Quite obvious bug, and a lot of people have had this bug.
For anyone asking what it is: Swipe up from home screen. That's the shortcut for google now, by default. However, after some time, the gesture doesn't work. Aditionally, I've changed the recent key to toggle torch when long-pressed. However, that doesn't work either if the swipe up doesn't work.
Anyone found a fix for this bug? Strangely, this bug has been appearing in both 4.3 v1(15.4.A.0.23) and v2(15.4.A.1.9).
BTW, I posted this in Q&A and it appearing in general. Mods please move. Also, there is no clear delete button.
Still no one able to fix this issue?
Hi,
I've had my M9 for a couple of weeks now, and slowly getting it to work how I want it to. One thing nagging me is this weird issue I have with waking the device from sleep.
I have tried to disable all the gesture/smart wake features (double tap the screen, etc). The issue I'm having seems to relate to the light and/or proximity sensor. It seems (and I haven't been able to find any info on this, online or on the phone) that there is a feature which will enable the device to wake up when being picked up or taken out of my pocket. This doesn't always work, but sometimes it does. When I pull my phone from my pocket, it will sometimes wake up. When I glide my finger over the front camera & light sensor, it will sometimes wake up. This is a minor annoyance, as I would like to only be able to wake my device by hitting the power button.
It gets really annoying when these 'gesture' wakes start to interfere with the power button wake. For example (and this is happening more often than not), when I pull my phone out of my pocket, the phone is off, then I hit the power button once, and the phone still doesn't wake. Hitting the power button a second time will wake the device. It seems to me that the smart waking is some how interfering with the manual waking.
Is anyone else seeing this behavior?
Any suggestions for a solution?
Thanks a lot for any help.
This is really odd considering the M9 doesn't support air gestures. Sorry, I have no solution, but is it possible you may have installed an app that may be causing this?
I would think two button push would be the normal, otherwise you could accidentally hit it once and turn the screen on. Do you have Ambient display and pocket detection all turned off ?
Gravity Screen in the play store gives you total control of all that stuff
That for the replies guys.
Clsa, there is no way to disable ambient display & pocket detect because those features do not exist on the M9 (at least... Not that I have found). That's what is bugging me.
I don't think the 2 button press is normal. I've never had to do it on previous phones.
Fernand - not sure if it is another app causing it. I think I have no extra apps installed compared to my last phone.
I just tried Gravity Screen, and it seems to just give me the ability to enable all the features I want to disable.
Any other suggestions?

Settings / Display & Gestures / Ambient display (Wake screen when device is picked up or notifications arrive)
Pocket Detection is part of some Rom Tweaks (insertcoin & viperOne if i remember right)
Hi again, that option is not available on my phone. Do you see it on your M9?
I don't have a custom ROM. Not rooted either.

Yes I have it, but I'm on LeeDroid right now. He adds so much stuff i forget whats "custom" and whats stock
Got the same issue
The power button will ignore the first push while standing by for a long time. Thought it might be caused by apps like greentify?
Hi Ducati, is that a fact or is that just how you understand it? Seems strange that that would be intentional. But it definitely seems to be the case.
I do not have greenify installed either.
Do you get similar behaviour on your One?
After a bit more testing. I can confirm that there are some sort of air gestures on this device. I can wave my finger in front of the front light sensor/camera, and the device will wake.
This doesn't happen all the time, I am not always able to reproduce this. But right now, it is happening. Can anyone else reproduce this?

I have the same issue on my M9. Glad I found this thread. Thought my power button was defective.
I can't activate any gestures by waving my hand.
I think it's happening mostly when waking from deep sleep.
I know it's an old thread, but I just installed CyanogenMod 12.1 and I guess my google-fu is rusty. I find that if I hit the power button in quick succession (double click) it turns off the phone. Anyone know how I can stop this?
By quick succession I mean multiple times within 20 seconds
I have run into a strange behaviour with my Z2.
I've now tried 2 cleanly flashed ROMs (AICP and RR) and with both I get the exact same issues:
Every now and then U-touch functions seem to reset to some predefined actions without the settings itself being changed nor is the keylayout file changed:
Tap is back, press does nothing, double press opens camera, swipe left does nothing, swipe right opens menu. Screen rotation stops working as well and advanced reboot options are gone as well. There might be other issues as well but when ever I run into the previously mentioned issues I just restart the phone and all settings are back to normal.
What could be causing this? It does not seem to be a hardware issue per se, as I would imagine the touch button would to stop responding altogether. Now it just resets to some weird predefined actions.
Could this be about the baseband ppl seem to be mentioning everynow and then?
I've attached screenshot of my baseband.
This has something to do with the "system profiles". I have been using them once I understood how handy they are.
I just got the bug again when my profile changed from "default" to "home". I changed back to default and disabled the whole profile system and my screen started to rotate and u-touch actions returned to those that I have set.
Is this "system profiles" thingy a CM/LOS feature? Where should I nag about this?
This is indeed a LOS14 issue.
Faster workaround than rebooting is to switch wifi off ( or what ever is the trigger u got) and lock and unlock the phone one time normally and then activate wifi to enable "home" profile again.
Every once in awhile, my notifications pull-down won't pull down.
If I lock the phone, then unlock it, the pull-down starts working again.
It's been like this through multiple clean OS re-installs.
Am on Magisk 17.3.
I've had more software bugs on the PXL3 than any other phone before, including the PXL1.
I have the same damn problem. It just doesn't work all the time. I also had the issue of bright white screen on double tap to wake. So, I called Google Support for this, and the guy on the other said made me clear the cache of the phone app, force stop it, turn the phone off for 2 mins and then restart for both issues. I even asked him how this relates to the fingerprint sensor not detecting, he replied some stuff that, phone app controls the vibration and the display waking up.
Of course both problems does not occur for me frequently, so after that procedure I did not encounter the white screen problem, but fingerprint gestures were still kinda hit and miss. Although they work pretty good now, less miss count. For me they work when I swipe just the edge of index finger lightly, also if finger is very dry, it doesn't detect.
I tried the pulldown five times while this logcat was running.
I'm on Nova Launcher but think it happened on stock launcher too.
If you are using quick Switch be prepared to have issues after updating. I updated and could not use any gestures other than back. With button navigation the home button worked but not the recent apps menu. Once I removed the quick switch module everything started to work again. By the way I was probably using an older version of quick switch. However, I've looked through the changelog and there doesn't seem to be anything related to 12L in there.
