Help Removing the orange border (Solved)

[pwabrahams]

I'm running Android 5.1 on a Moto E. Sometimes I accidentally do something that causes an orange border to appear on the screen. I think it has something to do with magnification. In any case, how can I make it go away?

Does it look like this:

If so, it's the battery saver.

Sounds like battery saver mode. Check settings >battery > tap the 3 dot menu in the upper right corner > battery saver

Then there are settings in there about when or if it turns on automatically, which is triggered by a low battery percentage remaining. There is an option to have it not turn on automatically.

I finally discovered what's going on. The orange border indicates magnification mode. It's turned on by triple-tapping the screen -- and it's turned off the same way. So the answer to my question is simple: triple-tap and the orange border will disappear (provided that your triple-tap is recognized, which it isn't always). This behavior can be turned off under Accessibility.

Thank you so much for this answer! I have been getting this frustrating issue for a number of years, mostly when I am in a huge hurry to text something, which of course, the stupid orange box completely derails, slowing my process to a stop and doing the opposite. Finally today at 330am est, I became fed up and decided to figure it out and found your answer, the only correct one, way down the screen search results behind all the wrong answers. Never thought of a TRIPLE Touch causing it and would have never stumbled on the solution myself. You deserve a Pulitzer, a bottle of your favorite beverage, and a day off! Thanks again! Cheers!

When you're in magnification mode expand your magnification level and then triple tap to get out of mag mode. The next time you accidently triple tap, you'll be given visual feedbak that you're in that mode...
