I wonder if it is hardware based that the movement sensor is not working while the screen is off.
There are useful apps like "sleeping monitors" who record the movement behaviour in the bed ( to wake you up in an optimum phase)
The Apps although report that it is not working due to sensor is not available while screen is turned off (
Or is there a way to tweak it?
Try setting the screen to stay awake whilst the phone is charging. I think its a setting in the applications part of the settings menu.

He wants to use it, for an app that determines the optimal time to wake someone up by their body movements. Which kind of implies that he has the phone on himself and i guess charging while the phone is on you is not convenient, especially if you are trying to sleep.
The phone lies beside U and the screen should be off. A problem in the Basis I guess
There is any solution?

Bump.
Was using the "Stay awake" development option a viable workaround in the end?
Not quite.
Its only a workaround to leave the phone on the cord while sleeping.
So I suppose there should be an alteration made by HTC!
Hi guys,
Did any body nanaged go get this function working. Even though the appropriate setting is ticked I can't get the the phone light up when switched off!

I hope ur not turning the phone off while testing this function. .. The screen had to be locked. ..
Anyway. .. You have to swipe your hand over the light sensor while screen is off

Place the phone on flat surface after locking it.
Now swipe your hand over your phone screen from top to bottom without touching the screen.

Just hover your hands over the light sensor, but you have to do it kind of slowly and also it response at least 1s after you have hovered your hand over your phone. It's not really that useful of a function, more of a gimmick.
I do want to ask, do these motion functions really drain the battery a lot? As this means the motion sensor is always on.

Its a cr*p feature -- or at least the implementation is. You need to sort of hover or cup your hand over the sensors and move it away slowly. Then sometimes it 'works', which means if you do it right about a second or two later the screen slowly wakes up and shows some info. All this takes 4-5 seconds, in which time you could have quickly switched the screen on and off anyways in lesser time.
Gimmick, as someone has pointed out above.
Not only your hand, but anything that cover the light sensor.
Try to calibrate the gyroscope

Hi, this is my first post here.
Please try to calibrate your gyroscope
To do this go to Advance settings and calibrate it.
I have question too about this QUICK glance (but actually slow glance)
I like this to use to check the time specially during night.
But it is really not quick when I use mine and my friend sister told me that hers is fast.
Does somebody know how to do it make it fast?
kind of a useless feature IMO. doesn't display much in the quick glance screen. much easier to just press the home key.
Yeah, ur right the home button is faster. But I dont believe this is crap feature, it depends in situation. In my side I use this glance feature during night and wake up to check the time not hurting the eye for glare. And in theater also you can use this to check the time, it is really respectfull if you try not to distract others inside the theater.

I think it's useful for checking the time at night.
I just quickly pass my hand over the front and a second later time is illuminated for a few seconds
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
guys, it works fine. just hover your hand in front of the sensor just in and out just like that all in less than1 second for me. it works everytime perfectly. very convenient. can someone confirm if this drains massive amounts of battery or negligible.
After trying the feature several times -- during which it did not work -- I then went in and did the gyroscope calibration. Then went back in, turned Motion on, and turned Quick Glance on. Now it works.
It was working for me up until last week, now my light sensor and or my proximity sensor seem to have stopped working all together. I am unable to get it to work at all. Is there any way to increase the light sensor sensitivity?
Works fine here.

It works just fine, but my problem is I like to have a screen timeout of 10 minutes, and manually turn my phone off when I want. Half the time I would click it off and set it down, it would immediately wake back up because my hand was over/near the sensor as I set it down.
Works perfect here whatever screen timeout I have set.
Remember that the phone had to be perfectly still and possibly on a level surface for it to work.
Regarding using battery I've read that the n2 has a slower processor dedicated to the motion features do doesn't fire up the main processor when using these features.

This feature is ok, but it's something a lot of people can live without. It'd be more impressive for us if Samsung extended this to other controls in their main apps, such as allowing this gesture when you receive a call. Wave your hand over the phone and it'll automatically pick up the call in speakphone mode. The Pantech Sky Vega had this feature when it launched last year and something like this is super useful if you're working with your hands (getting them dirty).

