Not sure if anybody else has experienced this, but the phone seems to answer calls automatically when the screen is facing down or in a pocket. This issue persists even with all the motion control settings off. I have also activated different combinations of them to no avail. As an experiment, I had a friend call with the screen facing up. The phone rang, but as soon as I flipped it over, the call was answered. Software glitch?

I have done this. No impact whatsoever. The screen doesn't even have to be touched while facing down to auto-answer.

Check whether your ambient light sensor is working or not.
Have you tried factory reset? Did u update your phone recently?
If you need to lock your device to avoid accidental pick ups, follow these steps:
- Press the power button to manually lock the screen.
- The screen will lock automatically and enter sleep mode after it has been idle for a certain period to reduce power consumption and prevent unintended operations.
NOTE: To change the screen sleep time, open [click to enlarge] Settings, touch Display > Sleep, and then select a time.
Your phone will continue to receive messages, notifications, and incoming calls when the screen is locked. The status indicator will flash when you receive new notifications. When you receive an incoming call, the screen will turn on and display the caller information. (NS)
I have the same issue and it is really disturbing. Even if it is locked, if the proximity sensor is covered the phone automatically answers the call. I have all of the smart motion features turned off.
This means if someone calls me and my phone is face down or in my pocket, they can listen in on whatever I'm doing. I didn't notice it immediately because I don't receive many calls. I'm running the latest Honor firmware, but I would rather not have to factory reset (a huge hassle) just to test if anyone else has any information.
Phew, crisis averted. After half an hour or so of scrambling around my phone settings (I've been using android for a long time, I know my way around the settings VERY well), I found the culprit wasn't even an Honor smart feature. In the android accessibility menu, I somehow had "Raise to ear to answer" turned on. Apparently on the Honor 8 (and maybe more android phones? I'll have to do some testing), this setting only watches the proximity sensor and not the proximitey sensor AND the accelerometer. The Honor's smart motion feature "Raise to ear to answer calls" watches both sensors and works properly. OP, go to Settings->Advanced Settings->Accessibility and make sure the "Raise to ear to answer" settings is switched off!

The answer in post 6 is correct works on the H5x also
As someone who had this issue, I will point out that there were two distinct ways of getting to the "raise to ear to answer" setting on my Honor 8 and I had to turn BOTH off before it stopped answering calls in my pocket. So if anyone is having this issue, it might be worth checking out if your phone has multiple paths to the setting.

Simply go to settings and type the word Raise in the search box and both settings are right their.
The big thing on the H5x was the setting was on by default I think their both off on the H8 unless you change it

Thanks. This was driving me crazy with the Honor 7x. I turned this feature on but couldn't remember how i did it and couldn't find the setting. I have a flip case on the phone so it would ALWAYS auto answer because it thought it was at my ear.

Short description:
Getting Started...
==================
- Click add to select contact, group, or special number
- Set your contact or group incoming call preferences (detailed below)
Contacts, Groups and Special Numbers
====================================
- If you chose a contact with more than one phone number, you have to choose a specific number
- If you chose a group, the selected setup would be applied on all contacts within the group
- If a contact is removed from a group, the app would update itself on the next run.
Note: until next run, the removed contact is still considered as within the group
- You can also setup your incoming call preferences for 'blocked number'.
Note: this option is not for unlisted numbers in the phone's contact list
Incoming Call & Sms Preferences
=========================
- Choose between Loud, Vibrate or Silent per contact or group
- Define after how many calls or messages to activate above setup. The simple setup - after one call or message - means to activate the setup for each incoming call or sms
- If you chose two or more calls, a period of time in minutes is also needed to define the complete setup. For example, make the phone ring for contact 'X', after 2 calls within 10 minutes
- Loud would be activated when the phone is on silent or vibrate mode
- Vibrate would be activated only when the phone is on silent mode
- Silent would be activated when the phone is on loud or vibrate mode. Note that silent is activated for each call
- After confirmed, setup would also appear in the application's main screen. If two or more incoming calls are selected, a red indication with the number of calls would show up on the setup icon
Auto Activation and Popup Alert
===============================
- In the application's main screen, the bottom right button would indicate whether the setup is activated or not. A green light means enabled, while a red light means disabled
- You can manually enable or disable the selected setup by pressing the bottom right button
- In the settings screen, you can choose to auto activate when phone state is changed to vibrate or silent
- If auto activation is not selected, you can choose whether to use popup alert when the phone state is changed to vibrate or silent
- If popup alert is enabled and ringer mode change is detected, you can choose whether to activate Smart N' Loud, or use 'real silent' mode
- Choosing the 'always' option would set the auto activation option for next time. In order to change it, use the settings screen
Further Help
============
- In case you encountered any problems and you need further help, please contact us using the 'contact us' button in the settings screen
- If you like the application, please help us and rank us. Thanks!
Wow that is a nice idea. Not only for your Boss but for a lot of other situations.
Thanks.

