On my Verizon TP2, the screen goes to sleep after a minute or so. It doesn't wake up when I pick it up or even with a tap on the screen or keyboard; it requires that you hit the stupid wake button on the side of the phone.
I was wondering if a program exists to make my TP2 operate like my Logitech Harmony One remote; it automatically wakes the screen when I pick it up.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
If someone could make an application like that i would be very thankfull.
While the harmony movement detection is working very well it would be possible on an TP2 as well.
just wave a magnet over it.
the case's magnetic flap will work.
I personally think that a program to wake up the phone by detecting movement is not good idea bcoz it'll keep the device on while you are walking and having the phone in your pocket, so battery life will be affected. Unless you disable that feature when you are carrying it and run the app just when the device is on your desk.
An easy solution would be to disable the wake function if movement longer than 3 or 4 seconds is detected. If in constant motion, like in your pocket when walking, it would remain asleep.
im looking for an app that could allow the device to wake from sleep by a quick double tap on the screen, anyone know if such a thing exists?

Doesn't pulling out the keyboard mean that I wish to use the device?
If so why didn't they make doing so to power on the device automatically.
Can this be done?
This is something I've thought of too, especially since once you have slid out the keyboard, it becomes difficult to hit the power button (or do I just have fat fingers )
would love to know if some one could get this to work.
This is so obvious to us that it should be doable. Let's hope it is.
I don't think this would be a good idea. because the keyboard slide easly open when you pull it out of the case or when you just handle it. each time it will power up on unwanted moments. your battery will draw more quickly.

It would only need to power up when the backlight of the keyboard comes on, so that would require the keyboard to be fully open. It's unlikely you'd do that by accident.
I agree its only when it clicks back fully that the the screen flips over which means it should be safe to turn on at that point.
Besides it seems to lock closed rather nicely for me but perhaps with age it will wear out.
At least as adults we could have been given the option to take the risk !
i agree this would be a good idea - in fact i wondered why it doesn't do this by default when i first used it...
Slide out keyboard should power on device
Yes this is missing, let the power on respons on the end of sliding like the screen switch!
What if it automatically opened the "new text message" window as well? I think that could be quite cool, cause the only time I open the keyboard is to write a message usually

Logical thing would be to make "keyboard opened" a configurable "button", just like how you can assign actions to other (real) buttons.
Is the JasJam better behaved than WM2003 models in terms of waking up? My iMate PDA2k wakes up and activates the screen when e.g. received SMS, or connected bluetooth, or all sorts of things. Having the screen activate causes lots of accidental things like making phone calls etc. Same thing happens getting it out of holster or pocket while ringing. When it wakes up to ring or otherwise notify, the screen should stay locked until a hard button is used.
has there been updated with this?
Ive searched the registry thinking that if the OS knows the keyboard is open and rotates the screen then surely we can tell it to wake it up. But not much luck...
I'm no developer so I can't do this myself. My idea is this:
The device in lying flat on a table. There is a new incoming message and since my diamond is set not to wake up on new message, the screen stays off. But when the device is picked up, the g-sensor senses this and the device turns on and goes directly to messages inbox.
It should only work when the device is lying flat, so it doesn't wake up in the pocket. Maybe the lightsensor also is used so it doesn't wake up when it's dark - so it doesn't wake You up in the middle of the night.
Anyone up for the challenge?

There is one problem though, when the phone is really suspended, the GSensor cannot be read out. And if you keep the phone awake, it will drain battery.
However, you can use TouchLockPro as locking program, where you can suspend the device at backlight off or after some time after power on. If you set the times low (e.g. 10 seconds), then you have time to pick up the phone. The light sensor will automatically unlock the phone, when there is enough light. Or use the GSensor for unlocking, or one of the other means, like capacitive NavSensor, stylus, etc.
I really don't see the point with this... Why not just use S2U2, and let the device wake up on a new SMS? The phone stays locked, and your friends won't have to wait forever for you to see - and answer - the SMS
someone here on xda-dev createt a app like this but I forgot who coded the app.. i search a little..

i have searched around and haven't found quite what im looking for. i find my phone screen is turning on in my pocket and sometimes unlocks. i hear the sound of it unlocking all the time just from the pressure against my leg. i keep it so my screen is faced in because of what i do for work i could easily smash it against something. i have bought a case that helps prevent the side power button and the home button from being pressed but still happens quite often.
what i am looking for is an app/mod that will keep the screen from coming on when the proximity sensor detects that it is in my pocket. this would need to work regardless of whether home/power buttons are pressed or a notification wakes it.
if anyone knows of something like this for our phones i would much appreciate it.
Don't have that app/mod, but you may be interested in this one instead. Killing the home button's ability to wake up the phone. I did this on my S4, although you only need to modify the one file, the gpio-key.kl. You need to be rooted:

Thanks ill give it a try and see if it cuts down on screen on time. I have noticed that ill get notifications and phone calls that will turn the screen on and then simply walking will be enough to swipe and unlock. This screen is much more sensitive than my old epic.
I have used quite a lot of time pondering over how to wake up the phone using a timer instead of a real event like pressing the lock button or taking the phone out of your pocket using proximity sensor. I tried to use two apps, Automate and Tasker, to achieve this functionality, but for some reason neither of them managed to successfully wake the phone up although the event that was supposed to wake it up did trigger. Then I thought about how there are loads of apps that let you wake the phone by tapping the screen or shaking it, and came up with an idea to feed a signal with a timer that equals tapping the screen and use that to fool the app into waking the phone up.
Is this a possibility, or is there another, reliable way to wake the screen up using a timer?
Tap to wake won't work on the S4 since the screen is completely turned off, therefore it won't react to any touch events when the screen is off, like the new generation phones do.
Shake to wake may work.
I found out the other day that this phone has lift to wake. My question is: How does it work exactly? Assuming no lockscreen security, does it work like the iPhone and OnePlus 5? i.e. Does it automatically turn on when you lift it toward you so you can interact with the screen, or does it just flash notifications? Can you just lift it up, then swipe to unlock? I'm asking because the phone has no double-tap-to-wake, which is a must-have feature for me, but this is a good compromise.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: To clarify, I'm asking if I can lift the phone and start using it WITHOUT hitting the power button.
Just like you described, lift to wake and notification wake, then you can intertact with it.
Lift it up and it wakes.
It does a black and white version of your lockscreen.
If you tap it hard enough, you can wake it btw without lifting it up.
I believe it uses either the gyroscope or acceleration sensor, or both. If you twist your phone or move it quickly, the dim display will turn on. Just like others have pointed out.
Also you can have it set up to be unlocked and ready when lifting up by setting up smart Lock. If your home your device can stay unlocked and when you lift it up it will be ready to go.
Do we know if we can enable a tap to wake or wave to wake?
Is this something we would need root for?
this function not smooth as iPhone.
