... Why doesn't it work on the moto x pure? / Style? Is there any mod to modify what appears using moto display? I know there was a couple of mods for for active display but is there anything for moto display?
Guess no one knows
What doesn't work?
I thought I remember it working fine for me, but I was only on stock for a short time.

Motorola Moto X Pure glitches when using "moto voice assist" (voice activation)
hello all. I have two questions about this phone.
1: The Motorola Moto X pure, has an interesting proprietary voice activation feature, I'm sure many of you are already familiar with, called "Moto voice" assist. I often use this to instruct the camera to take a picture, enabling me, to do hands-free photography.
This has proven invaluable a couple of times, as my job is in security, and it's great to be able to pull up behind a car, or warehouse, and simply tell my phone to "take a photo" for future records. My problem is when I use it in conjunction with the camera function, there is a frustrating 3 second countdown, which is actually something more in the order of 5 seconds. I'm wondering if there's a way to eliminate this countdown, so the camera will merely open up and take a picture when I tell it to, rather than doing this slow countdown.
2: like many other people I believe, I migrated to the Motorola Moto X, from Samsung galaxy S3. on that phone, I could use a flashlight, and the camera simultaneously.
This was also good thing, because I could use the phone screen like a lit monitor in conjunction with flashlight, and it would help me find small things and details at night, and the two working together made the phone even more functional for me. Sadly, for some reason I do not understand, using the Motorola Moto X pure, I can find no way to use the flashlight, and the camera simultaneously.
Anybody have any ideas on how to solve these two problems?
Thank you for your time

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
If I install the Gear app, and the other two apps that have to come with it to make my Gear S2 work, the phone screen stays on during phone calls. Anyone else experience this?
Yes!!! I have this issue too! Have you found a fix?
Thanks,

Hi, i have purchased the moto g5 plus, since there is notification led (without root) i am using the "moto display" feature for notifications/reminders
its working great, but the problem is i have a flip cover, its the original motorola one, its a litte bit transparant as you can see here :
https://www.gsmpunt.nl/hoesjes/originele-moto-g5-plus-touch-flip-cover-zwart/
so the problem is, that if the moto g5 is lying on my desk, it thinks its in pocket mode, because proximity sensor is blocked?
so moto display is not working
so how can i enable moto display, even when it thinks its in pocked mode? how to disable pocket mode?

You can't.
Perhaps you can drill a little hole in the case, where the proximity sensor it's located. If it's a flexible material you can use a leather punch tool (or any adecuate size metal tube and​ a hammer). If it's a solid material perhaps you will need a heated wire and sandpaper (it requires a little more care).

ok, thats maybe a good solution, thnx for the idea!
I forgot to say, that in this way, the device will not be turned on by movements when is in your pocket.
Disabling the proximity sensor alone (if possible) will turn your screen constantly on in your pocket when you are walking.

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.
