This is launched by an edge screen area. Don't know what it is or how to shut it off, it's very sensitive and opens all the time. Help!

Must be 3rd party. Never seen it. Could it be a feature of your launcher?
I run Nova launcher. Switched back to touch wiz and it was still there. I think it's been there since I got the phone. Turned off edge screen apps in settings, still there. Driving me nuts...
Found it! It's a beta option for Sesame Shortcuts that got activated on update.

Got my Gear Live yesterday. The raise arm gesture was flaky compared to my Gear 1 but it was no big deal. Today the raise arm gesture doesn't work at all. My Gear Live does not have notifications disabled. I've reset the Gear multiple times, uninstalled and re-installed the android wear software multiple times (cleared cache and data too) and made sure it was unpaired and re-paired on my phone. If my screen is set to off, it will never come back on unless I press the button or touch my screen. If my screen is set to always be on, it will stay in the lower brightness mode until I touch the screen or press the button.
It seems like the motion sensing or the gesture itself is totally broken after only a day. Anyone else have issues with the gesture? (flakiness or otherwise)

Mine works fine with always-on enabled. If anything it works too well. I wish I could turn the functionality off because my screen is always waking up when I don't want it to.
There were complaints that it was too sensitive, perhaps the latest update has toned it down a little too much.
You do now need a definite arm movement to make it come on.
Lift the arm and roll the wrist around towards you.

I've had mine since Monday and the gesture worked great. About half way through the day yesterday the gesture completely stopped working. I tried to reboot, factory reset but nothing worked. Eventually I held the power button down for about 10 seconds in order to bring up the power menu. Instead the watch just rebooted itself and after that, the gesture started working again. Weird.

No problem, glad I was able to help!
i've also found that it responds to the rolling towards your face more than the raising of your arm. (for me at least)

However, I thought the gesture worked better before the recent update. I don't KNOW that the update changed the gesture but it seems less reliable than it did when I first got the watch. Now I seem to get quite a few false activations and sometimes now have to repeat the gesture to make it switch on.
This is not a major issue, don't get me wrong.

Same boat (reboot, factory reset, etc). Held down for 10 seconds, it rebooted, and fixed!
The gesture does NOT work when the watch is on silent. This is most likely your issue.

This is correct - I just tested this with my Samsung Gear Live. If notifications are not muted, the 'lift arm and roll wrist' gesture will wake the watch.
This works even when the watch face is not set to 'Always On' in the Android Wear settings menu.
I come from the Gear Fit where you can switch off this automatic gesture completely. I hope this setting will show up within Android Wear soon. I drove with my car tonight and the watch was constantly waking up showing me the same card all over again and again while steering... Argh.
Is there some kind of patch or adb setting where I can change this?
TIA

I guess for the time being, you could just mute notifications while driving. Unless of course you want them to come through while driving.
My problem is it is too sensitivity.
Scratch my nose the watch wakes and this drains the battery
Hi friends !
Just received mine today, and released it on 4.4w1....But no issue to this fu...g problem of automatic switch on gesture !!!
Please Google, lesson to us !!
The store says to run it from phone or device. I ran it from phone and it says its activated and to just swipe from top left. i've tried that over and over with restarting my gear live and my note 3 and still doesn't work any tips?
Working flawless for me on Gear Live and Note 3 stock uprooted.
Swipe slowly on top left of screen to the right. Do it when the clock face is on and not google now screen.

I had to run the app on the watch manually for the first time (by activating Voice Input and scrolling down to "Start..." and choosing the app there).
After that swiping on the upper left does work well. Maybe that's it for you as well...

i had to do this as well
well for some reason it didnt like the watch face (one of the defaults) i changed it to another and it fixed the issue.
sensitivity / faster light on
Since I used the Mini Launcher I have got the impression that the sensitivity / reaction of the watch has changed.
Now it needs only little movement of the wrist half a turn and the light goes on.
It lights up much too often now.
Can the launcher be the reason or must it be something else?
No change after two resets.
Any ideas what to do?
Hello everyone, I have experienced this problem quite afew times already. All of the sudden, I would not be able to use the touch screen, and the blue box would appear and keep scrolling to different parts of the screen. I've attached the pictures below. Restarting the phone doesn't solve the problem. I'm not sure how it got back to normal again. Any clues on what is this problem?
I have heard that themes cause some sort of problems, are you using one?
Have you tinkered around with anything in the Development Settings? There is a setting that I'm sure shows you the areas that are being refreshed.

