Lift wake

I just got the Moto X 2014 Pure Edition. I like Moto Display, but I do not like how the active display wakes ever time I lift the phone.
I already disabled the Approach for Moto Display.
How can I disable lift wake?
Thank you.

No.

If you've taken the lollipop update then turn on ambient display

Just ignore it. It uses minimal battery. Android remains in deep sleep when active display is displaying.

Thank you all.

[Q] Pickup/tap to wake like nexus 6?

Is it possible to make ambient display wake like on nexus 6? Not moto display, but ambient b/w display on touching or picking up?

(Maxx) On Lollipop, you can disable moto active display and use the built in ambient display instead.
(Turbo) You have to wait for Lollipop.

Maxx lollipop ambient doesnt have "pick to wake"

Sorry, but my question was about nexus 6 "pick the phone to wake the screen" function.
I know about ambient displey. But, when you take moto maxx nothing happens. You have to press power button . On the nexus 6 ambient display you take the phone, like moto display, and it turns on!
So, how to add tap to wake or pick the phone to wake function on maxx lollipop ambient?

I use Auto Screen On from Play store to wave over the sensor to turn on phone. I prefer Nils Lockscreen notifications to the limited Moto display. Uses some battery but what the heck since we got 3900 mA.

Disable Moto Display awakening with vibrations?

Exists a way to disable the Moto Display of awakening with vibrations?
Any little vibration on the desk makes the moto display to awake, it is annoying me.

Unchecked vibrate on touch under moto display
Sent from my XT1097 using XDA Free mobile app

What I mean to say is, my phone is in a desk, then a small vibration like putting my elbow in the desk, makes the Moto Display to awake.
It's annoying because I have to look to the phone to check if is not an message, and is not, just the super sensitive Moto Display.

Go into the app drawer and you will see the Moto icon. Touch that to open it then up at the top is a gear touch that. You can turn off active display entirely by touching display and unchecking moto display.
You also can try turning off Approach for Moto Display in the Actions to see if that helps if you don't want to turn off the moto display entirely.

I already had tried that, but I it only makes me lost the approach to awake. It continues to awake with vibration, but way less.
I wanted the Moto Display to have the approach but not the vibration sensor.
I've had searched for a service for disable but to no avail.
Hummm, maybe with xprivacy...

Notification LED vs Ambient Screen

I am thinking about buying a Nokia 7 Plus but one thing is really bugging me.
I am currently using the OnePlus 2 which has a Notification LED and I have gotten quite used to it and I'm not very happy to give it up. The Ambient Screen might be an alternative for me but one thing about it is bugging me. It takes advantage of the face that OLED screen don't use any power to display black. But the 7 Plus uses an LCD.
So how much of a battery issue is using the Ambient Screen with this phone?

the Nokia 7 Plus does not have a always on display. the screen lights up if you get a message or pick up your phone

Yes like what they guy above said and the battery usage is minimal at best

You will get used to live without that led. It took couple days to get used just take phone to hand and it'll show you your notifications.

I agree. I do not miss led notification that much either. I used to have Huawei P10 before with a tiny led which was in fact unusable in daylight anyway, therefore I find picking up this Nokia phone to hand shortly more than I liked the crappy led on P10.

Is it any specific movement of the phone that will make the screen come on? Does it happen when walking for instance with the phone in your pocket?

yes, the phone needs to lay down on a table frist and you need to lift it up. The screen lights up then.
I doubt this happens when the phone is in your pocket.

if you walking without somersault then ambiend is not activated
is need specific movement, from desk pick up to face, or from pocket to hand, in fact needed moving about 90 degress

The phone uses the proximity sensor with the ambient display, so if phone is in pocket, then it won't be activated unless you pull it out of your pocket, and it doesn't need any specific movement, any movement will trigger it on

you're right... then is also possible walk with somersault

but this is not true, if you take out phone from pocket/case with movement only in one axis, then ambient is not activated...

Does it have the feature like the moto display, where you can wave above the screen to make ambient display light up and show notifications without touching the screen?

No it doesn't unfortunately – and this feature was borrowed from Nokia on the glance screen introduced in the WP8 era. I was too looking for a comeback on my Nokia 7 Plus.
On a side note – any possible hack to have this ambient display always on? My Lumia 1020 has an LCD screen and has glance screen that can be configured to be always on, so it's not technically impossible. It just consumes more battery, but I like to see the notification status and the clock at a glance without having to touch or hover anything.

wait to end(?) of august for P upgrade, in P DP4 this feature is already native (btw:i have DP4, but not enable this, then not know what this drain battery)

Question Screen Switching on from lock screen automatically

Hi,
I've noticed the screen automatically turns itself on and the sensitivity is too low (tuning on to often). It's almost as though all I have to do is walk past, or wave my hand near by to the phone and boom the screen tuns on! I don't really like how sensitive it is.
How do I adjust the sensitivity so it doesn't turn on so easily?

Please send Motorola feedback under system and also in the Moto app + play store review to try and get them to add some more options / toggles to Moto peek (Moto display).
Motorola should be ashamed of the current Moto peek it's such a mess. This stupid movement thing you mentioned and the fact it cannot even show the notification content coming in without having to hold the icon down.
It is the worst thing about the phone by far.
To top it off if you disable it you can no longer get notifications on your phone or use double tap to wake.
A third party app called glimpse notifications fixes the notifications coming in but the double tap to wake is not possible to hack back.
You can use a proximity sensor wave app to restore a similar function but it's not as good.
