Do you have a cover on your phone? Maybe it blocks your proximity sensor (which controls this)

Turn off knock on?

Hi guys, does anyone know how to turn off knock on on the G3? Tried looking for it in gestures settings like in the G2 but can't seem to find it. The g3 keeps waking while in my pocket making it feels constantly warm. Anyone else experiencing this? I don't mind just using the button at the back to wake it. The placement for the button is quite comfortable actually.
I'm sorry to hear this is a problem on the g3, I have this problem on the double tap to wake code on my Nexus 5 and so I just turned it off. I know for the galaxy 2, sorry g2, voice dictation, they released firmware fix for this I think

Can you tell me how you did the wake code on the nexus 5?
And to the op, isn't there a setting in the screen gestures section of the phone to turn it off?
You can turn it off in the hidden system settings menu
Dial 3845#*855# to access it.

It is the very last setting in the list, just scroll all the way down to the bottom.
If you have the Korean model replace the 855 with 400
I turned this feature off as it will save battery life too as it needs to keep the screen driver awake happy using the back button.

855 opens my hidden menu. But I still can figure out which option to choose after scrolling down to the bottom. The screen shot shows my menu. Could u let me know which option should I be disabling?

we don't have that functionality by default, it's patched into custom kernels and eats 2-3% battery per hour (another reason I turn it off)
Just so you know, I had issues with Knock On unlocking my phone in my pocket so I turned it upside down and the issue is 100% gone !
I think it's due to the light sensor not being 100% in the dark then the taps on the lap unlocked the phone. When it's upside down the light sensor is kept in the dark
I just can't find that setting... Ive looked everywhere. My phone is rooted with towelroot. Is that the problem?

Is it really the light sensor? I think the proximity sensor would make more sense in this case! Otherwise you wouldn't be able to use the knock on feature in the darkness...
Screen wakes in my pocket whichever way up I put it in and I don't want to have the screen face outwards. This is very annoying and didn't happen on my G2 - The screen is clearly very sensitive. I don't want to turn off knock on and I don't really like knock code.

Same here. Upside up or Upside down makes no difference for me. Display from body away seems to be the only real solution...
Looks like a few of u are experiencing the same problem. I have been facing the screen away from me as a solution but it feels so awkward when I m so used to have the screen face in. And I can't find the hidden settings to turn knock on off. They really hid very well I guess.

dot view case

I have a dot view case for HTC 9+. When I close the case - the screen goes blank - the magnet / sensor seem to work. But the dot view never comes up - I see the black screen only. I tried with a small magnet - same results, tried a few cases - nothing triggers the dot-view. What am I missing?
Thanks,
Does double-tapping the front of the case not do anything? It's meant to turn the screen off when you close it, and only wake when something happens or when you double-tap.
My E9+ with Dot View-Case shows no Reaction.It doesn't turn off the Screen when i close it and doubletap on closed case shows nothing!
I don't know if it's a Hard or Software Problem.My E9+ is a China-Variant(Root,S-Off,Super-CID)with the Europe Firmware 1.45.With the Backup
from BinDroid's Firmware 1.90. I have the same Problem??

Nope - tapping / double-tapping does not do anything.... without the case - tapping works

I hate to ask the obvious, but do you have NFC enabled on the phone?

Yes - I tried with NFC also. BTW - I think my case has only the magnetic cover (didn't see any NFC on the back). Is NFC needed to trigger the dot view -or- the magnet itself triggers it?

Try with a tiny magnet - place it on the left bottom (aligned with the htc logo - but on your left side). If that triggers the screen off - your phone probably is OK.

I honestly don't know for sure what's going on with it, but mine never works without NFC enabled. I've not got it with me to try right now, but I'll have a play and confirm this later. I also never tried with just a magnet but I'll try that later too.
@kanchanray
Thank's for the Tip but my E9+ made nothing with the Magnet on it.I tried it on every inch of the Phone,nothing!My M8 works perfectly with this Test.
Final update - could not make the case to work. Took it to HTC service center - they did a reset, tried on another e9+ and concluded that the case is faulty. They did not have a spare dot view case to demonstrate how it works on my phone - so, it's 50% confirmed in my opinion. Asked for refund from Amazon.
But, I was able to get the dot view to show up with a stronger magnet. So, I wonder of these cheap cases have a weaker magnet and hence the display only goes off but the dot view does not how up? Not sure.

Muteslider on the side?

Hi
i was thinking of getting the oneplus 3 and i was wondering if the hardware mute slider on the side is annoying? i really like the idea of having it but i know why the iphone has the slider go horizontal instead of vertical like the oneplus 3 because im assuming it might slide in the pocket?
so my question is, does anybody have the problem of having the slider unmute or mute the phone while sliding it into the pocket or not?
cheers

no, my mother had me tested...
I find it annoying.
When sliding the phone into my pocket, the slider gets knocked up to silent mode or DND and I miss notifications.
Dont wear leggings like a woman and u wont face any issue like that
never had a problem like that and its safe to say that i never will
Hard to believe that somebody actually managed to slide the switch while sliding the phone into the pocket.
For me, it the slider is hard to slide and it is also not protruding outside the body of the phone. Till now I have not had it activating by itself.
No issues here either. It hard to move by itself

Mi 9 SE OTG - is a mouse working?

Hey,
I broke the screen of my Mi 9 SE, seems the touch and fingerprint is also not working. But the device lives, I can hear messages incomming, charging makes a noise, programmed alarms work fine (but can't be stopped, d'oh).
I would like to guestimate my lockscreen pattern to unlock my phone and get adb + scrcpy back running. But can I connect a mouse via USB-OTG? I tested it on other non Xiaomi Phones, there it works. But I don't hear any noise when I connect the USB OTG with the mouse.
Cheers
Kobi-P
I just tried with my otg and mouse is working normally
But it doesn't make any sound when I connect it
@mauriciotc17 Big thank you for the clarification! Could you tell me if I can click to get the screen on? Do I need to click somewhere on the lower part and "swipe" up to get the unlock pattern? This would help me a lot to do it blindly.
Cheers

Sorry for the late reply, actually yes, you can swipe in any part to get the pattern, but if you dont have the face unlock enabled it can be a little difficult to make the pattern

Ah, ok. Then I did everything correctly, but had no luck in hitting the pattern right. You are right, face unlock would have helped me here. With my new phone I did that now.
Thank you very much for your support!
Cheers
