I got very used to this on my V20 and now I can't seem to find it or make it work on my S8+. Is double-tap on supported?

How did you get it to work? I can't seem to find the setting anywhere and double-tap doesn't work when I tap on the screen.
You can just hard press where the home button is to wake the phone up.
I agree with the OP. i could take anywhere on the v20. I would like to do the same thing on this phone but it doesnt seem that option is available. 2 things i miss... Tap anywhere and using "ok google" without ever touching the phone.

How is that double-tap? I found a tutorial that shows how to use it using Nova Launcher which I use any way, but it just locks the device not wakes it up.

I found the OK Google, you press and hold where the home button should be on the bottom of the screen in the center and that starts OK Google.
Yeah this is one feature that kinda annoys me that they left out. Like come on Samsung my girls lg k10 can do it but the mighty s8+ can't. Really!?

You can double tap the home button on the AOD to wake the phone.

Hey folks,
I'm almost going nuts with this topic, can't find anything useful on the internet.
Is there any way to activate the Smartwatch 2 without the power-button? Yes, you can activate the back-light by double-tap, but you can't unlock the display without pushing the power-button (and wiping).
Double-tap and then be able to wipe would be nice. Or if I take a look at the watch the back-light goes on and then I already want to have the possibility to wipe the lock screen away. Is that somehow possible?
Regards

Thanks for the answer, but I don't believe in Santa anymore.
Edit:
But maybe the easter bunny exists and I gave it a try: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Wirel...creen-without-power-button/m-p/819109#U819109
i got a few posts on that forum as well, never got a reply from Sony
crossing my fingers the easter bunny will wake up soon
gravity screen is for your phone indeed, not for the watch
On the 6.0 update?
For me...
1. Faster fingerprint reader/unlock animation
2. New keyboard layout
3. Finally having an option to switch to pin code for alternative option if fingerprint isnt working
4. Adjustments on touchwiz
5. Google now on tap
6. New emojis
7.Faster phone ?? (hopefully)
Is speed an issue? My Note5 is smooth and quick. *shrug* Now on Tap is actually pretty cool. I don't use a protective lock screen so I don't know about that. I'd like to be able to activate Samsung Pay with a swipe up from the S-View window, but that won't happen.

Speed is definitely not an issue lol, but there are somethings that need a speed improvement.. such as the fingerprint reader. I just hope i dont see any lag. Im assuming you use Find my mobile? if you dont use a protective lock screen. And i dont use samsung pay or NFC payment for that matter, but i understand your struggle haha.
I could root my device, but i choose not to. Reason being is it will possibly lose value once Knox has been tripped.

I do use Find my Mobile but I also use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rickclephas.fingersecurity to lock certain apps. It only locks those apps when I am not connected to my WiFi or my cars Bluetooth. Maybe with the new fingerprint API I'll lock the whole phone up.
I also noticed when watching marshmallow beta for s6/s6 edge is that the capacitive buttons dont light up when touching the screen... which is a smart move from samsung. It saves battery and it makes sense. It only lights up when pressing them or when pressing the home button.

Thats looks like a really useful app! And yes, really looking forward to the new fingerprint API. We can finally make purchases with just our fingerprint reader on play store, amazon, ebay, etc... hopefully.
I hope they fix the keyboard lag I have with every keyboard.
New emojis?! What are the supposed to look like in 6.0? Also what is Google on tap?

Actually it makes no sense, whatsoever. The entire point of the capacitive buttons lighting up when you touch the screen is so you can see them in the dark in order to press them.. lighting up when you touch them makes zero sense, why would I need them to do THAT?

It only takes about an hour to learn which is which... Its unecessary for the lights to turn on everytime you touch the screen, its just pointless.

They didn't light up because it was a Beta and the rooted kernel broke it even more on some devices, but made them work better on other devices. There's also mods you can use to just turn them off if you don't like them. Xposed. Or just go into the settings!!!
Also, just because you don't like them being on, doesn't mean that they are pointless. Tests have also been done to see just how much battery life is affected by Capacitive buttons and you can't even tell how much they use.
By the way, a lot of people like myself, work in dark places and have to use our phones. Think about that for a minute.:good:
The only thing I'm looking forward to is a phone that doesn't get an update and have it cause the phone to be worse than before. Right now my stock Note 5 works just fine.

Okay, so I've had many phones before this one and none of them ever done this before..
So I was at work and my phone was in my pocket with a iris and password lock on but I've just noticed it's on the lockscreen witch is dumb… but anyway, somehow inside my pocket I called 911 due to somehow turning on the phone inside my pocket and pressing the emergency button..
So my question is since this has never happen before if I can somehow disable that button and possibly make it invisible and no longer there so I don't do it again.
I googled and some said if I used another lock screen from the market but I don't wanna do that unless I have to and plus idk which one would be good for this phone in the first place…
So please, someone help lol I gotta work tomorrow and don't wanna pocket dial 911 again.
Also am I the only one who has done this with this phone or is it a common issue?
Keep screen turned off option in display.
Pretty sure that will do it

It was on. Im trying to remove it all together tho if possible.
It turns out I need root or download another lock screen… which will suck because idk if I can use my iris scanner if do that
Well, I am guessing the emergency call thing has to be there legally...
I cant find the setting (the one how when you press home it goes straight to pin?)
Turn that off so atleast you will have to swipe up to get to where the emergency button is.
(i know this isnt a fix but its another step you have to accidentally do)
This has got to be one in a million. It's a lot of very specific presses, swipes, and numbers that Have To be pressed.

Well for my screen it's right where you type the password or do the iris scan. And I pressed it to see if it calls right to 911 and it doesn't but theres another button after that it does.

Food for thought. Are you sure you didn't have the triple click power enabled and that is what placed the call?

Never experienced this on my phone so far...
Did you guys knew that our device has double tap to wake by default ? And it works even with the device in horizontal (like on a table).
Any other feature that is discovered by accident? LOL...

You didn't know? Lol. It existed since the M8. It's just that....it's been out for so long, and fingerprints are also a thing, so it is not really mainstream anymore.
lol I didn't!
I always flashed custom rims, on HTC u11 is the first one that I'm running stock, and tried that by accident.
Thanks

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.

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.
