Last build of mahdi rom (09/03) allow sweep to wake, also allow to set timeout to disable stw for reduce battery drain.
During a call if I don't interact with phone, I speak with interlocutor but nothing else, means that proximity sensor never activate display, then after timeout is expired, the call ends automatically.
Anybody else have this issue?
I'm on dirty flash.
Sorry for my english!

I've only 7 post, so can't post my trouble to mahdi, then I write now my 8th post . I had to reach 10 post
Nobody have this issue too?
Hello! I'm searching for an app that allows me to wake up the GS7's display through "knock on" mode like LG's device.
On playstore there are so many apps that allow us, through double tap, to turn on the screen and unlock the device directly . I don't search this type of apps because they unlock the lockscreen directly, so they are incompatible with the stock fingerprint lockscreen . I would therefore like to know if there is an app that, using the double tap, simply allows to turn on the GS7's display on the lockscreen of that, allowing us, then, to unlock the phone normally with our fingerprint .
Thank you very much for helping.
RIP battery life though lol

In Settings, Accessibility > Dexterity & Interaction > Easy screen on > switch on.
It's not double tap, but uses the proximity sensor to turn screen on by waving an object or your hand over it.
Since it's a built-in option, it uses only 1-2% battery life.
Works for me

There must be one! I'm not rooted. So I don't know if it works..
If the fingerprint reader doesn't consume much energy I would love a tap to wake for it. I guess the nexus 6p does this?
You are looking for a feature that hardware must support it and needs kernel level development.
Any software solution you find to do it is gonna need a constant wakelock and definitely is going to kill your battery in a few hours.

thanks for that tip :good:
Try glance plus in Play store. You can set it to double tap to wake or even using fingerprint to unlock. The best app IMO.

Could anyone help me solving this annoying useless bothering "issue" that activates the touchscreen whenever i use ambient sisplay ? What i mean is that, unlike before ( marshmallow i guess ), when you're using ambient display and a notification pops up or if you take out your phone out of your pocket, if you unavoidable touch the screen, it directs you into the lock screen. I want to disable this thing just like it used to be before. Unfortunately i have almost no start point. Afaik i have to edit some apks, i took a look into firmware-res.apk into values folder for some strings but i couldn't find anything related to ambient display which seems to be attached to doze. If anyone can help by any mean i would be very pleased. Thanks.
I got my OP7 Pro today. Double tap to wake with screen off doesn't seem to work. Anyone know what the secret is? What am I missing?

You have to turn it on in display settings under ambient display. It's turned off by default, or at least mine was as well as pickup to show.
None of my screen off gestures are working...

I think he means the feature is broken. It's not working for a bunch of us after the day-one update. It works when it wants to. OnePlus has done nothing to fix this and I'm just about ready to get my money back. Just because it's working fine for you doesn't mean we're doing something wrong.
Yeah, lock screen gestures and single/double tap don't work on the latest update, but I believe they're working on fixing it, going through repro steps right now according to their bug page. I'm sure it'll get fixed soon, and it's not a make or break issue to me by any means.
What version are you guys on?
I'm on oxygen 9.5.5 T-mobile gm1915 not having any issues.
I came here to find this out. It's works randomly.
I don't know what I did, but it is working now. I have rebooted twice and it has persisted so +1 on the issue being random. I more wanted to know if others were experiencing the same behavior. Thanks for the replies!
Having tested this, It works randomly during low light situations, and all the time in normal/extreme light situations, such as outside in the sun or in a bright room.

