Make sure you have the setting checked. Also it wont alert you unless the screen is off.
The screen must be off and it also used the phone as a pedometer so you can test it by taking the pen out, turn the screen off and tap the phone on the floor.

I was at least 15ft & no alert for approx 2 minutes - that's enough time to leave the conf room, get on the elevator & lose that s pen forever...
I'll test again, maybe my screen wasn't off in time.

Tested mine with the tapping method. Seems to now work at 16 ft.

I just looked at this setting, and realized that I didn't turn it on.
It's not a function of distance from the phone, but more the number of 'steps' the phone counts when the screen is off.
I had the pen right next to my phone and shook it like a Polaroid picture. Eventually I got a strong buzzing notification.
Cool stuff!
I was messing around and trying this but it don't work on mine even know its activated in the menu anyone else have this problem

It takes a few chops to get mine to work...its not very consistent.
I thought the same thing but it was just my technique. I was doing it much slower than needed. Now that I do the double chop quickly and with more force, it works every time. I'm not sure if you are doing it the same was I was. Try to do it faster. IBthatswhatshesaid.

That's it...go figure. I'll have to use this feature conservatively or I will end up throwing the phone on accident. Its not if, but when haha.

It works fine once you learn the motion

This.
Be careful with your phone, better safe than sorry :laugh:
The trick is to keep the phone in your hand level, and not 'dip' the phone down as you chop. Literally imagine you are karate chopping a piece of wood - you would keep your hand vertical as you did it. Took me a few goes to realize, and a few mis-opens of the camera app. I was like 'noooo moto, what are you doing' as my wife laughs at me.
I have a hard time activating it too.... You have to hold it completely straight up and down and not rotate it at all when "chopping" it. I get it to work about 30% of the time. I'm sure after I do it (a lot), I'll get the hang of it.
Just like some phones that have "Double tap to wake", they usually take me a few weeks to get it down......Then it's 2nd nature.
@zombicidal maniac - NICE avatar!
I can see it now...keys get dropped on the CONCRETE driveway in the dark...chop-chop and the phone smashes WITH ADDED FORCE right on the driveway...the horrible sound of glass breaking, and metal crunching, and that sickening sound of the whole unit bouncing and sliding under the car.
No thanks...I will use an easier (safer) way to turn on the flashlight! :cyclops:
Finally got it to work a few times

I finally got it right. What was throwing me for a loop was the animation on the activation page. If you chop at the pace shown, it will NOT activate the flash light. You have to chop faster. Just my observation.
When you chop your phone does it sound like something is loose in there? Mine does, it is also sounds like something is loose when it vibrates. Hopefully you guys experience the same thing.
I have to chop super fast and multiple times, so much easier to turn it on manually.
Chopping downward with the phone vertical is heavily inconsistent. What I've found is almost always reliable is doing a chop sideways with the phone horizontal (screen facing upward). Give it a try.

I'm not seeing the option to do it, at least on my T-Mobile Edge.

Anyone know how to disable the feature that turns your screen off when you touch or cover the top left hand corner right above the display... It's like a proximity sensor or something and it bugs me because if I reach for the pull down bar my screen turns off and I have to re fingerprint and it slows what I'm trying to do down.. Is there any fix?
All I see is the display setting "keep screen turned off". I'm not sure if it'll work but worth a try.
Doesn't happen on my phone unless there is an active phone call.

I've noticed the AOD goes with how the room is...so if it's dark it's going to look really dark. I put my phone in a my drawer and the screen went completely dark. AOD only works when there's light. In the dark it's really dim.
