Help Return To App After Sleeping

[magimaker]

I'm using an HTC One M8 and it seems as though the Android OS does something REALLY annoying that my old Galaxy S4 didn't do. If I have an app running and the device goes into sleep mode, when I awake the phone I'm at the home screen instead of the app. This is really annoying for things like my audio player, which typically is playing music and after a few minutes, the sleep screen turns on. When I want to get back into the audio player, I have to re-open it. Samsung devices don't do this, they awake right where you left off. Is there any way to tell this phone to do that too? Thanks!

Main settings, Display & Gestures, turn on motion launch gestures.

Pick up phone in portrait, swipe up from the bottom, last app open appears.

Works that way on Nova launcher, *pretty sure* it's the same with stock.

Swipe from left to get to widgets, depending on your setup, that may work for you too, sorry, not sure.

Sorry, that doesn't work. I already had it on and it doesn't solve the problem.

Actually, that may be working after all. Thanx!

Sometimes if the phone was in a wonky position, I point the screen down just to be sure then pull it up.
