anyone know an app that can wake the phone by shaking it?
instead of using the home button, I want to shake the phone to wake it if it sense it is out of the pocket (light / proximity)?
thank you.
why would you want to wake by shaking??? what if youre walkign up/ down some stairs, that'd shake it enough to wake it most likely!
thats why I said proxmity and sense light
it would only work if is out of the pocket
i want this app !!!
i've been looking for an app that can do that as well, it's so much efficient to unlock the phone that way, than via sliding

Ok this may be a dumb question but I have been searching for the answer and can not find it any where. I want to unlock and have the screen come on( comeout of standby) by sliding the keyboard out.
Like when you flip out the screen on the side kick.
I have the 2.17 custom rom by xelencin if that helps.
Thanks
I really want that feature too!
To add a same thing to your question, can i unlock the machine with one hand?
I have smartkey installed but everytime i try to unlock the screen, it said I have to press Unlock, and there is no way to press it with a softbutton, i have to either do it with a stylus or the keyboard....

and leave fingerprint smurk on the screen you mean?
The only problem I could see with sliding to turn on / unlock etc is that the magnetic catch on the standard case would then activate the switch on etc... I'm sure it would be possible to intercept this trigger in some way even when the OS is in standby but I can see issues with the device turning on when used with the standard case...
The screen doesn't rotate when you open the keyboard until aftr the device is turned on, which suggests to me that the position of he keyboard isn't monitored by the device when it's switched off. If this is the case ten it would be impossiblt to have the keyboard switch turn the device on.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Yep, pretty sure sliding the keyboard out does not create a wakeup event. It is possible that something like MortSaver could be used to mimic this function - that's a program that turns off the screen and locks the buttons when you press a hotkey - i.e. it doesn't put the device into standby, it just kinda puts it into low power mode. I'm pretty sure that could be rewritten to turn the screen back on when the keyboard slides out. Perhaps if you plead with the author...
Loving my HTC One, but I have such small hands that I can hardly reach the Power button to wake it up after it goes to sleep!
Does anyone know of an app where I can use the Volume button instead?
Thanks in advance.
Only way to possibly assign the sleep/wake function to the volume buttons would mean having to be rooted. I don't know if anyone's made that change yet though, it might just require editing a single file. Don't have any experience with This myself so not 100%. Just know it requires root.

After a quick search online I've discovered Auto Screen On in the Play Store, which lets me double tap the proximity sensor (left of top speaker) to wake it up.
Works perfectly but an app using the Volume button would be much better.
With this app your screen has to be awake all the time and will drain your battery i think.
On TrickDroid v2.0.0 u can choose VolWake in Aroma

Moved your thread to the proper section for you. Please remember to post only in the correct sections. Thanks.
I've heard of some app for a nexus 4 that allows you to just swipe the screen and it turns on. Not sure what it was called, but you get the concept.
Good job I have big hands really because this nor generally using the phone is an issue due to its size.

I'm assuming sweep2wake or swipe2wake will eventually be implemented. It's basically swiping left to right on the capacitive buttons to wake the phone.
The One X had it, but it was a bit buggy when I used it in terms of it not working if the phone was asleep for a long time. I got rid of my One X a while ago though so idk how the feature works now and if they figured it all out., but I expect it to get implemented on the HTC One eventually.
The proximity sensor isn't a bad idea, jailbroken iPhone 5 etc...have the always on proximity where if you cover the proximity it'll turn the screen off and eventually lock the phone after a while. So you can put it in your pocket and it will turn the display off, bring it out of pocket and it comes on without needing to slide to unlock or anything. It's good if your messaging constantly.

iirc showp1984 said he's getting a htc one, and see oz did too so hopefully one of them will bring sweep to wake Zarboz did an excellent job on the incredible s and he doesn't even have the device
Sweep to wake generally doesn't work sometimes in deep sleep. I use vol wake and the. Sweep to go to sleep on my incredible s now s2w is actually the greatest thing ever
MOD EDIT: Removed
This is driving me crazy!
I've set the Z3 Compact to tap to wake - a feature I like very much - but I'll often pull out the phone to see that it's taken loads of pictures of my pocket. And my pocket really isn't that interesting.
I've tried changing the password from a pattern to a PIN thinking that maybe I was somehow unlocking it that way, but I figure I must somehow be knocking the camera icon on the lock screen and it seems the only way I can remove that from the lock screen also stops the physical button working too.
So has anyone any ideas on how can I fix this and (a) keep the physical camera button working and (b) keep using tap to lock? Thanks.
Are you locking the phine pefore putting it in your pocket or just letting it sleep?
I had mine set to lock 30 seconds after pressing the side button to sleep it and was ending up with pocket texting and calls and pictures. Set it to lock instantly with button press and have not had any issues. Maintained 30 seconds after sleep for regylar locking.

