Works just like the Moto X. And probably a little more customizable. You can choose which apps will use it or which apps can't. Pretty nice.

After using the app for a few days, I found I didn't really like it nor need it, but hopefully it helps you find what you need.


EDIT: I'm actually surprised Motorola hasn't shut this app down. This app eliminates one of Moto X's key features, no?

It doesn't work quite as well as Moto's does. The key point with the Moto X is that if you move the phone it will display the active notifications. So it works a little better IMHO. I tried this on my LG G2 and S4 and it did not function quite as well as when I had the Moto X.

Oh ok I will check it out. I got it for my nexus 4, but for some reason I thought you had to have 4.3. You could be right.

It's actually available for 4.0 and up. :)

Ah, good point.

I'd still think Motorola can't be too thrilled by this app. :eek:

It works really well, but I have noticed a serious decline in battery life from this app.

Also cant you go into setting, and go to personalize and for to lockscreen and select productivity?

Yes, but that only gives you a number of notifications (I think mail, messages and calls) and nothing else.

Unless I'm mistaken. I don't really use that feature either, but yes, there's that built into the One.

Does it? I didn't notice much, nor do I hear reports of it draining battery severely.

Oh well. Like I said, not a big fan of it anyway.

Yea I tried it out one time, and never used it.

Where can you see the screen on time for the HTC One? I know on stock android if is under the battery usage, but on the One all they have is a graph on the power section of the settings.

Do you guys think HTC will update the One to 4.4 too?

If they do they will get huge points to me to buy next year's HTC One refresh.

Ya know what I realized? The 4.3 update for the One is completely bug-free.

I'm not experiencing nor reading nor hearing a peep about bugs with 4.3 on the One. Isn't that not typical?

Kudos to HTC?

Well, I'm not sure if it due to anything on HTC's part or the individual app but ever since the update I can no longer use my banking app to make check deposits. Whatever tweaks HTC made to their camera software now causes photos of checks I'm trying to deposit to be overexposed and unreadable, regardless of the amount of light in the room.

Never had the problem before the update and my banking app hasn't been updated recently, so logic would dictate it was a result of the update.

Ah, I stand corrected then.

And actually, I noticed a lot of my photos are way overexposed too. Scumbag Ultrapixel camera... barely helps in low light; way overexposed in light.

Boy, I hate the HTC One camera, in general.

Whatever update comes, I'm guessing it will mostl likely be that last update that the HTC One ever receives based on how long its taken to get an update to this point.
