhancement would be an option to launch it with a shake:) Just to be clear for those that haven't tried it...although this app reduces the screen off timeout to turn it off, it doesn't seem to affect normal use. If you leave the screen unattended it will stay on for the usual (say) 15secs. (Samsung Galaxy Alpha) [Edit] Yes, it works great with ADL's Shake. This also allows you to instantly blank the screen while using an app.

I think ur app is the best. Lots of people got this problem. (Lockscreen by apps and can't use fingerprint to unlock the phone later). I think u should change ur manificient app's name in order to people can easily understand what's ur app can do. For example: "Screen off for fingerprint devices". And u should describe more about the problem in the descripton. Just my opinion to make your app more popular. By the way. U did a very goodjob! Thanks alot!

Bravo ! I would have done it myself if it did not exist. Sad google do not give a good visibility to your app ! You should get more downloads ! PS: Maybe less useful but I did instaeye and it is only app without root that block double tap in instagram. Same as you, very little downloads. I hope at least it will change by time for you !

-Unfortunately there is a short gap (as the name of the app suggests) from the moment that the app is opened, until the phone actually sleeps; If you tap on any of the soft buttons in that period then the phone wakes up. -Other sources of accidental wake are the Edge menu and Facebook chat heads. On Samsung devices with "Edge" displays, the side(edge) menu stays on even after the screen goes off. I was hoping for an app that I can simply tap on and toss the phone into my pocket without waking the phone. Still, this is the next best thing as other apps lock your phone and then you have to insert your pass/pin in order to unlock even if you have a trusted Android wear device connected.

Android has no way to just shut the screen off without locking. This program provides a workable solution. I've been hunting for this for years. Good job.

I just figured out how to use it

Only app I could find that turns off screen without requiring pin when turning back on. 7.3 sec timeout works perfectly on Google Pixel phone.

Yes, this is exactly what I was looking for. Screen off without device administrator permission. So you can unlock with your fingerprint... Thanks

Does exactly what I wanted. Other screen off apps lock the screen and on the S7 with Good Lock it won't let you use fingerprint upon turning it back on. This app gets around that.

Works as intended. Removes just one more niggle from a life full of niggles.

It doesn't work well for me in my Aquaris X5 Plus, I have to wait 20 secs to get it working so it's impractical for me as I can't put it in my pocket straight away.

I've been looking for an app like this for months now. Adding this as a double tap shortcut for Nova brings back double tap to lock. Thanks for taking the time to make this.

Works as stated. Worth it! Thxs

Screen off + Lock apps will prevent you from using your fingerprint to unlock the device. This one is using some kind of magic potion to get around this limitation. UPDATE: thank you for adding the week number!
