Double tap to wake - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

have this feature for honor 8?
How?
maybe root needed?

Not truly possible. There are apps (that don't need root) but you end up A) killing your battery life and B) losing or at least decreasing the functionality of unlocking other ways like with the fingerprint scanner.

You can try this and see if it works lol
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/enable-double-tap-to-wake-t3312676

Just a bit off topic: What do you think causes the 10 buck flip-case that Honor sells to cause the phone to wake and sleep? Is it magnetic, or just using some sensor it uncovers? I got one with the phone and it works great, and there appears to not be anything magnetic inside it, or even a piece of ferric metal.
Anyway: Whatever it is that allows that must be very low power because there is next to no drain (especially on the b360 OS I installed today) when it's closed. Nothing appears to be setting around sucking up power awaiting the incredible event of the cheapo case opening or closing. There is a setting for it in the settings, but I've no idea what the settings changes. Actually I suspect that link in @Saythis post could work.

you can try some xposed modules but the battery will drain faster

Not possible for now, the honor 8 kernel doesn't support it

You can try to follow instructions from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...ide-how-to-enable-double-tap-to-wake-t3426809 . This is for Huawei P9 Lite, but the script of Kernel, i think is the same. The only inconvenience is you must root your phone.

As always on XDA and with any modification, ROM, Kernel, etc. the risk is up to the user. I tried it and couldn't get it to work so I suppose the Honor 8 has a missing module/driver for it in its kernel.

EMUI supports it regardless of the kernel. The kernel doesn't need to be identical on both devices, it simply needs to have the module/driver to keep the screen capacitive when the pixels are off for DT2W. The display also has to be able to remain capacitive while the pixels are off. So no, the kernels don't need to be identical. There's a hardware requirement as much as there's a software (kernel support and OS support) requirement.

The Honor 8 doesn't support the use of double tap to wake, you could just use the fingerprint scanner on the back to wake it. Which is super fast!

Depends on your perspective. I'd like the tap to wake function if I had my handset on the desk while I was working rather than have to pick it up to check for messages, emails or miss calls.

Do you guys not have the "wake on notifications" setting ? That wakes it for any notification (or it does as I've got it set on b360 right now, but it worked on b320 as well).
Also, I mentioned before that the 10 buck flip case turns on the screen and I can't even find a piece of magnetic metal in that cheap case, so it might be using some sensor and there is a setting for it also in the settings. (case-on == on). Gotta be a way between these things.
I was wrong about the magnet: I found it using a paper clip and it is the lower half of the screen-facing area on the honor8. It's a "slight" magnetism and apparently the settings switch enables it's detection. I was hoping it was using a different type of sensor that we could spoof.

Try "Glance Plus" from Google Play. I use it on my H8 and it works just the way I want.
Wave hand over proximity sensor to check for messages, missed calls, date, time and battery status, it's configurable. To wake up your phone, double tap on screen.
Can't give you a link, I'm a new user, but find it at Google Play!

The glance is a better Idea for me

I will definately look into that! Sounds like a great way to check the notifications without having to use the fingerprint scanner.

A way to turn on my tablets screen when walking past it?

Hey guys, I've an Advent Vega, and would love if I could find a way to use the front camera to activate the screen when passing?
I'd leave it plugged in by the door, so as I'm leaving/coming home I can see the weather forecast and any tasks or emails waiting for me.
Any ideas guys n gals?

Use smart screen on/off app.. It uses proximity sensor to lock or unlock device.. you can probably Swype your hand at the sensor n unlock it..
Sent from my fingers to your face using xda premium.!
That's aaalmost what would be ideal... just... i'd like it to be from the camera... for instance when I turn the coridor light on when I get home, or walk past it, so I can take a quick look passively without having to interact.
Anybody else got a suggestion? Maybe something paired with Tasker somehow?

One thing you must know if that your front camera cannot sense your motion or anything.. no hardware support for it.. It's just like how your eyes cannot detect smell..
At the max you can make use of your proximity sensor for that purpose..

Yes, I'm just wondering if there's a way to do it with a 3rd party app. Something that would keep the front camera turned on or take photos every second, and then continually process images for motion detection. Once detected, it would then activate the screen.

You could also keep another smartphone on your person and have the two devices paired and set the phone left at home to wake up when the paired device comes within range.

I'm not certain, regardless of the setup you use, you need to be aware that nothing will work to do this if the device that you want to wake is in sleep mode or if the device has a screen lock enabled, no matter what you do. You'd have to permanently disable your pass/pin/pattern lock on the device that you want to wake remotely so that the device can stay in a state where it can detect the paired device when it approaches. You would still need to unlock the "normal" lockscreen that would normally require you to swipe the screen, but there is an option that automatically unlocks the screen when a paired "trusted device" is detected.
There are some options available that can wake the device when a paired device is detected, provided that the device to be woken is not in deep sleep or has a pass/pin/pattern lock enabled. Combine that with the "trusted device" option and it should do what you want and none of it should require root.
There is also a more complicated method to have the device set to wake when the paired device comes in range, but it requires writing some code and implementing the code on the device. But I think there is a way to do this with just enabling/disabling some settings, pairing the devices and setting the paired device that you will keep with you as the "trusted device", either via built in settings(if the device has them) or by installing an app that lets you connect the device as a "trusted device".
What is the android version on the device that you want to wake up remotely?
The tablet is TB-X606F on android 10 and my phone is on 12. I have disabled all kinds of screen lock, even the swip, so as soon and you press the unlock button you are presented straight away with the desktop. I can't though see any options around unlocking when paired, I'm going to put Tasker on the tablet and see if there is any options for screen unlock when in range and screen off when not in range. Failing that whole idea, all I can think of is using Flux to dim the screen to 0 when I turn the living room lights off at night effectively rendering the screen off at nighttimes?

