Then you can still save battery life by locking the screen, but then it is also very easy to get back into your phone with the swipe of a finger or whatever else you would like depending on your ROM. | |

But this would be susceptible to false triggers (wake-up in pocket, etc.) Many of the 1st/2nd generation smart phones did this. And their battery life was v. poor. | |
| Sep 29, 2012 at 9:57 | comment | added | BAD_SEED | @SachinShekhar this sounds reasonable. But i'm still asking why. My old Nokia 5800 turnsoff the screen and wakeup only with a touch on it. | |

| Sep 29, 2012 at 3:57 | comment | added | david6 | Which Android version? (in case relevant) | |
| Sep 28, 2012 at 15:59 | comment | added | iOS Enthusiast | To save battery, screen needs to be turned off. If it projects black image, it'll drain battery. And, wake up by touch isn't possible if screen is turned off. | |
