​If your phone always unlocked in your pocket, Pocket Screen Lock - this is what you need.
The application will automatically block all unwanted taps of the screen. Enjoy using.
The program is easy to use and intuitive, and for any user.
Simply select where you want to block your phone and activate services.
We recommend to disable the program for the night, as it can reduce the charge of your battery.
In the future, the program will be several additional features such as support for additional sensors and sleep mode.
I am developer, so I will be glad for the help with updates and correction of translation.

For my phone running 4.3.1 works only when set to "Always" which is proximity on, but on "While phone is locked" doesn't work (proximity remains off).

Pocket Lock Pro Thank you
I haven't used your app long & it has worked great so far. Is there a way to configure the app so it only works once it's off my home wi-fi system & I'm down the road using the 4G network? I know I can turn it off & on, at my age I tend to forget the small things.

[Q] Modifying Motion Gestures

I use double tap to wake almost exclusively to turn my screen on, but I find some of the other HTC motion gestures annoying or problematic. For example, I have pulled my phone out of my pocket, while accidentally holding a volume button, and the camera app opened. This is generally an annoyance, but I have had this occur in a dark room followed by blinding everyone near me with the flash. I'm using ViperOneM8 at the moment, but didn't see an option to selectively enable these gesture controls.
Under display and gestures in settings.

I'm sorry I wasn't more clear. I want to disable to landscape+volume to turn on camera, but I want to keep double tap to wake. I don't see any option to do that.

Completely agree with you; I find myself triggering voice calls more frequently than I'd like. Unfortunately, the current ROM only permits "all" or none with the motion gestures (hopefully they'll fix that if enough folks complain).

I believe that option is in the camera app settings.

That setting only affects the volume button function while the screen is already on.
It is a all or none approach as a previous poster stated as far as I can tell. Can wait until the devs figure out how to mod that.

I see the Reminder app is a system app .
( so its not just a matter of coping apk from
one phone to another unless you have root )
Did you do all the Bixby updates .Did you disable anything
did you check if both phones, versions of Bixby .( if the same)
I am currently on Bixby v 1.9.26
Check your .... phone/settings /apps and see if it's listed in both phone .
Thanks guys. Yep its something to do with bixby never been used on my other phone
