That's not my experience. When I put the phone in my pocket I have to take care of positionning the back against my body otherwise my skin through the jeans trigger pocket calls.
- untog 9y agoI'll believe it. But Apple typically does better than the average Android phone when it comes to hardware sensors, I imagine they'll be able to detect the difference.
- Eupolemos 9y agoOn the M8 it is done really simple: if it is upside-down, it can't wake from tapping. Super simple and fluent in daily life (once you know it).
- soylentcola 9y agoOn the phones I've owned with tap-to-wake, it wasn't a full unlock, just some level of the lock screen being illuminated. With my old Moto X, I could just wave my hand over the phone while it was laying next to me and a minimal version of the lock screen with clock and notifications would show up. On my current phone (Pixel) it does the same with a double tap: clock, notifications, nothing else. The phone doesn't unlock until I use the fingerprint reader or swipe my lock pattern.
