Description:
WaveUp is an Android app that wakes up your phone - switches the screen on -
when you wave over the proximity sensor.
Wake up your phone - switch 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.

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
