After rooting my droid ultra i am not able to wave over my phone and activate my active display. I am not blaming the root because i have been playing with different xposed modules, especially gravity box. I guess i'm looking for someone to steer me in the right direction maybe to get it fixed without recovering using safestrap although i'm not sure if it was even working right after rooting. I really enjoyed this feature because i keep my phone on my desk. All other ways of activating are working as normal.
I have used App master to delete some of the bloatware, the modules i am currently using are GB, Xposed Call Blocker, Xposed Full Screen Call Picture, and Youtube Adaway.
thanks in advanced.
That was a feature?
As far as I knew it was activated by movement of the device, not by waving a hand over the screen. If I pick it up it turns on.

Yeah I'm not aware of any proximity sensor activation either.
As I recall, the prox sensor will keep Active Display from turning on (so, it won't show if it's in your pocket or turned face-down), but, I agree, I don't remember anything about waving activating it. It never does for me, on a stock unrooted Maxx.
Can anyone help.
I can't find the option to enable the double tap to wake the screen on my Xz Premium.
It's on my wife's Xz.
Thanks

Yeah, seems like Sony has removed that feature on XZs and XZ Premium
I hope they add it back. I wonder if it's something to do with the 4k screen? Does anyone know if it's on the z5 premium?

Hello dvdman2k,
Yes the double tap to wake is on the Z5P; however I found it something of a mixed blessing as was inclined to wake from unintentional screen touches while in a pocket (in the Style Cover SCR46 with the active window). Having just migrated to the XZP I'd noticed the feature's absence, but almost with some relief !
Regards,
Kevin
PS. Having now used the device for a week or so, I've changed my opinion. There are some occasions when the Double Tap function would be very good to have. Others when I'd prefer it turned off (eg. to prevent inadvertent activation while in a jacket pocket). So my conclusion is that I'd like to see the functionality re-instated in the ROM , but with a user-controlled toggle in Settings so that it is flexible to suit requirements.

Hi kevinpwhite
Coming from Moto Z I liked the feature where you could wave hand over the display and it would wake up & the finger. Print reader is on the front of the phone.
Sometimes I want to wake the screen without pressing the power Button.
Thanks

I have double tap to lock using Nova Prime as my launcher. I don't use double tap to wake even when available because too often the screen starts up when the phone is in your pocket. However, I do wish that the fingerprint reader would unlock the phone WITHOUT having to actually press the button in just like most fingerprint readers work. Maybe they could make it work this way? In fact I am sure they could because when you are setting up your various fingers for access you do not have to push the button in. In fact if you accidentally do push it in while registering your prints it will close the screen and you have to start all over. SO I believe they could make it live/active just like any other fingerprint reader. How do we actually get these requests to Sony directly? I also wish they would unlink the ringtone volume from the notification volume.
Things might change in the next update.

This is a mandatory feature for me. I won't buy a phone without it. In fact, I pretty much need to have lift-to-wake and/or some kind of always-on-display. Pushing a power button to turn on your phone is so 2015.

Per my earlier comments, I was initially slightly relieved after the Z5P's tendency to turn on when not wanted; however, have now revised my opinion and think it would be very useful - but needs a user-selectable toggle to suit circumstances. This approach has been mooted to the Developers on the Sony Forum (they've acknowledged) and there is quite a strong voice of similar views from other users. The more strength of feeling, the more likely the feature will be re-instated in a F/W update.... :fingers-crossed:
Best regards,
Kevin
if it really bothers you, you can just buy a roxfit urban slim case for it like i have. After using a xiaomi mi5 with tap to wake , its hard going back to the old ways lol, plus less pressing on physical buttons, the longer the hardware lasts!
please bring back
Try this to wake: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jarsilio.android.waveup&hl=en
Install Nova Prime for double tap to lock.
Works great. There are other apps that do similar things in the play store. YMMV
You can always buy the official case that has a screen unlock feature. Because of it I no longer see the need of double tap to wake but it would be handy to have. I am annoyed this feature is excluded though.
Any suggestion for a simple app to do the double tap wake/lock?
Ive been using https://kernel.andro.plus/yoshino.html for DTW
Of course you need a Unlocked Bootloader
Now I'm using WaveUp, it's not like the double tap but works well for both locking and unlocking. And it has a "pocket mode" for unlock the display when you take it out from your pocket, very useful.
Hey guys, I've been playing with the phones setup for a few days now figuring everything out and how it works, and I noticed the left fingerprint sensor isn't half as sensitive as the right one. Anybody else notice this?
I've tried setting up the sensors to be back on the left sensor and home on the right one and the home works perfectly, but the back on the left works only 10% of the time. (I am left handed so I try to use the thumb/left for back).. A software update will fix this I'm sure (If it IS software related, and not a faulty phone I have.)
I think I have this set up in the wrong section??? Moderators could you move it please if it is. Thanks!

