Desire Z problems with proximity sensor?

I have a strange problem with my desire z.
If i not have a headset plugged in my smartphone, it reacts to the proximity sensor, and it work as it should.
But if i have a headset plugged in my smartphone, it didn't react to the proximity sensor, and display is ON the whole time
For some reason it ignores the proximity sensor.
For me this is a big bug.
Display don't have to lluminate my pocket during a phone call.
It eats battery juice and one accidentally pressing buttons.
Did someone have the same problem?

It sounds like you have the same problem I do on my G2. (I keep mine in my pocket also, so it is exposed to lots of lint.) Download the app "AndroSensor" from the market to verify that the proximity sensor is or is not detecting any changes. If it isn't, then it probably has debris blocking it. What fixes it for me is to either shoot some compressed air from one of those little cans into the speaker hole towards the left side of the phone (where the proximity sensor is) to clear it out. It might also work to vacuum the speaker hole also.

It is working.
It just doesn't work with a headset plugged in.

I have found a very good app, that firstly fixes the bug, and additionally also checks after the call if phone is in the pocket, and then immediately locks phone and disables screen

Works without Root.

[Q] Always On "OK Google" Hotword detection on phone doesn't co-exist with Moto 360

[Q] Always On "OK Google" Hotword detection on phone doesn't co-exist with Moto 360
Hello,
I've searched high and low for a resolution to this issue but I can't figure it out. I have a nexus 6 on the latest 5.0.1 and the Google search APK that was just released today. I also have the 5.0.2 update for my Moto 360. Here is the issue.
When I turn the "Always On" hotword detection ON on my Nexus 6, when I try to use my Moto 360 to perform an "Ok Google" action when the Nexus' screen is off (or on, it matters not) both devices activate their voice recognition and they cannot process this. The little infuriating spinning icon appears on both the Nexus 6 Screen and the Moto 360 and nothing happens. Both devices are stuck.
Does this happen to anyone else? I really want my 360 to be the active device when its screen is on, and the nexus to be the active device when the 360 screen is off but it seems that this is not possible.
Does anyone else have a problem with this?

I guess as this is a design flaw, everybody suffers from this.
I can only guess, but it didn't occur to the guys doing the design, that the phone on the desk and the watch on your wrist could be a valid scenario. Put the phone in the pocket or anywhere else, and the problem is solved, the answer would be...

Moto 360 2nd gen: remove on screen notifications

So on my old Moto 360 I could prevent notifications from appearing over the watch face. I no longer see that option on Android Wear. Is there a way to remove the notifications from covering the watch face with the 2nd gen Moto 360?

[APP][Moto Display]Activate Moto Display by waving over proximity sensor

Hello everybody.
We all know that Moto Display is very useful and shows incoming notification. In Moto G and E devices, it activates when the phone is moved from its position, or when a flip cover over the phone is opened. However I have heard that in Moto X devices, it activates even if you wave over the proximity sensor.
So I thought of making a small app that does the same. It is on Play Store.
MotoDisplay handwave
This might be helpful to some people like me. Do hit the Thanks button if it helped you.

After the handwave lock is used, you can't unlock the phone with your fingerprint anymore

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That happens when screen is turned off using device administrative mode

Can you please make an app or flashable zip which provides motion detection moto display (which was on moto g4plus 7.0)

Ambient Display still works on Moto Z Play after nougat update?

Hi folks,
after i crashed my Nexus 6 i bought the Moto Z Play. Great mobile with a long lasting battery, i love it.
The only thing is, that i got used to Ambient Display on the Nexus. I read, that it is also possible on the Moto. Just stop and disable the process (called "Moto Info" on the device, German setting, maybe called different in other languages), go to display and enable the option Ambient Display.
But it doesn't work. Screen not goes on after receiving a message. Have i done smth wrong or is it not possible anymore after the update?
Thanks in advance, greetings and have a nice day.
PS: Having stock, locked, unrooted Android 7 on the phone.

Do you have the option "Ambient Display" on your phone? or did you confuse it with "Adaptive Brightness"?
As far as i know, Motorola has phased it out ( or nicely put intergrated with Moto Display) and the method you describe works only on Moto X Play.

Moto Display is the equivalent to Ambient Display. It's in the Moto App. IMO, Moto Display is better than Ambient Display.

Thanks for reply, and sorry for my long taking answer. Had to make a business trip to a neighbour country.
Yes, i've the option "Ambient Display" in the display settings. On MM was it possible to use it like i discribed it. But under nougat I never got it running. Which one is better depends on the own needs. I got used to the Nexus 6 and that it showed the preview of the received message, when the display switched on. With Moto Display I've to hit the icon first with the finger to see the message.

Moto display is working after nougat update.

Was anyone ever able to get stock ambient display (not Moto Active Display) working?

Disabling the Moto Display app enables the ambient display setting but it do not work at all, the screen never lights up when a notification arrives.
Any suggestions? maybe rooting or some xposed thing?
