Description
DESCRIPTION: Smart screen ON is an innovative app which turns your proximity sensor into a power button. If you have a big phone with no physical button on the front(Galaxy Nexus for example, you can turn on or turn off the phone just tapping or waving your hand (finger) on proximity sensor.
FEATURES: When you change the settings, remember saving and restarting service using built in app specific button. There are two mode available, both mode can coexist:
+WAVE MODE: Wave (move) your hand/finger on proximity sensor, even without touching it. You can set the amount of waves you want to use to turn on/off screen and the time between each wave. Do you want to wave your hand quickly or slowly?
+TAP AND SWIPE MODE: 1) Tap proximity sensor using your finger; 2) Wait for the first vibration; 3) Swipe (remove) quickly your finger, before it vibrates for the second time. You can set the time before the first and the second vibration.
+DISABLE SENSOR You can also disable sensor after an amount of time you can set in the app panel. The app will disable the whole service and proximity sensor after X time of inactivity.
+STATISTICS Statistics include: A)Smart Screen ONs; B)Smart Screen OFFs; C)Total power button saves; D)The power used by your proximity sensor (which is very very low).
+START ON BOOT If you check this, the app will start on boot.
+HIDE ICON If you hide the icon, the app could be instable and could be killed by Android in low memory conditions.

This is the first time to use this kind's of app's. I am thankful for used this to my CP co'z the power button of my CP using is totally useless to used.
★★★★★
Great for Galaxy Nexus, not Nexus 5 This has worked for all my Samsung phones (captivate, galaxy nexus, Galaxy S3)- but for the LG Nexus 5, it doesn't seem to pick up the waves very well. This might be due to the phone. Otherwise, 4 stars- I knock one off simply b/c it would be nice to have this somehow more usable with a lock screen setup. Pushing the power button typically does not lock the screen if you have a default timeout, but using the wave sensor will lock the screen no matter what your time.
★★★★★
Great screen on app that will save the power button. This app is less than 600k byte and doesn't drain the battery. Needs to set it always on. Otherwise, the app will shut down after a while.
★★☆☆☆
No worky on HTC One Doesn't work on my HTC One. Best I got was for it to vibrate my phone twice with the screen off. Refund...
★★☆☆☆
Wake up too easily UPDATE: Touch Control + franco. Kernel is MUCH better than this app! Touch Control really wakes up by swiping on the screen or tapping, and this with very little battery usage. While this app (Smart Screen On) uses more battery and requires you to wave the finger precisely above the proximity sensor (the little circle on top right of the phone). OLD REVIEW: Tried the free and wanted to support the dev by buying the paid version. This app is useful for people having a non-functional power button. My Galaxy Nexus is unlocked almost every time time I put the phone in the pocket or take it out of the pocket. I have tried various parameter values, Wave Hand mode, Tap & Swipe mode. All failed b/c sliding the phone in the pant pocket somehow tricks the proximity sensor. As a result, the power button might be saved but battery usage increased. After a week, I developed a weird habit of looking in the pocket to check if the screen is on (it is most of the time). Then I took it out, turned screen of and slide back carefully in the pocket and rechecked. I grow tired of this routine and decided to uninstall. Now I can tell you I prefer much better the old way.
