I guess you would have to open the app and disable it every time you plan to move with your phone and not use it. I could see this greatly affecting your battery level if it keeps your screen on constantly.

Keep it up!

This really is the next best thing for me, since Autolock is a paid app, which is not accessible to me in my region yet.

Thanks for the review.

My backlight is set to 30 seconds, AutoLock set at 30 minutes, Advanced Task Manager with the one-click short cut on my home screen set to “close all non-excluded apps” then I press the End button to “sleep” the phone. Yes, those last 2 steps take 5 seconds and 2 presses but no biggie.

Again, I probably will give it a shot to see if there is something I’m missing.

I also had another tiny idea that might (or might not) interest you for the future. Are you familiar with the application “Keep Screen”? It keeps the screen on for certain applications that the user defines (I use it for Google Maps for instance). If you integrate such a feature you would easily appeal even more to users because now they’ll have a 2in1 solution. At least that is my opinion.

I know it is a long shot, but you could also integrate a timer for background apps. Some apps uselessly run in the background and drain the battery/processing power. Maybe you could let the user define which apps should be killed (and suppressed) after a certain period of time and only be allowed to run after the user has manually launch them. Upon launch the timer would reset and after the user is done using the app the process would start over.

I know this is not the place for such a feedback, but I would love to have a better running phone and I can’t make apps… but I have ideas, most of them useless, some not so much.

@David Keyes – the video kind of got me by surprise… In the woods. Really!? :) A bit disturbing if you ask me. Were you busy burying a body or smth..? :)

But jokes aside – great job! I hope the free version will stay free, yet functional. Have you considered adding features like making the phone behave in certain ways depending to whether it is plugged in or not? Say, you plug it in and let’s say Wi-Fi automatically turns on, or screen timeout period automatically goes to a longer period (or never, depending on the user’s preference)….?

That being said, I have not had the chance to evaluate Screebl on the Droid.

Of course, you get the added benefit of not having annoying screen timeouts keyboard or not.
