is there this function? clicking in icon on ambient display, opens the relative app or simply unlock phone?
thanks
Yes, it does have double tap to wake and also double tap to sleep, I use it all the time, but I don't use the ambient display feature (useless). However, please note that it does not unlock the phone, only wakes it up, you will then need to enter the PIN or fingerprint.

Hey guys,
I'm really needs to know if there is an option within the phone for "double tap" the screen to "unlock it"?
How to get this function working smoothly without any additional functions?
Thanks for reading.
Unfortunately not an option. Otherwise u can use ur finger print to unlock the phone
Isn't there at least an app functioning the same thing? If so which is the best one
No recommendations since your battery will drain .
You can at least add double tap to sleep on the Status bar functionality through the double tap to sleep xposed module. For me i use the fingerprint scanner to wake up the device and double tap the status bar to make the phone sleep as i don't like pressing the power button too much.
Basically one thing that I despised about the Pixel 3 XL when I had it was that you can't use the double tap to wake without using the Ambient display, and it appears from what I hear is that it's the same way on the OP7P. You actually have to do a Quad tap on the Pixel 3. Double tapping twice. What idiot at Google thought that was a good idea.
On my currently S10+, I have AOD and Ambient display turned off, and if I double tap the screen it takes me right to the lock screen so I can easily see what my notifications are. That's the way I prefer it. I know you can hit the power button, but I prefer to use the double tap method.
So, that one thing pretty much killed my desire to buy this phone. There is no way to turn off the Ambient display on the pixel 3 and still use double tap to wake, and it seems this stock feature carried over to the OP7P. Samsung at least gives people a choice.
So before I give up totally on buying this phone, does anyone know a setting or a hack to get it to work like the S10+ does?
You can double tap to show your lock screen on the 7 Pro. You can also double tap on a blank area of your home screen to lock the screen.
Yep 2 taps while screen is off will turn phone on at lock screen.....not ambient display or like a aod type screen.... and i like that because next move is just unlocking device
Nova launcher has a gestures input section and you can choose to "screen lock" with double tap, see attached. Hmm read your title which is misleading, makes it seem like you wanted to lock the phone with dbl tap.
It's in the kernel settings, it seems. Maybe somewhere else. I don't think I'm going to do DT2W because of the fingerprint sensor
Thanks for all the replies.
One thing that I noticed in all the review videos I watched on Youtube, is that when they double tap the screen, it shows the black ambient screen with the little icons for notification, not the actual lock screen. Then they use their finger to unlock.
So what you guys are saying is that it can be set up to when you double tap it takes you right to the lock screen wallpaper which shows the actual notifications and their text and not the black screen with just the time and little notification icons?
I like to actually see the notifications and what they say when I double tap like when the phone is sitting on my desk. I always hated that on the Pixel I had to double tap, and then double tap again.

Ya the title was the best I could come up with at that moment.
In settings/display/ambient display turn off tap to display. That is how mine is set up and when I double tap the lock screen comes up. I have it set to pick up phone to show which will show the ambient display.

Because you need to enable another setting for double tap to wake.
Settings> button & Gestures> quick Gestures> Double tap to wake.
Under buttons & gestures\quick gestures turn on double tap to wake.

I wish I had seen your post before I looked up the same thing and posted it.
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.

Hi there, I'm interested in getting this phone, but wondering if it can wake by double tapping the screen?
thanks!
The closest thing I have gotten working is double tap to sleep (via Nova Launcher settings). But I don't think there's any way to enable double tap to wake on this phone.
You can double tap the finger print sensor to wake the phone...... But not the screen.
Double tap screen lock not working. Phone wakes up after double tapping but does not lock when the screen is on
try reset phone?
You need to also set the double tap to sleep/wake in the POCO launcher as well.
For unknown reason Xiaomi had 2 separate settings for double tap to wake/sleep. You need both turned on.
For double tap to sleep, you need to minimize to launcher and then double tap a blank space in launcher.
You should use Poco Launcher. Any other may not work, like lawnchair launcher. Anyway, with Nova launcher double tap to on/off screen works, but you should give administrator and aceessibility permissions.
