Anyone else's notification sensor not working correctly when screen is off. It sometimes flashes on for a second right before I pick up the phone. If I wave my hand over it nothing happens. The ticker is on so I don't know what else could be the problem.

I found out it was because developer mode was on. Oh well, back to having animations.
Thanks for this...I was having the same problem. I turned off Developer options and it started working...then I turned off the Moto Display and re-enabled the developer options. I would rather have a faster device than Moto Display.

Wow thanks! I thought i had a problem with my Moto Z Play, as the notification sensor wasn't working anymore, and it was just flashing as I waved my hand above it, and I didn't realized it was because I activated developer mode! It's a cool feature, but I'm still not going to activate the animations back again, just to have the Moto Display, I'm still on board for a faster device. =)

It was actually because I had animations on 0. I changed it to .5 and the display still works. I can live with that!?

Just found a topic here in the forum explaining that you don't need to give up the Developer Options to have back the Moto Display =)
@ladera gave a great solution in a simliar thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/help/moto-display-approach-issue-t3474414

Do you have the Animator Duration setting in Developer Options set to 0? I think it needs to be at .5 or higher as it governs the duration of the Moto Display appearance time.

I just did this and you can leave Window animation scale and Transition animation scale at zero, and Animator duration scale in .5x and your Moto Display will be back =)
I don't think that Animation duration scale at .5x and all the rest of the animations at zero will drain more battery or lag the phone at all. It's a minor adjustment that brings back a useful functionality =)
I got a MotoZ play today, and I've an similar issue.. I left my phone over a table, but the moto display just flashes from time on time, even when there is no interaction.
Any idea or suggstion??
Developer options are turned off.
Sorry if this is not the right place to ask, but well, I don't wanna open another thread for a similar issue
It happens to me too i have turned everything to. 5 and it keeps flashing from time to time

So i don't know if this is because I just got a replacement device, but I put it on the charger and it's turning the screen off itself without going into the settings. I don't know if this is because it's saying "charge your battery" to update, but I'm not doing anything with ambient settings

Mine came with the new update already on it and did the same thing. Search for how to enable developer mode and there is a toggle there to turn it on or off.
I'm all updated, but the option in developer mode doesn't work for me. I have to manually turn it off in Wear App every night.

Same here.
I would reset your watch and resync it with your phone again. Give that a try.
Yeah, it's gone now have to do the settings again. Fyi, I was happy about this not mad. It must have been asking for the update that made it do this
It appears that enabling developer options somehow disables the screen off while charging option. The strange thing is that although the developer option menu has a toggle for this, it actually does not work.
With the latest S/W rev (4.4W.1) I can turn the screen off in the charger the same way I turn it off on my wrist - placing my palm on the screen momentarily turns it off. (This is with developer options enabled but no changes to the settings.)
Easy Peasy!
Edit: And apparently the result of S/W not operating as designed. My 360 dropped the connection to my phone recently so I restarted it. Since then the screen remains on during charging regardless of what I do.
Can't find another question like this one... so here goes:
Just got a Moto 360 for 149.99 USD and its great so far.
Did that force update to 5.1.1, this one worked for me: https://www.reddit.com/r/moto360/comments/3ahj1l/a_surefire_way_to_force_the_511_update/
Now I look into turning off the screen when its charging, only to run into a very strange issue...
In the developer options, which you can enable using 10 taps on the build number in about, there are two options:
1) stay awake while charging
2) burn-in protection
Burn-in protection will NOT save the check when your restart, so in essence, is useless.
However I found that using stay awake while charging DOES indeed turn off the screen, but here's the catch: you have to set it to ENABLED.
Don't believe I have ever seen a setting on android that required it to be on, to be off...
But hey, it does work, on mine at least.
Also the whole "just hit the button to make the screen go off" ONLY works in Theater Mode! And I personally dont like pushing a button to check the time.
If Theater Mode is off, it will just brighten the screen for around 2 seconds, then dim again.
Here's my question, what does that burn-in protection do anyways? Just pixel shift over time? Why can't it be enabled?
Hope this helps some people!
that setting does nothing for me
the screen stays awake regardless of ENABLED or DISABLED
funny how motorola hasn't fixed this yet
just put watch in "Theater mode" before charging
and it would switch the screen off on charger too

It started on mine, in the dock. Every few minutes everything on the display jumps in size from small to large and vice visa
The staying awake feature is backwards. Crazy

I restarted mine after setting to enabled, also ambient / theater mode are both off.
Hi,
as ShadowVlican wrote: just enable the theater mode to switch the screen off during charging. It is also important, the you undo any changes you did in the developer menu ("stay awake while charging" and the "burn in protection" as well).

Yeah, no. My screen turns off for 10 seconds then just becomes dim black with backlight again.
Is there no damn working solution?!
So, I don't use Ambient Screen, but ever since the update to Marshmallow I got yesterday, i've noticed whenever I check my watch and the screen turns on for a split second it has the ambient screen look. Whatever notification i've got shows in the black outlined kind of look it does, and my dial is in its ambient screen mode phase. It's only a split second or so, before it flicks to normal. But it's never been like this before marshmallow, and it's a little annoying to see it flick between the ambient to the normal. Especially since I have ambient off.

Mine does the same thing. Also, the minute hand suddenly jumps when it updates to the correct time.
Same here. I don't like it. It's barely a 10th of a second, but its annoying. Changing watch faces does not fix it.
Mine does the same annoyin thing...
Whether could anyone attached clip that we all still do not update, see what the problem is?

