Hey guys,
I'm really needs to know if there is an option within the phone for "double tap" the screen to "unlock it"?
How to get this function working smoothly without any additional functions?
Thanks for reading.
Unfortunately not an option. Otherwise u can use ur finger print to unlock the phone
Isn't there at least an app functioning the same thing? If so which is the best one
No recommendations since your battery will drain .
You can at least add double tap to sleep on the Status bar functionality through the double tap to sleep xposed module. For me i use the fingerprint scanner to wake up the device and double tap the status bar to make the phone sleep as i don't like pressing the power button too much.

Good morning everyone,
I am looking for a widget or tweak that makes it easy to put the phone to sleep other than having to tap the status bar twice. Something I can put down below to avoid having to mess with the status bar every time I want to shut off the screen. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions! Thanks guys.
Depending on whether your launcher has gestures, you can download Screen Off & Lock.

I'm using Nova Launcher with a double tap on home screen gesture to both Sleep the phone & Hibernate apps with Greenify.

If you are talking about the knock feature, you can just leave an empty shortcut spot anywhere on your screen and double tap that spot.
Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I just discovered over the weekend that if I hold down the Home button, it not only shuts off my screen, but also locks the phone so that it requires my swipe pattern to access it again.

Thanks. I did it and was given several options to choose as default (Google Search, nothing, Greenify+Lock, etc). I opted for the long press to Greenify option. This is great.
is there this function? clicking in icon on ambient display, opens the relative app or simply unlock phone?
thanks
Yes, it does have double tap to wake and also double tap to sleep, I use it all the time, but I don't use the ambient display feature (useless). However, please note that it does not unlock the phone, only wakes it up, you will then need to enter the PIN or fingerprint.
As title, there is any way to lock the screen without pressing the power button?
I used to lock the screen with fingerprint sensor on my old Moto G5 Plus but on this Zenfone 6 i still couldn't figure out a way to lock it without pressing the on/off button. Besides not being so practical it will wear the button faster and we all know how things are made today... to not last.
You can set double tap on status bar to sleep. Works good enough.

Thanks, i had a new look and i found the setting under gestures. I was missing it because i think theres a issue with the translation to Portuguese. On the quick description it says something like "Double tap to activate LCD".

How can i set double tap on status bar to sleep? Can't seem to find this options. Thanks in advance
It's enabled by default, there is no dedicated settings. Once enabled double tap in settings, double tapping on status bar will turn off the screen.
You can double tap anywhere to lock your device, not only on status bar. The area you tap must be empty (icon free). I keep the center of the home screen empty for convenience.

Mine wasn't enabled by default so i had to go to Settings>Advanced>Gestures>Touch Gesture>Double Tap to turn off screen needs to be enabled
Is anyone else having the same issue?
Double tap only works when the ambient display is showing (the clock before the lock screen).
If you turn off ambient display all together, double tap does not work.

Double tap works for me without ambient display being on.
I'm on stock 58.0.A.28.51.
Looks like it's one of the system apps whose permission I modified.
I just did a factory reset
It seems like a common issue with this phone. My tap to wake has never worked properly and it's driving me insane. Tap tap tap TAP TAAAAP, then it works. Sometimes.
Does anyone have a solution for this before I throw it out of the second floor window?
Yeah, that's one of the very few annoying things. I wonder if it has to do with the screen protector? There have been user reports of lower touch sensitivity (mostly at the edges of the screen) due to screen protectors.
Double tap isn't working again when ambient display is set to "OFF" and I have not messed around with system app permissions.
I did verify that 2x tap is working after I debloated the phone with AD set to "OFF". Not sure what has changed since then because I have not used this phone since debloat.
More details:
-2x tap will only work when AD is showing
-for as long as AD is showing that clock, 2x tap works
Double tap and lag-free notifications should work much better when you set "Smart activation" in Ambient display settings (lokk in "When to show Ambient display" settings).
Same issues, tried many things mentioned here and more ... you'd think simple things like this would work flawlessly in a high end phone. Really tired of digging and digging in the phone and online to find solutions, so frustrating. Sony will have to make something extraordinary in the future to convince me to buy another phone from them ...
It's way too long time have passed from the last post, but I was wondering about the same issue of double tap when searching for the answer had led me to this topic. I've recently bought two same phones, not Sony but Nokia 5.4 with Android 10 and stucked in gesture unlock too. Though this topic didn't helped me, later I've found the solution by myself and eager to share the way that did worked for me with everyone.
So, if the double tap to wake up the screen suddenly stopped working, try this:
1) go to Settings-System-Gestures
2) find the "double-tap wake" option and turn it OFF
3) back to home screen and lock the phone with the power button
4) unlock the phone with any way
5) go to Settings-System-Gestures
6) find the "double-tap wake" option and turn it ON
That's all, your favorite unlocking must work again (well, both my phones were healed). Good luck! )
Inversely, you can't disable tap to wake on the AOD.
Infuriating.
In any case, 3-taps always works for me
Including this phone and Pixel 2XL.
Hi there, I'm interested in getting this phone, but wondering if it can wake by double tapping the screen?
thanks!
The closest thing I have gotten working is double tap to sleep (via Nova Launcher settings). But I don't think there's any way to enable double tap to wake on this phone.
You can double tap the finger print sensor to wake the phone...... But not the screen.
