With Android can I power on from standby straight to the last running app

i.e. instead of getting the home screen when I power on (on my HTC One) and having to swipe the padlock up (no screen lock) before I see the last app I was running.

Go to Settings -> Security -> Screen Lock
Tap No Lock Screen
Then whenever you bring the phone out of stand-by it goes straight back to whatever was running when it went into stand-by.
Not on mine it doesn't, that was the first thing I tried
Hmmm
I've been doing a bit of googling. From what I've read it seems Android KitKat (which is ver 4.4) may have disabled the No lock Screen option or even removed it. Which does sort of beg the question as to why I both have the option and it works on my phone running 4.4.3?
Unless there has been some sort of tweaking by EE to customise it and restore that function.
Maybe an app is the only way to do the job then?
I'm running 4.4.2 HTC Sense Version 6.0
That works a treat thanks
I am on Android 4.4.3 and HTC Sense 6.0. I can only assume that there has been some tweaking involved in the version I'm running. But all I can say is that every single time I test it on my phone it does exactly what it says on the tin.
Very strange.
