Wake Gestures Work Sometimes - T-Mobile HTC One (M8)

Anyone experiencing poor performance from the double-tap to wake and other wake gestures? Thanks.

I haven't been able to get voice dial to work from say one. Sliding down while the phone is sleep just turns on the screen. Sometimes voice dilaer will show up but that's every 6 or 7 tries. Sometimes the mic will flash and then disappear.
Anyone else??
The key to the others is movement. Without enough movement of the phone prior to double tap it will not wake. Don't know if that's your issue.

Turn off WiFi calling or change setting to cellular service as priority

All of these are supposed to work when you pick it up into your hand.

Correct. I've also noticed if you move the phone while it's laying down, the gestures still work.

I was trying to post about this in a dev form for a rom I was using I had experienced it to be mostly successful. Except when I use a AOSP lock screen in my rom which I am using. (Both Viper and Insert Coin....not sure about GPE). But with AOSP Lockscreen gestures are seemingly not working at all. Am I doing something wrong or has this not been solved yet?

Works all the time for me

[Q] Replacement dialer app?

I love the HTC One but I have one major gripe with the sense 5 phone app. I don't like the tap to answer with incoming phone calls. Coming from a nexus device I loved the swipe to answer. There weren't any accidental phone answers when pulling the phone out of my pocket. Does anyone know of a way to change the incoming call screen to one with a swipe? Via app or setting change. Thanks in advance. I've tried HD caller ID app which works about 25% of the time.
What about swipe dialer?

I think he / she means when the phone is already in use
Maybe I changed something by accident but when I have an incoming call all I have to do is tap answer. There isn't a swipe up or anything. If there was a swipe up that would work as well. Most dialer apps I've found only replace the dialing aspect of the phone and not when it is ringing.

Moved to proper section, please read and respect the rules before posting.
Thanks,
Thanks for the help everyone. I found an app called tiny call confirm that makes me "swipe" to unlock the phone before I can answer. It's not perfect but it'll work for now.

[Q] Always on-voice activation

isnt this the best feature ever, since slice bread, ?
How do I enable this feature
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
thats the thing, noone knows, but we are supposed to have it according to qualcomm
It is in your owners manual. Just saying.
Double press home button.
Hit menu button. Go into settings and turn on voice wake. Will not work with lock screen engaged
NOTE 3
And how does the always on part work? I can get s-voice to work when the phone is off. I can get it to respond when I'm in the app. But it doesn't work when I'm doing anything else. Someone help me get my always on working like yours.

It only always works when screen is off. If screen is on you must double tap home button.

I found this feature out by accident and Ya it's a cool feature but just wished s voice was more accurate. A few times I had to repeat myself and sometimes it won't get what I'm saying at all. So sometimes I'll just tell it to launch voice search since that can pick up what I'm saying much better.

Does motion gestures stop working for anyone else?

I've noticed when I leave my phone idle when going to bed at night and when I wake in the morning that my motion gestures stop working until I unlock the phone a few times with the power button. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this normal or is it a faulty device? I got a screen protector but it's a normal spigen one so I doubt it's that.
Everything work here at least if I don't cover the proximity sensor...
You have to pick the device up. Move it somehow then the motion detectors will work

Oh I see. That's what I do wrong probably. I've always wondered why double tap wasn't working when laying on my desk.
Edit: Well it works but not always. Odd. Thanks though

If it's on your desk naked, rock it gently in either direction, then double tap. It work that way too

I maybe wondered since the phone went into deep sleep maybe it would turn it off to prevent battery usage. I remember picking up device and trying to unlock. I'll try tomorrow again in the morning.

ok waiting for your reply.
That's deep sleep the gestures won't work unless proximity detects movement and if the phone is in deep sleep then sensors are also

Screen vibrates when swiping up from dock! Why?

So I'm using the stock launcher ATM. Have only had the phone since Thursday and past couple days I have. Priced if I swipe up from the dock on a home screen it vibrates. Why is this? Seems like there is something it should trigger like a gesture? Thanks.

It seems to happen when you tap the app drawer at very top.

Just attempted this out of curiosity, I get 1 vibration from selecting the app drawer and a second vibration after swiping up and removing my finger from the screen.
If I leave my finger on the screen and wait for the second vibration, I get the personalize menu pop up.

Tried that no personalized menu for the home screens for me. Just thought it was odd. Then realised nothing happened after doing it lol. Cheers.

Stop auto screen wake?

Can't seem to figure it out. Sometimes when I pick up the phone the screen automatically turns on to a black screen with htc lock screen widget (not the one wen you manually wake the phone) and it bothers me. Where can I go to to disable this?
Thanks

It was ambient display. Thanks
