Z2 stock, unrooted. When you place the phone face-down on a flat surface, the screen locks after 5 seconds. Is there any way to disable this behaviour?
This is a problem if I'm listening to podcasts in bed at night. I put the phone face down so the screen light doesn't bother my partner, and the audio playback stops because the screen has locked. Intensely annoying and renders the phone unusable at night.

Hi. Lay something over the Display and not the Display face down. The video stops because of the "position sensor" (don't know if this is the correct english word, in german it is called "Lagesensor"). So face down stops it. But face up and put something on the Display don't stop the video.
May be this is a little helpful.

Is there a way or an app in which you can watch a video thru hdmi with the screen off?
I'm looking for a solution also. I thought my prime would be able to replace my media player but when the screen is always on it's terribly distracting, even if the background is black.
Screen off puts it to sleep. As far as I know there's no workaround.
But if you use dice player every video I've tried has used hardware decoding and gives you the black screen. Helps on battery as well as not being distracting. Swipe down to decrease brightness on the black screen even further. Doesn't affect you're actual brightness setting.
My tablet screen goes into a sleep mode after minute. but continues playing video. I also have it plugged in. I was using the crunchyroll app so I don't know if it will work for other apps. My best guess would be go into settings and click on display and adjust the time till the screen turns off. The last thing is you can just close the prime if you have the keyboard station or just flip it over so the screen is faced down.
I don't mind the screen on but would like if off to save on battery.
when i use the stock HTC music player, while in a charging car dock, the screen still dims. i have it set to stay on while charging but it still dims without turning off completely. this is annoying because it makes it pretty much invisible with sunglasses on. anyone know how to fix this? there appears to be no settings for the music player itself that i can find
I just got my LG G Watch yesterday, and I noticed last night when you leave it with the "always on" option where it dims the screen way down, that in the dark I can see the screen flickering. I tried all the different brightness levels in Settings to see if that would change it, but does not. Can anyone else confirm this? You'll have to get in pitch black environment to see this.
Also, is there a way to turn off the "shake n wake", where it turns the screen on from motion? I tend to sleep with a watch on, and noticed this watch is very sensitive to (or that I flop around like a fish when I sleep.. that's possible too) motion, and I'd rather be able to set it in "touch to wake" mode.

I haven't noticed any flickering on mine, but I may just not be as sensitive to it. You can disable the 'wake by motion' function by muting the watch. (Pull down from the top of the screen)

Thanks for the tip on muting to stop the motion sensor from activating the watch. I find it very sensitive and just sitting at my desk working tends to make it constantly wake up. Muting also turns off vibration so I miss when a notification comes to the watch. Maybe in an OS update or possibly a Developer will enhance the settings so you can still get vibration alerts, but turn off motion wake.
Hello,
My second screen doesn't turn off when my phone is put in a pocket, or when turned upside down. I checked proximity sensor and it's working fine.
What can I do apart from wiping everything?
Thank you?

I have the same problem. It's like swiping to other sides and activating the flashlight, turning on Wi-Fi, changing sound profiles and most annoyingly, pausing music and changing music. Is this a hardware problem? And I had a similar issue with my G3. Maybe we need to calibrate our proximity sensor.
Proximity sensor is working strange. Sometimes it's working fine and the screen is closed during the call when phone is near ear.
Sometimes, the screen don't goes off when the phone is near ear and sometimes during call the screen goes on.
Is this fixed in any of alternative ROMs? As this is really annoying, as you clik on screen with your face...
Before I have Huawei and Redmi and was working fine...

Realme uses in display proximity sensor which is much more difficult to implement in custom rom.
