Knock knock - HTC U11 Questions & Answers

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

Not just double tap. Go to Settings->Display->Motion Launch Gestures.

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

Double Tap to Wake ??

I can't find anywhere.
Is it missing from H8 ?
Thanks
Is missing in this phone

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.

Could be added if we had a kernel dev.
Probably in the next Emui v5. It´s still being cooked.

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.

Does the S8+ support double-tap on?

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!?

No fingerprint gesture?!

Oneplus 6 got rid of the swipe down for notifications gesture. Is there any way we can get it back? Maybe like the flashable zip the 5t had in omnirom? This may seem like such a small thing but it's huge for me. With this gesture I dont have to reach up to get my notifications down and thats a lot less of a chance for having the phone drop and break on me. Especially because it's all glass now.

Well, the phone hasn't practically even released at this time, so it will take a bit of time to know.
I think the reason why there are no fingerprint gestures is because of the reduction in the size of the fingerprint sensor.

I use this on my 2XL, not sure if it will work with the 6, but I hope it does as my 6 should be here early next week.

Ahh, thanks for giving it a try and letting me know before I get my hands on the device. Hopefully the developer updates the app to make it compatible with the 6! (if possible)
Quite upset about the removal of this feature as well. It was really useful. I'll be looking out for it / monitoring this thread to see if anyone has a solution. Wish OnePlus would simply add it back.
Workaroud
I followed this guide and it seems to be the only app that works with my OP6
android.gadgethacks.com/how...e-notification-gesture-other-devices-0174514/
just add https before it as i can't post links yet
would be amazing to get swipe gestures, especially while reading ebooks or articles, its so convenient scrolling and reading with one hand and a coffee in the other

It does work if you download the app from the guide and enable foreground activity.
I've been using it for the past 24 hours with no issues (just the annoying android notification that there is an app running in the background which I hid so now all good)

I find this works well when you set it up for tap to toggle notification tray and enable foreground services under the non-exposed settings.
Any more updates on this? It's quite annoying they've not included that feature

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.

What do you mean?
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.

Toast says it all.
Mine works too. Try a factory reset as a last resort.
