Motion Launch

Waking up the phone with Motion Launch

When the screen is off and HTC One is in sleep mode, use Motion Launch to wake up
and unlock your phone directly to an app or screen. Motion Launch is a combination
of a motion gesture, which is to lift the phone, followed by a finger gesture.

If you've set up a screen lock with credentials, you'll be asked to provide your
credentials first before HTC One unlocks to the relevant app or screen.

Wake up the phone

1. Lift the phone in

portrait orientation.

2. Immediately double-

tap the screen.

Make sure you're not
touching the screen when
the phone vibrates.
