About Wake Up Screen
Wake Up Screen is a fun, handy and useful tool app. It allows you to wake up the screen upon shaking the tablet or phone, or by proximity (pausing hand over device - no shakes), or by orientation (flipping device upside down), and saves the power and other buttons used to turn on the device. It works great during cold weather when you have gloves on or when the buttons are defective.
ATTENTION: If the app does not work on your device upon installation due to third party modifications, you can uninstall app within Google Play 15 min trial period to avoid being charged. Reverting to Stock Android or system upgrade might resolve issue. This app has been tested fully functional on devices listed below (list updated regularly).
HELPFUL GUIDE: Tap Settings button to disable/change Notifications or to set customized shake profile settings. ALWAYS deactivate then activate service to apply changes. Tap service LED indicator button for info on adding on/off button widget to HOME screen. To activate service, select shake profile and tap Activate button which will pin the service to the notification status bar and cause a notification sound indicating service is active. To get back to the main app, tap the wake up icon in the status bar. If activated, Wake Up Screen service will remain active even after rebooting tablet or phone. To deactivate service run the app again and tap deactivate button or use the widget button. Tap Help button for full instructions.
SMART APP FEATURE: If the screen wakes up and no user activity detected, the screen goes back to sleep after few seconds! You can easily change sensitivity profiles: wake up the screen as you pick up the device (High Sensitivity) or after few to many shakes (Less Sensitivity)! Service indicator LED and on/off widget button! Battery Saver Period setting (optional)!
IMPORTANT TO KNOW PRIOR TO INSTALLATION:
1. This app requires shake algorithm enabled devices.
2. This app requires “boot” and “keep screen on” permissions upon installations.
3. This app may not function on rooted devices or third party ROMs that disable “wake screen” activity.
4. This app uses between 4 to 8% of battery power and about 7 MB memory which is very low compared to system use. If needed, you can easily deactivate app processes to save battery use with the service on/off widget button.
5. This app does not alter security settings or lock screen configurations.
Finally: We encourage our users to contact us via email to discuss any concerns or suggestions regarding the app, if any. We cannot address review comments due to the fact that most negative comments that are left without prior contact with the developer are placed with the intent to lower app ratings and misguide the consumer.

it's working well. uses too much battery. need more functions to save battery: configure to sleep in some time slot,ie in evening, abd other ways to save battery

I've got HTC one s and broke the power button so when my screen sleeps I'm unable to wake it because this is what the power button did but this app does exactly what it says great app recommend to anyone with same problem.!!

Works great for me on my Nexus 7! I use my N7 to take notes using a stylus while reading (paper) books. I got annoyed that I had to use the power button every time I wanted to take a note, so now I put "Wake Up Screen" on the most sensitive setting, just wiggle my N7 a bit when I want to take a note et voila, ready to write! (I use it in combination with and app called "delayed lock" so I don't have to type my pin everytime it turns on) Great and fast costumer support as well!

Good for Huawei Y201 when power button doesn't respond consistently as that's the only way to wake up this phone. Drawback is the extra battery drain when this app is active.

AnyUnlock worked great by using volume keys after power button broke. Once phone auto upgraded the Android 4.0.4 AnyUnlock no longer worked. This does but by shaking vs volume buttons. I like volume button idea better, but this works well enough. 4 stars.

It is working like a charm. I did not really need it myself but I had to test drive it before I buy it for my not-so-tech-savvyy mum. Android 2.3.6 GINGERBREAD.UCLA3 And yes you can use it also even with the power button working.

..and it works perfectly on my Samsung Galaxy S II , I have previously downloaded a few other apps similar to this to bypass my power button but unfortunately I had to uninstall those apps since they weren't doing the job.. This one seems to work perfectly

Think about it. Your phone has one moving part, the power button. If that button stopped working you would have a brick. Save wear and tear on that poor little button and shake shake shake!

Works great for waking up the screen, just drain too much battery. Please find some way to reduce the battery usage, or I have to give up on it.

Like other wake up apps I've tried, it works great in some instances and then not at all in others. I've played around with it over a couple of days and it works sometimes, but not others and I've been unable to detect a pattern of causation yet. Also, I've had to reinstall several times because I continue to have the nefarious licensing message appear, even after lengthy periods of use. If I can get consistency from the app it would be 5 stars. The developer has been very responsive to my questions.

It uses to much of my battery, a hole 26% of it was just used on this app alone, a good idea would be to check for shacking every 5 seconds, once it detects something it should check more offen for 1 minite, then go back to checking every 5 seconds again, I'd also like to see if we can wake the phone by tapping the screen

Didn't really work for me on my Nexus 4. Probably just the way I use my phone, carry it in my pocket, etc. May work well on another device.

Shake options work very well, thus the 4-star rating. However, I was looking for a proximity wake up method which does not work with the Nexus 10, I'm assuming because the device has no such sensor. Maybe the next gen Nexus ten will have the sensor. Uninstalling and asking for refund.

A useful app especially if like me you own an HTC one with that akward flush fitting wake button on the very top. I've actually removed the app now though because using the proximity sensor depleted my battery in a little over three hours. It would appear the CPU stays active whilst sleeping. I've tried the SHAKE setting but it wasn't working consistent enough on my phone..

Killed my battery life on galaxy s4. Seemed ok at first, but it's bad. Worked well on galaxy s2 with broken power button, but also used the battery up in a few hours, so not really a solution.
