Incremental rollout of OxygenOS 10.0.5 for the OnePlus 7T is being released, but still no pocket mode available...
A little disappointed, this feature for me is a MUST and was available with my trusty 6T!
Now my brand new 7T in my pocket has its own crazy life, sends garbage messages, initiates phone calls, etc. etc.
Hope pocket mode will return soon......
In the meantime, has anyone found an app/solution to mitigate the problem?
TIA

Here too, I miss that option. Fortunately I use a bookcover and have no problems. But if I just use a case, the phone will do crazy things in my pocket

Sometimes I laugh at the garbage that is randomly composed in WhatsApp or the SMS application while the phone is in my pocket, fortunately for now it has not been sent (yet...)
Seriously speaking it is a big drawback, considering that the option was available in the settings of the older 6T; I'm sure it was so in Android 9, if I'm not wrong it disappeared in the first beta of Android 10, but I've sold the phone and cannot confirm...

It's because the phone does not have a real proximity sensor inside. It's only a virtual one. So that sensor cannot be used for pocket Mode.
Perhaps OP finds another way for the pocket Mode.

Do you mean that 6T had it and 7T not? Don't think so, if I'm not wrong I've seen a YouTube video of a 7T disassembled and the proximity sensor was behind the screen just under the front camera...

Wow, thanks for the link!
I'm curious about what kind of sensor was used in the 6T, same hidden feature, but reliable pocket mode...

In the meantime, I've found WaveUp in the Play Store that locks the screen if the proximity sensor is covered, it is free and open source, I give it a try and let you know! Link below:

I use Gravity Screen, have been for a while now on different phones. It has a bunch of settings that you can tweak based on usage. I have it set to turn off the screen using the gravity sensor instead of proximity, triggering when the phone is turned at least 60 degrees upside down. Then just put it in my pocket with the top down. The app works really well and doesn't seem to have much impact on battery.

If those apps from playstore work, then pocketmode should also work if they put this function back in it.

You're perfectly right, and I also hate to load the phone with apps that do what should be available (and were on the previous model) by default!
C'mon Oneplus, give us less models but better support!!!
I've tested the WaveUp App and it doesn't work really good for me.
Any other experience?

Same here, after a while it doesn't work anymore, no matter the settings you choose in battery saving modes...

I set up my own pocket mode using Tasker. When Proximity profile is activated, enter Turn Off task (check Lock and Continue after error). I set it up to turn off after 3 seconds and cancel if NOT proximity profile for false positives. It only works 95% due to the "virtual" proximity sensor but better than nothing.
This used to bother me until I realized it was because I enabled the "double tap to wake" option. If you turn that off, the phone will not wake up in your pocket.
Or as an alternative, you can just turn the phone around in your pocket so that the screen is facing away from your skin

I finally found a worthy app that we can use as pocket fashion. this app also blocks the power button when the sensor is covered !!

Have to use fingerprint lock to avoid this
I was facing similar problems with my 7t without any lock setted up. Phn gets wake up inside pocket, does crazy stuff on its own. Thts y i hav to setup fingerprint lock to avoid this. Otherwise battery life was way better without any locks. I too need any solution for keeping phn in pocket without any screen lock.
I don't quite understand the issue here. There is no pocket mode settings but I have double tap to wake enabled and when the sensor (it's hidden underneath the screen) is covered, DT2W does not work.

This works well on my OP7T on 10.0.8.HD65AA
I just found out that it is actually fingerprint lift to wake (pickup your phone to show) causing the problem.

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

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.?

Search for "IntelliCover" on Google Play. or just click --> https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wyLDEsImNvbS5kcmFnb25uaXMuaW50ZWxsaWNvdmVyIl0.
Works perfectly with my Note 2. No wakelocks whatsoever. And best of all, it's free!
If you're using a dark-colored flip cover, you may want to stick a light-colored sticker on the part of the flip cover that goes against the proximity and light sensors...

Are you noticing much of a battery drain with this? Also, any concern with shortening the life of the proximity sensor since it's always on?
Edit:
The red light always stay on in the sensor? And am I not configuring something right because I have to enter my code every time even tho its set to 30 minutes of inactivity.

Proximity sensor (red light) will always be on because that's how the app detects whether you've closed the case or not.
You have to enter your code every time because although you have it set to 30 minutes of inactivity, when the app detects you've closed the flip case it turns the scree off the same way pressing the power button would, so the phone will block instantly rather than wait the 30 minutes you set it to.
I'm not sure if the setting exists on Samsung based roms, but on cm, in the bit where you elect your lock screen security there's an option for "power button instantly locks" which should prevent this from happening.

Such a setting also exists in Samsung ROMs, but IntelliCover doesn't recognize this setting apparently, or so it seems...

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?

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.

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]

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.

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.
Guys, I found that the proximity sensor often works badly. When I am on call, the display turns off as soon as it gets close to the ear, but then as soon as the call is finished the screen remains closed as if it were still on call and I have to touch the screen to reactivate it like never before? I've already done the test * # 77692 # and the sensor is working. I read somewhere that the S10 also suffered from this problem.

No one will work I think, frustrating, I used gravity screen app for turning on/off the screen via prox sensor, with past devices, but I found that with this note10+ with underscreen sensor it no longer worked, tried some othwr apps without success, my guess is that samsung no longer allows third party apps to make use of this sensor, so I think only their own flipcover case will work

I can recommend the samsung led view case. Its pricey (90 aussie dollars, i got it for $62 on special)
But it does what it says it will, the in-built led panel in the front of the case displays notifications, and you can design your own icon for different apps/contactsvor use one of the 20+ included icons.

Absolutely correct, sorry... I misread your post. If you want double tap to sleep, you need to use nova or lawnchair or another 3rd party launcher. Its really odd that samsung hasn't included it to their launcher.
Thanks for the info!
I made a double tap to sleep gesture with nova
