disable proxomity sensor - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I replaced display of my Moto X2 and now proximity sensor is not working. Is there a way to disable it? I could not find option on phone. Does any custon ROM allow to disable this?

I used this before replacing my X 2014 with another x 2014.

[Q] G Sensor Calibration Setting Gone!

Hi. I got the MIUI ROM for my phone. I didn't really notice the G Sensor Calibration Setting was missing. When I went to calibrate my phone because I needed to, it was gone! Is there a fix for this? Preferably just a kernel that would take a few minutes to do. Thanks!

Wave-to-Wake feature?

Will the nexus 6 have wave-to-wake feature like the Moto X 2014?
If not by default then is it possible that it can have this feature in future by any means??
No, it does not have it by default.
There are apps that can use the proximity sensor with older phones to wake it up, so I imagine that at some point, yes, it will be possible to replicate the Moto X wave-to-wake feature via app.

Ok.. I hope it does happen...
I use this this feature frequently on my Moto X 2014. I will definitely miss it if I get a N6.
Here's the app I use on my Nexus 5. Assuming there aren't any issues running it under Lollipop, it has a setting that wake the phone with a wave. However, I'm not sure whether it will FULLY wake the phone, or let you just activate Ambient Screen. Maybe contacting the dev, and requesting an Ambient Screen setting would help.
Gravity Screen - On/Off
It wont by default - it is a moto specific software feature.
Begging or hoping it is added will do nothing, as the nexus is from google OS wise, and moto hasn't added that specific software (or hardware, see below) to it like the moto X.
Your best hope is 3rd party app that can give that capability, however that said, the phone would have to have the IR sensors like the X in order to detect the handwaving, which AFAIK it doesn't have.
Is this the same feature found in the note 2?

All modern smart phones have proximity sensors though, and third-party developers have tapped into those. The trick isn't the detection, it's the activation of Ambient Screen without fully waking the phone.
For instance, the Gravity Screen app I posted earlier will wake my N5 with a wave over the screen just perfectly, but it FULLY wakes the device. If they can alter that to give the option of waking the device, or only activating Ambient Screen, then it would almost perfectly emulate the Moto function.

[Q] Wave to turn on display lollipop feature.

Looking on youtube I found this video about the hand over function on moto x being disabled on lollipop. Is that true? There are english captions on the video.
It was changed so that now you have to hold your hand over it for a few seconds.
It can be returned.. But not the same as on 444
Or you can just import profile and task to Tasker from attachments.
Also i write instruction for it (but on Russian lang)
The entire reason it was changed was because the device was supposed to know when it was being turned over, or removed from your pocket, with he Nudge To Wake feature being used for when it's on a tabletop.
It never was a feature to begin with, it was a bug due to an overly sensitive proximity sensor that began when they released 4.4.4. (It did not exist in 4.2, or 4.4)
The original intent was to detect when the phone is removed from your pocket or flipped over (when laying face down) Nowhere did Motorola list this as a feature on the original Moto X.
This was a feature added to the Moto X2, because the Moto X2 has IR sensors on the front that the original Moto X does not have.
It now works as intended.

Retrofitting fingerprint sensor?

What is the possibility of doing so? No with 6.0 supporting it, and the moto x dimple supposed to have been one with connections there, does anyone know if and what would be necessary?
A fingerprint sensor designed to be there, and coding to make it work

Question regarding Moto Display

Hi fellow members of the community. I just got my new Moto X4 Motorola Edition (?) and I was wondering if I can have the Moto Display turn on periodically when I have a pending notification. I'm not always near my phone so if I miss the display turning on I have to actively look at it. Do you have any workaround for this? Maybe the Moto App is optimized by Android so it behaves this way? Thanks!
