How to Remap Pixel 4 Motion Sense Gesture

How to Remap Pixel 4 Motion Sense Gesture: Ever since the original Pixel, Google has never cope to match that level of perfection. Pixel series face some issues. Pixel 2 had display issues. On the other hand Pixel 3 had RAM and battery issues, and Pixel 4 has an even smaller battery. The thick forehead will have a lot of sensors thus we will excuse that, perhaps. One of those is a radar sensor and is used for Motion Sense. By default, motion sense doesn’t do much. It can be used to skip silence alarms or music tracks, etc.

Many people dont know that Google has been working on Project Soli for years now. They are trying to develop a tiny radar chip that can sense motion near the phone. It is easy to see why many people consider Motion Sense to be a contrivance. But this is Google, and they’re a software company not a hardware company. I think they have a plan, and it is to continue to improve this radar sensor over time. It’s a classic Google move to throw an incomplete product in the market and if it sticks, make it better over time.
