I've been having a problem recently where the screen will turn on (very dimly) when the phone is sitting idly. It seems to happen frequently when there are notifications. It will sometimes do it repeatedly, even several times a minute. Is there any way to turn this off?

This is as designed and is called Moto Display, open the Moto app and select Display, select "Wake screen when notifications arrive" and then select None, it should stop.

I have a custom rom where i can not install this

If you're using Android Lollipop's "Ambient Display" it behaves similarly. It wakes a few times after a notification before staying off. I think it actually wakes 4 or 5 times at a set interval after a notification is received.
Goto Settings / Display, you should see where it gives you an option to turn Ambient display on or off. As far as I know the only option is to turn it off. I don't think it is configurable, but not sure on your ROM.

I'm running CM11s 33R with franco kernel r14 and Google Now Launcher. When I manually turn on my screen with the power button or double tap, to check the time for example, the screen will not go back to sleep. However if it turns on automatically because I received a text or snapchat, it will sleep if I leave it alone. Anyone else getting this issue/ have any fixes? I have screen sleep set in display settings to be after 30 seconds of inactivity so i'm wondering what the issue is. Thanks in advance.
Edit: It actually seems like my screen timeout isn't working at all, past the lock-screen, even while i'm in the actual device or an app.
Are you plugged in? In developer options, there's an option for the screen to never sleep while plugged in. If not, the answer to everything: reboot the phone!
Nope not plugged in, and i reboot multiple times on a daily basis and that hasn't fixed it.
For me, when I double tap or press the power button and leave it there, the screen will go back to sleep after 30 seconds. My old phone would turn off the screen after 5 seconds on the lockscreen. There doesn't seem to be a setting for this and it's just automatically set at 30 seconds.
i also got this problem
I got this problem also

Did you find a solution meanwhile?

i also have this problem... annoying... any update?
I am also having this problem.
In my case, the screen will stay on indefinitely. I have timeout set to 30sec.
I have "Llama" app running, and configured to disable my lockscreen based on location. This could be generating some problems... But I don't think so.
Any new thoughts or fixes?

Only way to find out is disable that app or whatever it does then testing it out

Hello all,
Is there option, under Lollipop 5, to keep the Nexus 5 screen on indefinitely. I see the max in Display settings is 30 minutes. When I am in my car, using the navigation, its a pain to have the screen go to sleep. There used to be a way, using Xposed in 4.4, to do this. Wondering if anyone has found a way to do it in 5.
Thanks,
Steve

You can also install an app called "Screen Timeout Toggle"
very handy
So by default phone is set to Moto display, tried switching to Ambient Display but it does nothing,and reacts the same way as the third option which does not wake screen at all. Just wondering if anybody have similar issue or maybe I'm doing something wrong

Yep. Same thing. I wanted to see the difference, but nothing happens with Ambient Display. I even watched several YouTube videos thinking I was looking for something that it doesn't do, but it doesn't do anything. Tested it with app notifications, texts, reminders, etc. The screen stays off 100%. I wonder how you get it working.....
I got it to work. I did some Googling, and it seems to be triggered by the "press power button to end calls.". I don't know why, but toggling that makes it work for me. You also need at least "swipe" enable for a lock screen. No lock screen means no Ambient Display. The option to toggle the power button is under settings -> accessibility. I have mine set to off, so I just toggled it on, and then back off, turned the screen off, called the phone from another phone, and after the miss call, Ambient Display worked, so I hope it works for all notifications. Haven't had any yet, but if things change I'll post back.
I'll definitely give this a go :good:
I like it better than Moto Display. Here is what I see that is different. Ambient Display doesn't wake when the phone moves, and it doesn't wake by the sensor. What happens is when you get a text, missed call, notification, etc the screen will show the time, and the notifications twice. Meaning if you get a text the Ambient Display comes on two seconds later, and then again five seconds after that. That's it. Moto Display will show you the same info only if you move the phone. It's a toss up, and really depends on what you like. I like Ambient Display since I hate that Moto Display always shows by the slightest move of the phone. Bump the table it comes on. I'd rather have the notice right when I get it, and glance at the screen to see what it is without waking the phone than having to move it to see.

I'm very sorry for posting a sort of off topic post, but nowhere can I find a definitive answer until I read your post (though there are a lot of forums to go through still... It's daunting).
So, moto display as a default the screen comes on by default when you move the phone, regardless of whether you have a notification or not? I wanted my next phone to have double tap to wake so I could avoid the power button most of the time. This appears to accomplish the same end goal.
In comparison, ambient display appears to be more to what the description of moto display leads... It comes on when you have a notification (only). This would lead to pressing the power button often, no?

Correct. With Moto Display you don't really need the power button at all. Just move the phone, and the display comes one to show the time, or time and notifications if there are any. If you touch the screen you can simply unlock the screen, or go into a notification. With Ambient Display if you don't catch the screen coming on when you get a notification you need to press the power button since moving the phone won't light up the screen like Moto Display does.

I just wiped my phone again, and the first setting I set was the ambient display. Now is working! But it sure have bugs to not work before...
BTW: I just figure out that my Moto g 3 (XT1543) is 1 GB RAM only, not 2, like I saw specs on google... I'm really frustrated =(
Hi, if you Cm13 .. then to make Ambient display working .. you must not have any 3rd party LOCKSCREEN except the default..
i mean no other things like Slidejoy,lockscreens ..etc
if they are present, then ambient display will not work !!
try if your ambient display is working by going into Guestmode with ambient ON , then you will get idea
My phone is waking up automatically to change lock screen picture every few minutes. It used to do that every few hours and now its happening every few minutes. It there a way to fix this ?
I am using magazine unlock and have latest OTA B190.

Try to investigate problem. There is something what does not allow phone to sleep and wakes up periodically.
What specific apps did you install?
Go to settings / battery and look up for draining apps.
Use alternative apps like gsam battery monitor or similar
Additionally, go to settings / screen lock & passwords / magazine unlock and turn off option "auto update over WiFi"
Is there a Bluetooth device such as a Huawei Band nearby?
Settings -> Display -> Wallpapers
Check "interval" number and change accordingly.
However, screen shouldn't wake up from this.

I have disabled magazine unlock screen also not changing wallpaper automatically. There is no notification, it looks like as if phone is waking up to change wallpaper.
Ended up doing factory data reset. Everything is back to normal. Not sure what was going on..
Hi
The screen on my phone comes on periodically showing the time. Is that meant to happen?
It happens for no reason that I can ascertain, but also it happens when I move the phone.
My G7 Power does this too

It is a feature typically called "always on display" on other phones. Moto calls it "Moto display/peek display". Yes it's supposed to happen. On Moto phones with LCD displays such as this one.....it's activated by a sensor. When it's in your pocket it'll be fully off or if you lay the phone face down even. I used to turn it off to save battery but it actually works fairly well and turns on when needed. It'll show you other notifications too.
