I am confused with how "Ambient Display" and "double tap to wake" works
Problem solved. There are settings to configure these under settings --> display. Ambient Display is a LeeDroid-related feature.
I am fairly new to HTC/sense and I am confused with how the "ambient display" and the innate double tap to wake function works. I am currently on LeeDroid rom but I assumed that both the LeeDroid and stock rom share the same function. So far, when i disable "ambient display", my phone will not light up when I get a text. I can't find an option to disable/enable double tap to wake. Here is what happens on my phone (I do not have pattern/password/fingerprint to unlock)
1) phone screen is off --> Double tapping on the phone wakes the screen up. Phone lights up with lockscreen.
2) phone screen is off --> doing a 1 finger swipe up motion on the screen wakes the screen up AND unlock the screen, taking me to the unlocked homescreen.
3) phone screen is off --> finger on fingerprint sensor wakes screen up. Phone lights up with lockscreen.
4) Phone screen is off --> phone just lights up randomly (I didn't even move the phone or change the lighting in the room) with clock in upper screen with a black background. (similar to the screen you get when the screen lights up with a new text notification). Is this the "ambient display" screen?
5) Phone screen is off --> 1 finger swipe down motion on the screen triggers a hint to suggest another wipe down to activate camera
I am very confused as to which of those are part of the "ambient display" function. Why does the phone light up randomly? How do I disable "double tap to wake" or "swipe up to unlock" functions?
Thanks. Any help is appreciated

You should probably ask in the rom thread. You'll get much better advice and more specific to your current setup.

you go to settings/display, gestures & buttons/motion launch gestures then untick everything there

#4 is the Ambient Display feature.
Ambient Display is a LL/MM feature, LeeDroid has enabled it within his ROM (not enabled in stock ROMs).
The rest are Motion Launch gestures and both Motion Launch and Ambient will be found under Settings>Display & Notifications (as 2 different options).

Tap to turn on backlight only

On my old iphone, when the screen went dim, if you were to tap the screen, regardless of where you tapped it would wake, but on the Evo when the screen dims if you tap it will not only wake the screen but click on whatever you tapped on as well. Pretty annoying when you're in a web browser and try to wake the screen but it clicks on a link.
Anyone know if there's a setting or fix for this?

I tend to just tap the notification bar when I want to bring the backlight back up. Requires a bit more aim but it doesn't click anything.
I tap and drag... doesn't click but wakes LCD

initial lock screen with clock and small icons

I really hate that initial lock screen when you hold your phone and it wakes up (color clock with small notification icons). Is it impossible to remove/bypass?
I wish it could wake up in the notification screen like the 5 does. What was OP point to add that stuff, and worst, making it impossilbe to remove ? (if you choose to wake your phone when you hold it)
You can turn off "lift up display" in the settongs>display. Doing that will not turn on the screen when you lift it.

Question Can't disable Lift To Wake

The screen turns on when I lift the phone. (Black and white lock screen.)
"Lift to wake" and "Tap to Check" are both off.
We're guessing it's a bug (I know, that post was after yours). I'm sure most things will be fixed in software over time - until Google looses interest, that is.

I think it might have something to do with using fingerprint unlock. This was happening to me as well, then I deleted all my fingerprints and it is no longer happening. Not sure if it is a bug or a "feature" connected with fingerprint unlocking.
Hi all, I am having same problem with Pixel 6 and Android 12. As @Lughnasadh said removing fingerprint(s) problem is solved. It is really frustrating, if you are sitting and just holding your phone, small move would turn on the screen for no reason.
This is 100% to do with having a fingerprint setup on the phone
Enabling the AOD would help alleviate the problem without removing fingerprint(s).
I have AOD off and Lift to Check off with Fingerprints on. Working as intended.
Here is a workaround if people want to keep their fingerprint(s) but still disable Lift to Check (even when it's already disabled in your settings):
adb shell settings put secure doze_quick_pickup_gesture 0
There is two option for Lift to check phone
1- lift to check black screen
2- lift to check wake up the screen
If you write this code:
adb shell settings put secure doze_quick_pickup_gesture 0
you will disable the lift to check black screen
THE best settings for me to i keep lift black screen and i can control lift check wake up screen
first, you have to enable Lift to check phone from Settings - Gestures
then write this code to enable Lift to check phone
adb shell settings put secure doze_quick_pickup_gesture 1
then you can any time to control Lift to check phone ON/OFF

Question Pixel 6 pro screen won't wake up in the dark

My screen/display won't wake when I pick up my phone and tap on the screen with my finger in the dark. I have to press the power button to wake it up. Both "Tap to check phone" and "Lift to check phone" are On. Has anyone else seen this problem?

Thanks miravision, do you know any fixes for this? Or this is just what it is...
Having the same thing
Bedtime Mode & DnD deactivate a host of features, like AoD and other sensors. Did you check if those are active whenever you face these issues?
Both are off.
Just saw this in the list of issues fixed in the December update, hopefully this is reason.

Question The display wakes up when the phone is moved

Hello guys, after the last update I have a problem. At the slightest move of the phone the display turns on and it is very irritating, also as soon as I lock it with the power button and the display turns on immediately.

You have active the option "Move/Raise phone to wake up screen" in Gestures ?
Or AOD?
I have 1+9P A12 and have disabled "Raise to wake" in Gestures. Everytime phone moves or "table bumps", the phone wakes. I cannot find how to disabled that - I wonder that it is not possible yet!?
You have to disable Always-On Display in settings>Personalizations
