Hi Ming,

We just added a feature to prevent your phone from automatically
locking if you are around. I'm sure it could be easily extended to
also lock it when you leave. Waking it up from sleep will be more
difficult because it will only be possible once we support Bluetooth
(4?). Waking up a computer from sleep is something that has to be done
by hardware (what Tether does with Bluetooth), and it's not something
we can just write a program for.