Hello, I'm using a theme currently. Using High_contrast_theme_II. I'll change the theme and see how it goes!
Thanks for your input!

That's the funny thing, I didn't tinker in any settings. It just randomly appears and randomly goes away.
Hi,
@xgsh, it looks like Voice Assistant? https://youtu.be/T-QgE4bT0c0?t=91
Take a look in Settings-> Accessibility-> Vision-> Voice Assistant and see if it's enabled, maybe in the other Voice Assistant settings.

Hello, I think it is something similar. But for my case I am not able to touch anything on the screen at all. It is like a screen freeze, And that blue box keeps scrolling.
Hello everyone, I have found out the issue already. It is under Accessibility > Direct Access. Apparently it is on. So if you have it on, pressing the Vol Up + Power button at the same time causes the issue above to happen.

Just for anyone coming in here looking to solve this as well: it might be the above issue, but also you may have Universal Switch turned on. Reboot your device, press the Home button three times (that should temporarily disable that pesky blue box preventing you from clicking stuff, and then go to Settings > Accessibility >> Dexterity and Interaction >Universal switch and disable it. You're good to go again.
Hello, really new to this thread. My Mi 8 is about 2 weeks old. So recently I noticed that the home button gesture doesn't work sometimes. I have to repeatedly swipe up from the bottom of the screen for it to work...also when pressing something close to the status bar seems to trigger the status bar opening animation. This happens only every now and then then. I'm on stock global rom everything locked nothing tinkered with at all. Anyone experiencing the same thing?

I'm talking about the home screen gesture.
Try to test if your screen has some issues, I don't experience any problem

You mean using the gesture settings, when you swipe from the bottom it will not go home (takes multiple tries)? If so, do you have a case or screen protector installed? The way you're supposed to swipe is pretty much from outside of the actual display, upwards, so if there is something interfering with this, or you're swiping from in the display, it may not work.
If not, then try using a touch screen test app such as Touch Screen Test from Google Play (developed by Siriuth). Touch the bottom area multiple times (swipe down, left, right, but not up as this may send you to the home screen of course). Swipe slowly to see the path properly. Does it skip at any section? If it does, touch in that area may be damaged. If this phone was purchased used or from a 3rd party seller, this may be why it is damaged.

Just tried it... Everything seems fine. But still sometimes it tends to require several tries for the gesture to actually register. I'm on global 10.2.3.0, could be a miui bug since this version is not the best. Also has battery drain problems. Could be fixed in the next update.

That's very odd. Does the oleophobic coating in that area feel worn or anything? Does the friction feel high? Mine never fails, not even to open the multitasker. Do you have "Double Check for Gestures" enabled? Try turning this off perhaps? The battery drain I definitely agree. I went from 7 hrs of SOT to less than 5.

I purchased new A71, it's screen gets on by itself after every one or 2 minute. I checked simply whatever possible. Any ideas?
Never had this issue but did you try tweaking AOD settings?

Already,,, no use.
Now safe mode tried and no screen wakeup.
It means some third party app issue.
I'm trying to figure out which app exactly.
I had this with my wife's phone.... Screen literally cam on everytime the phone was moved.... She has a flip case, which i assumed was the culprit, and i could see the screen pop on even if she moved the phone to one side a little...
I found the answer to our solution in the settings somewhere under advanced features/motion and gestures.... Untick all that lift to wake crap!
Screen stays off now until you press power button or double tap screen...

I tried the same already but problem was still there.
Since once I reboot into safe mode, there w no issue. then started apps one by one in normal mode,,,, now not facing issue. I suspect one or two third party apps. Still not finalised which app exactly as these apps got updated meanwhile.
Any way thanks,,,,
my issue already resolved.
