Secure lock screen and moto x features - Moto X Q&A

I'm thinking of getting a moto x on Monday to replace my aging galaxy nexus on Verizon (and still keep my unlimited data for a while longer). Can someone describe how features like active notifications and the always on hotword detection work when using pattern/pin lock? Can you still view the active notifications and just enter your pattern/pin when swiping to go directly to the notification? Thanks.

Yes on the active notifications bit. They work like normal but still require a pattern after you swipe. I have barely used the hotword, but it does seem to work just fine.

When using the pin/password lock, accessing the touchless control is still available but to get the results, you have unlock the device.

I just wanted to know if there is a way to get the Google now touchless control and the active notifications on the lock screen on the nexus 7.

Use this app for Active Notifications, Check this Video for Active Voice..
It's probably possible but
1. N7 doesn't have the dedicated core to listening for a key term
2. It doesn't have an AMOLED display.
Which means, if someone gets it functioning here, don't expect good battery life.

I did some research and found that if you use the Tasker app along with the AutoVoice app you can create a continuouse recognise task and create a phrase that triggers tasker to execute a task you have pre-selected. A good feature is that the app is listening for that phrase even when the screen is turned off. That is very similar to the Moto X.
Obviously this will use more battery that the Moto X because the Moto X has a CPU Core dedicated to language recognition, etc.
There is also a youtube video demonstrating the use of these apps

[Q] [F340K] How to activate Knock Code

Hi,
I see the Knock Code feature working on a Flex in this video: w ww.lowyat.net/tag/lg-g-flex-knock-code-demo When I went to activate it in my Flex F340K Korean version, this feature is missing. Anybody knows how can I activate it?, maybe in a hidden menu or something?.
Thank you!.

Sorry but I still not found the option, I don't wNt to activate the double tap for lock and unlock the screen. I'm searching for knock code unlock, with this option you must push the screen in some zone like a pattern to unlock. As seen in the video linked in my first post.
Maybe is a future option that will be included in a firmware update?.
WTF !! we don't have that man...but looks very cool

After research about knock Code the video appears to be a preview of a next comming enhacement, the knock code feature is available now in G2 mini and will be added with a firmware update in some models like Flex,G2,G2 pro.... No ETA yet.
Appears to be a very cool option.

I think that phone will be locked but when you lock your phone with a pattern or code you must activate the screen and then insert the code or pattern to unlock. with Knock code you will insert a push pattern with the screen off and will activate screen and unlock phone in a single step.

Pocket dialing

I am accidentally calling people from my contacts while phone is in my pocket... I believe that the culprit is the dialer icon on the lock screen... Any suggestions

I actually use a pin security code along with smart lock and that seems to have fixed it...

[Q] [XT1053] Moto Skip Dots no longer work after update to Lollipop?

Hello!
I have a few Moto Skip NFC stickers that unlock the phone when tapped. These worked great in KitKat, but now in Lollipop, no longer work. They just say "NFC Tag collected" with the ID of the tag. Has anyone else had this experience?

"OK Google" from any screen not working

Hi,
I have enabled the "ok Google" hotword detection from any screen in the Google settings app. However, when I am on another screen and say the hotword, Google Now fails to start. How do I fix this issue?
Thank you!

Moto Voice or Touchless Control ON?
No they are not on. How do I disable touchless controls? I have Android lollipop (5.1) on my Moto X 2014, so I'm pretty sure that name doesn't exist anymore.

1. Wrong forum
2. Use touch less controls and choose the phrase "okay, Google" or anything instead of trying to use Google. It'll save the headache.
Edit: I believe it's called moto voice now.
