Motorola phones have a feature that allows you to "chop" with your phone twice to turn on/off the flashlight. It sounds super mundane, but it is way more convenient than you can imagine. Especially for me as an athletic trainer when I'm testing pupil response during a concussion evaluation. They also allow you to twist your phone twice to open the camera, but I don't find that as convenient since double tapping the lock button also works.

    That's pretty cool. Did you ever find it activating accidentally?

    No. You have to be pretty deliberate about it. Honestly, its pretty impressive how well tuned it is.

    Just tried it on my razr, had no idea it was a thing but that's not surprising given I don't really set up accessibility features on my phones. You do have to be quite forceful with it, kind of whipping it back once at the end of a swing. Neat.
