Screen activation - Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers

I'm new to MIUI. For the love of god, can someone tell me how to stop the screen seemingly turning on at random when I move the phone? Wake on lift is off.

That should of sorted it.
Only other ways to wake the screen would be DT2W, and notifications.

Thanks. It's not the only problem I've found so far with 10.0.8.0. Can I safely update without affecting the unlock countdown which I've already started?

Yeah for some reason the double tap is super sensitive and will wake the screen in ur pocket too. I've had to disable both and then I don't have an issue. I also don't use ambient display or wake screen for notification

I have DT2W and RTW both turned off, and the thing is still waking up every time I breathe near it.

It appears to be the fingerprint sensor, the slightest of touches is enough to turn on the screen, even though I don't have a screen lock on.

How to unlock screen without having to press the power button?

is there any way to unlock the phone without pressing the power button or double tap to wake? it's like just rest your finger in the sensor and the screen unlocks.
This behaviour is currently in HaoZeke's LineageOS. I'm looking for a way to disable it since it will unlock my phone while putting it in my pocket... Wanna trade ?

I use a xposed module for that, [LL-MM]Enable Ambient Display - Xposed. Just install it and enable the option Activate doze with proximity sensor.
When you get the mobile out of your pocket, will turn on the display and it would be ready to use the FP reader.

That would drain the battery. Is there any way without ambient display?

It doesn't cause battery drain, my battery duration is almost the same with that module enabled.

[Request] Lift to Face Unlock

Face unlock currently requires a double tap, which is annoying because it doesn't work half the time
Even though they are trying to fix this in the next update, a better implementation would be when you raise the phone, it shows the lock screen (not ambient display screen), and simultaneously turns on the front camera to face unlock your phone
Gravity screen can do this, but requires a heavy wakelock to do so. Using the same 'raise to wake' method as ambient display [which seems to work without a heavy wakelock], but then showing the lock screen instead of ambient display, should achieve this
I would LOVE this feature, it would be a complete game changer!!
I use gravity screen and don't lose much battery
Use the power button since it's more reliable anyways ?

There's still a fair amount of battery loss. Oneplus raise to wake seems to be able to do the same action without any battery loss
This was so fine on Op5 and 5T. Open Beta, of course!
Update: I've installed the wave up app. It basically wakes the phone when proximity sensor is uncovered
So when I take the phone out of my pocket, it authenticates my face automatically and unlocks, in a split second. I don't need to touch anything
Similarly if I keep my phone face down on a desk (not ideal), when I flip it over to look at it, it unlocks.
No messing around with d2tw which is more like quadruple tap to wake since this functionality is broken

Hi i use the original flip case from OP and as soon as i open my case door it unlocks witch is very easy and convenient.
Shall check with tasker.
Update: could not succeed.
I face no trouble in dt2w it wakes as it's intended to and unlocks with face within a split second, face unlock has become slower since the 5.1.9 and in dp3 but still fast enough
If my hand is dirty i just say Hey or Ok google.
Agree. it would be a great thing

Double tap to wake working?

I got my OP7 Pro today. Double tap to wake with screen off doesn't seem to work. Anyone know what the secret is? What am I missing?

You have to turn it on in display settings under ambient display. It's turned off by default, or at least mine was as well as pickup to show.
None of my screen off gestures are working...

I think he means the feature is broken. It's not working for a bunch of us after the day-one update. It works when it wants to. OnePlus has done nothing to fix this and I'm just about ready to get my money back. Just because it's working fine for you doesn't mean we're doing something wrong.
Yeah, lock screen gestures and single/double tap don't work on the latest update, but I believe they're working on fixing it, going through repro steps right now according to their bug page. I'm sure it'll get fixed soon, and it's not a make or break issue to me by any means.
What version are you guys on?
I'm on oxygen 9.5.5 T-mobile gm1915 not having any issues.
I came here to find this out. It's works randomly.
I don't know what I did, but it is working now. I have rebooted twice and it has persisted so +1 on the issue being random. I more wanted to know if others were experiencing the same behavior. Thanks for the replies!
Having tested this, It works randomly during low light situations, and all the time in normal/extreme light situations, such as outside in the sun or in a bright room.

