Charging + screen off = 'OK google' works. What if not charging? - Droid RAZR M General

I noticed this earlier today. When the screen is off but the phone is charging, okay google works. Does anyone know if it is possible to make this work when the screen is off even when the phone is not charging?
Sorry for the janky topic title, trying to fit all the relevant information in was not easy

Some phones, like the Moto X, have a special hardware for hotword detection. The Razr M doesn't. So it would be always "on" and drain the battery pretty quickly.
I don't know how to activate it nevertheless though.

You can activate from lock screen on. It's only one button push.

Vibration power

I didn't find much on a search.
Is it possible to increase the power of the vibration motor from a software side.
I don't know if it's just me, but short of holding my phone in my hand, I can rarely every tell when the vibrator is active.
This would be rather helpful. I'm interested.

I use a program call "Smart Vibrator" I got from the Android Market for free. You can customize the pattern to be long or short.
I'll try it out. Thanks neslerrah.

Screen Flicker

Has anyone noticed their GN turn on by itself and turn off? I've notice this happening a few times a day and each time I think it's shutting itself off but its not. Nothing is running or the table wasn't nudged in any way. I can only catch a glimpes of the screen turning off before I notice it. There's also nothing moving or any light to reflect off the screen to make me think its a reflection...
Just wondering if anyone else notice this... I hope it's not all in my head.
Could be an app doing this, are you using: Delayed Lock, Unlock with WiFi, any lockscreen replacement app?
never thought about the delayed lock... That seems likes the easiest answer to this.
Thanks!
Yup, if you are using DelayedLock that is most definitely the problem, and one of the reasons I abandoned the app. That and it doesn't play nice with Juice Defender.

New question - can anyone help?

I just got a new Note 10.1 2014. I haven't yet rooted it though I plan to.
There must be a simple answer to this though I can't find it.* I have three Note 2s, a Note 3, and have been routing phones for many years going back to early HTC Windows phones. But alas I haven't found what must be a self evident to most.
How do I get rid of this persistent constant Samsung advertisement for the Note 10.1 features.* When I go into sleep (by this I mean push the power button briefly -- not power off) or close the lid so the screen goes dark, within a few seconds the screen starts up again with this never ending advertisement that begins with a helicopter flying and then proceeds with video of every feature of the device - at least from Samsung's perspective. So last night I put the device to sleep with a full battery charge and didn't realize the screen was reactivated by this b annoyance and was on all night even though the cover was closed. In the morning the device was off with zero battery.
I don't know if they consider this a screen saver or what but I can't find how to turn it off.
Can someone help?* Thank you very much.

Might be that you have daydream feature and it came with a small demo of the tablet's features. Check under display settings to see if that's the problem.

Thanks, I checked the daydream feature under display setting and it is off. So this is something else. Any other ideas?

It sounds like it's in some type of demo mode. I've never seen what you're describing including the first time I turned it on out-of-the-box. Did you buy it open-box or as a former floor model? You might want to try a hard reset and see if it's still there afterward.
It is using it as a screen saver. Set wallpaper. lock screen - and change/stop it...
Check under device administrators too
I think changing screen saver might have been the way to go and would probably have fixed it (though I don't know). But I did a hard reset and all is now right with the world. Thanks for all of your help guys. I appreciate it

[Q] How do I get the screen to stay on 24/7?

Hello I am switching from a G Watch which had an option Screen Always On which would keep the screen at lowest brightest always.
This Moto 360 is starting to bug me. I just updated to the lollipop update 5.0.1. I turn ambient screen on which says "Warning battery life will suck blah blah". Ok I am find with that don't care but even after turning it on the damn screen turns off all the time. No matter what I do the screen will not stay on.
Please help do I need to return this?
I get that with watchmaker custom dials. Official/bought dials seem OK. I think its a bug in watchmaker.
It's a feature of the moto 360... If you don't like it, return it and get the gwatchR

Smart Lock only working sometimes and sometimes its not there at all

After setting up my smart lock I have noticed it not working sometimes. When this happens if I go into security and smart lock after I put in my pin I just have a blank white screen where the smart lock menu should be. But here is the weird thing. I have tried restarting several times and it does not help. But sometimes it just shows back up on its own and starts working again. Then after a while it's gone again. This is driving me crazy! Anyone got a suggestion?
Thanks,

From what I have read it's a Google services problem people have been having recently. Mine started happening last night but was working fine since I had the phone.

I've been seeing the same thing for the past month or so. Sometimes there Smart Lock menu is blank, sometimes some options are there & other options are missing. I'm hoping that Google gets this straightened out.

Does your smart lock also stop working when the menu isn't there ?
Seems to. I notice it mostly in the car. I have set my Bluetooth FM transmitter as trusted device. So when I get into the car, the transmitter connects turning on Android Auto and I'm greeted with the Android Auto home page. When Smart Lock acts up, I have to touch the finger scanner to unlock phone to see Android Auto home page.

At the moment, half of my Smart Lock options are missing. I'm missing location and devices, the two options I use most.

My menu comes back every now and then but its either all there or all gone.

Glad to see I'm not alone. I was contemplating a factory reset, but I think I'd be wasting time.

this has been annoying me for weeks. it works then it doesn't. it works, then I reboot and it doesn't. then it does.

Guess what.! All options for Smart Lock are baaaaack!
I just wish they would fix this bug & be done. I'm hoping Oreo fixed this and the Android Auto text message bug forever.

Just rebooted the phone because phone was not reliably staying connected to WiFi despite strong wifi signal. Rebooted phone, wifi reconnected with no issue. However, all options for Smart Lock have disappeared again.
Welcome to the Google beta test!

Is anyone in here rooted? I noticed it disappeared only after I had rooted.
Nope. No root here. Simply stock. Only had the phone a few weeks. I don't see a need to root.
It's interesting to see this possibly effect rooted / non rooted phones alike. Definitely a bug on Google's side.
Googling this indicates it's a bug that goes back about a year. I never saw it with my Z Play, only the Force 2. But I believe Z Play is 7.0. The Force 2 is 7.1.1.
How long has 7.1.1 been out?

Don't know how long this will last. But I found out if you go under security> Trust agents and turn off "Smart Lock (Google)" and "Smart Lock (Moto)" Reboot and then go turn them back on everything comes back.

Looking into it on Google groups that seems like the temp fix for a lot of users. Google is supposedly aware of the issue and is working on a fix. It has something to do with their servers. I had this problem with my S8, and Nexus 5X. Not having this problem with my Note 8 and Z2.
