Hey, I was wondering if there was a way to disable the in call proximity sensor on my Moto Cliq so that the screen will only turn on/off with the hardware button, any suggestions?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I can't think of any sucjh options on my droid, but I have to wonder why you would want the phone to be near your face? Just going to get random dialing, I was in love with the fact the Cliq had that.... until I got my Droid
bump????????????

I am unable to pull down the notification bar while on a call using my Bluetooth headset. When my finger gets near the top of the screen, it trips the proximity sensor and blanks the screen. I'm not sure if this is a design flaw or something that I can fix. There are MANY times that I want to use my phone while I am talking to someone and it seems stupid to me that I cannot interact with notifications while I'm on the phone. Anyone else experience this issue and/or have any suggestions? Thanks!
Swipe down starting at the htc logo or just to the right of the center. The proximity and light sensors are just left of center.
This works, just tried it.

No fix yet I'm afraid I'm sure the developers here will figure something out though...
Thanks so much for the information guys. Glad to see this has already been brought to Sprint's attention. Hopefully they will get a fix pushed out soon.
Hi,
is there an option for android-HD2s to disable the proximity sensor? I'm sick of the behavior of my device that the screen doesn't turn on again after making a phone call, taking out battery isn't a very useful option...
I already tried the Recalibrator for the sensor (originally for DesireHD), it worked for a few days but now again i've got the problem...
Therefore i'd rather have the screen turned on during the phone call, than having a blocked phone after the call..,
Do you know a solution?

hi, I guess you are using Desire HD rom. If is so I fully understand you. Those build s avery big and laggy. After trying many,many rom s Iwent to this one>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931126
The screen turns on , everything work s fine. And it is crazy fast. Believe me, you will love android after this.
the best DHD Rom is Core Droid, in 1.3 the sensor was good, but in the actual 1.4 its bad again, try it when the next version is out. its very fast and nice skinned, also always good updates like the controls widget in the notifications bar.
Are we talking about the rom for hd2??is there anyone who can help us on the same problem?
I do this that way http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16008095&postcount=4
You know, its the feature where if you wave your hand in front of your phones proximity sensor the screen momentarily lights up so you can check notifications at a glance. It used to be a moto x only thing, but I know there is a form of it available for other phones since my cyanogen s3 is able to do it as well.
It's really the only major feature *outside of chop-for-flashlight gesture* that I would miss from the moto x.
Does the axon have a option to enable it or something like it?
No it does not. A lot of people use apps like Kinetic Screen or Dynamic Notifications, but they don't let the CPU sleep :S I miss that from my many Motos, too.
nope
Just got a G5 Plus yesterday.
When the phone is at rest, if the surface moves or I pick it up without touching the finger print sensor or the power button, the clock/battery/date appears very dimly on the screen and disappears after a few seconds. Is there a way to turn this feature off? I have searched for ways to turn it off but haven't found a way yet.
I'm worried that when I work out with the phone in my pocket, the motion will wake up the phone and the sweat/heat will accidentally call 911 or something even though I haven't pressed any buttons.
Thanks
It's called Moto Display. To turn it off, go into the Moto app and hit display. I've used it for years and I don't think the phone ever was unlocked while in my pocket. If you have a password/pin or fingerprint set up, it's almost impossible to become unlocked in your pocket.

To add onto this. If it's in your pocket the display isn't turning on due to the proximity sensor being blocked by the pocket. You can test this by holding your hand in front of the earpiece for 5 seconds, remove it and the screen will turn on. The screen will also turn on if for example you pick it up from a table.
EDIT: Didn't see that he mentioned this in the OP. It's perfectly normal. Would also like to add I've had the Moto x which has the same features for years and it never accidentally unlocked or called anyone. And I didn't even have a password set on it.

It's a great feature. It's the sole reason I'm sticking with the stock rom.

It's the main reason I go with moto phones now. All the other companies are starting to do it though but you can't get those phones for cheap like the g5 plus.
Operating as designed
I miss my g4 plus. It was stolen. Can anyone send me an APK for the Moto display of g5 plus. I want to use that on my phone ( Honor 6x). Wish it works. Thanks.
first thing i turn off.

Ambient display/moto display works fine on custom ROMs and is configurable.

Can you tell me which ones? I was under the impression the stock rom had a separate processor set aside just for moto display which meant longer battery life
I turned this off because while driving at night and the phone rest in the passenger seat or on my lap/on the seat between my legs, the display would keep lighting up in response to vehicle movements. Too distracting.
Is there a setting to make that clock brighter and stay on a bit longer PLS?

Hey guys!
The Moto G5 and G5 Plus have some motion features, like twist to start the camera or shake to start the flashlight.
Well, some times my Moto G5 Plus freeze this features, and some times work, some times not work.
I don't know why this occur, I think can be gyroscope or Android bad function...
With someone this problems occur?
Someone know how fix it?
I've reseted my Moto G5 Plus, but this not solve the problem
Someone?

I think this normally behave this way i tried this in some other moto phones also sometimes it work perfectly but some time it takes 2 or 3 guestures to activate flash i don't think by changing the phone will fix it may be it just behave this way
I'm facing a similar issue..chop for flashlight and twist for camera not working.. Randomly work by themselves...if I manually turn on flash light..it turns OFF with the chop gesture...don't know why it's not working.. Help anybody?? Also proximity sensor has some issues...
Actions sometimes work, other times don't
I have the same problem with Moto Actions on my G5 Plus. They will work for a while after a reboot. Also chop for flashlight will work to turn light off, but not on, when it's acting up. So frustrating! Otherwise a great phone but these little things make me wonder about my purchase.
I spent hours researching on the net and testing why the above problems happened. In the end, the answer was simple: some features don't work when there is a cover on the phone. With the phone cover removed, I can shake the light on and off and turn the camera on - which I can't do when the phone has its case cover over the screen. I think that this is because IR sensors are needed, not just gravitation sensors.
Scarecrow is right: one can turn on the light manually and then switch it off by karate chopping (even with the screen covered), but the inverse (chop to turn on light) only works with the screen uncovered. That is strange, but at least the chop and twist functions do work with the screen uncovered.
It is a little sad, as I love my phone case; it protects both front and back. But I now know to remove the front cover if I want to use the chop or twist function.
I actually have a Moto G4, which I love. But I think that what I have written should hold true for the G5, too. Good luck!

Yes, the front needs to be uncovered. With the proximity sensor covered, the motion features and Moto display are disabled. This prevents activation while the phone is in your pocket.