Installing... Can this mute notifications while keeping ringer on and vice versa?
eyalse said:
Now it's possible!!!
Install Smart N' Loud, define your "important" contact in the application, and put your phone on silent!
When he/she calls - the phone will ring!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eyalse.smartandloud
More features:
- define your "white list" or "black list" for each contact seperately
- definition for incoming blocked number is also possible
- you can define that the phone would ring after certain number of call (your choice) in a specific time range (your choice)
for example: 2 calls in 10 minutes from a specific contact - the phone would ring.
- search for your contacts in a easy and simple way - through the search box
- if not defined "Auto", when the phone changed into vibrate/silent - the app will ask you whether to activate Smart N' Loud or not.
you can define "auto activation" by answering "always", or check the option inside the app.
- when the call ends - the phone will return to its previous ringing mode.

great :good:
This looks like a great app. I've tried a lot of apps like this one because I want to have my phone in silent mode in the night but I've also got a few contacts that I want to know if they call me.
How do I disable your app? If I switch my phone to silent mode, your app asks me if I want to turn it on. That's a very nice feature. But if I say yes but then later want to turn off the app and keep my phone in silent mode no matter who calls me, how do I turn off your app so it doesn't override my silent setting?
Hi,
In that case you have to change your phone back to loud, and when you change again to silent, just press "No".
I guess i could add another checkbox inside the app which allows to "deactivate" the previous selected mode...i'll think about it for the next version...

If you could add those features, and perhaps auto-mute sms and non-call notifications while listening to music, playing a game or watching a video (either preconfigured if possible, or perhaps user-configurable, whatever is easier to develop) I would definitely use this instead of Sanity.
That's not a bad idea, but its kind of a different app... I don't know if it is possible to do all the things you listed, but i'll check it...

Purchase
I installed the app on my sprint note 2 and purchased the " add more contacts" option, but when i installed it on my sprint lg g2, i get a try again error messae when I try to purchase the option for that phone. I've un-installed and re-installed but keep getting the same error.
Hi, that's odd...
The purchase process is basically not mine, it's google's...
i do check the Android id but this belongs to a device, not user, so it shouldn't be a problem.
what is the message you get?

New version is out!!!
On 1.4 I found a bug which caused app to crash on startup. This bug is related to "Blocked Number" and language issues. Sorry for that. it is now fixed!
Before Lollipop, Sony had implemented a trusted feature with, say, a Pebble smartwatch or other trusted device - but now with 5.0.2 installed, I can't see how to set/change it.
What's more, my existing trusted device (watch) no longer unlocks the phone when in range.
I can see there's now a new setting (off by default) in Settings/Security/Trust agents/Smart Lock (Google) which could be it - as in the native Lollipop method, but even once I turn that on, there's no option that I can find unless I'm being really dumb?!
Think I've answered my own question. I rebooted and now in security there's a Smart Lock function menu that let's you unlock with Bluetooth, face etc.
That's exactly it, and it works better than what Sony had in 4.4.4 - it skips the lockscreen completely and without delay, unlike Sony's implementation...

How so? With my SmartBand, it just bypasses the pattern, but I still have to swipe to unlock it, unlike with 4.4.4 where it would unlock it completely.
I'm having trouble with this working with my SmartBand. On 4.4.4 my phone unlocked no problem 100% percent of the time. On 5.0.2 maybe 50% of the time. It's so frustrating!
It's working fine for everyone?

It's having compatibility issues with the SmartBand I guess. Same here, so back to using Tasker to achieve that.
I may have figured it out.
When I first set up smartly smartlock I did so using nfc when prompted to pair to the smartband.
What I did now was turn off the smartband and force stop or uninstall the smartband app (I uninstalled). To turn off the smartband you hold down the little button for a while (past the night mode toggle). Now go into the Bluetooth menu and turn on the smartband. Tap it when it shows up. Now that they're paired. Go back and setup smartlock again but this choose Bluetooth instead of nfc.
Using nfc it labeled the smartband as "smartband" while the Bluetooth method named it sw-10.
What I still liked about Sony's implementation was that you could set the proximity. I thought that was brilliant. I want the phone to unlock if it's in my hand and that's it.
What changes? Nothing, you still have to slide to unlock.

