Screebl, the battery saver keep your screen on wunderkind, worksbased on a simple observation: we generally hold our phones ortablets in roughly the same positions when we're using them.Screebl uses the sensors in your mobile device to detect how you'reholding it, and when your device is within a configurable range,the screen is kept on. Move out of that range, and Screebl releasesthe lock and the screen is allowed to go off.

KNOWN ISSUES
✓ Some phones do NOT deliver sensor events when the screen is off.Examples include some HTC phones, some Sony Xperia phones, andquite a few Motorola phones. PocketLock may not work properly onthese phones. See this link for more info: http://www.saltwebsites.com/2012/android-accelerometers-screen-off
✓ PocketLock sometimes causes battery drain on some devices. Theeffect of the PocketLock feature varies widely from one device toanother. The longer that you have PocketLock monitor for removalfrom your pocket, the more power used. Most devices see a minorincrease in power consumption when using PocketLock (4-8%).
✓ Stillness detection doesn't detect small movements on somedevices. A few devices have coarse-grained sensors, and movement isnot detected well, causing unwanted stillness timeouts. I amworking on a fix for this that will be in an upcoming release. Mostphones are fine.
✓ Screebl doesn't start when the phone is powered-on. On some HTCphones the "fastboot" capability can cause problems with Screeblstarting at power-on. I've done my best to fix this, but it stillis a problem on some HTC devices. Screebl must NOT be moved to SDstorage.
