■Adjust a sensor

Scanning interval of the sensor is changed to a few seconds for the bettery.

Comments on BetterSleep for Android

★★★★★ GREAT APP Would be even better if the app function is disabled in app launcher screen and if screen wake function after proximity sensor is uncovered is added
★★★★★ Awesome Let's me lower the "Sleep" time in settings, cause when in use it won't let the screen to turn off.
★★★★★ Worked Really Well until 4.2 Really great app, should be a standard feature in every Android phone. Just one bug appreared in 4.2 causes screen to go black but remain on if allowed to timeout. Fix for 5*
★★☆☆☆ sucks
★★☆☆☆ Suck my battery Drain my battery like HELL Samsung galaxy note firmware 4.0.3.Please fix this
★★☆☆☆ Warning Uninstall doesn't work! Think twice before installing this app.
★★☆☆☆ Good start Love that it seems to use less power than Screebl. Hate that it ignores phone orientation. It only looks for motion, so I can't set it down at an angle and have it stay on (like I can w Screebl). Add orientation to get 5 stars.
★★☆☆☆ Doesnt seem to work on Dell Streak 5 running Froyo. Uninstall now.
