TouchWake : Use the Windows Phone hardware button to wake it up, if your lock button went broke
Waking up Windows Phone, for most of the phones, needs a push on the lock button and not anywhere else on the phone. Now this is done by design i.e. disable all the hardware buttons on Windows Phone and Screen to take up any action over sensor. This makes lot of sense but what if your Lock Button is just not working ? How do you wake up your phone ? Pull out the battery, yeah that would be the last option.
TouchWake
Windows Phone Hacker has rolled out an application which can keep the sensors alive so it can function the same way, it does when you are using it or just had pressed the unlock button.
This was explicitly releases as Samsung Touchwake as Jaxbot, the guy behind WPH, owns a Samsung Focus but reading the comments, it seems to be working on Samsung & Lumia 710 but not on HTC devices as of now.
The app comes with just one single button which when tapped to enable, changes the state of the hardware buttons to remain active.
This app has its obvious disadvantage i.e. Since the hardware buttons can respond, keeping it in your pant or when touching accidentally, it will be turned on and consume more battery power.

The application can be deployed over any unlocked phone which is capable of running and loading a XAP file. Download it from here.
