I'm looking for an app that let's me raise the phone to wake and it will allow the face recognition to work. I've tried several but the only let me use the pin or fingerprint recognition to access the phone.
Try Gravity Screen. It has lots of settings for laying down to shut off or picking up to turn on the screen. I have it setup for my flip cover and it is GREAT. Open and swipe and i'm in the phone, based on my security settings. Close the cover (or put in a bag or pocket) it goes off. Hard to believe it is free. Set up takes trial and error, but when you get it it is awesome.