You are probably hitting the dedicated camera button on something. A full depression will wake the phone and the next one will take a picture. Doesn't matter if the phone is locked etc.
try to disable the dedicate button for camera.. in camera options
As suggested here deactivate waking up the camera with the dedicated camera button. I had that problem to until i deactivated that.

Hello guys, I have a problem with my htc m7. During calls, the screen goes off (normally, because of the proximity sensor), but remains responsive. That means I can press accidentally on the end call button, or home button, or any other button for that matter, on screen and capacitive keys.
Now, so you guys don't say that I haven't looked into this, I think I know the trouble maker. I downloaded an app called Gravity Screen so when my phone is in my pocket (upside down and facing the leg), I don't get accidental pocket dials, or when the phone rings, I don't accidentally answer or decline. These pocket dials and answers or rejects happen because I turned off the lockscreen and I have swipe to unlock enabled. Turning off lockscreen means that when someone calls me and the phone is locked, the answer screen is like when the phone was on, meaning buttons for answer/decline instead of the lockscreen swipe to answer/decline, so it's easy for my leg to touch one of the buttons.
This app, Gravity Screen, locks my screen when it's rotated for more than 60 degrees and proximity is detected. Also, the app is allowed to run during calls (because I want it to block my leg dials and answers/rejects). But I think that the app and the stock proximity screen off do not agree to each other, so when I am in a call, even though my screen turns black, it is not actually locked, so every touch is registered.
Finally, my question is: can I do something so this app doesn't conflict with the call screen proximity off? Or is there another app that does what I want, without interfering with the stock proximity features?
I am running ARHD 84 with ElementalX 18, kitkat 4.4.3, sense 6.
Anyone?

Why not simply using pocket detection feature of elementalX and get rid of your app that is in conflict when in call?
Im using double tap to wake + pocket detection and my phone never turns on when in my pocket and no input registered when in call.

I turned on the pocket detection in ElementalX, the phone doesn't wake up in pocket, but when someone calls me and the phone is in my pocket, the screen turns on. This app I have doesn't allow the screen to turn on even when someone calls
Hi there,
Tap to wake is a neat feature but I find myself waking up my phone too often by mistake, so I tried to figure out a way to get the old double tap to wake back, but couldn't find out how.
I guess it must be implemented into custom kernel ?
Any advice would be appreciated !
Same, I had to turn this off b/c my phone kept waking in my pocket and changing songs.
I noticed too sometimes my phone wakes up in y pocket, coming from OnePlus it surprised me cause I'm used to have pocket mode. Hope there will be a workaround later.
I replaced the Pixel Launcher with Nova Launcher. Light years better. While there is no double tap to wake, you can double tap to lock the screen then just use the fingerprint reader to unlock the screen. Since owning the OG Droid long ago it seems, I have yet to find a home launcher better than Nova. Worth every penny.
Double Tap - Apps on Google Play
Easy to turn on/off screen without power. Not affected to unlock by fingerprint
play.google.com
Works perfectly on Pie.
As for Q...? Give Google time and they will screw up anything and everything.
I use NovaLauncher too and all my devices for years now. I love it.
But that's not what me and OP are complaining about. We want to double-tap the screen while the phone is laying a table and have it wake up to lock screen. Picking it up and using the fingerprint sensor on back doesn't help.
Lift to Wake works, but you have too, duh, lift it to wake it. We want the double tap for our fingers, but not erroneous dbl tap detections when phone is moving around in pocket or in my hand.
I can't tell you how many times music player skipped forward or back b/c or incorrect dbl taps, waking, and then more taps from my pocket contents or whatever.
I'm using OnePlus launcher port as I'm used to it (and I love the gesture to access hidden apps from app drawer, asking for fingerprint).
And I'm happy with it, I use Gravity box so I can turn the screen with double tap on status bar.
For now I disabled tap to wake, and I use tasker to turn on always on when there's an incoming notification, so that I don't have to wake my screen just to check if there's something new.
I'm confident someone will give us a custom kernel allowing double tap to wake someday !
Seems like there's something wrong with proximity sensor, I noticed that after trying to play with proximity sensor in tasker, it always return 5cm.
Updating to February build did not solve the issue, that could be the reason why there's no pocket mode.
Anybody else with this problem ? (There are several apps that can read sensors and check for proximity one.)
Did anyone ever figure this out. I really like the double tap to wake so I just tap my phone while it sits on table to wake. I never had an issues w/tapping to wake before (LG v35, etc) and I now realize why it is a huge problem for myt 4A 5G -- stupid Google make it tap to wake, not double tap. For me, this cause constant waking and then irritating unwanted activity (music changing, podcasts stopping) while my phone is still in my pocket. Arrrrg.

If your phone wakes up in your pocket, you must have a problem with proximity sensor, i had to remove my screen protector because of that, and now, no more accidental wake up while in the pocket (but i still miss the double tap to wake).
