Help Screen no longer wakes when turning over

Homeuser66 · Jul 26, 2014

Hi, I used to have a setting on my phone (Jelly Bean and ICS versions) where I had my phone upside down or screen turned off, then when I pick it up, the screen used to turn on for me. Now using the update to kit kat 4.4.2, it no longer does that and I can't find that setting. Is this feature gone, or am I missing it somewhere?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: When I do pick it up, it vibrates, it used to vibrate and turn on for me when I looked at it..

Do you currently have it working for you this way? Meaning, your screen wakes up?

On 4.1 that works just fine for me.
Running jedix rom

Do you remember where that option was? Maybe I'm missing it somewhere....

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply!!

That's where I thought it was...There is no option here anymore for a "Wake" option (nothing in Advanced either)...here are the choices:

Motion:
Quick glance
Direct Call
Smart Alert
Double tap to top
Tilt to Zoom
Pan to move icon
Pan to browse images
Shake to update
Turn over to mute/pause

Advanced Settings:
Quick Glance only option to touch and tick boxes for a few items.

Hand Motions:
Palm swipe to capture
Palm touch to mute/pause.
