Screebl in landscape

[RichStevenson]

Seems like after Screebl's last update, it doesn't detect when in landscape mode. Even when looking at the settings, it shows it's within range, yet it still doesn't activate. I emailed the dev but was wondering if anyone else is seeing this?

I use KeepScreen instead of Screebl... no issues here. Just an FYI if you need an alternative

Just checked. Screebl works okay for me in landscape with the latest update.

Working fine for me also

Thanks everyone. Not sure what was going on but it just started working again.

A few reviews say that Screebl is a battery killer -- true?

Hell no it's not a battery killer...it's a battery saver if anything. This is easly one of my personal Top 5 apps.

At present, you only have options to 'never' turn off the screen or turn it off after 'time' and neither option is really suffecient. There is also the menu option of keeping the screen 'on' if the phone is plugged in and while it does keep the screen on, it keeps it in a dimmed state. If I try and use 'never', I inevitably forget to manually turn the screen off, thus leading to a huge waste in battery life. If I try and use 'timed', then a) the timed length is generally too long if I'm just checking a text someone sent me (leading to lost battery life...but hey, the screen will turn back off) or b) it's too short for reading articles where you don't input a keypress that automatically renews the screen timer from turning the screen off.

Screebl Lite is, IMO, just one of those 'must have' apps as it puts functionality into the phone that is transparent to the user. When it comes down to it, I don't worry about my phones display shutting off when I don't want it to, nor worry about it staying on forever and killing the battery.

I concur. even though I use KeepScreen instead of Screebl the functionality of these apps is a must.

I've noticed NO battery drain as a result of running this app.

I have just found Screebl to stop working for me also.

Odd. There is a defect somewhere. It isn't as if the Droid isn't aware of its orientation. I can go into a browser or youtube etc. and the display rotates.

However when in Screebl and adjusting the behavior the Screebl app doesn't know the Droid is moving in my hand.

I'll reboot and see what occurs.

[stuhasdroid]

Restart the Droid and all is well again.

Oh well. Not like that doesn't ever happen on my Windows box