Yup. This is my issue.
So my double tap to wake completely stopped working. Single tap doesn't work at all either. Not happy at all right now. Completely stopped about a half hour ago. Reboots fix nothing.
Got my phone yesterday and rooted 10 min after opening it and took update to 9.5.3. no issues at work double or single tap to wake. Used it all night setting it up and playing with it. Lit room or dark. It's been pretty consistent so far. There is an occasional time I have to tap a second time but still work on the 2nd try.
Not sure why it's random like that. Only thing I can think of is after the update... Did any of you do a factory reset? Maybe some reminant install files are causing some issues

In developer options you have to turn on oem unlocking and USB defining. Have ADB and fastboot SDK installed on PC. Then while in the bootloader type... Fastboot oem unlock.
To root you need Magisk. Follow this thread

The people here saying that it has to do with light are right. I have tested this myself. Even in fairly lit rooms, if the light isn't shining directly on the ambient light sensor, Ambient Display, double-tap-to-wake, and lift-to-wake are all completely disabled. If you shine a flashlight on the light sensor, they suddenly become available. This means that if you aren't using the phone in broad daylight or VERY well lit rooms, you have to hit the power button. Aside from the inconsistency of functionality that creates, I haven't used a power button to wake my phone in 3 years. I certainly hope they plan to fix this soon, as I'm of a mind to return the phone right now. This makes it very annoying to use on a daily basis for me. I keep my house fairly dark at night when I'm watching TV.
For some reason, OnePlus has it using the ambient light sensor rather than the proximity sensor and/or gyroscope for these features. This is not how it should work.

But it seems it's different from device to device ? Double tap to wake, the lift feature and the only one tap to activate ambient light works in all light conditions for me.
Just a thought....is there an option to avoid accidental touches when in a pocket? This might explain why it works in well lit rooms and not in dark rooms.

Yes! That reproduces the issue exactly for me. I am sure this is not the only one, but this thread on OnePlus support forums reports the issue.
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/oneplus-7-pro-ambient-display-not-working.1034009/
You can see users reporting the problems inconsistency, and OnePlus seems to acknowledge the problem and they are "looking into it". Please go add your feedback as I am sure the more people that complain, the higher priority the bug will become.

This is where the inconsistency of the issue occurs... I am in my office which is lit the same way each day since I got the device (low light). The off screen gestures magically started working about 6 hours after I got the phone and were working up until this morning. Put the device close to a light source while the screen is dark, and you will see it wake up with no interaction with the screen. Screen off gestures work while in that lighting. I forced closed, cleared storage/cache of the Ambient display service and my phone now works in all lighting. It is almost as if the sensor becomes stuck in 'pocket mode' or something like that.
I noticed some funny:
Which cases are you using?
I was with the one in the box until now and everything worked fine (ambient display, double tap to wake, one tap to show fingerprint, wake when lifting up the phone,...). I'm with the Nylon case since a few minutes and since then the ambient display won't work anymore.
Maybe there's something related?

Yes, you're totally right! I tested it! When light is shining on the display, my tap gestures will work again. I forced closed and cleared storage of ambient display but unfortunately it doesn't change my current situation, at the moment it won't work... ?
I can confirm this as well. In dark or even dim rooms, I must use the power button to turn the screen on, in well lit environments, I can use tap to wake. Hopefully this can be fixed in an upcoming update.

Question Wrist detection off?

Is there any way of disabling wrist detection? I'm having issues with it and the best solution would be disabling it.
Do you mean, disable the lock pin after taking off the watch from the wrist?

I mean that when the clock doesn't recognise wrist it turns off always on display and doesn't vibrate from notifications etc. I've heard that older models had a toggle to choose if the clock tries to recognise wrist or not. Detection is not working properly because of tattoos.

I have a similar problem but mostly because I have to wear the watch a little less tight than it wants. So the AOD is a little unreliable. I don't think there is a way to turn wrist detection off or make it less (or perhaps more) sensitive. At least not in the UI- I wonder if there is a setting that could be tweaked through ABD?

No, he is talking about wrist detection. When it thinks it is off your wrist, it stops notifications and AOD automatically.

Yes exactly. I was also wondering if there would be some adb command or modded file that would enable or disable this. I really don't care about heart rate monitor etc but notifications and aod are essential.

Question Double tapping on screen to see the screen not always work on Goggle Pixel 7 Pro.

Hey guys,
I don't know if it's only with me or with everyone.
Most of my attempts to try and see the screen on is not work with the 2 tapps to wake the device.
Anyone else is having this?
Thank you
Has been working fine for me on both the Nov and Dec update
It's 1 tap only here and works flawless for me...
It happens to me every so often. On November firmware at the moment. Most of the time it works.
Mine also works "most" of the time. I find that in the evening when there is less light shining on the screen due to the chair I sit in that after several minutes it may not work. However, during the day I can leave it sit just as long but it always works because the chair I sit in during the day has a lamp right next to me and it shines on the phones screen. So I have unscientifically come to the conclusion that when the phone is in a darker environment it goes into a deeper sleep, whereas when it sits in the light it wakes up much easier. YMMV
is there any way to enable a double tap to sleep ?

Yes...if you're willing to use Nova Prime as the default launcher. I use it on all my phones and it has exactly what you're looking for PLUS...PLUS it allows you to remove from your home screen what is to me a useless feature...the unremovable Google search bar!!!

Yeah use Aosp mods , there's an option for statusbar double tap to sleep or on the lock screen
