Pausing Music feature on Galaxy Note

I was watching a video on youtube on some features on the galaxy note. One of the features was being able to pause music by placing a hand over the proximity sensor. I can't get it to work on my Att Galaxy Note. Is this feature only for the International version?

Maybe a motion control option?

Tried it. No luck.

I think some of those hand controls might have been turned off in ours. I also haven't been able to replicate the hand swipe from left to right for the screenshot that they were showing off on the International version.
Sensor music player even changes to next so ng by waving your hand over theb phone ...or shake.....the native software would pause the music when you flip itbover......feature is on settings and motion

Enable motion control and you can silence music (pause?) by flipping the phone over in the Samsung (not Google) music player. It's gyro based, not prox based so brushing your hand over the front won't do it.
@inconceivable, left to right swipe screenshot does work on ours. Swipe different? Use the side of your palm. The only difference is it doesn't open up the editing window like it does with the pen.
Cant get this to work. It is enabled in settings.

My problem is trying to get youtube to NOT pause/stop when I go to the homescreen and other applications. From what I've been told, it's impossible. Is that true?

Use the side of your hand like a karate chop, and then slide it across the screen from edge to edge. I can confirm that it works on the AT&T version.
Ok i guess the US version. Doesn't have the pause music by covering with hand feature. But the motion feature did work when turning the phone over which isnt convenient. The international version has two features that i wanted, video editing and pause music feature. I can confirm the karate chop swipe screen shot worked after a few tries.

I just got my Note Sunday, and the left to right hand sweep works perfectly right out of the box. Hmm now why is it not working for you.
I finally got it to work! Looks like the US Version has the feature. While playing music from your player, have your hand flat down on the screen and it should pause the song until you release it. The motion setting doesn't need to be on for the feature to work.

pausing doesn't work with other players only stock

Ambient display question

Is there a way to change the ambient display to come on whenever you wake the screen, then you have the choice to show the lockscreen?
I would love this feature on my phone

How to turn off wake up by motion detection

Hi,
I have a very annoying feature on my Moto Z. If the motion sensor detect movement, the screen turns on for 1-2 sec. I tried to turn it off, but can't find option for this. After searching for the issue I found suggestions to disable it with Moto app, but I can't find option under Actions with the latest 7.1 android version. I have only this options:
- double karate chop for torch
- twist for quick capture
- swipe to shrink screen
- approach for moto sdisplay
- Attentive display
- Pick up to stop ringing
- Flip for DND
I prefer non-rooted stock rom solution.
Thanks,
Easiest way is completely disable Moto Display (Moto apps > Display > Off). But of course you will not be able to use "Approach for Moto Display" as well.
Thanks! It's working fine. If you found a solution to disable this motion feature only, it would be perfect!

in the moto actions app, deactive the "approach for moto infos" feature
now you can have moto display - but it´ll only be activated by new notifactions
instead of activating through the motion sensor

Thanks. Confirmed it is working as intended in the original post.
They should just make it as an option in Moto Display ?
