About Lock Screen App

'Lock Screen App' can lock your device easily.

## ↓↓Scroll down↓↓ to read Notes on Uninstall. ##

Do you feel inconvenient to lock your device using the power button?

Are your afraid of wearing out the power button? (My n1 was repaired coz of that :< )

'Lock Screen App' is a tiny app that can help you lock easily (without power button).

Features :
•Lock device with one touch
(Same effect as pressing the power button)
•Not a widget so it does not run as service in the background
•Auto-kill itself after locking to save your Battery & Memory
•Tiny in size (<100k)

Features (Donation Version Only):
•Little bit faster
•Lock by long-pressing search button **not work on xpad/apad and device without search key**
•Get updates earlier

★★ Please buy the donation version to support the dev! ★★
(You could find it using 'View more applications'/ the link in the app's settings page)

Thank you! :D

@@Compatibility Issues@@
------------------------------------

1.New / Updated Moto devices may not be supported

Moto disallows lock screen in their OS updates, so it would not work on moto devices after updates and new device like Droid 3. I have reported it to moto, but they did not agree to fix!

2. For device running Android 4.X, sometimes flashing (screen on then off again) may happen, try to enable 'Force Lock' in Lock Screen Settings to fix it.

3.It has been tested to work on Galaxy Nexus and Android Simulators (2.2,2.3, 4.0.2, 4.0.4, 4.1, 4.2 & 4.3)
However, the dev cannot guarantee that it could run / uninstall on all devices [coz I don't have all the devices].

If you encounter problem with you device, feel free to drop me an email!


### How to uninstall? ###
------------------------------------
Locking Screen in Android requires the user of device administration function, you must deactivate device administration *BEFORE* uninstall to avoid error!

To do this:
•Go to "Lock Screen Settings" (in launcher) -> "Remove Device Administrator"
~See screenshots~
Alternatively, you may do it via
•Go to Settings -> Location & security (or Security) -> Select device administrators -> Uncheck this app.

After that, uninstall it in Play Store, in case of error during uninstall in Play Store, do it at Settings->Apps->Lock Screen-->Uninstall


[To use other hardware keys to unlock your device, try 'Widget Locker' / 'No Lock' app (not developed by me)]

The force lock option saved my phone. I was not able to use my phone because it would not lock causing the phone to constantly stay on. Tried everything to fix the phone including a hard reset and even brought it to a phone repair shop with no luck. Your app was the only thing that worked. Thank you so much!

It does what it says, just locking the screen when the app launched, but I don't know how and why, my phone become sluggish after locking the screen using this app, and only recoverable by reboot.

Seems to be clashing with some other software and my tablet's battery gets drained through a wakelock. With all these android issues, do I need to turn to apple??

And I even have linked to it thru another app, so can tap a graphic on my screen and it works everytime. (I use Minmalistic Text and No Friils Calendar for that.) This is a great app. Give it a try! I have it on both of my devices. I will support by purchasing upgrade version soon. Thank you, dev! LG Optimus Elite & F3, Rooted Kindle Fire 1st Gen, Galaxy 3 phone & GalaxyTab 3.

With my other Android that has physical buttons and I fear that I will break them, I use this lock button app a lot and no problems whatsoever. Unfortunately on my other Android my lg it locks the screen but leaves the back light on.

I have been using this for over an year. This is the only one that I found usable with Xiaomi phones. It worked wonders with my old Redmi 1s. And it continues to work well with my new Redmi Note 3 too. Bless you.

No more self screen-on after the latest update. Reliable. Right timing to give this review after your software update for android 4.X version.

Every Time I Go On The App It Turns Black It Won't Let Me Go On It And I Hate This Why Can't I Just Unistall It With Out Any Problems

C70%
by C####:

I've had this app for ages (since before Kit Kat and now on Marshmallow) and love it--it does exactly what it says it will do. Simple and awesome! Don't need it anymore as I can double-tap the screen to lock the phone, but thank you for many years of awesomeness!

X70%
by X####:

Lightweight and does what it says. Needed for every Android device. Save a few clicks on that power button. Unfortunately, the android m policies ignore fingerprint unlock if such apps are used to lock the screen. no fault of the app, but I can't use it anymore.

This app won't evnlwn let me go on it whenever I do it is just black and I can't uninstall it either I've tried everything

Amazing because if u break your power button u can use this app instead yaaaaaahhh

N70%
by N####:

People dont give bad rating, because you have no idea how to uninstall the app. Read description 1st it is well explained, even because of you dev put this ugly second icon to help you uninstall and still say that you cant. I dont want to offend you, but be more careful and read something, anything... Uncheck app from device administrators and then use uninstall button!!!

I've been using the app for 2 years but After update to 5.0.the app cannot be used with face smart unlock feature. Don't know why but it doesn't work.

X70%
by X####:

Hopefuly every apps in google playstore should be made this way the app that had optionally to auto-kill itself after screen-Off to save battery and memory from unnecessary excessive Ram and battery overconsumption. I like the complete manual guide in app description page.unfortunately the setting options is too little ,cannot customize the icon size,shape and transparency scale.4++★!
