Did you change your launcher? It does seem much slower to activate now for me but I am also using Nova. I can't help but wonder if that is why.

Yes, mine works laying down. But it takes time for that first time. Once it happens then after that it is pretty responsive but that first wake via double tap is laggy.

I have noticed that the gestures don't seem to work when you are charging it. Maybe that is the problem.
Mine stops working as well since I modified the navigation bar with gravity box. I added a screen off button and when I use it a few times, the tap/swipe to wake stops working until I turn it off and back on again
mine isnt 100% responsive, but that was the case before xposed. ive gotten used to the "triple tap" to fix this haha
That feature is only designed to work after the phone. Has been moved. So it shouldn't work laying flat on a desks and untouched.

Just curious, what other components of Gravity Box have you got working?
I find it insipid that even after you ask the OS to show you battery percentage, it insists on ALSO showing you a battery icon. I know Gravity Box can fix that on my TF300T. Anyone try that on the M8? How about coloring the status bar icons?

Noticed this happens from time to time with having to do hard reboots and then redoing everything. Quick way I found to bring it back is by turning the feature off then on and it works right away. If not, it comes back after 5-10mins.
all is good over here... im rooted and have xposed installed and double tap works perfectly
Is there any secret to making this work better to wake up the phone. I cannot seem to hit it right to get it to unlock. Sensitivity adjust?
I like the phone otherwise.
Tap the screen quickly and firmly in the same spot two times. I have no problems with it using that method.
Train wreck for me. Double tap is horrible! I started a return through Amazon, wondering if I should try a replacement first though. I have huge lag issues too on this phone.
I am having the problem with tap to open too. There are many reviews on Amazon detailing the same thing. I sent an email to Alcatel support asking if they would be addressing this issue. I am still deciding if I want to keep the phone.
Last couple of days I have had more instances of misses with this than I had the first couple of days. But still I feel I have had better luck with the double-tap.... than many others over here so far. Usually a firm tap, with your fingers bent and the fingernails almost hitting the glass, works pretty well. But at times, even a firm tap will not work, and I have noticed that un-setting the option ( in Settings -> Gestures ) and then setting it back again gets it going again. This and the lag with loading apps may be related , and I hope Alcatel release a 5.1 update soon.
I've only had an issue with this once and a reboot fixed it. I think in some cases people are not hitting the screen firmly and quickly. Also the may not be hitting the same spot as well. I have seen other phones that use the knock unlock gesture but with a knock code and maybe some people thought they could hit the screen where ever they wanted between the 2 knocks. I'm just guessing here.

what i did was disable the two incoming call option in gesture, now doubletap with no problem.
Turning off "Turn Over to Mute" seems to help with tapping to wake screen, but not tap to shut off screen.

I believe I have found the root cause of the problem. Right after I got the phone I installed Nova Launcher. I started playing around and tried switching back to the stock launcher. Immediately the double tap feature started to work consistently. Hopefully it will STAY working and Nova will update their launcher to support the double tap feature fully.

I doubt if the launcher is the issue. When the screen is off the launcher is not in control of the phone, the OS is in control. Also, I use Nova Prime and have only had 1 problem with Double Tap To Wake in the past 8 days.

I partly agree with your statement. As I understand Nova Prime includes support for double tap. The free app does not. Using the free app I can double tap to wake the phone, but not to sleep. Using the stock launcher, both functions work perfectly. I tried installing the Google Now launcher and it was the same as the free Nova launcher. No double tap to sleep.
I am new to Xda (or forums in general), but I had tons of issues with the double tap to wake feature not working. This was a shame because everything else I loved about this phone (only other thing I would change is a slight processor boost; a Snappy 801 would be perfect). Anyways, I finally got around the issue by performing these steps:
1-In Settings, navigate to Gestures and make sure 'Turn over to mute' is unchecked and 'Turn over to activate' is disabled.
2-Don't know if this is mandatory, but I also disabled the Func shortcuts in the Lock Screen Settings as well.
3-Reboot the device and don't touch these settings again
For some reason, I think Alcatel's software was not appropriately tested with all of these functions enabled. I am not sure, I just know I am having much higher hit rates (works almost every time) after performing the above steps.
Hope it works for you guys.
Lastly, if the double tap starts having issues again, just run a reboot and it should fix it (I just had to reboot after 30+ hours of standby).

works well now, the only thing we need is ROOT, unlocked bootloader is easy to achieved on this phone.

Nova has it's own double tap gesture. If you want it to turn off the screen then you will have to have it call a program like "screen off" to accomplish that. DT to wake is still handled by the lockscreen.
believe me i been looking for a way to make this double tap in look screen to work better, by accident i find out that tapping very lightly wake the phone all the time.
Double-tap not working for me. Running all stock, stock launcher.
Same here I can't get the double tap to work for anything, I tried turning off the features and func but nothing, my phone has its days where it works fine and other days where it just doesn't.
Sent from my 6045I using XDA Free mobile app
My original suggestion to fix the double tap was to reboot, but I found a much quicker way. Go under gestures and turn it off and on again. Seems to work every time it gets wonky.
i notice that D2W work almost perfect while the phone on charger ...so it may be power saving mode that make the digitizer off after several minutes???!!!
I searched through the forum and really couldnt find what I was looking for, so apologies if its there and I missed it.
Can anyone point me to what controls the double tap to wake gesture? It has always worked for me, even without using sense but after updating to 5.0.1 and loading up Nova and Next (used C locker previously) the double tap to unlock doesnt work. After it stopped working I think it has worked a handful of times in the interim. I have tried re-enabling some things, but cant seem to find what I did that is causing it to be disabled so any guidance in the right direction is appreciated.
Thanks
9.5.6 update, non-root, US unlocked version. Anyone having this feature randomly stop working, including tap to wake? Is there a temp fix or is this a software update needed from one plus?

Disable ambient display for now and use double tap to wake. OnePlus is working on it. I hope
*#808# in dialer and go to device debugging. Calibrate the proximity sensor. Seems to have fixed it for me.

haha i am in the same boat - havent rooted yet, or even unlocked the bootloader, but that issue drove me nuts. I found the answer on the oneplus forums. Happy to help buddy!
Hello everyone,
Does anyone also have issue with Quick Tap? From yesterday I am suddenly unable to use it to toggle torch light. It simply doesn't do anything. But when I go to the settings and try the double tap, it registers the double tap just fine. Also using different option works fine, just Torch does not.
The phone is really buggy and I'm starting to get disappointed. I though that if there is any Android device that should work fine that it is device directly from Google, but probably not.
It's a software glitch report it to Google via feedback. To fix it turn the feature off reboot and toggle it back and it'll work again. Every single time you reboot you'll have to make sure it's toggled off. Otherwise when you reboot and the feature is on it won't work again until you toggle it off reboot and then back on.