Yes, but we're talking specifically about the Sony Smartband in the last few posts. Apparently there is some issue with compatibility and I thought I had figured it out. I did, but as with others the problem now is that it won't hold through a power down cycle.
We understand the directions state you may have to reenter your passcode/pattern if the phone is left for a while or powered off but for me, and I believe some others, the only way to get it back is to erase the smartband app and start all over with pairing and smartlock setup. It's not like it starts working again after a single "verification"
As far as people's complaint about the smartlock not bypassing the swipe screen I believe that to simply be a lollipop change because of the new notification centric lockscreen. I actually like it. 75% of the time I want to check on a notification or mess with the music that's playing. Now it can bypass my security but still let me get to my notifications and music quickly. I actually much prefer it this way.
You are arguably just a minority judging by the topic full of hatred on AOSP forum. And I agree, why should I waste my time on a screen I don't want to have notifications at, especially as on KitKat, it worked basically the same, the device was unlocked by simple double click and next swipe could've been sliding notification bar. Don't see why I should have to swipe twice as much just to unlock the phone, it's the thing you do everytime you use your phone, for f***'s sake!
Sent from my Xperia Z2 via Tapatalk
We are all the minority. 9 out of 10 people could care less if they have to swipe, tap, or whatever. The people complaining in a thread on a forum certainly don't represent the larger audience. So yes, on these forums perhaps I am the minority, but I think with the z3 running lollipop there are quite afew improvements over KitKat. Some things I wish didn't change but Sony and Google didn't customize a Rom just for me. You always have the option of reverting to KitKaT.
~~~~~~ Introduction ~~~~~~
Using Android Lollipop/Marshmallow's lock screen notifications?
Tired of having to press the power button to see them?
Want your phone to turn on new notifications, but only when you grab to look at it?
Want your phone to turn on right when you take it out of your pocket?
Then this app is for you!

This all new app fills an annoying hole in Android Lollipop's lock screen notification system. It's nice, it's shiny, but you always need to push that damn power button. This app does it for you, and also respects quiet times and whether or not your device is in your pocket.
It also does this:
recurring notifications (screen on and/or sound)
emulate LED notifications that the system lockscreen no longer shows
Double-tap to lock function for lockscreen
custom lockscreen display time
lockscreen lock-on-cover function
At the same time the app is completely for free and without ads!

Looks interesting, thanks for sharing. I'm an ACDisplay user on an S4 but it doesn't seem to stay active the notification allowed so I'll try this.
thanks for this, it works well
only problem I found is that pocket detection doesn't work on my Samsung Galaxy S6

Yes, been using that one (and others) as well, but I always wondered why everybody wants to reinvent the lockscreen. I'm using a pattern lock and found none of the existing solutions to work well.

Strange. So, have you observed the screen turning on even if the proximity sensor is covered?
I plan on adding an extension to the pocket mode to cover the following use case: if the phone is pocketet or face down and you hear a notification, you typically take the phone and see what happened. Then I want it to turn on, but not necessarily everytime I take it out of my pocket. So something like "if coming out of pocket AND last notification less than N seconds ago -> turn on screen".
Perhaps we can sort your issues with the sensor out on the way.

yes, I covered the proximity sensor and sent the test notification and the screen turned on
I tried a different app that does basically the same like yours and it has the same problem, so maybe it's something related to Samsung?

Linked here from the OP's comment in the ACDisplay xda portal article. Looking very nice so far. Only feature I miss from ACDisplay is the active mode, i.e. screen on when removed from pocket, regardless of notification. This is a great way to keep power button use down, especially for devices like the N5 with known hardware button failures.

Linked here from the OP's comment in the ACDisplay xda portal article. Looking very nice so far. Only feature I miss from ACDisplay is the active mode, i.e. screen on when removed from pocket, regardless of notification. This is a great way to keep power button use down, especially for devices like the N5 with known hardware button failures.

Yeah I already assumed people will want that and I'm planning to cover this use case as well. Personally, when I had apps working like that in the past I found it a bit annoying that everytime I took out the phone to put it like on the table it turned on (even if there were pending notifications). That's why I thought about how I could narrow down the logic to be more useful.

Just make it a setting. Some people like it, some don't.

