        AnonD-509876, 02 Mar 2016Have you try Knockr from Gplay knock on screen to wake up?Knockr didn't work very well. I had tried many screen on/off app, some of them worked half function only, for example, double tap to switch off screen only (no double tap to wake up screen). Default double tap feature available is better like my previous LG G2.

              I have used it for more than 21 days now in KitKat 18 firmware version on Padfone S, no restart by itself problem. So far it is good.

                For users who like double tap or using hand near the proximity to screen off the LCD, you might be want to install smart screen on/off. I use this app, now my Padfone S will turn off screen by double tap and hand cover the proximity sensor and screen on when hand cover the proximity sensor.

                  After several days of used, I went back to KitKat 18 again. So far I don't face random restart by itself in KitKat.

                            Heating issue. It generates more heat than my wife 2 yearold galaxy s3 even using it for about 10 min of camera, web browsing. It feels uncomfortable when we put the heated phone in pocket.

                                Camera review. Not a good front (selfie) camera. Very poor picture quality. But the back camera is quite good. In automatic setting only can set 3M (4:3) and 2M (16:9) only. U will get 10M if set to other options.
