Are you tired of using the power key of your android smart phone to turn the screen on or off? as we are getting addicted to instants messaging apps like whatsapp, our smartphones have become a chatoom to stay in touch with your friends. Push notifications can be annoying and using power button every time to turn the screen on ruins the fun.Gravity Screen Off is the new android app for an intelligent screen control and it has cool features to turn the screen on or off without using power button.

Gravity Screen Off - a clever screen managing app


This is a great alternative to the smart stay feature present in Galaxy devices. Let's see how exactly this app is going to help you. A very basic and most important feature of this app is table sensor. The table Sensor of an application detects if your smart phone is lying on the table with facedown. As soon as you keep your device on table, the application detects the angle and turns the screen off. Just grab your phone and it will again start the screen and there is no need to find any button.

pocket sensors is another great feature. If you always forget to lock your phone before keeping it in your pocket, this app will save your life. It recognizes that your device is in your pocket and if your phone below the angle you set in the options, it'll  turn the screen off. That's clever..isn't it?

We have tested Gravity Screen Off on the demo android devices and it really does not affect much in terms of battery. Actually this application helps you in saving battery by managing display screen. Turn on the screen depending on gravity and to turn the screen off, keep the phone on any plane surface.There is an integration of how the screen turns on depending on adjustable degree and orientation which brings this app to absolute perfection.
