Upgrading from a Pixel 3a that was running Android 10, I have found that the Double-Tap to wake feature is now just tap to wake. I am constantly waking my phone when removing it from my pocket or even just handling it. Is there any method (including root/xposed) to bring back double-tap to wake?

I'm missing the hard home button I had on my S3 when driving as it was easier to press the home button to wake the phone. Is there a way to wake the phone by voice or with a wave of the hand without killing the battery? I would assume the mic probably takes less battery than the camera constantly running to detect the wave of the hand.
--edit--
wave control pro
Anything that does either of those would just kill the battery.
The best and most battery friendly way, is the power button. Some roms you can set it up to use the volume buttons too.
There is double tap screen to wake option too, with certain kernels, but again, battery eater. It can be set to timeout, so it doesn't use as much battery, but then you're hitting the power button again.
I've got tasker setup to kill the app when I'm not in the car so battery hit won't be that bad.
Could look at double tap to wake / slide to wake kernels?

Is there kernel on N5 that supports double tap to wake, but automatically disables that feature when proximity sensor is active, so it does not turn on in my pocket?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I don't think so but you can set a timeout or disable this feature if the screen is locked after pressing the power button. It should be enough IMO
Device does not wake up on double tap or pressing start button at times. wonder what is the problem . its a new device i just used it for 10 days now
Did you flash any ROMs? Is "prevent accedential wakeup" enabled?
Its possible add Double tap to wake to this device with any rom / kernel ?
i think its abut hardware not a software issue
Is it possible to lock the S7 just by tapping the fingerprint sensor (without pressing the button)?
Then is it possible to sleep by tapping the fingerprint sensor?
No roms and no root.
Only ways to wake up the phone:
- Power button then put finger on fingerprint scanner.
or
- Press the Home button and keep pressed so that it reads the fingerprint at the same time.
Only ways to put the phone to sleep:
- Press the power button
or
- Install a custom launcher like Apex Launcher which has an option to double-tap the wallpaper to turn the screen off.
That's all I can do for you, sorry. Probably other people have better solutions with root and customs ROMs, but with stock, I think that are the only ways known ; )
Superman rom has an option to turn the phone on without pressing the home button just putting your finger on it like newer fingerprint readers. It doesn't always work but most of the time it's pretty fast.
Try Batman or Superman Roms
