I dont think this is possible without any gesture movement set by you.

Not sure if it will work but give the xposed module Xposed Addition a try. It lets you remap all the hardware buttons on your device. You can set some type of hardware key combo (ie. power+vol up) to turn screen on.

Phone screen turns on on its own?

Running oxygen rom and the screen turns off and on on its own without me touching it?

Turning off cause the ''lockscreen" is activated or you mean autobrightness when you are watching a movie on your phone ?

Need a app to keep the screen on like knock on

Is there a app that doesn't lock the screen when the display turns off, I find it a bit annoying on android to turn on the phone, on symbian I just had to press any key to turn on the display without unlocking it, and lock it only using the lock key.
I prefer a app like LG G2's Knock On.

I don't want to upgrade to a CFW now. I prefer enjoying rhe phone on stock than to deal with minor hindrances which ruin the experience on a CFW, like the camera bug mentioned in the thread you quoted to.

You're out of luck then unfortunately, custom kernel is the only thing that offers it right now.

Such a basic thing that symbian had but android doesn't, I am disappointed with Google.

Just go to settings and set lock screen to none.

Thanks for the apps but with both the apps the phone gets locked after the screen turns off, I wanted a app that turns off the autolock of phone and just turns off the screen to save power. So I can press any key on the phone to see the screen without unlocking it each time.

I can press any key except the volume rockers which leaves the obvious power button and the home button will turn my screen on and with no lock screen it does what you want it to.

In the US English yes, no other version yet (unless you go custom and hack it yourself)
Everything is ON now and setting in US English too but saying the magic words won't wake up the phone. Any other idea?

If the mic icon in the search bar is an outline it's not working, if it's a solid icon then it should be working

Ok Google only works from the home screen on 4.4.x versions of android, the moto x has a special always listening function built by moto as well a chip that has low battery usages that allows for the active listening function anytime. Its probably possible for the nexus 5 to do the same but it would drain the $h1t out of the battery.
In moto x it called the "active display".. In which the phone always listening thru its mic. If somehow our nexus 5 can have this feature would be awesome..

No, this is not possible as we do not have the same chipset as the Moto X.
utter! has "always listening even when screen is off" functionality (and much more).

Active Display is actually a notification feature that shows you what notifications you have while you're screen is off. It powers on your screen while you're phone is locked to show you notifications periodically. This feature was developed for the amoled screen that the moto x has since that type of display can light up individual pixels and not the whole screen to save battery. But active display has been ported by a few different custom roms now like Omni.

Without installing an App with the "always listening" feature it is not possible.
There are Apps for that.
Open Mic+ is a good one. Use it myself.

No,it happens all the time,but first when I got this device,it was normal but suddenly one day it changed and since then I've been trying to fixed it but no luck doing that.
But yes it happens every time.
Just take a chance to reboot (restart) it and tell me afterward..

Didnt thought so that it is that much tough..okay just turn off the auto brightness mode or powersaving mode. Tyen slide the brightness control high to low. Hope this works.
Good luck

Screen of on HDMI

Is there a way to turn the screen of while mirroring via HDMI? The app "Screen Standby" doesn't work. Unfortunately.
Any advice is welcome.

The screen standby app sort of works for me ... enough for me to keep using it at least.... basically on my nexus 5 the normal screen off method doesn't work I have to use the one two dim method and the screen stays off for good
So currently i have it setup like this :
Auto HDMI detection > starts timer when i plug slimport in
lasts about 10-15 seconds ( enough time for me to setup my app etc )
screen turns off
