lift to wake definitely needs some luvving.....looking forward to the update whenever you get to it. Off topic, but I bet by now after dealing with all of us non stop demanding app owners you wish in app purchases were $9999 instead of $0.99 HAHAHAHA
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
Haha, not at all. I love all the feedback and between that and people willing to drop the 99 cents motivates me to keep working on the app!
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
Nice app and bought the pro version.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] liqn7:
Just to clarify - does this only work when there is an active notification?

I've enabled battery info and then lift to wake and wave to wake but have not gotten an ambient screen display when attempting to activate these gestures.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] tslovejoy1969:
Lift to wake and wave to wake both work for me with no active notifications. Are you sure ambient display is turned on in your device's display settings?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] ohmegosh:
Found a solution to the calendar - just install com.cliffcawley.calendarnotify (Calendar Notify) and tweak so that it only shows the day(s) you want.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] dpvu:
Awesome app. Thanks for the key. Just playing with it for a little bit here and here are my thoughts so far:

-The screen seems to fairly reliably turn on from inside my pocket.

-Used the wave feature and it's a bit hit or miss. At my desk at home I can get it pretty reliably but it seems in some other places to be more finicky even though I think I'm waving the same way. I rarely get it to work in my car in it's mount.

-It seems to have minor to negligible impact on battery life but I'm not using any of the pulse features (just turning on from out of pocket and waving). If there is an impact it's not enough to stop me from using the app as I've got plenty of juice to spare on a few extra nice to have features with the awesome battery life so far.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zeroflucks:
Nice, found an article on this.

[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
Whoa! I was not prepared for that. I thought there was glitch in the payment system when I checked this afternoon until I saw this post.

I'm putting the advanced settings and such on hold until later tonight and posting an update with just the more reliable wake function in. That seems to be the largest complaint from the new wave of reviewers and I want to get that pushed asap.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Javi22:
Wow.. This looks awesome. Tomorrow I'll try in my Nexus 5X

I appreciate your development...always wanted something like this

Btw I guess it would not drain much battery because of the sensor hub, right..? I feel like this feature is underrated
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tugix1:
Would Love to Test the pro Version but at purchase it keeps sayin Server Error. Would be glad if u can send me a Code sir.

[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] schwem:
Awesome. I just read the article. You're becoming famous my friend. :good: I am however still having the constant peek notifications (ambient display) even when peek is turned off. I'm not sure what's going on but I will time it to see how often it co.es on and at what intervals. I have tilt and 1 wave to wake but if I sit the phone 5 feet from me on my end table it will constantly turn the ambient display on without new notifications.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] stone0504:
Great app and already bought it.

It there any way not to show "ambient is running" on lock screen?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

haha I found the way to turn it off in phone setting.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ygor Cortes:
Has anyone here tested it on the Nexus 6? I bought the app, but I couldn't find a way to make Wave To Wake to work ????

Awesome app though!
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
I've seen that occasionally on my phone as well. I'm still tracking down the exact cause - I'll get it, though!
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zeroflucks:
Just wanted to say thanks. I'm glad you got some notoriety. It's well deserved. Keep up the good work my friend.

Not sure, Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app? Try PMing him for the code but looking at your screenshot i'm not sure if you can apply it. Do you get the drop down arrow to get to the redeem option??
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Juzman:
Ended up paying for it [MENTION=6730079]grokus[/MENTION] :) Seems "two waves" doesn't wake, but 1 does. *shrug*
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Spf2001:
Super excited for this as it's one of the features I miss most moving from a droid turbo to a pixel xl. But it does not seem to be working at all. ☹️
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zeroflucks:
I was just about to post about this. Seems 2 wave gesture isn't functioning properly anymore. beat me to it :p

Edit: Looks like it does work. It just need to sit still for a little while. Doesn't seem to be as responsive as it once was though.

Edit: Yeah, idk. seems to be working now. Switched to 3 wave to 1 wave then back to 2 wave and now it seems to be working like it was.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Juzman:
Ah right. I will just leave it as one wave. Easier.

Edit: for two waves you have to wave quickly. Worked it out.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] wickets:
update is nice....thanks

p.s. I think its very thoughtful to add a disclaimer about the lock screen notification. Larry needs to bring you in-house lol
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] liqn7:
Oops. Changed this and it works! Thanks!! :)
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] wickets:
I for one would gladly pay extra for a more sensitive 'tilt' especially when it starts from a phone face up position. An example nexus 6 and 6p 'lit up' almost immediately after being touched and / or slightly moved. When the phone is face down your app is 1,000% brilliant as of now!
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jaythenut:
Got the update today I'm running pro is there a way to stop ambi is running on the display not liking that at all lol
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] gsutton:
Nexus 5X

I would like to be a beta tester. This app is interesting to me and I would be pleased to test it on my stock nexus 5x.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] JayCizzo:
Would the wave to wake not work in a dark room, for instance at night next to my bed in a dock? Thanks.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
I'm working on it. The notification is there to keep android from pausing or stopping the background service. Some people have said the app still works if you go into Androids notification settings and hide the notification from the lock screen.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
It would not. Wave needs light for the sensor to activate.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jaythenut:
Ok please fix quick lol great app by the way
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] stone0504:

Doesn't work on my Pixel XL. Ambient display is activated, and bought pro. Not sure why it won't work...
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
My apologies. There have been a lot of emails and reviews to answer and I have a full time job.

