About the application:

WaveUp is an apk that wakes up your smartphone - switches the screen on - when you wave over the proximity sensor. I have developed this apk 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 smartphone. There are already another apks that do exactly this - and even more. I was inspired by Gravity Screen On/Off, which is a good apk. However, I am a large fanatic of begin source tool and test to install gratis tool (gratis as in freedom, not only gratis as in gratis beer) on my smartphone if possible. I wasn't able to search an begin source apk that did this so I just did it myself. If you're interested, you can take a look at the code: https://gitlab.com/juanitobananas/wave-up Just wave your hand over the proximity sensor of your smartphone 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 phone 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 smartphone and turns off the screen if you cover the proximity sensor for one second (or a specified time). This does not have a unique name but can nonetheless be changed in the settings screen too. This is not enabled by default. For those who have never heard proximity sensor before: it is a little thingie that is somewhere near where you place your ear when you speak on the smartphone. You practically can't see it and it is responsible for telling your smartphone to switch off the screen when you're on a call. Uninstall This apk uses the Device Administrator permission. Therefore you cannot uninstall WaveUp 'normally'. To uninstall it, just begin it and use the 'Uninstall WaveUp' button at the bottom of the menu. Known issues Unfortunately, some smartphones allow the CPU on while listening to the proximity sensor. This is called a wake lock and causes considerable battery drain. This isn't my fault and I cannot do anything to change this. Another phones will "go to sleep" when the screen is turned off while still listening to the proximity sensor. In this case, the battery drain is practically zero. Required Android device Permissions: ▸ WAKE_LOCK to turn on the screen ▸ USES_POLICY_FORCE_LOCK to lock the device ▸ RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED to automatically startup on boot if chosen ▸ READ_PHONE_STATE to suspend WaveUp while on a call Miscellaneous notes This is the first Android device apk I have ever written, so beware! This is also my first little contribution to the begin source globe. Finally! I would love if you should give me feedback of any type or contribute in any way! Thanks for reading! Open source rocks!!! Translations It would be really cool if you should assist translate WaveUp to your language (even the English ver should probably be revised). It's accessible for translation as two projects on Transifex: https://www.transifex.com/juanitobananas/waveup/ and https://www.transifex.com/juanitobananas/libcommon/.
