My screen/display won't wake when I pick up my phone and tap on the screen with my finger in the dark. I have to press the power button to wake it up. Both "Tap to check phone" and "Lift to check phone" are On. Has anyone else seen this problem?
Pocket detection with proximity & light sensors giving you a false positive in the dark
Thanks miravision, do you know any fixes for this? Or this is just what it is...
Having the same thing
Bedtime Mode & DnD deactivate a host of features, like AoD and other sensors. Did you check if those are active whenever you face these issues?
Both are off.
Just saw this in the list of issues fixed in the December update, hopefully this is reason.

I am confused with how "Ambient Display" and "double tap to wake" works
Problem solved. There are settings to configure these under settings --> display. Ambient Display is a LeeDroid-related feature.
I am fairly new to HTC/sense and I am confused with how the "ambient display" and the innate double tap to wake function works. I am currently on LeeDroid rom but I assumed that both the LeeDroid and stock rom share the same function. So far, when i disable "ambient display", my phone will not light up when I get a text. I can't find an option to disable/enable double tap to wake. Here is what happens on my phone (I do not have pattern/password/fingerprint to unlock)
1) phone screen is off --> Double tapping on the phone wakes the screen up. Phone lights up with lockscreen.
2) phone screen is off --> doing a 1 finger swipe up motion on the screen wakes the screen up AND unlock the screen, taking me to the unlocked homescreen.
3) phone screen is off --> finger on fingerprint sensor wakes screen up. Phone lights up with lockscreen.
4) Phone screen is off --> phone just lights up randomly (I didn't even move the phone or change the lighting in the room) with clock in upper screen with a black background. (similar to the screen you get when the screen lights up with a new text notification). Is this the "ambient display" screen?
5) Phone screen is off --> 1 finger swipe down motion on the screen triggers a hint to suggest another wipe down to activate camera
I am very confused as to which of those are part of the "ambient display" function. Why does the phone light up randomly? How do I disable "double tap to wake" or "swipe up to unlock" functions?
Thanks. Any help is appreciated

You should probably ask in the rom thread. You'll get much better advice and more specific to your current setup.
you go to settings/display, gestures & buttons/motion launch gestures then untick everything there
#4 is the Ambient Display feature.
Ambient Display is a LL/MM feature, LeeDroid has enabled it within his ROM (not enabled in stock ROMs).
The rest are Motion Launch gestures and both Motion Launch and Ambient will be found under Settings>Display & Notifications (as 2 different options).
Hello, recently I've found that my device is draining battery at a substantial rate while in my pocket. And after some testing, I found that even while in pocket mode, the phone wakes the screen up upon notification. This is with ambient screen turned on by the way. So when I get a notification, the ambient screen turns on and you're able to interact with the screen. I guess what I'm trying to get to is: shouldn't pocket mode automatically disable the waking of the lock screen?
Thanks for the help

pocket mode disables interaction, not screen waking from what i understand. test it by covering the prox sensor and hitting the lock button on your phone - you'll see it until you uncover the sensor
also not sure why notifications are waking your screen - they never do that for me. what apps are you using? one of them must be turning on the screen, most apps don't do that
I had this problem recently and discovered it was related to the manner in which the phone/case fit in my pocket. With certain walking or sitting movements, the power button was getting pressed, which turned on the screen. It was highly annoying, but only happened once (so far). I twish the power button was much deeper into the case than it is.
Hello guys
I have bought my pixel 3 xl recently
Today i tried to take a picture for my phone and it is locked ( screen off)
I noticed the sensor is always on in the notch
It is infrared sensor
I think it is the proximity sensor
I think this caused a huge battery drain in my phone
Maybe 2% per hour
Do you have the same sensor always on condition ?
Looks like the sensor is always on whenever the ambient display / double tap to check the phone is triggered
I have turned it off and i will monitor battery behavior

You shouldn't have to turn off AOD, and double tap does not use the proximity sensor. AOD is a key feature of the phone and I'm not seeing this. Try setting it back the way it was originally and running in safe mode to rule out a possible errant user app.

Double tap to wake needs proximity sensor to detect if the phone in your pocket
I have disabled AOD and double tap to wake
My battery has improved, also the phone now has less battery drain.
So here is the thing,
Yesterday before going to sleep, tap to ambient display was working without a problem. Today the tap to ambient wakeup doesn't work at all. D2W was always turned off. I didn't install anything and my device is not rooted as well. What could be the problem?
EDIT : Found the solution on OP forums. :laugh:
For anyone facing the same problem.
HERE'S THE FIX:
CULPRIT: Proximity Sensor.
LOCATION: Just below the Front Camera. It you Flash a bright LED light you would see 2 small sensors on the screen it self.
HOW TO: Whenever your Ambient Display stops working-
1. Just turn off the display by pressing the power button once.
2. Now take a bright LED light preferably use another smartphone's LED Flashlight.
3. Just bring the light close to the proximity sensor, the turn on the display by pressing the power button then turn it off. Repeat this 2-3 times.
You will notice that the double tap to wake and raise to wake feature start working again.
Well mine did 3 out of 3 times.
It's basically the issue of the proximity sensor that need recalibration.
I hope someone from the OnePlus team is reading this and does the needful to fix this issue once and for all.
Till then keep trying my LED flashlight method to reactivate the Ambient Display.

Hello mate,
Thx for the reply but as mentioned I have a 7t that doesn't have the proximity sensor anymore?
AOD works but the notifications are not light up the lockscreen when receive them on the lockscreen. With or without AOD enabled.