Actually, my fp scanner are perfectly fast (and equal).
Try to remove both configurations or reset the firmware - it might be a hardware issue that requires you to send it back!
Cheers
Had anyone experienced their device being unlocked while in their pocket. Mine had several times, even some quick toggles have been changed from where I had them set. Apps opened, not just opened but digging into multiple button presses. Even today mi wife says I called her twice while phone in pocket. I use fingerprint security with pin backup and somehow phone is bypassing both of theses in my pocket. I've tried numerous times to replicate out of my pocket with no avail. I'm on stock TMobile no mods or rooted.

It happened many times for me.. you might be having Smart Lock enabled... even then, proximity sensor on OnePlus 7 Pro isn't good.. but disabling smart Lock should fix your issue
Yeah I checked and smart Lock has always been off
I encountered the same issue today

Weird. Do you have fingerprint lock enabled?
Yes I do. From what I can find on the web previous OnePlus devices had a Pocket Mode which is not present on the 7 pro. But viewing T-Mobiles website under settings list it shows it is in the utilities section under settings. But not on my phone. I even searched for it with the search option at the top of settings menu.
I've also noticed that in settings under utilities there is a section called app locker, when I click on it, it asks for pin and then just resorts back to the utilities menu giving me no option to add apps to list. It does nothing.

What Pocket Mode did (I had it on my 3T) was ignore screen touches, if the proximity sensor sensed an object nearby (assuming it was your pocket).
Even without Pocket Mode, a press on the screen, or movement of the gyro should only turn on the "ambient display" screen. You can't do anything from that screen except scan your fingerprint (which you confirmed you have fingerprint security enabled). So I'm puzzled how the butt dials or other things occurred in your pocket.
I suppose it's possible the power button is being accidentally pressed in your pants. Which brings up the lock screen - slightly different from the ambient display screen, as it gives access to the quick toggles, camera and voice assist. But it would seem like a strange combination of accidental power button pressing and screen touches happening in your pants, to make the things you mentioned happen. TWSS
Also the fingerprint is disabled whenever I take my phone out of pocket,It says too many attempts
Yes I also get that message

Got this very message this evening along with flight mode being activated. Pocket mode badly needs to be reintroduced by OnePlus
Can anyone who has converted to international firmware confirm that pocket mode is or is not present in the settings under utilities?

Why don't you put on your pocket with the screen facing outside?

Not to be found :good:
I've had the same issue, but temporarily solved or at least appears to have by turning off lift to wake
Never had lift to wake on as I assumed it would cause issues like this
Hey Guys what screen mode Do You use,I used Nature mode but it's on a warmer side & can't adjust sliders.Can I change through a custom kernel?
If you just look in the settings there is custom mode under natural that allows adjustment. Stock room stock kernel.

In advanced there is but nothing in nature mode
Is there a MOD or something to adjust the sensitivity of Quick Tap? The default setting seems to need too firm of a tap to activate.
TIA
Are you using a case?
Without a case, it works perfectly fine, with a case, try to tap as close to the camera bar as possible. Seems to activate easier, but could just be easier for me to deliver that THUMP because of leverage.

I do use a case, but its not consistent, sometime a light tap will activate it, sometimes it takes a second attempt or a firmer tap
