My Motorola Moto Z had a shake shake flashlight feature. Not sure if this was Android or Motorola but it was very useful.

    It’s a Motorola gesture. I don’t have a Motorola anymore, but I think shaking is the best gesture for turning on the flashlight.

    Doesn't it activate when it's in your pants and you are moving about in a rough manner?

    Holding the power button when the screen is off works pretty great and won't ever activate on accident. It is also a default Android feature I believe.

  • No, it has never happened to me. I think the software somehow detected when the phone was in a hand. But when I ran while holding the phone, it sometimes turned on.

    It seems okay.

    I loved that feature. Karate chop for torch, twist for camera, twist again to swap camera to selfie, flip face down for silent...

    One of those things that should be introduced in to mainline Android, but no doubt patents are probably an issue.
