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 ?

Please follow these steps to attempt to replicate the issue.
This will be for fully stock devices running software version 2.13.651.1 710RD(the newest OTA update)
- Using the Power Control widget bar(the native widget that allows adjustment for Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, Sync, Brightness) set the brightness all the way down to the dim setting (empty sun icon).
- Go into your camera and hit the Video Record button. It will begin recording and it will automatically adjust your brightness up.
- Stop recording and return to the devices main screen. It may take a moment for your brightness to dim back down.
- Go to your Power Control widget, adjust the brightness to auto (sun icon with A in the center) and cover the sensor on the top of the phone in order to trick the screen to dim.
Does it:
A. Screen remains a constant full brightness
or
B. Screen dims down as expected after covering the sensor
Thanks!
My screen remains at full brightness. Btw that is a very interesting sequence of events to notice.I am fully stock with the newest OTA.

I sent in a bug report to HTC for this.
Hello all,
I was just wondering if there is a way to enable the beautiful ambient display since the 1+x 's proximity sensor is really responsive, but I dont like the screen pulsing for battery life and "pocket dial" reasons.
I would still like the proximity sensors to work when i wave my hand or take out of my pocket, but it would be great if i could disable the screen pulsing somehow..
Thanks
Should be under doze in settings.
I've read spotty reviews on how the ambient screen display feature works (as-in it didn't reliably) so I initially disabled it. I installed Nougat DP5 last night and re-enabled it just to see if it's any better. I've found that if I double tap the screen it comes on. Now, I don't think this is like the LG version where it's detecting your finger touching the screen but more like the accelerometer detects the vibration and interprets this as the motion needed to trip the display. I've noticed that it's not very reliable, or doesn't work at all, except on the right-side more or less inline with where the time is displayed. Double-tap here and it works very time (maybe the accelerometer is under that spot). Who knows. What I do know is that I can now check the time without having to press the power button.
I've noticed this as well - I'm on dp5, and I have the double tap 6p app installed. It doesn't seem to work as well, but the ambient display seems to trigger more when I touch the device.
On stock all you need to do is tap it hard enough to slightly move the phone and ambient display will work.
Hi guys
I tried searching everywhere for two apps and can't find anything. I think it would be really simple but since there is no app to do this I find it strange, or maybe people don't need this...
The first one is a way to turn the screen on when I receive a notification on my watch (when ambient mode is off). I have a ticwatch E and find it really annoying to not have an option for this. Does anyone have any solution?
The other is brightness control when in ambient mode. I would like to lower the brightness of the watch when it is in ambient mode. I know that there was an app to do this (swapp true brightness or something like this) but it no longer works. Does anyone know one that works?
I found it is annoying too, I own a Ticwatch S and I want to turn off the Ambient light too but it can't pop up notification on screen after turning it off , also I wanted to turn down the brightness of the Ambient light because it make burn in on my screen after 4 month didn't change watch face
So before upgrading to the Nord N105G I had a OnePlus 6T, which was a very reliable phone. I had it since launch, and I got very used to the behavior of the ambient display.
I didn't have any of those new-fangled features enabled like Smart Lock or Face Unlock, but I did use the fingerprint scanner but that's neither here nor there.
The display behavior I expect is that a single-tap will turn on the display (from completely off) to the black ambient display with the clock on it. Double tap to wake works just fine, but single tap does not.
Also possibly related: On the 6T I could use quick gestures to launch the flashlight etc from either a display-off state or the ambient display. However, on the Nord, quick gestures do not work on the ambient display - they can only be triggered when the display is fully off. Is anyone else experiencing these issues?
Also, I'm curious. If I use Titanium Backup (rooted) to back up the old Ambient Display app from the OP6T and then restore it to the new phone I wonder if they'd play nice. Might fiddle a bit...
No.
This isn't the same phone by a long shot and the display is one of those big changes.
Ambient display and it's features are limited to oled (and derivatives) screens.
At most, you'd be lucky if the app even registers.

I totally get what you're saying, and you seem knowledgeable, so you're likely right. However, other than the quirks I've described the Ambient display works exactly the same as it did on the OP6T.
For example, Plus Beat still works even though it hasn't been supported since shortly after the release of the 6t. It was designed for an OLED display as a replacement for a standard notification LED (Lighting up a few pixels on an OLED screen IS essentially a notification LED). Plus Beat will wake the N105G's ambient display and display the exact same notification info; obviously its lighting up the entire display to do this, but whatever foundation was originally laid to wake the ambient display doesn't seem to have changed.
So, when I find the time to flash the newest TWRP and make a backup, I will fiddle with it anyway, because contrary to your statement, I think the OP6T ambient display app will replace the N105G's app just fine. Whether the native Android settings will hook into it functionally or not is a whole different beast.
Ambient Display is useless for IPS screens. I use Glimpse Notifications, it normally turns on the screen and a bunch of settings

I don't understand why you'd prefer lighting the lock screen with Glimpse Notifications when Plus Beat still functions as a notification LED (with info) on the black background ambient display. It's not true black obviously because it's not an OLED display, but it's pretty close.
