[Q] HDMI out with Nexus Screen off?

Hallo Together,
I like the HDMI output to my TV from my Nexus 10. However, I would like to switch off the Nexus 10 screen while looking at the TV. Is this possible? Perhaps with an app?
When I currently switch off the screen with the power button, the TV screen gets black, too.
Best regards
Dirk

Screen Standby(root required) on the play store may work.

I can confirm screen standby works great... It has tons of options like auto screen off/on when hdmi is detected

Thank you! I will try it in the evening. Yesterday I had no time. The first look in the play store is promising!

I had the same issue in my nexus. I removed the battery once and turned it back ON. Restarted my device then and it worked fine and no more issue with the app.

im using the app now too and its perfect, even switches itself on when i play a video on hulu with the hdmi connected!!!

Camera app turns on by itself

For some reason my camera app turns on by itself sometimes, especially when my phone screen is off and i receive a text and my screen turns on. It is not S voice because it doesn't go through the S voice app.
Sometimes when I leave the screen on sitting on a desk, it turns itself up as well. Does anyone know what bug this is? I'm not rooted and using the original ROM. Im using the rogers variant note 3

Do you use S-view cover?
Is it possible that while hitting the power button to switch off the screen, you accidentally touch a camera shortcut and when the screen turns on, it opens to camera?

No I don't use the S cover or any cover for that matter. This happens right before my eyes. I don't touch anything and if I receive a text while my phone is on the table, the camera app turns itself on right after, but this doesn't always happen though. It's really annoying.

I have the same problem. In fact I just turned my note 3 on (after being powered down all night) and set it on the counter. As it powered up, the camera app started.

Note 4 display turning on during calls

Hi.
I have an SM-910F, android version 5.0.1 with a bugging problem. During calls when i get a second call or some other notification the screen turns on and i end up pressing different buttons and commands with my cheek. proximity sensor functions ok as it turns on and off correctly when i dont have call waiting or when no other notifications get in the way. i believe the problem comes from the stock phone app which cant be replaced. i tried in call settings to disable "Notify during calls" and/or the "Call-related pop-ups", all in vain. It is very annoying as i ended some calls and noticed i opened almost 10 new windows (bluetooth, mobile data aso screens).
is anyone else having this issue? is there a solution to this?
my only hope is that this will be fixed with the new android update (5.1.1) which seems to be taking forever.

Anyone?

I face the same issue too especially when I'm getting a pop up call notification. I just put the phone back and forth on my ear an it works sometimes. Guess it's a Samsung bug.

and still no word on the android update. i need a fix for this issue. its annoying

well, the update arrived but with no damn fix

Unlocking inside pocket due to active display

The active display feature is great but it's sensors seem to be extremely sensitive with it turning on every few seconds as a result.
Also when I put it in my pocket with the active display still on there's a good chance it will unlock itself and open a bunch of apps by itself.
Is there any way to get around this? thanks

You can disable active notifications or add a lockscreen code/pattern if you are that concerned. Mine so far, "sometimes" activates notifications in my pocket, but the sensor is designed to avoid this. However, mine has never unlocked in my pocket.

Lol......I guess this happened to me a couple days ago, because when I was looking through my gallery I had 28 black/blank pictures (of the inside of my pocket). The best party, the new Google Photo's app sent me a notification that I had an animated montage of all my "recent photo activity", it was 5 seconds of noting
Thanks Google photos for making me laugh!

You must have activated the twist camera... Must have been some party!

If you were to do this, is there any kind of notification indicator at all remaining?

I don't know if it was the same thing, but when i was running it often goes crazy. Switching the screen on and then selecting random apps to open.

I was walking at work today and suddenly heard the "Beep-boop" of the dialer from my pocket... and I have a lockscreen code.

Happens to me too, annoying
I just got my moto x style a few days ago and almost every time I put it into my pocket it unlocks itself, I can tell because it gets very hot in my pocket from opening apps and using internet.

Those of you having this issue, do you have "Lift for Moto Voice" enabled? I was having problems and turned off that feature and noticed a huge difference. Doesn't seem to wake up on its own anymore ...

Screen does not wake when notifications hit when connected to Gear S

Since I connected my s7 edge to my gear s the screen does not wake up when I get an email/text/outlook ect it only alerts on my gear s.
I looked in that forum nothing, I believe it is a setting for my phone and not a issue with the watch. Any help would be appreciated!
Both the phone and watch are stock non-rooted