Same here on my moto 360 1st gen, it shows the ambient screen for a split second before the normal watch face, this is annoying, I tried changing the watch face, turning on and off the ambien screen, etc. Nothing helps
Same with Moto 360 2015.... I guess it has to do with the DOZE mode in Marshmallow..
Try to set all elements value "Display" to Always in Watchmaker + remove all elements, that appear in Dim mode. Takes some time, but should be working.
Any news?
Same here in Italy... Very annoying

I've created an app that wakes ambient display when you take the phone out of your pocket or if you have the phone face down and turn it over. The app is in addition to Google's ambient display and does not change your lock screen in anyway.
I added a few other paid features for lift to unlock, wave to unlock, pulsing at an interval, and battery percentage display on the ambient display.
I have a thread going on the Pixel XL forums and a number of people have been testing it out. I think it's stable enough to start spreading the word.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions or run into any problems. Thank you!

Edit: found it in play store. Went ahead and got pro for lift to wake.

Thank you! I fixed the link...cut and paste truncated the link.
I'm testing it since four days and can absolutely recommend it.
No battery drain here at all. Proper functionality and even more options with every new version.
Keep up the great work.
Edit: do you have PayPal? I'm gonna hook you up with a beer.

Haha, thank you. The app support is more than enough thanks!
Just bought the pro version. Coming from a note 7 and missing that ambient display, this great app will do.
Looks great.
Thank you very much sir
Trying it on a Nexus 6p. So far i'm loving it.
Bought pro, thanks!
So I've done some limited testing with the app white listed from doze and so far it improves the responsiveness significantly. I don't know the battery impacts yet, but if it's not noticeable I'll add code to prompt users to white list it.
Other upcoming changes:
Advanced settings to adjust wait times for how long the phone has to be in your pocket or laying flat before a wake can occur.
A pulse option that initially pulses faster when a notification comes in, and progressively shows down until the timeout.
Possibly change in lock screen battery indicator appearance.
Filter on laying flat thresholds. I suspect the accelerometer incorrectly reports the phone tilted while it is laying flat on occasion.
Just bought the Pro version, thanks for the nice app.
Unfortunately the ambient display doesn't light up on my Pixel if the phone is unlocked, e.g. by SmartLock. Typically, I have the phone lying next to me on the desk at work or at home und the phone is unlocked by location based SmartLock. This is where I would like to see incoming notifications without touching the phone. Do you think this is possible to implement?

Doesn't work for me.
More important (maybe only for me): the screen doesn't light up without interaction if the phone is unlocked by smartlock. That's the same behavior as with the ROM build in ambient display feature. It only lights up the screen when the phone is locked.
Thanks a lot for looking into that. This would overcome the disappointing original Google ambient display implementation!
If i can help somehow (testing,...) please let me know.

Tested again..
Ambi-turner enabled.
In display settings
Ambient display : on
Display timeout : 15sec
Security settings:
Pin lock screen after 10min
On/off button locks immediately
(I'm not on an English version, hope the translations are understandable)
The phone is in an area where is unlocked by location based smartlock.
Test 1: wait for 15sec until the screen switches off, wait another minute, send me an WhatsApp from 2nd phone: i hear the notification sound, screen doesn't turn on. If i turn on the display using the on/off button i am on the home screen.
Test 2: switch off the screen by on\off button, (i can hear the lockscreen notification) and send me a WhatsApp from another phone. I hear the notification sound, screen turns on and shows the message. If i turn on the phone by on/off button I'm on the lock screen.
Pixel, version NDE63H
Just bought pro - nice job!
I' ve just tested it on my Nexus 5 with PureNexus 6.0.1 rom. PN has ambient display function in settings but it doesn't work because Nexus 5 doesn't have pick up sensors or pocket sensors. Therefore I've been looking for some solution how to wake it, for example cmactions-wave to wake or similar. For the previous period I've been using GravityBox but it's battery hungry.
I see now that ambi-turner works also, so testing it ATM...

Thank you. I'm posting an update soon. I'm testing a new mechanism that is waking the screen up much more reliably than the current version.
Hey Guys,
So something very annoying I've noticed so far since owning this phone. I could have it laying on the table/counter, whatever. I have lift to wake and any other motion related setting to turn the screen on disabled, however, if I so much as nudge my phone while it's sitting the screen will always wake. Does this happen to anyone else? Is there some other hidden setting I've yet to disable and need to? Is it a glitch or something? Appreciate any ideas or suggestions.
Thanks!
You are not the only one observing this behavior. I believe it's a software glitch. It's has been mentioned on other forums as well.
I don't think it's a glitch. People have said the "fix" is to turn off fingerprint option. So I'm thinking it's actually a feature to turn on the screen so it's ready for your finger print. It's different than lift to wake because it only shows the Always On Display. Lift to wake, goes past the Always On Display and to the lock screen. I've tested it in my pocket and it's stays fully off.

It's a feature not a bug
There is doze_quick_pickup_gesture option that you can set via adb. Just setup adb shell (google how to do it if you don't have it), then enable developer options on your phone (google it too), then connect your phone to your PC and execute this command in the shell:
shell settings put secure doze_quick_pickup_gesture 0

Yes i think its a bug when adaptive sound is on and it hears loud sounds, ot turns the screen on. Just try banging the desk or hitting two spoons when near your phone with adaptive sound on and off... The screen lights up when its ON bit doesn't when its off
I am having just the opposite effect. I lift my phone and nothing happens. I have to click my power button for it to go on sometimes.
If you refer to Lift to check BLACK SCREEN It is a feature for easy to use fingerprint so that very helpful for me