Double tap to wake screen

I can't find the option to enable the double tap to wake the screen on my Xz Premium.

Yeah, seems like Sony has removed that feature on XZs and XZ Premium
I hope they add it back. I wonder if it's something to do with the 4k screen? Does anyone know if it's on the z5 premium?

Hello dvdman2k,
Yes the double tap to wake is on the Z5P; however I found it something of a mixed blessing as was inclined to wake from unintentional screen touches while in a pocket (in the Style Cover SCR46 with the active window). Having just migrated to the XZP I'd noticed the feature's absence, but almost with some relief !
Regards,
Kevin
PS. Having now used the device for a week or so, I've changed my opinion. There are some occasions when the Double Tap function would be very good to have. Others when I'd prefer it turned off (eg. to prevent inadvertent activation while in a jacket pocket). So my conclusion is that I'd like to see the functionality re-instated in the ROM , but with a user-controlled toggle in Settings so that it is flexible to suit requirements.

Hi kevinpwhite
Coming from Moto Z I liked the feature where you could wave hand over the display and it would wake up & the finger. Print reader is on the front of the phone.
Sometimes I want to wake the screen without pressing the power Button.
Thanks

I have double tap to lock using Nova Prime as my launcher. I don't use double tap to wake even when available because too often the screen starts up when the phone is in your pocket. However, I do wish that the fingerprint reader would unlock the phone WITHOUT having to actually press the button in just like most fingerprint readers work. Maybe they could make it work this way? In fact I am sure they could because when you are setting up your various fingers for access you do not have to push the button in. In fact if you accidentally do push it in while registering your prints it will close the screen and you have to start all over. SO I believe they could make it live/active just like any other fingerprint reader. How do we actually get these requests to Sony directly? I also wish they would unlink the ringtone volume from the notification volume.
Things might change in the next update.

This is a mandatory feature for me. I won't buy a phone without it. In fact, I pretty much need to have lift-to-wake and/or some kind of always-on-display. Pushing a power button to turn on your phone is so 2015.

Per my earlier comments, I was initially slightly relieved after the Z5P's tendency to turn on when not wanted; however, have now revised my opinion and think it would be very useful - but needs a user-selectable toggle to suit circumstances. This approach has been mooted to the Developers on the Sony Forum (they've acknowledged) and there is quite a strong voice of similar views from other users. The more strength of feeling, the more likely the feature will be re-instated in a F/W update.... :fingers-crossed:
Best regards,
Kevin
if it really bothers you, you can just buy a roxfit urban slim case for it like i have. After using a xiaomi mi5 with tap to wake , its hard going back to the old ways lol, plus less pressing on physical buttons, the longer the hardware lasts!
please bring back
Try this to wake: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jarsilio.android.waveup&hl=en
Install Nova Prime for double tap to lock.
Works great. There are other apps that do similar things in the play store. YMMV
You can always buy the official case that has a screen unlock feature. Because of it I no longer see the need of double tap to wake but it would be handy to have. I am annoyed this feature is excluded though.
Any suggestion for a simple app to do the double tap wake/lock?
Ive been using https://kernel.andro.plus/yoshino.html for DTW
Of course you need a Unlocked Bootloader
Now I'm using WaveUp, it's not like the double tap but works well for both locking and unlocking. And it has a "pocket mode" for unlock the display when you take it out from your pocket, very useful.

Missing tweaks

Hello Everyone,
I'm fresh owner (bouth a week ago) of Honor 9 and I'm very happy with the choise I've made. The phone is incredible fast (comparing from my previous Galaxy S6) and EMUI is well optimised. But, ehm let's complain a bit . I'm courious what kind of feature you're missing on your Honor 9 phone/EMUI. For me the complaining list would look like:
- Missing ability to control notification light - different freq. and color for different apps
- Gesture for home button - there would be nice if "scroll up/down" would trigger to enroll notification arean
- Dim clock as screensaver while charging (very usefull as I'm charging my phone while sleeping, and so could be use as night clock)
- Knock Knock feature on locked phone - to see notification when phone is on the table (I know there is notification LED for it)
Ok that's my complaining list. If you have any idea to overcome such a limitation feel free to suggest. Also don't hesitate to complain a bit as well

I don't think there is a way to over come your complaints without rooting your device. Even rooting your device won't allow you to use the features you want on the home button.

