Comments on MotoDisplay Handwave for Android

★★★★☆ Umair Mohammed · Oct 1, 2020
Wave lock screen is awesome but when I locked my Motorola device by using wave action after when I want to unlock it then pattern is required why? I can't be used fingerprint scanner and face unlock. Please fix this issue. Thank you!
★★★★★ John Kim · Oct 25, 2018
This app works perfectly for me even after the Oreo update. I got it to work by enabling "Force notification" in the settings. Moto G5S
★★★★☆ eezif jacob · Oct 12, 2018
Great app but it's not working after Oreo update on the Moto G5s plus. Hope you will fix this, and thanks for this great app.
★★☆☆☆ daniel bruce · Feb 13, 2019
Mediocre performance. If I wave my hand horribly slow over sensor, it MAY respond. Most times it's okay. "Most times" is not good enough.
★☆☆☆☆ Hamd Araif Baramy · Apr 25, 2020
It doesn't work on my moto e4. Wave n hold to lock screen works but fingerprint gets disabled
★☆☆☆☆ Scottie A · Sep 19, 2019
App would only turn screen off which is kind of redundant
★★☆☆☆ Kevin Smith · Jul 20, 2021
Damn! Really wanted this to work on Moto Ace; miss my 'wave to wake'. Motorola killing off great features ... Argh! Thanks anyway, Developer. Hope it works for others.

Description by BaltiApps Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
***This app is targeted for select Motorola devices. For all other devices of all other OEMs or for all custom ROMs, this app will work in COMPATIBILITY mode.***
***This app may need Device Administrator permissions.***

[Unsupported Moto devices:
Moto E3 series, M, C, G1, G2 (as they don't have Moto Display)
Moto E4 series is having some problems. This should be fixed from Version 4.0 of the app.
Moto X1 (unknown reason, probably a fault in Moto Display app itself)
Moto X2 and up, Moto Z, Z2 series (they have this functionality inbuilt)
]

This app brings up Moto Display when the device's proximity sensor detects motion while the screen is off. Plus there are some more features.

Extra features:
1) Music control notification - control music volume directly from Moto Display without touching volume rockers
2) Wave-n-hold for screen off - switch off the screen with the proximity sensor based gesture built in the app, no need to use the power button.

[This app doesn't activate Moto Display (or lock screen) while the device is in the pocket]

Interested in translating the app? The strings.xml file is available here:
https://github.com/SayantanRC/MotoDisplayHandwave.git
Please refer to the instructions in README.md file.

Permissions:
Device administrator permission:
Required if "Wave-n-hold for screen off" feature is enabled or screen off widget is used.

Recent changes:
BG video integration! It is an app to play videos in background.
This integration puts a play pause button in media controls for videos played with the above app.
