maybe anyone found solution to reduce delay of Ambient screen activation when you pick up your phone (Tilt sensor... I guess???) on custom roms.

According to the Leo/Linux status wiki (http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Leo/Status) the Ambient Light Sensor is still not working properly.
That would explain why auto backlight adjustment does not work.
However, when in the phone screen the light sensor seems to work in that the screen goes dark when I cover the light sensor, as expected.
So I am curious as to the status of this regarding auto backlight specifically, does anyone have any more concrete info?
Perhaps there are separate light sensors? Or perhaps the light sensor only works in a limited fashion for the time being?
Just curious, not complaining
(P.S. the free "Battery Level" widget from the Market has worked well for me in the absence of auto backlight adjustment, in case others find it useful)
well there's a proximity sensor on the phone that comes into play while you are in an active call. it disables the back as you put the phone to your ear. you were simply simulating that action by covering the sensor with your hand.
Ah ok! Thats what the proximity sensor is. That is indeed marked as working on the status wiki, so that makes sense.
Thanks!
I got the ambient display on my S5 (G900F) form CM 12.1. Thanks to the gestures control, when I wave my hand it will display time, and the screen will light up. It's really cool, but it's easy to unlock the phone by mistake when the phone is in my pocket, because the proximity sensor detected a "hand wave". Once the ambient display is on, the phone just needs one swipe to unlock the phone.
I think the screen should keep locked even I tap the screen when it is on ambient display mode. Is there any way to achieve this function?
Sorry for my poor English
Hello,
I find the Ambient Display option quite nice (even just to check the time) but I have some doubts about how it works in a pocket/bag:
If I get a notification while the phone is in my pocket, will Ambient Display trigger? (It's not about the sensors efficiency.)
I don't think so but I'd like to be sure.
Thanks
The proximity and light sensors should prevent it. You can test it by covering them with your finger.
I tested quickly and it seems you're right.
Thanks
Hello. Can any one tell me if it is possible to disable touch when an ambient display pulses? I'm on the latest official LineageOS right now and the touch is enabled when it pulses new notifications. This is a problem because when the phone is in my pocket, it pocket dials. So, is it possible to disable touch on ambient display?
Thanks.
Hi,
since 2 months ago, i meet an issue which is kind of boring.
I have the ambiant display with the tap to wake mode ON and the fingerprint sensor activated.
At the begenning of my use, i have not met any issue : ambiant display was functional (i.e written informations on a black screen).
Now, when i wake up the screen with a double tap to wake gesture , informations are stile written but, this time, on a grey flickering/flashing screen (kind of stobe ligh effect). At the moment i touch the fingerprint sensor, it stops to be flashing grey and return to normal black.
Does someone have any idea of this issue? I am hesitating to proceed to a factory reset in order to see if it solves it.
Thanks in advance for your comments.
