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.

How do I turn off the double tap to wake that's on the AOD home button. Half the time I take my phone out of my pocket it's on as when I walk it taps and wakes it up.

If your in settings tap search and type always on then choose aod and go to content to show click "clock or information" that's how I get rid of home button so I wouldn't tap it accidentally

But remember this phone has that invisible home button as well underneath the glass...you probably knew that but I just threw it out there

But you are right. Removing the button from AOD removes the double tap function. You can still hard press home though.
Double tap still wakes the screen up... (from black and white to colour)
I dont think you can turn it off. I had this problem so i turned on "keep screen turned off" in display
you can double tap to wake the screen? mine doesnt do that, am i missing a setting? i dont use AOD

Double tap the home button near the bottom of the AOD screen. Or you can double tap a notification icon.
Hmm not working for me. Do I need AOD turned on or something?
Double tap to wake ajd notification icons
Tap2wake and custom notification icons

To turn off the hard press unlock, search navigation bar in setting and turn off unlock with home button. Hope that helps some people.

Yes you need aod turned on
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.
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.

As title, there is any way to lock the screen without pressing the power button?
I used to lock the screen with fingerprint sensor on my old Moto G5 Plus but on this Zenfone 6 i still couldn't figure out a way to lock it without pressing the on/off button. Besides not being so practical it will wear the button faster and we all know how things are made today... to not last.
You can set double tap on status bar to sleep. Works good enough.

Thanks, i had a new look and i found the setting under gestures. I was missing it because i think theres a issue with the translation to Portuguese. On the quick description it says something like "Double tap to activate LCD".

How can i set double tap on status bar to sleep? Can't seem to find this options. Thanks in advance
It's enabled by default, there is no dedicated settings. Once enabled double tap in settings, double tapping on status bar will turn off the screen.
You can double tap anywhere to lock your device, not only on status bar. The area you tap must be empty (icon free). I keep the center of the home screen empty for convenience.

Mine wasn't enabled by default so i had to go to Settings>Advanced>Gestures>Touch Gesture>Double Tap to turn off screen needs to be enabled
Is anyone else having the same issue?
Double tap only works when the ambient display is showing (the clock before the lock screen).
If you turn off ambient display all together, double tap does not work.

Double tap works for me without ambient display being on.
I'm on stock 58.0.A.28.51.
Looks like it's one of the system apps whose permission I modified.
I just did a factory reset
It seems like a common issue with this phone. My tap to wake has never worked properly and it's driving me insane. Tap tap tap TAP TAAAAP, then it works. Sometimes.
Does anyone have a solution for this before I throw it out of the second floor window?
Yeah, that's one of the very few annoying things. I wonder if it has to do with the screen protector? There have been user reports of lower touch sensitivity (mostly at the edges of the screen) due to screen protectors.
Double tap isn't working again when ambient display is set to "OFF" and I have not messed around with system app permissions.
I did verify that 2x tap is working after I debloated the phone with AD set to "OFF". Not sure what has changed since then because I have not used this phone since debloat.
More details:
-2x tap will only work when AD is showing
-for as long as AD is showing that clock, 2x tap works
Double tap and lag-free notifications should work much better when you set "Smart activation" in Ambient display settings (lokk in "When to show Ambient display" settings).
Same issues, tried many things mentioned here and more ... you'd think simple things like this would work flawlessly in a high end phone. Really tired of digging and digging in the phone and online to find solutions, so frustrating. Sony will have to make something extraordinary in the future to convince me to buy another phone from them ...
It's way too long time have passed from the last post, but I was wondering about the same issue of double tap when searching for the answer had led me to this topic. I've recently bought two same phones, not Sony but Nokia 5.4 with Android 10 and stucked in gesture unlock too. Though this topic didn't helped me, later I've found the solution by myself and eager to share the way that did worked for me with everyone.
So, if the double tap to wake up the screen suddenly stopped working, try this:
1) go to Settings-System-Gestures
2) find the "double-tap wake" option and turn it OFF
3) back to home screen and lock the phone with the power button
4) unlock the phone with any way
5) go to Settings-System-Gestures
6) find the "double-tap wake" option and turn it ON
That's all, your favorite unlocking must work again (well, both my phones were healed). Good luck! )
Inversely, you can't disable tap to wake on the AOD.
Infuriating.
In any case, 3-taps always works for me
Including this phone and Pixel 2XL.
