Do's and don'ts with Edge Sense
To enjoy the many benefits of Edge Sense, here are a few things to keep in mind when you're using
it:
§ For the short squeeze and squeeze and hold gestures, set different squeeze force levels to
accurately trigger the right action or app.
§ Avoid using both your left and right hands when squeezing or double-tapping since your
hands have different strength. Things may not work as you wish if you use them
interchangeably.
§ Recalibrate the squeeze force level and double-tap sensitivity level when:
§ You want to change and use your other hand for these gestures.
§ You experience mistrigger of apps or actions.
Follow the steps in
gesture
on page 44 to recalibrate.
§ Force exerted on the sides, front panel, or back panel of the phone may mistrigger
Edge Sense. For instance, a squeeze gesture may be mistriggered when the phone is:
§ Mounted in a car kit
§ Inserted in a selfie stick
§ Pressed hard on the front or back panel by your hand or an object
If this happens, turn off Edge Sense while it's not in use. See
page 46.
§ Squeeze gestures can work even when the screen is off, except when capturing screenshots or
performing in-app action which need the screen to be on.
§ Use Google Play Music and third-party music apps that follow the Android music control
standard. These are supported by Edge Sense.
