Double tap to wake - Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good day was wondering if there is any double tap to wake utility for this device because can't find anything on the forums or the Internet, thanks a lot regards

Your hardware doesn't support real tap to wake. But you can try something like this, if you don't care about battery drain: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.knockz

Try to press the HOME button , my Note Pro sleeps and not using for a week, I wake it up either the POWER or HOME button.

Did you already try some "shake to wake" app?
It's the best solution to save buttons with a low battery consumption.

Nexus 4 Power button problem

Hi all,
not if anyone has been the same for a few months but I have problems with the power button . Never work the first time .
Is there any solution that does not involve replacing the switch ?

Yes.
- DoubleTap2Wake - slightly higher battery drain
- Proximity sensor wake - slight battery drain
- Volume button wake - no battery drain
The problem with "Volume Button Wake" solution is that it doesnt lock. And yes, you can use DoubleTapStatusBar, but its difficult to lock without looking and you have to be very precise.
Thank you, I must have rooted my telephone for use these applications? sorry for my ignorance

Greenify users can activate the hibernation+lock solution using the Google Search-like swipe up from the navbar. Works like a charm and you don't have to rely on xposed.

take the back cover off , shove some plastic underneath the power button make sure it fits properly , screw tthe cover back on = profit

You can always download a Screen Off app from the app store, and use a custom launcher to bind it to a gesture (swipe up/down, double tap)
Smart launcher got double tap to sleep option, i love it.
I use Power widget to screen locking and voulme key to wake (xposed).

[Q] is there a way to decrease capacitive buttons delay?

I was wondering if anyone is aware of a way to decrease capacitive buttons delay on the opo? Having to wait so long to bring up recent app list or go to Google Now is simply not acceptable for me after coming from N5 where it was instant. I know I can use on screen buttons but I would like to stick using the capacitive ones but with decreased delay. I am running ART so xposed is not an option. I would also like to stay with stock luncher if possible. Please let me know guys, any help will be much appreciated! (BTW, I searched the forums and Google and found nothing, if it is somewhere out there I apologise in advance!)
What shortcut do you use to bring those things up? Long press? Have your tried double tap instead? I use double tap home for recent apps and it's delay isn't as much as long press home for recent apps

Double tap unlock/lock the screen

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.

double tap to wake the screen

here's a small thing I have seen on many phones that have come out in the past year or so that I was taking for granted would exist on the s7, double tapping on the screen to wake it and view your notifications.
its one of the smallest, yet most useful (I feel), little tricks that will save tons of time.
I was hoping it'd be in the "experimental" features the galaxy labs have to offer but nada.
any ideas about getting it on there and/or a way to feed this back to samsung while they still have time to implement this?
re:
"double tapping on the screen to wake it and view your notifications."
Hi
since 7.0 : you can directly go to any of the lock screen, - shown by : AOD - notifications, by clicking on any.
but if AOD is disabled, than there is no way to see them, SO a Xperia z3 like double tap to wake would be appricated

you mean its implemented in nougat so we're waiting for it?
it'd be great if we didn't have to have AOD to get that considering how simple and awesome of a feature it is...

Its on other devices as well. Samsung doesn't really have it because they have physical button where others don't. But yeah, they all should have it
having physical button solves screen turn on comfortability so, why we need double tap? it's additional drain for battery

It doesn't even use 1% battery in a whole battery cycle unlike aod!

Seriously:laugh: I said less than 1% to not say 0% and for me, Double Tap is way more convenient than having to press a home button. And u could always turn double tap feature off if u don't like it, i.e, if there was ever a double tap feature!
A 'touch fingerprint button' to wake up & unlock the screen like other Androids would also be great.

being s7's button physical, it's not able to unlock device from deep sleep, at least samsung won't include it if it's even possible and having 2tap2wake will be nonsense at this point... well i dont say it's bad feature, but i just try to explain that Sammy won't include it until we got rear mounted half-physical sensor
The KnockOn feature that LG has would never be nonsense on any phone. It is more convenient than waking with the home button. With the button you have to push a button in a specific place on the phone. With KnockOn you quickly double tap anywhere on the screen.

I love LG's double tap unlock, it is most useful especially during one hand operation with these humongous 5.5in phones. It eliminates fear of dropping phone trying to reach home or power button with 1hand.

Question Tap to wake randomly doesn't work

I generally like my 6A, but I am so frustrated by the fact that sometimes I can tap the screen to wake it, and sometimes I have to push the power button.
Does anyone else experience this, and do you have a solution ?
For background, yes I have tap to wake turned on.
Is global power management active? That can cause erratic behaviors.
It doesn't work for me outside at night.
There was a time when it was broken, afte a few seconds of screen off it will stop working, but that was a beta build.

I've searched settings and I don't find global power management. Can you point me in the right direction?

Interestingly, mine doesn't wake up after being in my pocket for a while. That's when it happens 99% of the time

What ROM are you on?
100% stock with the March security update recently applied.
A long time ago I read something about connecting to a Bluetooth device interfering with the tap to Wake feature.
When I got the March security update everything was working fine and I figured that Google had corrected whatever was wrong.
I don't know if it's coincidence, but yesterday I connected my Bluetooth speaker and son of a gun. Now it's doing the same thing again.

It's an Android core feature. Usually found in battery management with a cute name like adaptive battery.
Developer options>stand by apps, if all buckets show as active global power management is disabled. However it can't be disabled here. Altering individual app battery management doesn't effect this.
I'm rooted (stock March) and use AOSP mods option to have 'double tap to wake' replace single tap and also 'double tap to screen off' enabled and I still have times when I have to press power to wake but dub. tap to scr off is pretty reliable. FWIW I have Adap. Pwr turned off. I may see if the ASOP dev can shine some light cuz it IS annoying as hell.
I have the same problem, in addition there are identical problems with the gesture to turn on the flashlight (double tap on the back of the phone)

What are these "AOSP mods options" you speak of?
The tap to wake/double tap to sleep has been a real step down on the P6a compared to my LG-V30.
As to the OP - yes, I have seen seemingly random issues with tap to wake. Sometimes I can tap the screen several times with no response and end up resorting to the power button. Other times it just works.

Try in safe mode.
Check Accessibility options, tap duration.
Also fails for me randomly, however I'm running a custom ROM where I can toggle "pocket mode".
What I've found is that when tap to wake doesn't work, and I press the power button to wake the device, the pocket protection mode shows up on the screen for a split second (my device sitting my desk, screen up).
My guess is that the proximity sensor dies down for some odd reason, and the phone thinks the screen is covered, thus tap to wake shouldn't work.

This makes a lot of sense to me. I wish there was a fix for it.
Its almost certainly proximity sensor related.

No such option in Accessibility, or in any of the sub-options (system, Timing, etc).
Will try Safe mode later, but I'm doubtful...
Stock/rooted/Magisk FWIW
Just as an update.
Switched to LineageOS 20 (20230408 build) on sunday and have not had a single issue with tap to wake in the three days since.