It works for me to.
It also works for the flip cover. So when I just open the cover the glance appears then swipe the screen to unlock..no hard buttons to push
The question though.
I how can we tell if it does drain the battery.?

Every night, I mute my notifications on my 360, but still when I move (rollover, shift, etc.) my watch screen will turn on, lighting up my room. I've tried darker faces and it helps a bit, but it is still quite bright in a dark room. Is there any app out there that will disable the accelerometer screen on feature of the device? I still need the accelerometer to work at night, just not turn on the screen.

That's weird. My watch is always connected and I usually turn my ambient screen on the device to off when the watch dims on the charger. I never get notifications on the watch when docked / charging and the screen doesn't wake either. Anyone else?
Are you on the latest update?

Ah sorry lol.
Guess it didn't make sense to me that he was leaving it on while sleeping. :silly:
Actually hes using it for sleep tracking and I do as well. I bet the troll doesnt even own a 360.
I'd also like to know if anyone has made something to do what he's asking.
Another cool thing about sleeping with a smartwatch is the ability to have it vibrate to wake you up without disturbing anyone else
What app is being used for sleep tracking?
Huh? Wut?
Do I need to come in and keep the peace?
Knock it off and be civil please.

I'm using Sleep as Android for the sleep tracking with the cloud backup option. it's a 14 day trial, $5 to buy, but well worth it considering the 3rd party integration and features.
Hi guys, am i the only one with this strange behaviour? Phone screen unlocks when in pocket, seems like it is sensitive to the touch of my legs. Can i prevent it from unlocking?
Put the screen facing outwards?
Sent from my ASUS_Z00AD using Tapatalk
Same thing happens to me. They should prevent the screen from waking up when the sensor detects something close to the phone like LG does
Happens to me, I put it facing outwards. It seems to happen when there's a notification and the screen lights up.
Sent from my ASUS_Z00AD using Tapatalk
Same for me, but put the screen facing outward isn't very comfortable in the pocket.
Maybe enabling the sweeptosleep feature instead of double tap to wake is can help to solve the problem, but i don't want do unlock the bootloader.[emoji52]

It's sweeptoSLEEP, not sleeptowake, so it doesn't help.

No, or at least it didn't when I tried it.
You can actually use the proximity sensor to decide if the device will wake or not with doubletap2wake if you're using xposed with GravityBox. So if the sensor detects something's in front it won't wake. But expect some delay to wake your device.
Sent from my ASUS_Z00AD using Tapatalk
I turned off the double tap to wake feature and haven't looked back. It was never cnsistent for me anyway; sometimes I would need 4 or 6 taps altogether, with delays to see if it worked. The button rarely misses.
i had same problem.decided to remove double tap to wake.

This may help, or you could enable a pattern or pin for the lockscreen.

Tryied but it opens the emergency call dialer and send calls... lol
Moreover, type the pattern every time i have to unlock is very annoying.

Completely understand. I've tried taking my phone out of my pocket without any issues (the screen is still black), I also have double tap to wake enabled, but haven't experienced the problem. I'll bring it up with our team.
If i cover the phone sensors with my finger, dttw doesn't work, so it shouldn't work in the pocket. It's proximity sensor related.

I just tested and covering the sensor does in fact stop it on my phone, and yet I'm still getting random wakes in my pocket. I know it's dttw because I feel a short, single vibration, so I don't know what's going on.

I have found that the thickness of the lining of my pants pocket greatly affects whether the phone turns on. If the pants are loose and the phone can bounce aroudn a bit is even more likely. Jeans are never a problem, but my suit pants are always a problem.

Interesting...I'll make sure to note that...note to self: don't go running in suit pants.
I like the ambient display feature even though it's not perfect. My question is, how can I turn it off at night?? I have do not disturb setup but it still flashes.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
Well it only blinks when you get notifications, so possibly if the device was in airplane mode or had the internet connection disabled that wouldn't be a problem.
Tasker or another automation program such as Llama could be used to automate the task each night.
Google needs to tie ambient and LED to do not disturb mode. Only makes sense. Have you checked the roms out? I'd bet one would have this implemented
Yeah I tried a few and couldn't find anything.
