SoftLocker FREE
When activated, SoftLocker maintains a screen-only lock by holding a partial wake lock on the system, thus DISABLING deep sleep.
Note:
As of v0.9.1 This version has the same functionality as the DONATE version of SoftLocker, but does not have a widget.
If you find this app useful, please consider purchasing the DONATE version of SoftLocker. Thank you for your consideration!
On to the details!
- -----------------
SoftLocker is useful for Android tablets only, it is pretty useless on phones! This app was originally tested on the Pandigital Novel, now on the NOOK Color, but *should* work on any tablet (like the Archos, Augen, Viewsonic, or other Android tablets).
When SoftLocker is enabled and the screen is locked, the device remains FULLY ALIVE except for the screen. Don't kill the service with an app killer! It consumes almost zero system resources.
Contact the dev with problems!

- Opposed to the Wake my Android app which doesn't work for the XOOM, this app actually works! This is an awesome app and solves the problem of my Android going into deep sleep mode and not able to wake up. It resolves me of having to force restart it every time and therefore hurting the tablet. Thanks a lot! :-) Update 2: After checking the Battery usage of my tablet again, I see that when no other apps are running, this consumes not 15% but only 6-9% of my battery, compared to CPU Wake Lock which uses 15%. What I said before about the battery usage was wrong, it was a glitch in my system from switching the wake lock apps quickly. Because it consumes less battery, I am now back to using this again instead of CPU Wake Lock. This is still the best. :-)
- I installed this last note on my cm7 touchpad which always have issue on a deep sleep mode but after last note my wife was still connected. I will make a donation for this.. Thanks for the dev!
- I have been looking for a way to combat the wake lag that my Note 2 experiences and this fixes it! Thanks so much. I will be donating very soon. Keep up the great work.
- This app is super. I was sick of the stupid delay on the screen on. And now, IT'S GONE! I will donate to you 100% for your brilliant app and hard work! Thank you.
- this app has been a boon for me phone as i can use my volume rockers to wake my device..my power button was dying..
- Thanks. I will donate after a couple days to make sure but it seems to have fixed my galaxy s2 screen lag issue.
- My Acer has issues with it going to sleep after some time without being used and this app helped it
- If you are experiencing the SOD problem on a HP touchpad modded to run android this is THE solution
- Works well on my Archos 101 to keep it from going into a buggy sleep mode.
- No more lag when I lock/unlock the phone!! Good work!!!
