    Back tap is pretty sick, I have it set up to trigger my flashlight

    How are the false positives when using your phone and the notification shade? Sometimes I’ll get false positives holding my phone resting against a hard surface and blast whatever’s behind it

      I can’t recall false positives being a huge issue for me, but it’s very late at night so my memory might be foggy.

      I honestly don’t use it a lot because I have a gesture which enables me to swipe down on the home screen to bring down the notifications and I’m just so used to doing that. Personally I have to adjust my grip to use the back tap feature, so it’s slightly inconvenient.

      Having the flashlight on the feature is something that I would like but unfortunately it’s just somewhat embarrassing to walk around with the flashlight turned on and false positives are a problem here.

      With the notification shade false positives don’t really matter.