It looks like a code won't even work for you. It appears that it can't connect to the Google in app purchase server for some reason.

Are you able to make in app purchases normally? What country are you in?

Great app but unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work if i have do not disturb mode which i have it on. was this working before or broken after the update? anyways i stopped using it in the meantime when this get fixed. works great without dnd mode on though.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jaythenut:

[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] aznblade:
thanks. sortaa works now.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] spiralspirit:
So I got this working but is there any way to have it work with the screen up instead of down (I don't put my phone screen down) and just to have it turn on ambient display in double tap?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
Tilt to wake should work when the phone is face up. Double tap isn't possible without root.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Nemo Aeternamn:
One thing I noticed with the lift to wake. It might be a bit too sensitive. When I drive I usually set my phone with the screen up. If I hit a little bump in the road. It keeps turning the screen on. Maybe you could adjust how far the phone has to be tilted a little. But other than that. It will works extremely great for me.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Javi22:
Could you add a trial version just to try features before buying?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] droidrat:
Hmm, it sorta works for me. Bought the pro version, running on Pixel XL. Wave to wake seems to be the most reliable. Tilt to wake almost never works. Also the pulse timings don't seem to be recognized. I have it set to pulse every 10 seconds, but it doesn't, well, pulse. I know it's a work in progress and like I said, wave to wake seems to work which is really what I was primarily after. I'll keep using this until Google adds this type of functionality. Thanks for the app!

Update - a reboot seems to have fixed the not pulsing problem.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
New update posted.

I may have discovered what is causing the intermittent nature of wave to wake. I made some changes in how I'm using the proximity sensor so that should help. I'll have to wait and see after a day or so of use to see how consistent it is.

I also added an option to turn off the wake from pocket.

There's now a help screen with an email developer button and some troubleshooting hints. I've been getting a large number of 1 star reviews, and many of them are people who don't realize you need to have ambient display turned on and a lock screen set, so I included more info on that.

Oh, and the notification is now hidden unless you have the Battery Indicator selected!
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] speedtriple675:
Thanks for this and keep up the great work! Bought the pro I will report back in a week.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] ANTHONY81L:
So after my last update I now always have a notification that says ambi Turner is running .. I bought the pro version is there an option to turn that off? If not can you make it an option please? I'm a minimalist and I keep me layouts clean, notifications cleared and emails and texts at 0 unread.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] tslovejoy1969:
I had that notification for a bit as well. It went away, either when I unchecked/checked the 'Enabled' option in Ambi-Turner or when I rebooted the phone - I don't recall which.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
I removed the persistent notification in the update last night, unless you have the show battery option selected.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] JayCizzo:
The notification is still showing up for me.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Javi22:
So... How you deal with this?: If you enable Ambient display, it will turn screen on every time you pick the phone. It's awful for me, I just want it when I take it from the pocket. No every time I make a movement...

How can avoid that but use the app for the 10 seconds pocket thing?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Nagrom Nniuq:
Grokus, this is amazing! Thank you! Coming from the Droid Turbo, this was my biggest loss. I want to donate more to you thank the pro version. Do you have a link?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] southernstyle:
fantastic app. I'm late to the party so please excuse me if I didn't catch the question in the 10 previous pages. I was wondering if there is a way to control the brightness of the ambient display? For some reason, it's not very bright at work and it's not the apps fault, I think it's that way stock. The other question would be, how hard would it be to implement an always on display? How does Samsung not get much battery drain from this feature? I think it would be cool to have on always, and interested in how much it would drain. Thanks again for the app
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] MontAlbert:
it's not working for me at all since the update. the notification was there for a split second today but now that's gone. i've turned app off and on again- neither tilt or wave to wake is working.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Scott:
With the latest play store update, as of today, its much more sensitive. I like that!

All features are working for me as advertised.

Great App!

Tilt to wake & wave doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Edit: it works very sporadically vs all the time.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Scott:
One issue I encountered... Seems to wake in my pocket quite a bit when I am up walking around. Once device is awake it turns on flashlight, lowers screen brightness, etc. Sad to say I had to uninstall because of this. Uninstall fixed the issue.

