Anyone else having issues with the sensors and the moto display? I tend to see it turn on constantly especially in my car, not sure if the street lights are triggering it or that its motion sensitive. Is it supposed to be motion sensitive? I've realized just pushing the phone or shaking what its sitting on turns it on.

That's the point. Any time you move it or act like you may be trying to turn it on it shows moto display. Old X did this too. You do realize it uses like, no battery to show this, and this is the entire point of active display?
The notifications "breathe", too, they turn on and off regularly by themselves.
Gotcha, didn't realize it was sensitive to all motion, just thought the wave over it, the twist to turn on the camera, and just for notifications.
It is a bit disconcerting at first. I have to fight my instinct to worry about the battery and keep very still around the phone to avoid waking it up.
But I guess if it really does consume very little power I should learn not to worry about it.

On my Nexus I use a bluetooth headset and sometimes when someone text me while I am talking and try to reply, I can't because the screen keeps turning off.
IS there a way to avoid this? I love multitasking LOL!
I guess I am the only one having this issue?
Proximity Sensor?
If you are texting in landscape, you might be covering the proximity sensor. And kudos on your multitasking prowess, i will never have your issue...I'm not that talented
my screen seems to randomly turn itself on and off during calls and I sometimes press a few buttons and even close the call. and it's a bit embarrassing to admit that my phone has a problem. does anyone have a fix for it? I'm currently on jpk
end calls should not happen
the proximity sensor automatically turns off the screen to prevent accidental touch to the buttons
it takes about 1/2 second to react
if you talk normally it should never light up for you to accidentally touch the buttons
but if you keep checking why the screen is on/off on/off
that will drive the screen / sensor crazy
it was like that for me the first day
i was rather annoyed that the screen always turned off, i wanted to disable that feature, but now that i got used to it i find it rather useful to prevent accidental drop calls
personally i browse and write notes a lot during a phone call to look up info and take down customer orders
so having the screen on/off automatically was a pain in the royal highness, but i found a great solution
switch to BT headset whenever i need to check for info and browse on the phone, then it wont go on/off automtically as it's not near my face
thanks for the info!
This is a very common problem caused by positioning sensor overriding proximity sensor when the phone is placed horizontally or close to it. So if you tilt your head during a call the screen will turn on and you could disconnect/place on hold etc. I saw this feature/feature was fixed for other devices by adding an option to disable positioning sensor in calls (changing dialer.apk file), but could not find anything for i9000

So does anyone else have this issue... when I have smart display on and put my phone in the cup holder of my car, the screen never turns off.... it thinks I'm holding the phone...
As it uses the motion sensors, this should be normal. Standing upright and moving makes it appear to be in active use.
Hi, I'm running on Epic Global ROM 8.2.1.0, and I have an issue that just started a few days ago. Anytime my hand passes in front of or over the top edge of the screen, the screen goes black, like the proximity sensor is kicking in. It's very annoying when playing games or watching videos. Is there a way to lock it down so that the proximity sensor only works while on a phone call?
I know I experienced a similar difficulty when using Telegram. I began playing a voice recording, but didn't finish it, so whenever my hand was around the top portion of the screen, it turned off and moved to the earpiece etc. Check whether you have anything that is proximity-activated in the background.
I noticed that whenever I make a phone call, I have to actually press my S10 on my ears in order to make the screen go off. It never happened on any of my phones. I also did a Sensor test with an app and it also showed me that I have to press on the upper screen instead of just floating above it.
Anyone else? Or may I have a faulty device?
I have been wrestling with Samsung and Runtastic about the proximity sensor, which no longer works on my S10 for doing push-ups. It seems that the sensor is now under the screen, and is only made active when a phone call is on. This is probably why they are having issues with the phone coming on in people's pockets. The most interesting thing is that when you do a *#0*# diagnostic and press the 'sensor' button, the proximity sensor does not even appear. On my old S7 you can cover the proximity sensor with your hand and it will vibrate and the screen will go green. Seems to be crippled functionality and a poor call from Samsung if that is the case.
Im on the opposite side.. When im making a call, a put the phone away from my ear and the screen does not turn on. Im pressing the power button to turn on the screen.
Mine when I finish the call I ended in the search for Bluetooth devices with Bluetooth on or in some cases on the call screen but with the key numbers enabled and some numbers typed, that's very annoying, even when I press the phone to my ear.
I'm using with the free case on the box maybe I will try without the case and see if the problem still there.
My model it's s10e exynos
Yeah, something is wrong with it. My screen goes dark almost immediately during phone calls, even when it's sitting on a table using the speaker. I have to press the power button to turn the screen back on each time I make a call.
Yah. When I pull the phone from my ear my screen is always black. So I have to wake the phone.
since the last update (March 1st, 2020) I've noticed that the little proximity sensor light above the battery percentage is lighting up A LOT. Is it doing this for anyone else??
