You can turn this on or off by going to Settings > Call > Auto Answer Call. During incoming calls the One M8 uses its gyroscope and light sensors to identify you’ve picked up your phone and put it up to your ear, automatically answering the phone in the process.

When the person on the other end is hoping you pick up the phone, little do they know that literally picking up the phone is all you need to do to answer the call. The “picking it up” part is important: if it’s laying still and you double tap the screen it will not activate. Whether you’ve got the Dot View Case or not you can always wake your screen by picking it up and double tapping it. Very cool offering by HTC that a lot of people will love. The time, weather, notifications- it even shows incoming calls, the contact name, and allows you to answer without flipping the cover open.

In addition to protecting your phone the HTC Dot View Case will show you a glimpse of your notifications with a simple double tap on the front. It’s one of the most unique cases we’ve seen in ages and more than another gimmick.
