I saw there was a mod for the regular S4 that would allow you to disable the screen from waking when you receive a text, but is there anyway you can do this for the Active? I even tried that mod for the regular S4 and it didnt seem to work for the Active.
I mean, if AT&T insists on not letting the bootloader be unlocked, the least they could do was offer a feature that allows you to disable your screen from waking up when a text is received.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm not sure if it's just me... but I noticed the active display on my moto x (t-mo) is not active all the time. The good example is.. when the phone display is off (asleep) and you pick up the phone or move the phone, it is supposed to display the time and that pad lock - so you don't have press the lock key to get the time.
On my phone, that works for the most part... but after a while (and I can't figure out what is the trigger/cause), the active display would stop working. When that happens and phone display is off... i pick up/move the phone... screen is still blank. I now need to press the lock button on the side to bring up the unlock screen.
I did find that rebooting the phone will fix this. So, i want to see if anyone else is seeing this behavior, or if I should see about getting moto to fix/replace it - since I just received the phone yesterday.

Do you have a screen protector?
after asking on the moto support site.. the issue may be related to one of the apps. So, I unselected all but the messaging/mail apps, rebooted and things seem to be back to normal now. Make sure you uncheck the box that automatically adds the app to active display and pare it down to the essential apps that really need/use active display.
This may have been answered elsewhere , but I am coming from an S4 and I was wondering why my Droid Turbo when I pick it flashes the lock screen.
I have moto display turned on for notifications and I like that, I do not have the the wave/hand proximity turned on.
The phone will slide in the car seat and the lock screen will come on I pick it up and it flashes on. Then it goes on and I keep moving it around it will then flash back on again. Or every time I take it out of my pocket it comes on.
I heard something about Moto screens breathing or something.
thanks!

Moto Actions controls that. I actually like it because I can check the time just by waving my hand over the phone without having to hit a button. You could try disabling Moto Actions to see if that helps.

All the moto actions are disabled, I only have active display on to show notifications. The one where you wave to turn the screen on is not enabled
thx

Did you just turn off the settings or disable the app?

Here is what I see happening, if you turn on Moto Display to flash notifications, each time I just pick the phone or move it the lock screen and time flahes.
If I turn off Moto Display, no notifications flash and when I move the phone no lockscreen, no nothing.
Should be a way to see the notifications flash in and out, but not react to just moving the phone by flashing lock screen
thx
There are two separate apps in play here. Moto Display and Moto Actions.
Moto Display is what you want to keep active so that it will show you on the lock screen when you get a message, etc.
Moto Actions is what happens when you move your hand towards the phone.
If you go into your apps settings and manually disable the Moto Actions app. It will prevent the phone from flashing the lock screen when it detects movement.

I know,. all the Moto Actions are turned off, I only have Moto Display on and have chosen the apps I want to show.
Phone sits on the desk, for a few minutes screen black I reach over and pick it up lock screen comes on
I just restarted and no change
thanks
Do you have "Approach" turned off under moto actions? Cuz that's exactly what it sounds like you have turned on.
Sent from my XT1254 using XDA Free mobile app
Mine does the same thing it may be because the twist for camera is on? all other options are turned off (battery Saving)
Every time I move the phone the notification screen lights up but I noticed if you cover the proximity sensor on the top of phone it doesnt light up at all
Its part of the active display. It comes on when the phone is moved. I do wish there was a setting for it to only come on when you have a notification, but there isn't a setting for that that I know of. I know a lot of ppl like this "feature," but I do miss just the simple notification led.
i do not have approach or twist for camera on at all. I only have the notify on notifications.
phone sitting there , black screen just lift one side up and the screen comes on
Moto Actions/Moto Dispaly
Interesting thread because it illustrates the various preferences we all have in interacting with our phones. I think it's pretty neat that Moto developed these options despite the fact that I've turned off some of the features.
For example, I don't need it to sense my eyes, so I turned off that. I don't need it to turn on each time I wave my hand. It was turning on with shadows/sun/clouds while driving and anytime I'd move my arm. Don't like that.
What I do like is the intermittent notifications as well as the screen turning on if I move the phone. What we do with the notifications is pretty cool too. I like my Turbo Droid.
Cheers!

Seems to be some confusion in here.
Moto Display uses two methods to turn on the screen. It uses the phone's accelerometer to tell if you move the device. If you move the device at all, Moto Display will turn on. Only way to stop this is to turn off Moto Display.
The other method uses the front IR sensors to detect if you wave your hand in front of the screen. This method can be turned off within Moto Actions.
The screen constantly flashing (especially in the car) is annoying, but it has almost no battery impact.
That's what I was looking for, so it's the accelerometer making it come on as I don't have the hand activation turned on, I just have the moto notifications in Moto display turned on

Here is the right solution
Go to settings > App > In all app tab select these two app 1) Moto Display 2) Moto Action, now disable these both app and now the phone wont flash clock..
If you have RR Rom installed I think there is an option to turn on and off the hand wave and/or the "pick-up" sensing.
I found out how to stop the clock and battery circle when I move. You set it by just clicking the Moto app. And turn it off.
It's not done I'm settings. You have to open the app from the home screen.
Trust me, the thing blinking every time I moved when the screen was turned off was driving me nuts!
Hello,
I am facing a issue since 4 - 5 days in my droid turbo xt1254.
Issue is when someone calls me cell rings and vibrates but not shows the screen to pick up that call, to pick that call I have to press power button first then unlock screen and then finally I can pick call.
And sometimes it shows screen perfectly to pick call.
I have noticed that this issue occurs on all type of screen locks.
When I use my phone without any screen lock it works perfectly.
I have reset my phone but it didn't help issue is still same.
Currently my Droid turbo is on lollipop 5.1 su4tl-44 with locked bootloader.
Can anyone help me to sort out this issue?
Thanks.
i have also this problem with my droid turbo xt1254
Hi guys,
I am really enjoying my new S10+ just like many of us on this great forum. However, it has caught my attention that when there is an incoming call (when the device is locked), I have to unlock it with a pattern (my method of unlocking besides the finger print) before I can answer the call.
I don't remember that I have to do that on my Note 9, so I am just wondering if there is a setting that I can change to make it easier to answer calls when the device is locked?
Thank you for your input

You do not need to unlock the phone to answer your call. To Answer a phone call on a Samsung phone, you'll need to touch the Green Call Icon and drag your finger outside of the circle toward up. At least it works this way on my S10+.

It is weird that I see this whenever someone calls me
on phone setting, you can use volume up to answer.
I can't see any setting that would cause that. Odd situation indeed. What happens if you tap the "return to call" button without entering the PIN?
Also, just to make sure, you don't have a Bixby Routine set to do something when an incoming call comes in, do you?

If I tap on the "Return to call", it will let me see the normal calling screen without having to entering the PIN.
I don't use Bixby Routine at all, so it shouldn't be related to Bixby.
Every Phone calls need to unlock the screen before answering the calls
Hi All,
RE: Samsung Galaxy S10 plus.
My wife's phone needs to first unlock the screen before she is able to answer it.
I do have the same phone and I don't have to do that.
Where are the Settings to disable that behavior?
Thank you
DO NOT DISTURB MODE (DND)
By chance do you have this activated? When I changed the setting in DND to receive "Full Screen Notifications" I was no longer required to unlock phone to answer calls.