yes, I covered the proximity sensor and sent the test notification and the screen turned on
I tried a different app that does basically the same like yours and it has the same problem, so maybe it's something related to Samsung?

A quick web search showed some reports that sounded a bit like what you're experiencing. So it could be a Samsung thing.

I would like to try your app on a Moto G 2013 running Cyanogenmod 12.1 (that doesn't have Ambient display enabled ).
Thanks in advance

Well, I have to say, this is a great app. The only thing it needs is the black list feature, that would really create a full circle of usability and applicability.
Keep up the great work..

Thanks. Well, as a matter of fact I started out with having a black list and found that to be less useful than just marking the few notification sources I'm actually interested in (like Mail, SMS, WA). I'll think about throwing in a switch to configure black/white list behaviour, but it's not top of the list TBH.

Big oops here - I just realized that for the testing notification, I skip all the other checks because I figured it would confuse people if the other other filters prevented the test. Turns out the way I did it it confused us all. I'm going to change that in the next version (which is taking shape).

I tried it out with a "real" notification (by sending myself an email)... still the screen turns on with the proximity sensor being covered

Yeah, I can understand your point, but a black list, in addition to allowing users to block apps whose notifications they don't consider important/desirable, would also allow users to block out any app/process/service that Glimpse may report about, such as 'wireless networks available', you know, things from Android system or System UI, whose notifications just drain the battery without any real purpose.
But hey, it's just a suggestion, it's totally up to you what gets implemented.
Great app nevertheless..
Just pushed a new version: https://plus.google.com/105721704336323394016/posts/2rMtKQSLgu1
Let's see what Pandora's Box I have opened with the new Unpocket mode!
Enjoy!

Nice app...working great... ??
Could it be possible that instead of whole screen being lit up, only the area where notification is shown is lit up in black and white color? Just like active display ?

Can someone with MIUI 12 check something for me? Is it possible to create exclusions while in the do not disturb mode? So in settings -> apps, select a random app, click notifications. There should be some sort of ignore DND option, hopefully...
I am still on 11 and want to go to 12 but I'm waiting for the 168 hours.

Ah, that's a shame, then I will have to do some Tasker stuff to make it work
Well... Does do not disturb mode works for you? On mi 10 pro if you set to receive calls from anyone, app notifications and sounds won't be muted at all.....
Same issue! Please help!

Sorry for the late response, did not see this quote yet.
By using tasker and autonotification plugin, you can let tasker play a sound over the alarm channel whenever Facebook messenger sends you a message. Also when in DND mode.
I'm now using the Pixel 5 and returned my Xiaomi. Now it works natively again
Just posting here in case others will miss this function.
So Xiaomi decided to leave out a core Android feature that was introduced back in Android 5 Lollipop.
The Ignore DND function.
Back even in the L days, you could use DND. And if you went into an app's notification settings, you could tick a box saying "Ignore DND". This gave Android an ultimate edge over iOS.
This option and function is present in Google, OnePlus, Samsung, Sony devices and many others. Even Huawei has it.
But Xiaomi's MIUI.
Why did they remove it? No one has a clue.
Will they add it back? Doubtful. It was missing in MIUI 11 already. MIUI 12 does not have it either.
I asked Xiaomi.EU but they have not replied. I don't think they can hack it back either - which is super sad.
Workarounds?
See just above, Mr. thecompany has posted a workaround.
I used this app myself: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nebz.alertify
Basically, it can be heavily customized what to watch out for (what notification) and it can create an alarm. The alarm DOES override DND and boom, you have DND override.
It worked reliably on MIUI 11 (Xiaomi.EU and normal) on my Mi Note 10 Pro.
Ps.: Now I am returning to Xiaomi with the Mi 10T Pro, so I'll keep looking at workarounds, magisk modules and other tricks.
I was waiting to get the OnePlus 8T, but the price, the warranty of Xiaomi has won me over.
Since my post is still relevant, here is an update: https://blog.agx.co/index.php/2020/...12-how-to-override-ignore-dnd-do-not-disturb/
Hello, can someone confirm please ? There is no way to hear any notification in DND mode ? On redmi note 10. thank you.

HI h8Aramex, the link to your update does not work for me. I am looking for an workaround to get my notifications working in DND as it would be great to have my security cameras working. TIA. I tried the Alertify and it does not support xIaomi.

Alertify works fine, but you must set it to Alarm, instead of Media in Settings.
Also make sure you disable all battery savings for the app.

