Myo Dialer can now answer calls! Using the Myo armband, simply spread your fingers when you get an incoming call and the app will pick up the call for you.
To do this, it needs two new permissions:
* Disable your screen lock
* Prevent phone from sleeping
These are used by the app to answer incoming calls, when your phone may be locked or asleep. Myo Dialer will not remove your lock screen password or keep your phone constantly awake.
Myo Dialer was built from the idea that mobile devices make more sense with your Myo armband. Simply assign a contact with a gesture combination and you will be able to make calls with a flick of a wrist. There’s no need to even take your phone out of your pocket!
Features
• Send calls with a flick of a wrist without taking out your phone
• Assign up to four favorite contacts to specific gestures
• Ring your Myo armband on incoming calls
• Accept, end or reject calls and toggle the speakerphone/microphone with gestures
• Automatically enable the speakerphone on calls when Myo Dialer is active
Requirements
• Myo armband with 1.1.4 firmware or greater: https://www.thalmic.com/en/myo/
• Phone with Bluetooth Smart (BLE) support
Myo Dialer cannot be used to call emergency services such as 911 due to restrictions in Android. For your safety, please do not rely on this app to call emergency services.
Myo Dialer can send data to Thalmic Labs when it is connected to a Myo armband. For their privacy policy, see: https://thalmic.com/privacy/
