This might be a glitch I just stumbled upon by chance, or just the way the system is supposed to work, but it's kinda interesting:
For those, like me, who enabled Developer Options and turned all the animations ( Window animation scale, Transition animation scale and Animator duration scale) to Off, started noticing that Moto Display stopped working, and waving the hand above the Moto Z Play to turn on the display wouldn't work anymore.
To solve that you should either turn off Developer Options (if you want to get radical, and have all the animations back) or simply go to the Animator duration scale and change it from Off to .5x, and your Moto Display will be back and you won't have to give up Developer Options (thanks to @ladera for the tip! =)
Now the interesting part is you can also have the Moto Display functions back, still with all the Animations in Developer Options at the Off mark.
Just go to the battery and enable Battery Saving. Then turn your screen off and wave your hand above the phone, and the Moto Display will work. I don't know why or how this works, but it just does.
I know not everyone uses the battery saver all the time, just when needed and I don't think that setting Animator duration scale to .5x is gonna be a battery drainer or will lag the phone (if it makes that big difference, please tell me), but just know that Developer Options + Battery Saver = Moto Display Working =)
Thank you for this...i even thought it was my screen protector that made it not work I can't use the battery saver option it toggles off its cause I have the moto mod battery psck on but thanks a million...I just use .5x animation

You're welcome! Glad I could help! At first I also thought I did something wrong, because the Moto Display just stopped working!
You can't use the Battery Saver option because you're using the Battery Mod? I didn't expect that. I'm planning on getting one soon, do you think it's worth it?
Yea I highly recommend it with it three days off the charge easily without I get two days charge around 30 percent love this phone an coming from a nexus 6

Since I've had my GN I've noticed some weird lag between the button push and the screen transition, most notably on my Settings app. It seems like the phone waits for the button "glow" animation to finish before initiating the transition into the next screen.
For example, say I'm in settings and want to check out the battery page. I push the battery button and for about a half second, maybe more, it plays out the glow animation (glow light blue and fade back to the original darker blue) and then makes the transition. What makes me curious is that the glow animation doesn't seem do be as smooth as it should and the choppy framerate might be the culprit from allowing it to go to the next screen.
I ran into a similar issue when I was playing around with the Developer Options and set the Transition Animation Scale to 5x and all of a sudden my lock screen and menu animations slowed down considerably.
Has anyone else seen this issue? I know it seems small, but every detail counts!

What did you expect to happen? That's what the scaling DOES. That's not an issue, that's expected behavior.

I understand this, I was just using it as an example to best convey the behavior I'm getting with the buttons. Like I said before it seems like the animation has slowed down very similar to when I slowed down the scaling animations. That puzzled me until I set it back to 1x but there is no such setting with button animations which is why I'm asking to see if I'm the only one.
I recently reset my LG G3. Since it rebooted, the display seems to be too clever for it's own good with its effects. The display fades out or shoots up from the bottom; when I enter a lock code, each letter seems to appear from underneath like a bubble etc etc.
I don't like it, but I can't find anywhere to turn all the effects. Anyone got a clue to help me?
cheers

You can turn off (or change speed of) animations in Settings - Developer options: Window animation scale, Transition animation scale and Animation duration scale.

AGGHH _ Developer option - of course. Silly me.
Many thanks and Happy Christmas

Does anyone else have an issue with moto display/the approach feature?
This wouldn't work for me out of the box. I even tried a factory reset.
I tested the IR sensors and they work. So I don't know what it could be.
Check with Motorola customer support. It works perfectly for me.
I had an Moto X Style and moto display was easier to trigger.
On Moto Z Play it is a little harder but I found it is best to wave your hand on the top part of phone and a little closer, like 2 or 3 inches from it.
Do you have the Animator Duration setting in Developer Options set to 0? I think it needs to be at .5 or higher as it governs the duration of the Moto Display appearance time.

Thanks for this! I always set all the animation options to 0.5x to make the software seem faster, but had always thought that Moto Display didn't stay on long enough when I activated it. This fixed it.

I guess that's because the play uses the proximity sensor instead of the infrared sensor used in the X.
FIXED!

That just did it! I don't have to give up the Developer Options and have all the unnecessary animations (at least for me) eventually lagging the device!
Thanks a lot!!
I upgraded to Android Q DP1 yesterday through OTA and noticed the double-tap-to-check-phone feature now always displays the full lockscreen including wallpaper. Same thing for lift-to-check-phone. In Pie, it used to show ambient display first when double tapped. I have the Always On Display disabled. Is this a bug?

Yes, the "Double-tap to check phone" and "Lift to check phone" options are still there, and when enabled those actions still wake the screen, but the wake behaviour has changed, which is what I'm wondering about. When woken, it now shows the full lock screen rather than the ambient display (black background and dark theme) that used to show up in Pie.

Ohhh...ok I know what you mean now. Personally, I like it the way it is now in Q.

It's down to personal preference for sure. I wish they would've made that wake behaviour configurable if it's not a bug.
I wish the same too even in full 10 release they didn't change this behaviour
It's better to wake the ambient display than to wale the whole phone in case you need to check nots.
:good:
Hey all!
I am glad too see somebody else also noticed it. I absolutely adore the clean design and funcionality of Pixel's AOD, but the changed funcionality of double-tap to wake (from waking AOD to waking the whole screen) annoys me. I even rolled back from Q beta to Pie hoping they would not implement this change in stable release. Now in order to see AOD you need to have it on constantly, which actually drains some 1% battery per hour (that actually makes it some 15-20 over a working day's period and is actually quite substantial.), also during the night. I also don't stare at the phone all the time to need AOD all that time - a gentle tap to peek the time, weather and notifications is just enough - I see some of you would agree.
Is there any way we can appeal to Google similar to OnePlus's feedback section?
Hey, has it also become iOS like?
I hate whole iOS lock screen turning on. What a shame
I spent time factory resetting my phone thinking that the missing ambient display settings were a bug, I never thought Google would remove that functionality. The language under the "Lock Screen Settings" sounds similar, but they don't do the same thing since now it just wakes the entire screen. Real bummer that Google keeps removing features.
Yeah, it seem they went almost full iOS on this And it was so good: tap twice - AOD shows, tap twice again on that AOD - the lock screen shows. Why Google, why! At least give us an option to schedule when the AOD can be turned off automatically (like at some hours at night).
And to think I bought the Pixel just a week ago to finally taste the stock Android. It is good, no doubt here (and the phone size and general style is very refreshing from thos behemoths I used from Sammy, OP or Huawei), but OnePlus seems much more thoughtful and practicality-oriented. And what is the more important the pledges from the OnePlus community actually work quite often which I don't expect with Google somehow.
I'm fine with it. Not a big deal.

I don't like animations so I turned it off in developer options. I turned off window animation zoom, transition animation scale and animator duration scale. But the very next day two of them automatically reset to 1x which is their default value. Anyone knows what could be doing this ?
you most likely have to keep Developer Options turned on for it to not revert, I'm not sure tho give it a shot.

Ya the system manger app turns off developer options everytime we clear the cache and stuff using it. But I made sure developer options stays on. Even then the values of the animation scale reset. Try out yourself. I guess sleep mode does it overnight.
yups thats very annoying,we even cant disable preinstalled apps

Yes, you can. I uninstalled all the third party apps on the first day. Only app market and game center cannot be uninstalled. Realme community and realme store can be uninstalled too.
Wow I'm not the only one that having this issue.
Any solution. Guys?
It's the night mode on screen settings. Every time night mode (blue light filter) activate or deactivate, the screen animations get reset.
