Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
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.
I was the same when I got off my moto. I missed that feature. I think I still have a muscle memory
I had to use a Huawei for some time, and I never realized how much I rely on the gestures. And how much I hate bloated custom ROMs. You can say about moto as a company whatever you want, their cameras are trash, but the custom ROM is, apart from it containing gapps, perfect.
I remember my old moto. It was a moto g and there was ALWAYS something they cheaped out on, like not putting in an NFC chip or in the case of the Moto G4, not putting in a compass for some reason. Which caused most navigation apps to have a stroke.
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.
I just flicked it with my wrist back and forth once. Just a quick direct shake.
I had one and it worked lol. Surprisingly never went off accidentally as well
Sounds like a literal skill issue to me...
You may have gotten a lemon, I've had the G60s and now Edge 2022 and both work fine
Even my G5S had the features and it worked perfectly. Same with my current Edge 20 ofc.
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 😅
