What in the name of F

I gotta violently swing my effing phone like a lunitic (because it does NOT work as smoothly as folks say) just to turn my flashlight on?

    Up voted, because I don’t agree. I have the 2023 power or whatever it’s called with the big battery.

    • the double chop and twist are so fast
    • wired headphones are lovely
    • the battery life is the best I have had
    • when you want a nice picture you can borrow an iphone 😅

    I picked a cheap phone on purpose, but I don’t know how I’ll be able to go back to a phone that doesn’t have the chop to activate the flashlight gesture. It works everytime for me, and it’s a pretty easy gesture. I’ve never had it go off accidentally either. Same goes for the double twist for the camera.

    The guestures have been such a pleasant surprise for my budget tier device.

    Loved it on my Moto X 2014, not sure how you’re doing it wrong. double chop, small movement, around 30 degrees. Hold the phone flat against your palm, like you’re shaking hands with it.

    Works a little too well sometimes and it turned on when I was running with my phone in my pocket.

      Even my G5S had the features and it worked perfectly. Same with my current Edge 20 ofc.
