Knockon function is it possible for Mate 7?

Comming from an LG G2 phone..it is actually really hard to live a life without knock on function. (double tap to wake and turn off the screen). Is there any of the hardware that makes this impossible ? or could it be implemented in future ?
What is needed by the hardware for knockon to work ?

To switch off, it works with Xposed + Double Tap To Sleep 1.0. Do you look here.

agreed, although the fingerprint scanner works like a charm it would be better with knock on when you place the phone on the desk

Wake no.

You don't need xposed. Just use a third party launcher and get screen off and lock app. Bind double tap function to the app and you're set.
Just another alternative

To be clear..you must root your device to enable knock on function ?
I have never been rooting a device and I have no plans to do it at this point..

my suggestion is for screen OFF on double tap, not screen ON (aka knock on). I don't feel like rooting too so I use the fingerprint sensor to wake my device (yes its a pain if I have it on the table and just wanna see the screen but what to do if i'm not going to root..)
and when i want to turn off the screen, i use that method previously mentioned. cant comment on rooting/xposed for knock on function as I have never tried it myself.

Bro I'm just using Buzz Launcher (the best launcher experience ever for me) ... it also has gesture control ... u can set setting double tap and action lock screen ... hope this helps ... but no double to on yet .....

Yup, Nova Launcher can do double tap to turn off the screen as well. No need to root. I don't think there are any solutions at this point to double tap to turn on the screen though.

Mate does have the overlay button tool called "suspend button" much like ios & has screen off 'suspend' function but it not something I find useful by many might like it.
App like screen off & lock may be useful for a solution to screen off.
It has shortcut/widget that could be used & also can replace the google now swype up function from home key which could be a solution for some if that function works on mate 7 UI !?
Was another app that has 3 & 2 finger screen touch gesture for screen off/lock .
Power on via tap is unlikely due to lack of development & issues with exposed.
Would of liked an option on the finger print reader to be a fast double/triple tap on option if finger print security not used.
Screen off is more important to me & few options do exist that may be satisfactory.
Is something that would of been nice added (selectable option) to the bottom virtual button bar by huawei as standard !
little things like that can make a big big difference in sales & customer happiness .

Fingerprint unlock does not work

Hello,
I always have to press the powerbutton first, before I can unlock the phone via the fingerprint sensor.
Is that normal?

yes, thats how it works on sony phones ... and i must say i like it, because of accidental touches i used to have on nexus 6p

If you are using tap to wake you don't have to press power button just put your finger on fingerprint scanner

doesnt work. Still have to press the power button first.
By the way...tap to wake up does not work on the XZ like it should: https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-XZ/Double-tap-to-wake-not-working-properly/td-p/1168519

People are so lazy that they can't even press a button nowadays.

yup, but he is right tap to wake is little off on xz( this feature worked fine on g3) and after awakening screen it should be possible to unlock it by touching fingerprint scanner

Once the screen is on, just touching the sensor unlocks for me.

Yes, this works. I am coming from a HTC 10 and here things are different.

If it helps, check out Gravity Screen, which can mimic Ambient Display-like functionality by waking up the notification screen via either proximity sensor or motion or a whole bunch of other stuff. Personally, I only use proximity sensor so the phone wakes up as I take it out of the pocket, then I just have to tap the sensor to unlock.

Activate smart cover window

Hi!
I'm a Honor and Emui noob. Just got a H8 with smart cover. I wonder if it is possible to activate the screen in the cover window (with cover still closed) with a double tap or in some other quick way when I want to see the time and notifications?

I think all you need to do is tap the active window on the cover, press the power button or the fingerprint sensor on the Honor 8, while using the active smart cover.

Just use the power button or the fp , no other way to wake up the phonr

Motion Launch

So I noticed that double tap on screen to make it light up isnt always working for me, sometimes i have to tap it for like 10 times before it works and sometimes it doesnt work at all.
Anyone else having this issue?
I have the settings turned on.
Settings --> screen --> motion launch --> first one is on.
Would like to hear your experiences with this.

same here.
i think that you need to raise your phone in portrait first (vertically) before you are able to wake it by double tapping

The phone needs to detect movement before double tap to wake to work as per the example in the motion launch settings.

Double tap to wake use proximity sensor and motion sensor. Do you have a screen protector (or anything else) that interfere with proximity sensor ?
No need to raise it vertically. If you move it frankly on a table, you can use double tap to wake.

Im not using a screen protector yet, also the case i'm using is the one that HTC provides.
The Phone is on my table, i tap on twice to unlock nothing.
I did notice that if you tap above the middle of the screen it'll work however if you use the lower end of the screen it wont work.

The phone needs some kind of motion. Chances are you're pressing the top half of the phone which is heavier, and the bottom half is moving enough for the phone to warrant the double top.
If the phone is perfectly still, no matter where you touch it, double tap won't work.

raise to wake

raise to wake feature ? like oppo does

What?

is this feature possible in oneplus 6 ??

I am asking myself the same question. On Xiaomi mi 8 and others, you have the option to lift the phone and wake it, and without presing any buttons face unlock kicks in, and unlocks the phone instantly. On OP6 you must press the power button so the face unlock kisks in. Is the xiaomi way to unlock possible on OP6.? Anyone...

yep ... just install Port of miui10 ROM

its much buggy

There is a option to double tap to open.

Yes, the OP6 has a lift to wake feature out of the box.

Lift 2 wake? No, it only Shows the Ambient screen

If u want u can try gravity screen app, it has function to switch screen on by motion, and this may help you

Oh, you mean waking up the lockscreen ! My bad.
Double tap to wake does this, though !
