Raise to wake in Crimson

Hardware Librem 5
1

I have noticed something new on the Librem 5 on Crimson. When I pick up the phone and it is in suspend, the phone seems to detect it is being raised and it will wake up without me having to press any buttons. It doesn’t happen all the time, but I think it could either be from the accelerometer or perhaps the proximity sensor.

Has anyone else noticed this or is my phone doing something else? It’s not a bad feature if that is the case, I am just wondering.

Edit: I think it could also be from tapping the screen? I picked it up a couple of times holding only the sides and it didn’t do it, but then my thumb grazed the screen and it turned on. I dunno.

:thinking: Interesting…

I can’t answer your question but when the iPhone introduced that feature, after a few weeks of experience, I turned that feature off!

I did not notice that, but I did notice that the side buttons are sensitive so I try to avoid those buttons when picking it up.

I noticed something very similar and if possible I would like to turn it off because it can be a bit annoying setting the device into suspension to put it away while it automatically comes back from suspension during the process.

One thing that works is having the “rubber baby buggy bumpers”† like they sell for other phones. Then the buttons are harder to set off.

† Old joke my Mom made me do from the 60 years ago, you’re supposed to try and say “rubber baby buggy bumpers” three times real fast.

What’s a “baby buggy”? :wink:

A stroller, baby carriage, pram, perambulator.

When my parents used the “rubber baby buggy bumper” term – probably like tracy’s mom – they were somewhat derisively referring to the 5 mph bumpers of the 1970s intended to mitigate low-speed collision damage to cars which often appeared as the bolted-on afterthought that they were at the time. I suppose the chunky protective phone cases make the same protection/aesthetics tradeoff as the early car “buggy bumpers”.

Alas, I’d hoped the smiley with a wink would be understood as “no explanation needed”. :frowning:

Well, I know it predates motor-vehicle plastic bumpers, because my mom used the tongue-twister in 1964.
