About SoftLocker FREE

When activated, SoftLocker maintains a screen-only lock by holding a partial wake lock on the system, thus DISABLING deep sleep.

** Note: **
As of v0.9.1 This version has the same functionality as the DONATE version of SoftLocker, but does not have a widget.

If you find this app useful, please consider purchasing the DONATE version of SoftLocker. Thank you for your consideration!

On to the details!
------------------
SoftLocker is useful for Android tablets only, it is pretty useless on phones! This app was originally tested on the Pandigital Novel, now on the NOOK Color, but *should* work on any tablet (like the Archos, Augen, Viewsonic, or other Android tablets).

When SoftLocker is enabled and the screen is locked, the device remains FULLY ALIVE except for the screen. Don't kill the service with an app killer! It consumes almost zero system resources.

Contact the dev with problems!

So far so good. No more annoying wake lag on a Note II. Still have to see how this affects battery life though. I'm assuming deep sleep is there for a reason...

Very aggressive in deep sleep mode, it will kill off my alarms and will even cut off any phone calls from coming through. Hoping this app will be my life saver! P.S..... "It drains so much battery, I don't get it, wahhhhh" IT'S KEEPING YOUR DEVICE FROM SLEEPING, YA IDIOTS. I keep mine on its charger overnight!

It drained all my Note 2 battery overnight... from 100% to 11% in just six hours and I was not even using my phone... it's just a pity for such a great app! Update: l'm using the app a while and things got better as about the battery. Not so much battery burning.

It worked for nearly a month or 2 then the device started sleeping again.Bad app I will uninstall if this is not fixed once it is it would be 5*****

I guess I've just forgot to post a review earlier, but I've used this app since October 2012 and it's been of great help to me. I've owned both a s3 and note 2 and this fixed the lock screen lag on both devices.

Opposed to the Wake my Android app which doesn't work for the XOOM, this app actually works! This is an awesome app and solves the problem of my Android going into deep sleep mode and not able to wake up. It resolves me of having to force restart it every time and therefore hurting the tablet. Thanks a lot! :-) Update 2: After checking the Battery usage of my tablet again, I see that when no other apps are running, this consumes not 15% but only 6-9% of my battery, compared to CPU Wake Lock which uses 15%. What I said before about the battery usage was wrong, it was a glitch in my system from switching the wake lock apps quickly. Because it consumes less battery, I am now back to using this again instead of CPU Wake Lock. This is still the best. :-)
