With my current phone, I use Wake Gestures extensively while driving to change tracks and play/pause with the screen off.
I would assume that the G6 would work with it, because of it having double-tap-to-wake, but for all I know DT2W is actually part of the always-on-display or something.
I plan on getting a V30 when they get around to releasing the carrier-less variant, so it would be nice to know in advance if it's likely to work.

Seems to me that far and away the #1 battery killer in Wear is the fact that the watch turns itself on constantly due to incidental movements. Hopefully this will be addressed in the next OS update (however that works) but in the meantime... I'm using a Moto 360 and I've read that "silencing" the phone would turn this feature off, didn't work though. I'm thinking of making an app that would just force the screen off until I hit the hardware button and disregard accelerometer events, but I don't know if this is possible. Anyone know if there's a working fix to the overzealous motion wake yet? If not I'll give it the ol' college try...

Can someone please help with this?? I have the same problem!
I would really like this as a feature too. In class it can be a bit distracting. There should really be a ton more options in the Android Wear app. Options like:
Disable Motion to Wake
Disable Tap to Wake
Swipe up/down (on the bottom) to hide/show notifications
Option to re-show dismissed weather cards without saying "Show me the weather".
Option to turn off vibrator (I can just glance at my watch when I feel my phone vibrate)
To answer the OP, no you can not disable wake-on-motion.
Many want this, I want this but who knows what Google will offer.
Rumor is there will be a Android Wear update soon, but I read the main thing is you will be able to play music from your watch, great I get 16-17 hours battery life and I really want to use it as a MP3 player.
Hey guys, my oneplus 2 is on version 2.0.2 and I'm having a weird Spotify bug. When it's in my pocket it'll skip and stop. I thought somehow it was turning on using the double tap to wake gesture so I disabled it but it and it didn't make a difference. I also use poweramp and I've never has this happen with that app. Maybe it's turning on the screen somehow? Any help would be appreciated.
There are gestures for Music control that include play, pause, next and back. Might check to see if those are enabled. Another way of making sure it's not gesture related would be to always put your phone in your pocket with the screen facing out. That ensures that your thigh isn't 'drawing symbols' on your touch screen. Downside is exposing your screen to things you bump in to...
I tried both of those already. I don't use the music gestures so I never turned them on. Weird because it doesn't happen with poweramp, only spotify.
Since we already have a low power sensor chip which can detect nudge, do you think developers will be able to add low power DT2W functionality to this phone?
I feel google mad a major miss by not adding it.
What's the point of DT2W when you have a fingerprint scanner that you litterally just tap and it turns on and unlocks the phone

I have an anecdotal scenario where double-tap would be useful. I prop up my Nexus 6P on a stand on my desk while I work, and when I hear the notification sound it would be nice to just double-tap my screen to see what it is. I don't really want to pick up the device for that. First world problems...but still.
I would really love a way to enable dt2w only when the phone is flat (like on a table) because it's so annoying when my skin somehow activates it through my jeans. I'm guessing this is why they did not include it.. pocket dialing and pocket photos should be a thing of the past but with dt2w it happened a lot.
On the Nexus 6, there was a hidden Double tap to wake feature that was disabled. I'll have to have a further look at the source when it becomes available.
If there isn't one hidden then dt2w can always be ported over from other phones.
It should be noted that dt2w is only useful when combined with software that prevents double tap to wake when the phone is in your pocket and low-power dt2w.
When it is sitting on my desk and i want to wake it up? Don't tell me nudge, cause its ridiculous to have to push my phone around

It can easily be avoided by combining with on body detection and or proximity sensor.

Thats the big Q, is will be low power, in theory you already have the code for nudge.. so if that is not proprietary blob then we would have a look into the low power sensor array..
You know, its the feature where if you wave your hand in front of your phones proximity sensor the screen momentarily lights up so you can check notifications at a glance. It used to be a moto x only thing, but I know there is a form of it available for other phones since my cyanogen s3 is able to do it as well.
It's really the only major feature *outside of chop-for-flashlight gesture* that I would miss from the moto x.
Does the axon have a option to enable it or something like it?
No it does not. A lot of people use apps like Kinetic Screen or Dynamic Notifications, but they don't let the CPU sleep :S I miss that from my many Motos, too.
nope
Hi everybody, i upgraded to the OP5 midnight black from my OP3 with LineageOS and as last year, I'm trying to stay on OxygenOS for as long as possible
Basically I like OOS, but there are some things that just don't make sense to me (those things are not new, but I noticed them when switching back to OOS):
- Dash charge sound: when i plug in the dash charger, i see this lightning animation followed by a sound/jingle. I can't check right now, but I think this only happens when the screen is not unlocked, but also when the phone is on silent/DND mode. At least give us an option to deactivate it.
- Ringer volume to zero: I'm perfectly happy with the stock android volume management. All, DND, and silent - most of the time my phone is in my pocket or in my hands, thus i do not want a ringtone. Sometimes the phone is on my desk and i'm some meters away - that's when i need a ringtone. On LineageOS/Stock Android, i could just raise the ringer volume from zero to the volume i want. On OOS, things are different and I do not like it. Why change it in the first place?
- also i'd like to control the media volume with the volume rocker keys by default (i change ringer volume maybe once a week). this used to be an option in one of the LineageOS / Cyanogenmod versions I think.
- camera disables flash when battery is under 15%. Most of us are grown up people who should be able to decide for themselves if they want to save battery or take a good photo.
- minimum brightness is to high for me and auto brightness is buggy.
- button backlight is too short / only lit after a button is touched.
What do you guys think about these things? Are you annoyed as well or do you think these "features" are legit? If you know of mods/hacks/tricks to fix one of the problems, feel free to share. thanks in advance :good:
Most of these things have already been criticized on the OP3/T and brought to OnePlus' attention months ago.
They didn't listen unfortunately.
Especially the fact that we can't mute our phones with the volume down button is mind-boggling!
Been this way since OOS 3.5 Marshmallow Beta1 on the OP3 and users started complaining. We are at Beta 18 + numerous stable builds later.
I think it speaks for itself.
I'm missing DND mode + vibration because of this.
Also when the device is on the upmost slider position (silent),
it will also silence android wear devices and render them useless for notifications!

I use Lux (on playstore) which completely overrides the built in auto brightness with an easier to control alternative. To use plugins requires root but I am not using plugs on my OP5.

That app got buggy on marshmallow - is it any better in N? Doesn't look like it's been updated in over a year. (Just curious.)

I didn't have any issues with it on AICP Nougat 7.1.2 on a TabS SM-T800. Now on the OP5 (v4.5.4) it works well although occasionally it does not seem to start on a reboot but with so many OTAs so quickly I can't nail when that started. Its also not a consistent issue. Once started it sticks and works as advertised. Lux has been part of every Android device I've owned for a long while now. I really like using the profiles for example one for inside, outside and watching videos (Youtube, Netflx, Plex ...).
