Help Can you wake the phone without using the power button?

[los panda]

is there a way to come out of sleep mode w/o pressing power? i'd rather just touch the screen to wake it up. my phone is not rooted.

Yes of course, let me press the button for you... No seriously: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wildroid.wake.up.screen

I'd rather use this app with caution, shaking is one of the major causes of electronic equipment failure...

Plenty of options for rooted users....not so much for non rooted

that's what i feared. i don't plan to pay for an app. thank you both, i am contemplating rooting it. it was suggested to me that i root it after i activate my service, why?
