I was a Samsung guy but now with the new x play , how to wake up the device? only power button????
It is so uncomfortable......Samsung always have a button on the screen
Unless you've adjusted settings, just pick it up and then swipe on the screen.

Moto Display settings. Every time the phone is lifted from a surface, nudged or pulled from a pocket, the display should show a B/W lockscreen with the clock and notification icons.
the only problem is it last 1s only not giving enough time to swipe.......maybe I have a faulty device

Guys, really there is no double tap or wave to open?
I was just about ready to upgrade my Moto X and then realised this and I am so dissappointed. .. the wave to wake was so convinient....

Well, there are so many phone out there, why chose a phone that does not suit me?
Did you have a Moto X 2nd gen? You know how comfortable was to just hover your hand when it was lying in order to check either time or if you have a message?
Now you have to click the side button or is there another way?

I've just bought a Moto X Play, and it did take an hour or so to get used to the swipe-the-dot to unlock it, that's because I was swiping in the wrong direction lol.
But seriously, just pick the phone up or pull it out of your pocket to check or swipe.
anyway, i dont know why it seems so weird?
The sensors are so usefull and comfortable and phones get continiously improved, that i am very surprised about it.
If all improvements were neglected and seemed strange, i would have stayed on my Sony Ericsson P900...
On my Moto G Lte and Moto X Play using Gravity Screen with only proximity sensor uses here on both phones only 0,2-0,3% a charge according to Gsam. Other options in that app like movement use a lot more battery so have that disabled in that app.
Now screen off: put device face down on table, etc. Or put in pocket or bag.
Screen on: pick faced down device up. Pull out of pocket/bag. Or wave over proximity sensor next to top speaker grill on the right.
As extra screen off without using power button I have set: slide up home button=Greenify+lock screen. Double tap home screen and/or status bar with Apex or Nova launcher. A sleep button in Quick Setting and Power Tools.
Moto's lighting up Active Display was also far to short for me. But more irritating was the so often unneeded lighting up of display and keeping device awake according to Wakelock Detector. When device in bag or pocket while walking or driving. Putting glass on table. Moving leg in bed. Even when heavy trucks drive trough the street where I work.
So now using Moto Ambient display. Only lighting up screen after missed call or text. Idle drain is now less than wirh Active Display.

I understand you. It was a nice feature and strangely one of the main advertising features of last year's moto flagship. Now it is gone and nobody wants to talk about it. I want it back, but don't want to exchange against battery life and the camera of moto x play. And I miss my wooden battery cover. The style's battery is to small battery [emoji41]

I am waiting for my Moto Play...
If i dont like it in the first month i will just return it! Let's see.
Received my Moto X yesterday. First impression compared to my Moto X 2014, is that Play does not have the character and style of 2014 model.. And with no wave to wake or double tap, I feel that I went years back, in a negative way... At the current levels of mobiles phones, if you dont put the two above at least put a fingerprint sensor.
I will test it for 10 more days, but first feelings are negative. On the positive side is the wonderful camera!

Does anybody know if the screen on the Moto X Pure supports this function? Its certainly nice to not have to pick up the phone to take a quick peek at the screen.
I really would like it to be but i dont think it will im coming from a G4 and its one of the best features
once we get root and make a kernel
i think you can move your hand over it to get active display on from there you should be able to wake i think
It wakes before you touch the screen by just reaching for it. Far better than double tap to wake

I agree. The phone will wake when you wave your hand over it. So if there is dirt or anything unpleasant on your hands, you don't have to touch the phone at all to wake it. This is better than 2x tap. And if your phone is on the edge of something, there isn't a chance that you will knock it down, since you won't have to touch the phone.
D2W is old school. Say hello to waves.

Waving isn't not a replacement for double tap... No one should assume that. Some folks love double tap. I hope to see it added soon
Waving is less reliable also. I have to wave a few times to wake it up sometimes. That did not happen with d2tw on other phone I tried.
I like the wave, but I do miss dt2w that takes you directly to your home screen. But to be honest, 95 % of the time I did dt2w, I was checking the time or seeing if I had any messages and didn't need to go to my home screen, so the wave is pretty cool in that fact.
Waving isn't a replacement true, I would of liked to see dttw as well its a good replacement since when u hold ur phone with one hand using ur thumb to do so and wake up the phone
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
You don't have to wave. The screen wakes as you approach it. The screen comes on long before you can double tap..
i hope we can get the double tap to wake soon. the waiving thing is kinda janky doesn't work all the time and would like it to bring me to the full lock screen rather then a dark black screen .
I have to admit I am kind of spoiled by it from my G2. My X won't be here until next week so the jury is still out on the wave. At least I know i can double tap off once I get my Nova loaded.
I actually miss double-tap to lock/sleep more. The waving is cool enough for waking it back up, but having to mash the power button to lock it sucks.
I found a couple of transparent widgets that kind of do this, but the problem is that they are incompatible with Trusted Devices (BT, NFC) that I use a lot, and you have to reenter your pin if you use these widgets.
I guess I can't have my cake and eat it too....

