Please add in the nearest update information to the notification area that 
service is running (with some sign). This notification should be removed if the 
service is killed or turned off manually.

After trialing many similar apps, your one is by far the best, least intrusive 
app out there, but it would be great if it were in the play store for auto 
updates and all that. 

This tool is great, a real pocket life saver. Only one slight annoyance is that 
the icon is always displayed in the notifications panel, it doesn't matter if I 
have the setting ticked or not. Any ideas?

I have a mobile phone. When I use it in landscape mode, frequently I 
accidentally cover the proximity sensor with my thumb. I don't want the 
proximity service to trigger and switch the screen off in landscape mode.
Is there a way to add a new option "Landscape mode controlled" for that 
(besides "No control", "Event controlled", "Handset controlled")?
It would be the same as "No control" but disabled in landscape mode.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Settings are:
   Service running = true
   No control = true
   Show icon in notification = true
   Auto start service at boot = true

2. Rotate mobile phone in landscape mode.

3. Cover proximity sensor with thumb.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- Screen should not switch off when the requested option is selected.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
- product version 2.1
- Android version ICS 4.0.4

Please provide any additional information below.
I really like this app. It saves me from using the power button, and it does 
not drain the battery. Right now I use the program with the "Event controlled" 
setting to avoid accidental screen off in landscape mode. However in this case 
I need to lock the device every time before I put it in my pocket.

Thank you for this great app!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set an Alarm.
2. Activate proximity sensing, either through Event controlled + Display off, 
or Headset controlled + Connect a headset.
3. When the alarm sounds, move a hand over the proximity sensor.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The alarm snoozes, whereas it should wait for the user to Dismiss or Snooze 
manually. Note: If the proximity sensor is covered, the alarm doesn't sound at 
all, it simply snoozes.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Proximity Service 2.1, although it happened on the previous version as well. 
Android 4.0.3 on HTC One XL.

Please provide any additional information below.

I tried going through the source code to fix it, but I can't find the code that 
runs when the proximity sensor is activated (i.e. moving a hand over the 
sensor). Am I right that proximityWakeLock is used to turn off the screen off? 
But how is toggleProximityWakeLock linked to the proximity sensor?

Either I'm missing some critical android knowledge, my java is extremely rusty 
or I'm too tired to figure out what's going on...probably a bit of all three.
