Shake Screen On Off vs Pzizz - Sleep, Nap, Focus Usage & Stats

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. 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 FREE version of the app. On the PRO version, you can do everything you can do on the FREE version, plus: 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. ------------------------- 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 --------------------- Prevent phone from sleeping - necessary to wake the phone up after it's screen is turned off. View network connections and full network access - only necessary on the FREE version, to be able to show ads (non-intrusive ads, only displayed when the user open the main screen of the app). This app uses the Device Administrator permission in order to be able to lock and unlock the device when you shake it.

Featured in The New York Times, WIRED, Engadget, Gizmodo, Product Hunt, Lifehacker, Mashable, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated and more! PRESS MENTIONS “…Hibbert credits the app for helping cure his insomnia and diminish his postgame dependence on Ambien.” – NBA Star Roy Hibbert speaking to Sports Illustrated “That night, I nestled under my covers, downloaded the full version of Pzizz and turned it on… I was out before 20 minutes had passed and haven't looked back since.” - Jenna Wortham, New York Times “Pzizz helps you get to sleep faster and get more restful sleep with a combination of soothing sounds and voice cues aimed at helping you relax, destress, and get to sleep. In my experience, it works really well.” - Adam Pash, Lifehacker HOW IT WORKS Using the latest clinical research (see our website for in-depth details), the app's patented system plays you "dreamscapes"— a sleep-optimized mix of music, voiceover, and sound effects that change each night, to quickly quiet your mind, put you to sleep, keep you asleep, and then wake you up feeling refreshed. If you want to sleep better at night or take incredible power naps during the day, this is the app for you! All you have to do is listen to Pzizz. Headphones/earbuds are recommended for optimal effectiveness, but your built-in phone speaker will work too. SLEEP MODULE Beat your insomnia with our 'sleep module' to fall asleep fast, stay asleep, and wakeup feeling refreshed. Personalize your sleep experience with customizable options including "3D Voice" and an energetic “Wakeup;” three and a half minutes of music crafted to gently bring you back from slumber and start your day with energy. NAP MODULE Napping has been proven to enhance performance, alertness, and improve your mood. Customize your naps with our specially designed nap narrations and music. Get rid of that groggy feeling and improve your overall well-being. FOCUS MODULE The 'focus module' is music designed to help you get more work done. Built around ‘focuscapes,’ environments of sound that help you get in the zone and be productive, backed by the same thorough research we use to create our dreamscapes. Each focuscape has a ‘focus’ section which gets you into full concentration and a ‘cooldown’ section which brings you back out gently.
