I can only echo as well that the phone is absolutely fantastic, I've been using mine since 15:00PM yesterday afternoon and it hasn't missed a beat so far and it's very quick - and to also reiterate that the build quality is excellent, my expectations were exceeded and especially given the fact that it's a £200 phone.

My only very minor gripes with the phone so far are as follows:

The SD card bug which is present after the latest update (which will be fixed in due course anyway)

The factory fitted screen protector could do with being a little bigger, it doesn't cover the entire circumference of the screen (I've got a tempered glass screen on the way though)

The location of the lock / wake button & the volume rockers, I feel that they could be placed slightly higher up on the side of the phone as so far I'm finding myself pressing one of the volume rockers to wake the phone - obviously this is also because of the SIM / SD card tray present near the top and I will get used to this but I'm used to the lock / wake button being positioned higher up just like it was on on my Galaxy Alpha.

Overall though, I'm very happy with the phone so far.

Liam.

Odd, facebook notifications, ambient display and my sd card all work perfectly.

My only real gripe is the poor camera, but what can you do for £200.

ambient display works ok, but hand gestures don't

My son wants a new phone for christmas and this might fit the bill - what's the score with getting an invite for one? Does someone here have an invite they could send me please?

Sign up now and you'll probably get one through in the next week or two - then about a week to deliver.

Mine would have turned up today if i hadn't delayed it till tomorrow, considering I ordered it Friday thats pretty good going

Where/when are you trying the gestures? Works fine over here.

If I wave my hand over the screen, or even pick the phone up the display stays off

Experienced something strange today

Whilst on a call, the phone kept vibrating at random intervals

any ideas?

Have you turned the feature on? What happens when you make gestures on the screen (when off).

The only way I can wake it up without pressing the power button, is by either double tapping or saying "OK Google"

That seems like normal operation? The 'glance' type screen (forget what it's actually called) only comes on if you configure it to, and even then it doesn't actually turn the screen fully on.

And with regards to the gestures, have you tried both V and O when the screen is fully off?

I can't remember what it's called, but I saw it on the initial startup screen. It said you can either wave your hand over it, or pick it up and the screen comes on.

You should be able to wave your hand over the proximity sensor to show ambient display.

glenimp617 · 18 Nov 2015 at 13:59

It's called proximity wake

Doesn't work

:edit: oh, it's working now!

krooton · 18 Nov 2015 at 13:59

Isn't waving your hand over and triggering the light sensor to display the screen and notifications what 'ambient display' is?

Nope, ambient does the same thing when you receive a notification, proximity wake is if you trigger the sensor.

Either way, mine all works as intended.

glenimp617 · 18 Nov 2015 at 14:02

so should I be able to pick the phone up and the screen comes on?

Wave your hand over the sensor not the screen, works every time.

You should be able to pick up the phone and ambient display comes on. Not quite the same.

Nope, not coming on

I can only get it to come on if i wave my hand over the sensor. Picking it up does nothing

Yes the sensor will need to be activated for it to work.
