Summary:App that turns the display on when you wave over the proximity sensor
|
||
|
|
Description:
|
||
|
|
WaveUp is an Android app that wakes up your phone - switches the screen on -
|
||
|
|
when you wave over the proximity sensor.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I have developed this app because I wanted to avoid pressing the power button
|
||
|
|
just to take a look at the watch - which I happen to do a lot on my phone.
|
||
|
|
There are already other apps that do exactly this - and even more. I was
|
||
|
|
inspired by Gravity Screen On/Off, which is a great app. However, I am a huge
|
||
|
|
fan of open source software and try to install free software (free as in
|
||
|
|
freedom, not only free as in free beer) on my phone if possible. I wasn't able
|
||
|
|
to find an open source app that did this so I just did it myself.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Just wave your hand over the proximity sensor of your phone to turn the screen
|
||
|
|
on. This is called wave mode and can be disabled in the settings screen in
|
||
|
|
order to avoid accidental switching on of your screen.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It will also turn on the screen when you take your smartphone out of your
|
||
|
|
pocket or purse. This is called pocket mode and can also be disabled in the
|
||
|
|
settings screen.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Both of these modes are enabled by default.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It also locks your phone and turns off the screen if you cover the proximity
|
||
|
|
sensor for 1.5 seconds. This does not have a special name but can nonetheless
|
||
|
|
be changed in the settings screen too. It is also enabled by default.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For those who have never heard proximity sensor before: it is a small thingie
|
||
|
|
that is somewhere near where you put your ear when you speak on the phone. You
|
||
|
|
practically can't see it and it is responsible for telling your phone to switch
|
||
|
|
off the screen when you're on a call.