No s**t? I've been using Nova for the past couple years and didn't realize it.

So there's two ir at the bottom and one at the top. When I wave my hand by the top ir it wakes up the moto display but when I wave it by the bottom ones nothing happens? I do see the red or lights on them. But are the bottoms ones supposed to be for something els.
Or Is there a certain way of motion?

I am noticing the same thing, this is my first moto x so I would like to understand how the sensors work.

From playing with the sensors it looks like the bottom set only respond to the reach gesture. The top one only responds both reach and wave. Seems deliberate

Do I have to wave over the bottom sensor or hover? Neither way works when I "reach".

I'm these are enabled by default. Check to make sure they still are. If your phone is not responding when you grab it you might have a defective unit.

That's because the phone also senses motion when putting on its back.

I did a Google search for this and couldn't find anything that matched my issue. I thought there was a post on XDA about something similar but nothing came up.
I have 'approach for moto display activated'. I have all other moto activations deactivated.
I have 'wake screen on moto display' activated. I prefer to wave my hand to wake my screen.
I have noticed that when I'm driving, the phone keeps waking the screen. It's like the phone is thinking I'm moving the phone but I thought I had all those options turned off. There isn't anything making movements over the IR sensors.
Am I mistaken when I think the screen should not come on when it senses motion?
Yeah, I also think the sensitity is way too high... I have it sitting next to me on the desk @work about 50cm away.... display goes on all the time... annoying ._.

The phone senses movement and will wake. Put it on a pillow or something and gently move the pillow. The display will wake. Same principle in vehicle. Any jarring or bouncing motion will wake display. The phone won't do this if its face down or on it's side.
An option to disable the movement wake would be great. I'm surprised they don't have the option along with the approach option.
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
Face down doesn't help when you're using the speakers.
A double tap to wake option in a custom kernel would be beneficial IF it would be feasible with this processor.

I know.... But my statement was I wish that they had an option to disable the motion like they did with the approach. I'd much rather have approach enabled and motion disabled.

I totally agree.
I thought mine was doing that too but after testing it yesterday on the way home I think that it's my hand that's activating it. I have the phone mounted on an air vent next to the steering wheel and when my hand is up there it activates the screen, if it's not there it doesn't seem to come on at all even going over bumps etc.
Maybe you have something similar? I have all of the assist option on and it's in driving mode during this.
Mine does the same, but it was on a table far enough from me to not be triggered by movement, just reproducing some music. If it s also sensible to that it doesn't make sense. I already had to switch off moto voice cause it got triggered by almost everything, even the runtle of the fridge. If I have to switch off all the moto functionalities cause they work bad well than I could have bought another phone.
Have to say I agree here. I would love to be able to either adjust the sensitivity to movement of durable the move to wake while keeping the proximity and turned on.
Hey guys, I just got the phone today. Usually the first thing I do is to shake the phone to see if there is any unexpected noise.
UNFORTUNATELY ... It has. The way I shake it is to hold the bottom half and use the top half like a fan. It sounds like a plastic piece that keeps bumping.
Then I tried to hold some parts tight, but the noise was still there. I wasn't able to find the cause.
Any ideas? Thanks! If it's common I will keep the phone, otherwise I'm gonna return the phone before it's too late.

Thanks for the reply. I just powered off, removed the tray with SIM and SD, and shaked again. The sound is still there.
I guess this is due to bad assembly of budget phones ... Did some search and found that maybe the sound is from the camera's OIS module. Unfortunately G5+ doesn't have OIS ...

OK. I think it is the camera module.
The original sound is harsh (just like plastics bumping into each other) , but when I turn on the camera and shake again, the sound is smoother.
So the phone is working as it should but for some reason a person wants to shake it?
It's probably the camera module..try shaking it while the cameras on and see if it still makes that sound.
But really shaking a phone is pretty dumb.

Same thing here. It is the loose volume buttons (not really loose). Just hold them and shake it, no sound.
Try again without SIM tray... Definitely the crackle is louder with it.
Removing it, only left camera module noise, but you should be exaggerating the shake

exactly what i was going to say
if you quickly tap on volume button(in my case volume down) without cover or case you would get thet noise
i can clearly listen and feel the button being loose and so it also happens on shaking phone
Also got that sound. :/ With camera on its really faint.
Only on XDA, people are shaking phones like idiots.

So I just got myself a moto g5+ the power button seems to be sort of mushy. Even though at the end of the price there is a nice click but the button is loose and wiggly.
One way to test it is if you lightly tap the power button does it move up and down without clicking? Thank you for your time.
