Solar Screen Off for Android
It didn't work at all on my Samsung Galaxy S5, I was really hoping for this to work out but unfortunately I just paid $2 for an app that doesn't work at all
This is the only thing that works.
Deactivated app. Still won't uninstall. DON'T BUY!
When I have the app activated and the phone is locked, it still wakes up and doesn't go back to sleep when I unplug or replug the charger.
Works right after I install it (turns off instantly when plugged in) then it goes to working after 4 seconds (fades then off) then doesn't work after that. Also when I restart my device it stops working. Also doesn't work when other apps are running. All I want is for the screen to turn off when plugged in and back on when unplugged! Why is this so hard?
This is not worth money. Snoozy interface is easier to understand too.
Works like charm!
I want the thing uninstalled but don't succeed. It's darkening my screen even deactivated. It's like having sunglasses all the time. How do I get out off this.

I have a Sony Z1. I charge with the magnetic two pronged power module on the side. This app does effectively turn the screen off after a fraction of a second following it being woken up by either disconnecting, or reconnecting it. That's great. But... It seems to override my setting of two minutes for turning off the screen when I do want to use my phone for reading web pages etc. It keeps changing the setting back to 15 seconds, which is annoying.
I was too quick to judge in my first review. The developer was away, but he eventually contacted me and worked with me for 2 days to solve the problem on my phone and he updated his app to a new version to address it. It is working now. Sometimes, probably due to quirks of MY phone, it won't turn the screen off rapidly, but it will within a few seconds. If you have the type of phone I do, where the screen wakes up every time charging starts or stops, then this app is for you. The app won't prevent the screen from coming on in the first place, but it will turn it back off within a very reasonable amount of time (
nexus 5... doesn't keep it off but does however immediately turn it off which is close to what im looking for... works either when plugging in or unplugging

Does not "keep screen off when charging starts or stops" as the description clearly says, refused a refund because "replying to my email exeeds the cost of the app."
Does the trick. Great for wireless chargers
I have a generator hub on my bicycle that doesn't give a constant charge, so my Galaxy Nexus keeps waking up. This app puts it back to sleep. Developer has been very responsive to feature request.

I have a bicycle charger that stops charging every time have to stop. When I start again the screen goes on. This app fixed this. And with the latest update I can run a navigation app too without have to disable the app. Great work.
When on the road I charge my phone with a solar panel. The display wakes up every time charging begins. In intermittent sun, the constantly waking display would often drain the battery faster than the solar panel charges. This app makes solar charging much more effective by suppressing the display wakeup that occurs when charging begins.
