The shake and flip trigger doesn't work while the screen is off.

[Ali121]

I have created a macro to make flashlight 'ON' by shaking the phone. and in constraints, I have put the condition "while the screen is off" but it doesn't work. Any clues on how it should work while the screen is off? and also another one to flip the phone to make it silent. This and the above work while the screen is on but don't work while the screen is off.

P.S I am using Galaxy S7 and Oreo.

Hi there I have set up a micro where when I flip my device from Face up - Face down, my phone will become silent. it was working when the device screen is on but when the screen gets off, it doesn't work. Any idea what am I doing wrong here?

The "flipping scenario" does work but flash-on with shaking only works 3 times with all these settings applied and doesn't work the fourth time. I have followed the instructions at dontkillmyapp.com and also yours I've flagged for shaking as well to work while the screen is off. It works like this:
Screen is off
1) I shake the phone flashlight turns-on
2) I shake the phone it gets-off
3) I shake the phone again it gets turn-on
4) I shake the phone again and it doesn't get turn-off no matter how many times I shake the phone but it doesn't work on the fourth try.
