I recently got this phone and its very nice but there is one simple thing i hate about it if your phone is off and you shake it it will turn on and give you an option to unlock it. I just want to know how to turn this off.
 
welcome to Android Forums.

Exactly what do you mean by shake? Twisting will launch the camera app.

What are you trying to turn off?

Well say the phone is off alright, if you pick it up and shake it it will light up tell you the time and have the slide to unlock and I would like to turn that off
 
It is still impossible to know exactly what you want to turn off.

If when you move the phone you don't want the display to show the Active Display ...

Settings | Active Display ... uncheck Active Display

I find the feature to be simply great. I never shake it. While in a one-to-one meeting I will have it on the table in front of me and when I touch it it shows me the time. Very handy. Very unobvious.

I also have Screen Lock set to None.

I'm a trucker. The turbo 2 has the same bug (this CANNOT be a feature if you can't kill it). When I, or my codriver, hit one bump, the phone wakes up on its own. If we hit two bumps in succession, the camera turns on. KNOCK IT OFF. BTW, the settings referred to aren't applicable to the Turbo 2

The camera waking up is a feature called quick capture, which is supposed to turn the camera on when you do a twisting motion in your hand twice with the phone (like opening a doorknob) even with the phone's display off. I'm not sure why it would turn on when you hit bumps in a truck, though.

You can turn that off. Believe that you do so on the Turbo this way: Open the camera app, open the camera settings (by swiping right from the left edge), which reveals a set of setting icons. The icon that looks like a hand holding the phone. Tap that icon and make sure that the feature is off.

If that doesn't turn it off anymore, open the Moto app, touch the icon top right, touch "Actions", and turn off "Twist for quick capture". I believe that same list of settings shows "Approach for Moto Display" - turn that off for to stop active display from turning on.
