About Shake Screen On Off FREE
Turn your screen on and off by simply shaking your phone.
Avoid breaking your power button. Just shake your phone and lock or unlock it.
IT WILL NOT DRAIN YOUR BATTERY. On device's up to Android KitKat 4.4, the battery consumption should be minimal. On device's running Android 5+, due to an Android bug, there will be more battery being used, but it still should not be a huge amount. I did all I could to make the app work on Android 5+, and so I rather make it work, even if more battery is necessary to keep it working.
My main focus when I implemented the app was on not draining the battery, and it won't. Let it run for a day and then check the app's battery consumption. It should be minimal (as opposed to other "Shake to turn the screen on and off" and "Shake to Lock and Unlock" apps on Google Play.
This is the FREE version of the app "Shake Screen On Off". On the PRO version, you can do everything you can do on the FREE version, plus:
1 - no ads are displayed.
2 - the user can choose to start the app automatically after the device is turned on.
3 - the app can be set to unlock the screen automatically when the screen is turned back on.
4 - the app can use the proximity sensor to avoid accidentally turning on the screen when the device is on a pocket, for instance.
5 - The device can be set to vibrate every time the screen is turned on or off.
-------------------------
UNINSTALLATION
-------------------------
Due to the fact that the app needs admin privileges to run, if you want to uninstall it you must do it by clicking on the uninstall button inside the app. If you try to uninstall the app using the standard Android App Manager, the uninstall button will be disabled. Just remember that to uninstall the app, you must access the app itself.
---------------------
COMPATIBILITY
---------------------
Unfortunately, on some devices the app will not be able to turn the screen back on (when the user shakes the phone) after the screen is turned off. It's a hardware limitation of these devices, and there is nothing that can be done on the software side to avoid it. For instance, I've tested the app on the 'LG Nexus 4' and it works flawlessly; on the other hand, on the 'Samsung Galaxy Ace' the accelerometer sensors are turned off the moment the screen goes off. If that is the case on your device, please send me an email (there is a button on the app to do it) explaining what is happening on your specific case. The app will add the model and manufacturer of your device to the body of your email (please do not erase this information) and I will remove your device from the list of available devices on Google Play. Thank you very much for your help!

Seems to work, but cant set screen on or off separately. I only need shake screen on. If you set it sensitive enough to work, it turns off a second after it turns on while you're shaking it. Notification is obtrusive, and adds are super obtrusive. Commercials popped up twice while just setting it up!

Most of the apps of this kind turn the screen off but they can't turn it on comfortably however this app is an exception. besides, its super less size makes it even a more fascinating package..

Power button crapped out on me, tried every app here. All of them turn off the phone, but none turn them on. This does. It doesn't use that much battery, I use a battery saver app as well, good job

Only crazy shaking will turn it on, and it's very inconsistent. You can change the settings to be more sensitive but then it turns on from every little move I make. App is useless.

It works fine and that's great, but I wish I could disable the permanent notification its bugging the crap out of me, and the layout of the app itself is mediocre to poor. And I look like an idiot jerking off my phone every time I get a text, but at least I can turn my phone on/off again.

It does what it's supposed to do. My power button randomly works. Like if I take my battery out then put it back in, it will allow me to turn my phone on. But after that, if the phone screen goes off, it won't work.

This is sooooo sick. The power button on my amazon fire tablet stopped working so I had to plug it in to turn it on but since I got this app all I have to do is give it a shake.
