Bug Description

When the display turns on because of notifications, the distance sensor is enabled. That makes sense, but it is a tiny bit too sensitive. Right now, it immediately turns the display off as soon as there is anything coming close. Depending on the items in the indicator (enable gps, bluetooth etc), this collides with the gesture to drag down the indicator on the messages icon. Trying to read the notification that just turned the screen on, the user often accidentally triggers the distance sensor and turns the screen off again.

=> The sensor should probably have a threshold to require detection of obstacles continuously for a second before triggering the screen off.