Yup. This is my issue.
So my double tap to wake completely stopped working. Single tap doesn't work at all either. Not happy at all right now. Completely stopped about a half hour ago. Reboots fix nothing.
Got my phone yesterday and rooted 10 min after opening it and took update to 9.5.3. no issues at work double or single tap to wake. Used it all night setting it up and playing with it. Lit room or dark. It's been pretty consistent so far. There is an occasional time I have to tap a second time but still work on the 2nd try.
Not sure why it's random like that. Only thing I can think of is after the update... Did any of you do a factory reset? Maybe some reminant install files are causing some issues

I must be blind but how do you unlock the bootloader and root this phone? Thx

In developer options you have to turn on oem unlocking and USB defining. Have ADB and fastboot SDK installed on PC. Then while in the bootloader type... Fastboot oem unlock.
To root you need Magisk. Follow this thread

The people here saying that it has to do with light are right. I have tested this myself. Even in fairly lit rooms, if the light isn't shining directly on the ambient light sensor, Ambient Display, double-tap-to-wake, and lift-to-wake are all completely disabled. If you shine a flashlight on the light sensor, they suddenly become available. This means that if you aren't using the phone in broad daylight or VERY well lit rooms, you have to hit the power button. Aside from the inconsistency of functionality that creates, I haven't used a power button to wake my phone in 3 years. I certainly hope they plan to fix this soon, as I'm of a mind to return the phone right now. This makes it very annoying to use on a daily basis for me. I keep my house fairly dark at night when I'm watching TV.
For some reason, OnePlus has it using the ambient light sensor rather than the proximity sensor and/or gyroscope for these features. This is not how it should work.

But it seems it's different from device to device ? Double tap to wake, the lift feature and the only one tap to activate ambient light works in all light conditions for me.
Just a thought....is there an option to avoid accidental touches when in a pocket? This might explain why it works in well lit rooms and not in dark rooms.

Yes! That reproduces the issue exactly for me. I am sure this is not the only one, but this thread on OnePlus support forums reports the issue.
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/oneplus-7-pro-ambient-display-not-working.1034009/
You can see users reporting the problems inconsistency, and OnePlus seems to acknowledge the problem and they are "looking into it". Please go add your feedback as I am sure the more people that complain, the higher priority the bug will become.

This is where the inconsistency of the issue occurs... I am in my office which is lit the same way each day since I got the device (low light). The off screen gestures magically started working about 6 hours after I got the phone and were working up until this morning. Put the device close to a light source while the screen is dark, and you will see it wake up with no interaction with the screen. Screen off gestures work while in that lighting. I forced closed, cleared storage/cache of the Ambient display service and my phone now works in all lighting. It is almost as if the sensor becomes stuck in 'pocket mode' or something like that.
I noticed some funny:
Which cases are you using?
I was with the one in the box until now and everything worked fine (ambient display, double tap to wake, one tap to show fingerprint, wake when lifting up the phone,...). I'm with the Nylon case since a few minutes and since then the ambient display won't work anymore.
Maybe there's something related?

Yes, you're totally right! I tested it! When light is shining on the display, my tap gestures will work again. I forced closed and cleared storage of ambient display but unfortunately it doesn't change my current situation, at the moment it won't work... ?
I can confirm this as well. In dark or even dim rooms, I must use the power button to turn the screen on, in well lit environments, I can use tap to wake. Hopefully this can be fixed in an upcoming update.

Hey everybody,
from my P6P I was used to being able to navigate my smartphone whilst making a call over the speakers or listening to a voice message over whatsapp.
Now, when doing this, my 7P will again and again shut off the screen because the sensor is triggered. This seens really out of proportion, since it happens far down and only on the left site (i attached an image with the blue trigger zone).
Is this sth you experience as well and can check for me?
Thanks!!
I was also experiencing this annoying issue. It was driving me crazy.
Was able to find a fix though: activate Developers Options and open it. Look for Quick Settings Developers Tiles menu and tap to it. Then tap to Sensors Off to enable it. This will add Sensors Off tile in tiles list in the scroll down top menu of your phone. If you activate (tap on it) it will disable all sensors, proximity sensor included.
The changes will apply immediately so you can do this whilst on phone/video calls and then enable it back after the call. Works like a charm.
Whilst its tempting to leave it disabled all the time, I won't recommend it as it disables all the sensors, for example, automatic screen brightness sensor or auto rotate sensor, so not very convenient.
Yeah, the cut off point is pretty early. I'd recommend using one handed mode to reach for the top of the screen or just trigger speakerphone.

Nice find and it may help some people some of the time. However, would it not be better to just turn on Screen Attention? YMMV