Hope that can help you. If you want more details then PM me :good:
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] infamousjax:
Grokus--

First of all, great job. I love how this uses the native Ambien display that Google made and doesn't use a 3rd party screen like all of the other similar apps. I'm sure this helps with battery. Secondly, everything for the most part works well with my Pixel XL. I'm not using any of the pulse features, just the out of pocket, tilt, and wave are good enough for me. I have the LED for the rest :)

Keep it up and don't take any crap but people being rude on here. You're doing more than most devs would.

[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] garyHal:
How is this compared to Gravity Screen. My pixel isn't rooted and Gravity Screen isn't working consistently so I am looking for alternatives.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] okcthunderfan:
I would say Gravity Screen is much more consistent turning on the screen when you pick up the phone. I use this, though, since I want the breathing feature and Gravity doesn't have that.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] bejank:
I don't know of someone has asked this already but would it be possible to implement a double tap to wake or something similar to prevent accidentally interacting with the screen when it's in a pocket or or bag or when picking it up?

Testing

[MENTION=6730079]grokus[/MENTION] I would like to test your app.So need the pro app to test it on my Nexus 5 and Nexus 6p.Please provide me the pro app to test it out as the normal one has limited features.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] billykxda:
Figured I'd check out battery usage for myself - just bought the Pro version of the app!

Happy to provide beta feedback.

So far, the "wave" trigger almost never works on my Pixel XL. Maybe 2 out of 10 times it works for me.

Also, I read on the app's Info/Help screen that your phone's screen has to be off and locked. I might be wrong here, but I consider "locked" to be a state where the phone needs to be "unlocked" to work. Since I use Smart Lock in my home, my phone is never "locked" when home. Still, your app works just fine!

At first, I bothered to turn off all of my Smart Lock settings prior to installing your app. When I tested it, the app worked as advertised. Then, wanting all of my Smart Locks back on, which essentially keeps my phone unlocked when home and when on my body, I made a mental note to look for your app behavior when I am at work tomorrow. To my delight, the next time I picked up my phone today, the app worked perfectly.

So, if I have the terms "locked" and "unlocked" right, you may want to change your info/help screen instructions.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] kaboomx:
I'd like to beta test and get a code please
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] JonasVFC:
It almost never wakes after taking out if the pocket. It would be awesome if it was more consistent
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] dpvu:
App seems improved after latest updates addressing responsiveness. Occasionally I notice the notification when unlocking before it vanishes. Not a deal breaker or anything...

I do notice one new "bug". At times when locking the phone when it's face up on a flat surface the ambient display will trigger right away. I'm only using the wave (set to 2 waves) and the default pocket remove options. I've yet to find the exact cause but it does happen often enough to notice. If it's related to a false positive on one of the sensors right after locking perhaps the easiest fix would be to add a short time delay before the wake up becomes active after locking.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
I do believe it's related to the sensor for laying flat. I'm planning on adding a high pass filter to it, I just haven't had a chance to with the baby. I should have time to work on it starting tomorrow though.

The notification is triggered to leave when the screen goes on. Any delay is due to android not delivering the screen on broadcast intent immediately so I'm not really able to get around that unfortunately.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
I'm working on it. Basically I'm fighting the fact that android now puts the processor into sleep mode much aggressively and delays responses. I'm getting closer with each update though and at least on my own phone it hasn't affected battery life.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
I'm adding some customization to set the wave timing parameters.

As for locked/unlocked, basically when smart lock engages the lock screen still becomes available at the time it normally would, but I think it just clears automatically when the screen comes on. I've had other people not have lock screen even set up and give me 1 star reviews because ambient display would never show, so I had to add that into the help section. I should add smart lock specific comments.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] gogorman:

[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] JonasVFC:
great news. i was using the app with the option "block all notifications" enabled. after going back to the default option, it works like a charm. the only downside it is that a icon appears for like 1 sec when i unlock the phone.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] wickets:
Just downloaded the update with all the experimental stuff... ...very very very nice. THANKS
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
Glad you're liking it. It's the first update I've made since my child was born. I've been too busy/tired to do much of anything else. I'm hoping the consistency of the gesture responses is much better (it is on my pixel xl).
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] xocomaox:
I'm not sure if this application will give me what I want, but I've been unable to find anything that will.

I basically only want the Ambient display to show up for a longer time when initiated by a notification. It currently lights up for about 5 seconds, I would prefer 30. I would also prefer to be able to raise the brightness of this display some as it's initially too low (this is an AMOLED screen, so it doesn't have to light up much!).
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] grokus:
It's not possible without root and a custom ROM. You can use the app to pulse (set to 8 seconds and repeat for 60 seconds or so) but I think that's the closest I can get.

Brightness is also built into the OS. An overlay to change brightness would need to turn on the entire screen.
