Previously had H7; on H8 neither I can find it. It's not there at all. Don't understand why it's removed/left out.
Want it back, and native. No patch/crack w/root to be needed, as hereto for it wasn't needed as well.

I would like to have also , Double Tap to sleep ..
Pity we cant attribute this function to the fingerprint sensor .
Would like to have a shortcut for this setting , dont want push power button each time.

No, i want it with EMUI
I found ?* alternative solution. I downloaded Screen Off from playstore , and attributed it to long press fingerprint sensor.

If the fingerprint sensor is kept at front, then that can be the reason.
This should not be the reason for the mobile with Back FP sensor and Smart button.
Honor 5X also do have FP sensor. But it has double tap to wake feature.

Simply didn't want to include in honor 8's kernel

This mod doesn't work. What I'd like is ambient display.

Could be added if we had a kernel dev.

Probably in the next Emui v5. It´s still being cooked.

Maybe, let's hope that our device (yeah mine is on the way) will have a great community support

Sure.
Then, after you double tap it, you need to unlock by fingerprint... because, as you said, you are forced to keep it up to use FP.
I'm not saying Honor did right choice.
But if you choosed a back FP phone, maybe you did it wrong...

When im sleeping, i suppose to have mobile near me rather than a watch or a clock. So that i can see the time while waking up. Especially during holidays without alarm.

Double tap to sleep never was a feature of HTC smartphones. Nothing wrong there.

Thanks for the info. I didnt use M8 and M9 so i dunno double tap to sleep was there or not. But in my HTC A9 the option is present. I'm tagging the screen shot.

I am not too sure of it myself. Still on Sense 6, maybe things changed with Sense 7. Also, on Sense 6 double tap to sleep does work, but only on the lock screen. Once the phone is unlocked, it doesn't. Maybe that's how it functions on the A9 too? You can try it.
Only works on the lockscreen as in Sense 6

Yup. Exactly. It works when the screen is locked, after i wake it up with double tap. But i have used asus zenfone selfie. It works even when on screen is unlocked.

Different OEMs have different implementation. Asus may work like that, HTC doesn't.

That requires more battery, as far as I know. HTC uses a motion sensor, and consumes lesser battery. Hence, can work only on a locked screen, else it'll interfere with normal usage. I'm not too sure, but I guess that's that.
What you are saying is write but two things 1. Wouldn't it consume more battery when its in standby for double tap?-which htc has. 2 . What is the actual use of double tap to sleep on a lock screen which i have just unlocked by a double tap!!!

dt2w
check your notification on the lockscreen
dt2s
this is the only useful thing you can do with dt2s imo. If you don't have a lockscreen then yep dt2s is useless. Of course its not working when the screen is unlocked, would be a pain to use a phone which would turn off everything you tap twice on the screen

Fingerprint quick action

Just tried this app and it seems to work with our fingerprint scanner. I set the Tap option to 'go home' and the swipe option to 'expand notifications panel, both of which are working well.
And double tap to sleep is working also.

Hi, correct me if I'm wrong but when touching the fingerprint sensor it unlocks the device & thereby waking it up?

I think he means waking it without unlocking..?
Hello.I installed aosp rom, and the mobile data, doesn't work.I return to multilanguage miui 8.0.9.0 and i mean:I want when my phone is in my pocket, when i grab it, and touch the fingerprint sensor, to wake up the device and to open the unlock screen, because for me is better this idea, not to push the power buton to wake up the device..I hope that you understand my idea.Thanks

This is the wrong section to post in for a start, but there isnt any Nougat for the Redmi note 4 as of yet (it hasnt been confirmed from Xiaomi whether there actually will be or not), either official or unofficial.

Mate, if you are using Jio I think I might be able to help you on that AOSP rom
First : go to setting and then to SIM cards
Second : Select the SIM slot in which Jio is inserted
Third : Go to access point names and start creating new APN
Fourth : Set the Name and APN as jionet(basically both need to be the same and you can set anything you want)
Fifth : Now without altering anything to scroll down and change APN protocol and only that to IPv4 and save the APN and make it the main one
I think that will solve the custom ROM incompatibility of Jio sim
Guys, could you check if this app does effect the battery life or etc?
Also does it require root?

Hey bro. I used this app, I love it but when this app is in action i can't take pictures using fingerprint sensor. When i touch the sensor to take pictures the screen flashes as if a picture is taken but nope. Then I uninstalled this and that worked fine
Sorry this app for sd or mtk
Thanks

It's available in play store so it's universal i think. It would work on any phone with a fp sensor i think.

Knock on/off with Fingerprint

Hello guys,
is there a possibility to set up knock on / knock off feature which is compatible with the fingerprint sensor? I tried several apps from the playstore, all had problems with the fingerprint sensor. So ist there another possibility? Thx for your answers.
What do you mean with "knock feature"? Let me understand so that i could help ya if in my possibilities

Face Unlock

Hello :fingers-crossed:
I have set up my face unlock but when my screen is off the only way I can get back into my phone is by using the fingerprint method, What am I doing wrong?
It doesn't work like Huawei or Honor mobiles.
You've got to either double tap the screen or press the power button to initiate the process.
thanks for the info, i think the fingerprint option will be quicker then
It's good here...
But does not beat the auto faceunlock of my Honor view 10.
I take that phone out of my shirt pocket and without pressing anything, it's unlocked before I even look at it.

I was exaggerating for effect.
But it's true.
Face unlock is the only thing I miss of my View 10.

Disappoint

3 apdates and still the double tab to wake don't work as aspected. If you don't want to gumball by a Samsung!!!
I've noticed that too, and honestly didn't give much thought. I thing I've noticed lately, is the camera auto focus. The app will almost crash when I move around. It'll lag trying to refocus. Sadly the phone isn't living up to the high standards that OP has been pushing.

Really? Oh boy, you'll be in for a surprise then.
Ask oneplus 5/5T/6/6T owners how they feel about it.
Still, to this day, it fails once per day or so. Not sure how bad is it on OP7, but still fails on my OP6 to this day.
In before: "never happened to me" [emoji23]

I think double tab doesn't work as reliable as previous update.
I'll vouch for this too. The double tap to wake just doesn't work reliably. For that matter neither do the gestures. Disappointing because that's one of my favorite features of OOS.

go to display setting and then ambient display and turn off " Tap the screen to show "
LOL... working perfect for me. Latest update. Dunno what's wrong with your phones.
Not a single problem for me with DT2W, Anyway I use Custom Kernel.

There is no dt2w when this is on anyway so no idea why you think this will solve anything

after you turn off this and then go to " buttons & gestures " and turn on DT2W.
Toast says it all.
Mine works too. Try a factory reset as a last resort.