Thanks for the quick answer. I tried it again and it worked!!! I tried for 3 hours last night and could not get it to work. then I found out on there site " does not work with Xiaomi phones" It turns out it does. Thats brilliant i do not have to redo my whole phone Thanks.
Alertify works fine for me for all apps but normal calls. For normal calls on the GSM network, it doesnt alert. My phone is on Miui 12.5. Has anyone else had this problem?

You mean DND? It is already like that. On Xiaomi, DND does not disable Media, and I can't find a setting to change that. I think Huawei had this toggle, which would disable media as well. But on Xiaomi, on my Mi 11 Ultra, I can't find it.

For normal calls, you can actually just open the Dialer settings. Go into the dialer, open settings (bottom left, tap hamburger button, settings), then Advanced Settings, then in middle Missed Called Reminders. You can set it to 10 times even.

I had to use MacroDroid too
Try "Sound Profile (Volume Control)" in Google Play. It allows you to add apps to the Notification Exceptions for each volume profile. It even allows parameters, For example only let sound emails form my boss and my coworker. Ignore the rest. Or only Whatsappa from my wife while at work.
Hallo all,
I own a GW4 Classic. I used to own the GW. During walking i used to have audio messages every 1 km with the GW. It would tell me my heartbeat, average speed and so on. With my new GW4 i can't get any sound out of it. Firmware version DUJA. All notifications, system, ringtone, audio, media and so on work fine. All settings are standard, i resseted the watch twice. It should work out of the box.
The audio Guide is on and i set the frequency on one min. for instance, start walking. After one minute, it vibrates with a black screen with green letters telling me the distance. Thats all.
I can not imagine it is a hardware problem? What do you guys think?

Can somebody do this test please, before i send it fir repair?
1. Select activity "walking"
2. Before it starts, press the "gear wheel" at the bottom for settings.
3. Audio guide should be on.
4. Pauze should be off.
5. Frequentie put on time : 1 min.
6. Go out of settings and let it go.
7. does it give you an audio update after 1 min?
Mine just vibrates with a black screen an green text with distance.
It would be nice if somebody could help me!
Greetings,
Frank

Interesting. I have used this when cycling, while connected to my Galaxy Buds+. I've never touched the settings, and it worked just fine. Actually glad to know that I can adjust it or turn it off. Might be an obvious question, but are you using headphones/earbuds? If not, you've no doubt checked the audio settings on your watch?

Thx for your reply. I do not use headphones. I checked all the audio settings and no luck. It should work out of the box. Thats why i reset the watch before. Sound should come out of the speaker of the watch without headphones.

Right, I see that now in your original post. I would suggest you keep playing with it, trying various options, settings, etc., and not send it in for repair (at least not yet). The feature works, and in my experience, this kind of issue is most likely not a repair issue, but a setting or system limitation issue.
I am trying for 2 weeks already. Deleted the apps completely. Deleted the plugins for the watch. Reset to factory 3 times. New firmware this morning. Twice contact with Samsung. I am completely lost.....

Deleted the apps completely? Isn't that a systems app?
Don't think so Samsung wearable is an Android app. Together with a plugin it connects to your phone thru BT. Then you have Samsung health for your fitness stuff and Samsung health monitor for ECG and Blood Pressure.
I deleted all, deleted storage and cache first. Like i said, if you delete all the apps, reset the watch, and do not roll back a backup, it should be as out of the factory. Connect to Wearable app, the plugin is installed and all should work as out of the box. Nobody complains about this "audio guide" feature, so it looks like it's only my watch which is faulty.
Would be nice if i got some feedback, if other people struggle with this feature.

Thx for your post. After your remark to not send it for repair i gave it another try. Reset the watch, installed the wearable app again without restoring a backup. Guess...... it didn't work. But then i restored my latest backup. It didn't work. Then i was goin thru all the settings and i noticed one setting i could try. GENERAL > INPUT > LANGUAGE. I was able to download a Dutch language pack. And you won't believe it, but it works. I am so happy. It cost me two weeks!

That's great to hear! I figured it had to be a software issue given that you know your hardware is fine (as audio is working), so glad you found it and sorted it out in the end!
Thank you!
Few days ago I have install last firmware (photo in attach) and now i have a same problem. Almost one year I used it for running (gw4), and after every km I got audio guidence, now I only have vibration, screen turns on for a few seconds but without any voice. Any idea how to solve this irritating problem? Thanks
For me it worked to change default language on my phone (and not watch) to english. Bad solution, but it is working
