Hello everybody, I know that perhaps I'm asking a [email protected]@t but, well, I try...I'd like to know if it exists an app for my HD2 that allow to override the global settings for the turn off of the screen. I explain: I want that when the phone is non connected to PC or power source the screen turns off after 1 minute so I've setted in this way the global settings, but I'd like that when a specific program is running (for example PocketPlayer) the illumination of the screen turns off but not the screen itself. Of course after the mentioned app closes the global settings start tu rules again ... Am I really ask too much or does it exist something like that?
Thanks and regards
Andrea
I think for your request you could use the Proximity Sensor for Screen Off http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624206.
I use it, and when I have it connected to ActiveSync and I put my hand to the proximity sensor (next to the light sensor). The screen goes black, but ActiveSync remains running, so the device does not go in standby mode. I think that is what you need?

well, not actualy, I reliaze I have explained the question in a terrible way o ). What I need is an app that allows the luminosity of the screen to go off regulary but that doesn't make the screen turn off when some other specific applications are running.
But thanks for the information about Proxinity Sensor, it will become useful for me for another "thing"
Regards

I'm also looking for something similar, for example when i use iGo8 navigation the screen will turn off if I have not touched the screen for a while (most likely I've overlooked something in the settings though :$)
I think I have exactly what are you looking for.
As long as 'Screen Alive' runs, it overrides system settings and as the name says screen is always on.
When you close 'Screen Alive' then system settings are coming back.
I have it working perfect on my Touch HD.

I have a question, I like the Ambient Display feature on CM12.1, but the only thing that is bugging me is the screen will turn on automatically randomly (perhaps this is caused by "when the phone is picked up"). How do I disable the feature turn on the screen when the phone is picked up? It's very annoying.

You can't, that's an intended feature of Ambient Display.
whenever the phone is just resting on the table, it will randomly just up the lockscreen for a few seconds, then turn back off.
I do not use any auto brightness. anybody else experience this? It usually happens a few minutes after it's been used.
maybe notifications waking screen to remind you. maybe background app forcing screen wake. have you only noticed this after downloading an app . maybe try deleting recent apps and seing if it persists
i have not had this same issue but with same thing ......with auto brightness off..have you noticed while using it the screen dims. gets lighter? etc you can be on internet page and your screen goes much brighter? also sometimes goes dimmer?
i beleif it to be battery optimisation . or that turning off auto brightness doesnt really turn it off. or there is bug in software that does this.

It is quite possible that ambient display is the culprit. Look in display settings and see if it is enabled.
Hello, we understand your concerns about the display and its brightness. Here are some tips to correct your auto-brightness issue.
- Your phone will automatically adjust the screen brightness according to the ambient brightness. Clear the Automatic brightness check box to manually adjust the brightness.
- For sleep mode, the screen will lock automatically after a period of inactivity to reduce power consumption. Select Sleep to adjust the screen-off time or disable the automatic screen lock feature.
If the problem persists, try backing up your device and performing a "master reset". This should help correct any buggy issues you are having with your display. (NS)
You don't receive notification and it lights up randomly, right?!
Disable voice wake-up from Settings. The same thing happened on my P8.
So voice wake-up os begins this, I've never enabled it, I didn't thought about it

Still the problem exists. I mentioned already we have automatic brightness box unchecked and still the brightness changes.
If you're on MM try to rollback to LP

Try changing Power Plan to Performance if it is set on Smart.

A factory reset should solve the problem, if other solutions don't work
try enabling the power saving mode
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.
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.
