About Shake Screen On Off PRO
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.
Please test if the app works on your device first by installing the FREE version, "Shake Screen On Off FREE".
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 PRO version of the app 'Shake to Screen On Off'. On the PRO version:
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.
IT WILL NOT DRAIN YOUR BATTERY. Have I said it already? My main focus when I implemented the app was on not draining the battery, and it won't.

-------------------------
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!
PERMISSIONS

I use it on an HTC One as a GPS on a boat. It is in a waterproof cover which doesn't let me access the power button, so the app is great. One improvement I would like is the ability to prevent the shake turning the phone off. Other reviewers also seem interested in similar flexibility.

My first paid app I have downloaded. Worth the price. I have just downloaded it few minutes ago so I have not noticed if it really does save much on battery consumption. I hope it does.

Use the free version, I made a mistake and bought the pro version. I have to keep restarting it because it stops working all the time. Contacted the developer he did not care to reply. Don't buy this piece of crap.

Its down side is its a power drainer and being a smart watch you don't have a lot of battery power to play with (ZGPAX S8 Smartwatch 4.4 Andriod)

Just what I was looking for. With a sensitivity setting of 3, I can walk around and not activate my watch through casual movements, but if I give it a little shake the watch face lights up with the time. Another little shake turns it off. Excellent app for the standalone Android smart watch devices like the ZGPAX S8. Thanks for creating this!

I don't mind the bar up in the left hand corner on my zte grand × max + as I do the appearance. Needs to be smaller'& color full. This one is just plain ugly. That said i would give 6 stars on everything else. Had the free version for a couple weeks and loved its ability to wake and sleep being battery friendly also. The $1.99 is well worth it because I noticed enhanced performance without interference from commercials that flash at you like a strobe light. Catch 22? you bet. Thank you!!

Works perfectly on Truesmart watches clones, but constant battery drain kills it. When app is on, my watch only can stay up for 9 hours even when in idle (not even checking clock on watch). Without it, it can stay 2 days straight.

This worked just as described! My gratitude to the maker(s) of this app. The power button on my Virgin Mobile Galaxy S2 works, but only after I repaired it myself. Now I'm worried it will mess up for good, so this app keeps me from having to constantly press the power button. This is my first review, by the way. I had to give my thanks to the maker! This was well worth the 1.99!

This app is helpful. The power button on my HTC One S began to wear out and wasn't working properly. I had quotes from cell phone repair companies for $75-$110 to fix the problem. $1.99 download fixed the problem. However... It definitely drains the battery. I have consistently had to charge my phone 4 to 5 hours earlier than before I installed the app. (Contrary to the app designer who has not relplied to my questions).
