I have 2 potentially related questions about launching the Moto Camera app. After the Lollipop update, I haven't been able to use the twist/shake motion to launch the camera unless the phone is unlocked, and the screen is on. So if my screen is dark, or sitting on the lock screen, twisting my phone does nothing, except make me look stupid. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there any way to get this feature back?
Potentially related, the little camera icon in the bottom right of the lock screen has also disappeared. Other posts about other phones say this is related to the quick start settings in the camera app. In the Moto Camera app, the only option is the twist quick start on/off setting, nothing about the lock screen. Does anyone have any suggestions about this?
I'm having several other Lollipop related issues, so I may just reset my phone, and hope it fixes it... :fingers-crossed:
Replying to my own thread, in case anyone else has the problem. I wound up doing the reset, and it fixed both issues. Nothing else I tried worked.

Hi, I've started to have this problem yesterday afternoon and I don't know what to do.
Whenever I turn the screen on everything is distorted, with white and black lines going all across the screen. After putting the phone in sleep mode and going back to the lock screen multiple times, the screen fixes itself. When I look at the screen in landscape mode the same thing happens. I'm not sure if this is a hardware problem or something else because sometimes when I drag the notification bar down, that seems to fix the screen itself. Any solutions? I tried searching all over for an answer but couldn't find any.
Thanks.
bump..Someone help please?
Sounds like a hardware problem, loose cable of some sort I would guess. Try to wipe and flash any 1.6 roms to rule out the bad 2.1 rom. Not likely but worth a try.
Good luck.
I'm running 4.4.4. Rooted and unlocked.
This problem occurred before I upgraded.
When I call someone, the dialer screen immediately disappears and when I'm done with the call I usually have to press the power button 3 or 4 times to get my lock screen back. I have blue tooth for my hearing aids. When I use that, it doesn't disappear although after the call I need to hit the power button twice for the lock screen. I might have changed some settings inadvertently due to the screen changing when it sould have turned off. I think the blue tooth on my hearing aids is what activates the screens. I'm using Apex launcher. I have had my phone completely apart because of a plugged mic opening. I don't think this anything to do with the problem at hand, At one time on my phone I saw a setting someplace where I could end a call with the power button. Anyone know where that's at? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I might flash it back completely stock.

Do you have two dialer apps? I had a similar problem and the problem ended up being having the stock dialer as well as the google dialer installed.
I got rid of the stock dialer and then the problem went away.
Settings > Accessibility > Power button ends call (check that).
Do you have a screen protector? If misplaced, it may activate the sensor that turns off the screen when the phone is up to your face.

To anyone having this issue: I have seen this issue several times now with multiple members. I haven't seen a working solution yet except that a factory reset sometimes solves it, and flashing back to 100% stock as per the return to stock thread (in the General sub-forum) always solves it. I know it is often a pain to have to set everything up all over again, but it is the only solution I'm aware of.
Good luck
Yep factory reset was the only thing that fixed it for me

After the Lollipop update, I receive an MMS the notification shows on the lock screen as before. If I don't acknowledge it, the screen remains lit til the phone dies. The time out is at 30 seconds. I really don't want to do a factory reset of the phone... Anyone else had this issue and know of a fix yet? No fix for this, but the vibrate pattern for messages is gone. Now is just one long vibrate that is annoying. Why do they just take things out???
I had a similar issue in Kitkat. I don't remember how I fixed it but I do remember that it was related to smart stay and the fingerprint reader. I disabled both then enabled them or some sort of combination like that which seemed to resolve it.
The long vibration is freaking annoying. I want the shorter on back
Glad they give me plenty of things to try and fix.
Thanks for this post I'll keep it in mind.
Hi guys
Ambient display used to work for me and now seems to not ever show up.
I have a protector on the screen but it has a full cut away by the proximity sensor and so I dont think that is an issue. Also checked a sensor app and they are all working
I installed a notification app called edge colour notifications which I then removed. Issue seems to be timed with that but not sure.
Any ideas how to possibly get it working again?
Not rooted
Thanks

Since you're stock, you're kind of limited. Boot to recovery, select wipe cache, reboot.
Clearing cache didn't work but I think I figured it out.
I'm using a app called Automateit which runs phone actions off triggers. I turned it off within its settings and now ambient seems to work. Tested it twice now turning the app service on and off and seems to work. Hopefully that's sorted.
Have another strange issue as well where if I have screen lock enabled and reboot the phone, when it reaches the lock screen it goes into a weird loop on the lock screen and requires rebooting as you can't unlock. Have to reboot many times before it will let you in without this loop. Disabling the lock screen seems to stop this. Anyone else had this?
Hello all,
My screenshot gesture is not working. No matter how many times I knock against my phone screen, it doesn't take any screen shots.
I've tried disabling it and enable it again but it doesn't work. Restarted my phone also doesn't work.
Do anyone have any idea how to resolve issue?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Knock louder? Maybe they're out the back
Personally speaking, this knock things was some of the first I disabled in this phone... There is a pretty useful button in notifications shade, or you can use volume down and power.
if you have tempered glass installed, make sure it has no airlift inside, that will be the cause

I have the same issue. Not even one knuckle gesture is working. Does anyone have any solution to solve this?
