I wasn't able to find a solid answer on google. I have active display turned on. The 6p turns on if I pick it up off the desk (about 10-20% of the time though it doesn't turn on when picking it up). But if I have it in my pocket and pull it out, it never turns on. Is it supposed to turn on?
Yes the sneak view should come on when you make heavy moments on your phone.
Yes, Ambient Display will turn the screen on. at first it'll be in grayscale, but as soon as your finger touches the screen, it will be fully on waiting your input. you can turn ambient display off in settings if you no longer find that feature useful. I recommend turning on the LED Notification light if you prefer that over Ambient Display.

I recently aquired this phone, brand new too! Bought unbranded of course, and fully unlocked etc etc..
Problem is, when i sit in my couch at night, with my light turned on, bout 50-80cm away, that light is bright enough to fool the sensor to think im outside in full sunlight or something, cuz the "white light" in the home, menu, back, search button lights up for 1 second about, then shuts off, and dont come back on, unless i turn off the light, or hold my fingers above the top part of the screen, then it turns on, and stays on, untill i remove my hand or turn on the light, and then it shuts off after 1-2 seconds again...
Is there a way to either disable this ambient light sensor, or change its sensitivity to light... Cuz this is crazy!
Is it supposed to do that ? I think it's broken.
I have no such problem with my phone.

Go to Menu -> Settings -> Display -> Brightness -> uncheck the automatic brightness! this should fix your problem!
I dont think its actually broken though... I just realised that my HTC Desire is acting the same after the latest update, well, maybe the wildfire is just a tad more sensitive.. But if i fx just have one of the lamps on, then it activates after 1 second... :| Stupid sensitivity!!

Already done! The phone switched brightness settings too damn often for me to be sane! So that setting got torn off about 1 min after the phone was done updateing to latest kernl.
My lock screen keeps turning on every few minutes, I don't have any notifications or any reason that I can see why it would be turning on. It just turns on to show met that it's turned on I guess. I get a flash of the light effect, then it turns off 1 or 2 seconds later. It happens every few minutes. Any idea?
Most likely quick glance. Do you have quick glance turned on under air gestures? Does it show a quick glance of notifications and time or is it the actual lockscreen

I have all of those sensor settings turned off, so that's not it. It's the actual lockscreen. I do see a glimpse of the light effect, it's like something is touching the screen to wake it up, but I know for a fact that nothing is touching the screen!
All of my settings are off besides wi-fi, mobile data, screen rotation, and sync.
For actions, I have approach for moto display turned on.
Under display, notifications are turned off.
As I understand it, the phone should wake by wave, but _NOT_ wake up the display when notifications come in.
Instead, i'm not getting it to wake by wave. The only way it'll wake by wave is if the notifications are turned on under display (in moto assist app).

I've noticed that too. You're not alone.
<eye roll> Why even have the options like that. Seems they put an AND statement rather than an OR in the code.
I may have a partial workaround. The notifications wake allows you to set a time window when notifications are NOT shown. I set it from 00:00 to 23:59. This keeps the phone from waking for every notification and keeps the wave to wake functional.
So, I took this a step further.
I left the time interval in place as mentioned above (12:00am to 11:59pm). This prevents the screen from turning on for each notification alert.
I was bothered by how sensitive the prox sensors were. Bring your hand anywhere near the phone and it lights up.
Disabled the approach to wake option in moto display. The display still lights up but it now requires some form of movement such as picking it up, rotate/twist, etc. It's not perfect, but gets the job done.
I was annoyed by the approach thing always lighting up my screen too. I have found that I do like the screen coming on when I move the phone though. Just bumping it lightly is sufficient to light up the screen.
I had to switch out my s7e and my 2nd unit keeps dimming the screen when in low light. I have brightness at max and auto brightness turned off. Are there any fixes for this? Does anyone know if the Base (sp) rom fixes this?
Test if your device does this: set screen to max brightness and turn auto brightness off. turn your screen off. Turn off the light in your room. Turn screen on and unlock screen. It should be a bit dimmer. Now turn screen off, turn the rooms light back on, and turn the phone back on. It should now be brighter. Does your phone do this?
Bump
Mine does it too and while this issue has been documented on different forums I have yet to see a real season or fix. Found posts about it also happening on the S6. It is irritating as I thought that auto brightness turned off should completely prevent this. You can trigger changes by covering/uncovering the proximity sensors at the front top of the phone with your fingers.
I would like to tell you that it often happens when I pull the S10+ out of my pocket, so the display is not in "stand by" mode, it is not always on display, but it is slightly backlit. Classically, the display is black and shines only AOD. But when I pull it out of my pocket, instead of the classic AOD it shines for hours and even seconds and after them you can see the wallpaper of the locked display and it is slightly backlit. The display itself is dark, but it is slightly backlit and you can see the wallpaper. With the classic AOD, the display is completely black and I have set only hours, minutes, date and battery, and of course, the notification, if any. Does anyone know what it is, whether it can be turned off so that the display does not illuminate the pocket?
I have accidental touch protection on.
As far as I know proximity sensor is only accessible when you are in call, that's why other apps can't access it.
Samsung should remedy this. Because I always change the Always On setting in my pocket. Specifically - Rotation and Brightness Always On.
EDIT: It happens most when I tap wake-up.
