Gestures with the screen off stopped working - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What's up XDA,
I have a OnePlus 3. Recently my screen-off gestures stopped working. (2 fingers to pause, V for flashlight, < and > to skip tracks). I think it's because of a newly installed application Naptime, which triggers aggresive Doze when screen is off. Is there a way to whitelist the gestures?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, I don't know how to whitelist gestures. I am facing a similar problem. I think naptime is closing my photos background backups from photos and flickr apps. I already whitelisted flickr but it are being closed yet. I think is naptime agressive doze.
Anyone facing same problems?

[Q] Enable accelerometer, when screen is off

Hello everyone. I wanted to try apps like Sleep as Android or ElectricSleep, but I've noticed, that accelerometer doesn't give data when screen is off. Is there a way to enable it with a help of some app or something?
Smart Actions has a trigger Motion Detector, which lets to add some actions when there is no motion for a few minutes and it works. So, I'm a little bit confused, is this some bug of an app, or Motion Detector doesn't use accelerometer? Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
I had a similar problem. Unfortunately for me the only solution was to buy and do Xperii X8 downgrade to Adnroid 1.6.
Only in version 1.6 you could use the accelerometer when the screen is off.
Or buy Axbo sleep phase alarm

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

They should just make it as an option in Moto Display ?

Problem brightness mate 20 pro

Hi guys, a question: setting the brightness manual, you noticed by chance if entering some Apps like Facebook, Gmail, Chrome etc the same is lowered and then return to the set value when you leave? Thanks to those who will answer.
That is even with the auto brightness ticked-off and smart screen feature also off, the screen will automatically lowered after few seconds I opened the Facebook app, Chrome app for example.
same problem..
This is a serious problem with the software, but a intented one. Really makes me think about whether I keep this phone or not.
This video adresses the problem at minute 3:20.
Also the flickering of the display is a issue for sensitive users. This is the most flickering oled display I've seen so far. Adressed at minute 2:55
I really hope Huawei adresses and fixes this strange programmed behaviour. But I'm afraid they won't, because the Mate 10 Pro and P20 Pro also have this automatic brightness limiting.

Check whether the light sensor is working. The screen brightness may not adjust properly if the light sensor is covered by other objects.
Please adjust the screen brightness if you think the screen is too bright or too dark. Go to Settings and select Display > Brightness.
Please check whether the AUTO switch in the Brightness level menu is enabled. If the AUTO switch is not enabled, the screen brightness may fail to adjust automatically. You can go to Settings > Display > Brightness level to enable the AUTO switch
Dude, this is so off topic. Has nothing to do with the sensor. It is software.
Check the internet for Huawei brightness dimming, screen dimming and power genius. You will find many topics which adress this problem. It is a problem in many Huawei phones. Mate 9, Mate 10 Pro, P10, P20 pro, they all suffer from this same problem which the Mate 20 Pro also happens to have unfortunately...
Is there a solution for this problem, I also have the same issue on my Mate 20 PRO. Is any chance to EMUI 9.1 solve this problem ?
Removing powergenie through adb solves this problem
What is the adb?

Bip S wrist gestures enabling ?

How do you enable wrist gestures on the Bip S. ? The lift wrist to turn on the screen option seems to be missing on the Zepp app, nor do I see a setting on the watch itself... Has this been removed on latest firmware or something ?
Thanks

Question Disable proximity sensor while playing games

Hi,
I bought my son Mi 11 Lite 5G, but he has problems. He is used to do a Viber call with his friends while playing games, but every time his finger goes over proximity sensor, the screen shuts off, it's really frustrating... Is there a way to disable proximity sensor while the call is in background, or while in game mode? Even a manual toggle would be ok if I could find a way to put a shortcut somewhere.
What are my options? I searched the Internet, but I couldn't find any practical solution... In the "Incoming call settings" there is no toggle to switch the sensor off (screenshot attached). The phone is fully updated.
Thank you!
That is a Viber parameter, check out in settings /calls and messages /use device proximity sensor ....in Viber.
Thank you, it works! I feel kind of stupid for not checking there :/
