Does anyone know how to activate the accelerometer when screen is off? I found out that the sensor works only when the screen is on in our device.
Doing this is possible but it would ruin the battery duration because of the wakelock needed. When on Deep Sleep the proc doesn't register events.

I suffer from the white screen issue whenever my phones into sleep.
I was wondering if there is anyway to lock the screen without it turning off?
Hi guys,
I've noticed that Tap2Wake function is just too sensitive. It doesn't use proximity sensor so my phone can be woken up even in my pocket. When this happen, it does some stupid things like launching walkman etc.
The only way I see to prevent this happening is to set different lock screen type (PIN, password or pattern).
Does anyone have any other ideas or solutions to fix that?
Yeah I just got this phone and was excited to use this feature but also found that it was turning on and activating random applications while in my pocket. I don't like enabling the lock screen so I'll need to come up with another solution. I turned the feature off for now. I'm going to play around with Tasker to see if it can control turning the tap to wake function on and off. If so, I'll have it turn the feature off whenever the phone is turned upside down (which it always is while in my pocket) if that's even possible.
As stated above. I have had it turned off since the first week. I keep the phone in my pocket and it will keep waking up, unlocking, and doing things including dialing people.
Maybe I have someone living in my pocket.
Any mod out there? Would like to use the feature again. In the mean time I have been using the led mod.
Ambient display uses the PROXIMITY SENSOR to decide if it should actually turn on. It will not turn on in your pocket.

I know but it still turns on. I do not know if maybe it happens in pockets with white lining or something. I kept getting pocket dials or on a website. Whatever always happens if I have it on.

if the conditions are met for the accelerometer to open the ambient mode screen then it will turn on for a split second before the proximity turns it off. I tested this by using an app that make the phone vibrate whenever the screen is turned off (Gravity screen) and putting a piece of opaque tape over the proximity sensor. Moving the phone to trigger ambient mode caused the phone to vibrate meaning there was a split second where you could theoretically interact with the phone which would cause it to fully wake up and the proximity sensor doesn't cause the phone to turn the screen off unless you're in a call.
Coincidentally Gravity screen does allow you to make your phone sleep using the proximity detector so it can also turn the screen off for you regardless of what is on the screen at any given time. Meaning it'll turn off the screen even if you or your butt is interacting with the screen. And it has settings for pocket angles or apps and whatnot to disable it so you don't lose your screen while watching a video or something.
See. I new there was a way. Thanks!
Is there something similar to tap to wake ?
I use gravity screen, works well enough.
True tap to wake requires hardware that supports it. The Fire does not seem to support it.
Note, gravity screen does not support any kind of tap to wake, nor the absent proximity sensor in the fire. It just uses the accelerometer to detect a change in orientation to wake the screen. I haven't really tested battery life before the app, so I can't really say how much it drains. Just that it works beautifully, I pick up the tab and the screen wakes, no need to hit the power button.
Now if there was only some way to disable the lock screen altogether...
my lock screen is disabled i am on cm12.
I will try gravity screen , thanks

Gravity Screen is a godsend. Battery drain in minimal with proximity sensors, might be more triggering off accelerometer. Actually improved battery performance on my mobile as it also blanks the screen when pocketing the phone. I rarely use the physical power button now except to reboot.
When taking picture with another phone, I noticed that there is a light blinking on my LG G4 when the phone is in sleep. The location is at where the proximity sensor is.
Does anyone know why the light is blinking? Assuming it is the proximity sensor. Why is it on when the screen is off? Is there a setting to turn it off?
Assuming that it is proximity sensor, you probably have 'knock on' setting that allows the screen to wake up when you double tap on screen while the phone is in sleep mode. With latest updates LG has disabled access to this feature through phone settings but if you search forums or Google, there is a way to access the setting and turn it off using an app 'quickshortcutmaker' to make a knock on settings shortcut then using it to turn off knock on.