Hi iceepyon,
yes I believe you're right, there the missing feature about home button won't be most probably overcome without ROOTing the device and use custome KERNEL. To by honest with you I'd rather to not use the feature as some application I'm using won't run on ROOTed phones (based on official statements).
Hovewer I believe some of missing feature could be added by some app?Any recommendation?

- most phones nowadays don't have notification light. Probably because the phone spend most of its time in our hands
- I agree with this one. The fingerprint scanner supports swiping gesture
- honor 9 uses ips lcd screen, even if its dimmed, the whole screen still light up. This will heavily drain the battery
- you can use wave on proximity sensor app to turn the screen on

Well, there is honestly nothing much which can be done if you want to add the knock on wake feature. Same can be said of the notification LED as those are built into the device's official stock OS. The only thing you can do is install a 3rd party OS and hope that it has some of the features you want. However be warned that most if not all 3rd party OSes do not have the best post image processing software so your pictures won't turn out as good as if you have taken them using the stock OS that came with your device.
@iceepyon, yes I can imagine that most 3rd party OS won't have such a camera software optimalization. Btw, I've read some post about how to enable 3rd party clock as screensaver. I can't understand why Honor/Huawei disabled this feature, which is present in stcok android.

Probably due to security issues. As Huawei has been focusing quite allot on making and keeping their devices secure.

That is certainly true of rooting or installing custom OSes onto your mobile device. As there are so many things which can go wrong. However current versions of android are now at a point where unless you need to have your device rooted for work purposes. There really isn't a point for the average user to do so.

How is tha gonna stop accidental fingerprint detection and vibration??
The solution is to deactivate the fingerprint sensor ?
More seriously, there is no false detection, the sensor is doing its job, as soon as it feels a finger it tries to visualize the fingerprint, I do not see what is boring, If it wasn't so sharp it would be a nightmare to unlock the device !

No, you're wrong. It could be set to only vibrate when it detects a correct fingerprint. Which would be much more logical in my opinion. Or give the option to only activate the fingerprint sensor after power button is pressed.

the vibration is not there to validate the unlocking, something that we see anyway when the home screen opens, but to say that the analysis of the finger starts and that we are at the right place..
The last option might be fine for you, but personally it's a waste of time having to press a key before I can scan my finger, not sure Poco implements this In a future update ! ?

These options should be there for those who want them, they're easy to implement. Options are good I too find it annoying reaching into my pocket and having the phone light up and vibrate unintentionally.
Yeah noticed that also here where it rarely happend with my k20. It's just the new fingerprint placement.

Yes indeed having more options is positive, I'm just saying that I don't think they will, as it's a pretty special option that very few require.
Normally if you are looking for the device in the pocket, it should not turn on or vibrate because it is deactivated by the proximity sensor, in any case mine remains as dead if I hide the part upper screen..
I hope for you that a function will emerge
For me, it is clear that the "old" hardware fingerprint sensor is much better than the modern software sensor that's imposed on new devices.
But we cannot change this, so yes : some options for lock screen vibration activation-deactivation are welcome. Me too don't like to feel the phone vibration every time I touch accidentally the screen trying to extract something of my pocket, including the phone.

A message to all ROM developers out there...

First off, I thank every individual out there making the F1 a much much better phone. No doubt it needs much recognition like you guys do.. but I want to make an announcement on behalf of all the custom ROM lovers out there.
We all know how fricked up miui is... But the only thing which makes miui a much preferred is a very minor thing which may not be a very major thing...
1. Raise to wake.
2. Double tap to sleep or wake all over the ROM(currently it's only on the lock screen and we need it on the home screen too and make us not depend on third party launchers like Nova.
3. Faster IR sensor reaction times. Like in miui the IR Sensor wakes faster than the miui lockscreen itself thereby allowing us to bypass the lockscreen entirely. Please please we need although it looks like a gimmick but these are some user experience thingies and I and all of us would love for you to add these too... And I appreciate everyone's hardwork at making this phone one of the best phones to ever release till date. Thank you

Not sure about 1 and 3 but 2 works fine on crdroid 6.11 . (it's default launcher controlled).
To add to that i've never used the IR camera wakeup thing, since it requires a fair amount of precision and it may wake up accidentally on occasions .
Raise to wake may be set by a set value on how hard you have to shake/lift the phone to wake it up. Basically it's fine tuning which is usually done when testing a rom / needs a person that's wiling to test just that.
Again, personally i find using 2 fingerprints being the fastest way to unlock a phone, since you can place your finger in the pocket and fully unlock it. Come to think of it i can think of a few cases where it can be useful, but still, those people usually buy iPhones, because they want to feel special.

Lmao iPhone noobs be wrecked by Poco F1. For me the only thing that made me stay on the miui albeit the bugs is its pretty accurate raise to wake and the synchronisation between sensor and raise to wake. If I get it I'll be jumping on the roms the next day but then it's still not made yet

Regarding #2. : in LineageOS (and probably other custom ROMs), there is a new option that might get your interest. You can find it in Settings > System > Buttons > Edge long swipe action. I set it to Turn screen off.
This is what I used to "replace" double tap to sleep on Home screen to quickly put the phone to sleep.
