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?

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.

raise to wake

raise to wake feature ? like oppo does

What?

is this feature possible in oneplus 6 ??

I am asking myself the same question. On Xiaomi mi 8 and others, you have the option to lift the phone and wake it, and without presing any buttons face unlock kicks in, and unlocks the phone instantly. On OP6 you must press the power button so the face unlock kisks in. Is the xiaomi way to unlock possible on OP6.? Anyone...

yep ... just install Port of miui10 ROM

its much buggy

There is a option to double tap to open.

Yes, the OP6 has a lift to wake feature out of the box.

Lift 2 wake? No, it only Shows the Ambient screen

If u want u can try gravity screen app, it has function to switch screen on by motion, and this may help you

Oh, you mean waking up the lockscreen ! My bad.
Double tap to wake does this, though !

Double tap to wake in-call not working

Double tap to wake is not working for me while in a call. Is that the way the OnePlus 7 Pro is supposed to work or is it my default dialer that is causing the issue? Drupe.

i just tried to duplicate your issue, while in call, screen never goes to sleep, up to ear screen off, away from ear screen on. If I hit the power button while in call, and double tap to wake up, nothing happens. I would say probably design default.

It's done by design to not allow DTTW in call

Thanks. I wonder why? Seems like a step back to me.

More than likely that way a double tap from your face does not unlock the phone and you face starts pressing things or even hang up on somebody.

phone not wake up just after removing phone from ear

You can double tap to wake now as long as you're not on a call.

keeps turning screen on in pocket

Is there any way to get a pocket option on this phone?
It keeps turning the screen on in my pocket and whenever I pull it out it says fingerprint tried too many times and I even turned off tap to wake and double tap to wake and it still does it in my pocket
Any advice?

You can use tap to wake or double tap to wake. Try turning off pick up your phone to show in ambient display settings.
I have that off and tap to wake on and don't get screen wakes in my pocket.

Tap to wake, double tap to wake, sweep to wake, all useless (here). Phone will wake up no matter what, will send random texts, change my ringtones, call people, all while in pocket.
It's amazing something like this can happen on a flagship phone in 2019. But... I guess "they're working on it". :good:

Sounds like you have body detection on. So try going in to security & lockscreen / smart Lock then turn off on body detection. Hope it helps.

Look for 'Lift to wake' in your settings.
