About Power Switch Pro

Power Switch is a tool for devices with cases - somewhat like the SmartCover, it will turn off the screen when you shut the case.


If you have a device with poor battery life, Power Switch can save tons of juice by switching it off entirely after a given amount of time asleep.

FEATURES:

- Sleep seconds after shutting case
- Automatic shutdown (root only)
- Set up a schedule using Night Mode
- Configure sensor sensitivity
- Facedown to turn screen off
- Uses almost no power in single sensor mode

The app has gone through an extensive testing process at XDA Developers. Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen, you're the best.

ADMIN PERMISSIONS are required to manipulate the screen state without root.


Keywords: root, rooted, tool, system, power, save, power saver, screen off, no lock, automatic shutdown, quick shutdown.

Anybody with a phone and using a flip cover needs to get this. Works perfectly as describes.

It turned off but not on. Waste of money, I want a refund. I prefer the app smart cover. It cost less and works perfectly with my galaxy s3 flip cover.

It would be nice to have an option to turn off the warning screen completely. Also maybe have the screen turn back on. All in all, an awesome application. I highly recommend it to anyone.

Purchased the app, not knowing there is free version that allows trial before purchasing. It works as advertized, turns OFF and LOCKs my screen after the preset period using any of the available sensors on the P6200. However, it could be a better of there is an option to automatically turn on the screen when I open the cover or flip the tablet face up so that I don't have to mess around with power button. Sensors for these option are there it just have to be utilized to make this a better product. Also since screen lock and screen off is also available on most tablet by default (screen timeout function) three stars for now until an option for screen ON function is added. Also emailed the developer, but response yet :(

Open the cover and the tablet is on, close it and it goes off.

Will like development to continue. Although it was mentioned in the XDA N7000 thread that it is not possible to have the sensor wake the phone screen when cover is open, I hope it can be implemented eventually.

Just bought the application. Dude very usefull app and it works well. Now when i close my case in 10 sec the screen goes off and after 30 min it shut down the tab. The battery life now way better and last for 3 days. Before i had my tab on without using it for couple of hours.

Works fantastically on this device! I turn off via accelerometer for face down off when I close the tablet on its lib! The case I use lays the tablet face down when it is closed this app was made for such a case! great work

Galaxy tab 7.7 has a proximity sensor, so the app works absolutely flawlessly - a software smart over for android.

Even though I'm not entirely happy I had to buy the app again after it was renamed from KillSwitch, the app itself is brilliant.

I have seen comments that it can unlock screen when cover is opened. How to do that? Otherwise, it is very good, I like it!

It was consuming about 10% of my Galaxy S3 battery. There is also a bug with popup screen off confirmation. Sometimes when you press power button manually to screen off that popup keept opened for hours (countdown paused).
