Perhaps the new Sensor Hub makes this possible for more than just Moto phones?

Wow! Idk why I'm so happy, but I am. One of the hugest things I missed from my Moto X when I switched to my N6 was that feature. I'm liking the 6P more and more everyday.

That's cool. I wonder why they didn't mention that in the presentation.

the power button twice, is that already a nexus thing?

Good news. Now I just need to find a good driving mode app that will automatically detect you're driving since Moto is possibly getting rid of it w/ the Marshmallow update. I'm sure there's some out there.

I haven't tried it yet but everytime I ask on Google+, someone recommends Agent.

With my hand size I don't find the gestures convenient on a phone of this size. I'm using a moto X PE at the moment but I don't use the double twist or the double chop because I feel like I'll throw my phone.

The idea of a double tap opening the camera sounds convenient, but I'm just wondering if I'll be launching the camera accidentally all the time.

[UPDATE: The feature to launch the camera via double-twist of the device was replaced by double tap of the power key. The name Context Core has been changed to Android Sensor Hub.]

Never heard of that one but reading it, I think that'll be what I'm looking for. I was doing quick browses to find something that basically read that I connected to my car bluetooth and automatically launch the app. I have Tasker that could do it but I would like it to be native. THis looks solid.

Thanks, sir!

That's disappointed they dropped the feature. Guess I'll be utilizing double tap of the power button instead.
