Hi,
I've been a galaxy s3 user for long,and recently swapped for a hox. (always a HTC fanboy). Anyway, does anyone know if there's a kernel with touch2wake feature after screen is off? I generally read a lot and is quite useful mod. I don't mean slide to wake (=to lockscreen) but while you're reading something and screen sleep timer reaches its value , a single tap at screen lights it up again. Thanks in advance for your answers.
I'm not sure about single tap, you mean screen off? Depending on your Rom there are different kernels with double tap to wake and sweep to wake. If you mean you want the screen to light up when it starts dimming, a single tap should reactivate the screen on any Rom I can think of. You can set your lockscreen time if it's too fast for you.

AlexV kernel has a Double Tap to Wake functionality. It wakes up the phone from sleep state, but causes some problems with proximity sensor during the phone call. Take a look at it's thread.

thanks for your response, I'm using AlexV + ARHD sense 5. Yes there is an option for double tap, that's what i need, but also to bypass the locksreen.. Ill ask at alexV's thread..

On my old iphone, when the screen went dim, if you were to tap the screen, regardless of where you tapped it would wake, but on the Evo when the screen dims if you tap it will not only wake the screen but click on whatever you tapped on as well. Pretty annoying when you're in a web browser and try to wake the screen but it clicks on a link.
Anyone know if there's a setting or fix for this?

I tend to just tap the notification bar when I want to bring the backlight back up. Requires a bit more aim but it doesn't click anything.
I tap and drag... doesn't click but wakes LCD
Why does doubletap2wake randomly stop working? It has nothing to do with phone being idle, still doesn't work after movement, have to unlock to get it back to work again.
Is this because of deep sleep or power saving mode enabled in sense?
Is my M8 defective - is this a hardware issue?
Running ARHD and ElementalX 0.18. Had the same issue on stock kernel - can't remember if I had it on stock ROM but someone else told me he had the issue too on all ROMs.
This is a stupid question, but I have to ask: Are you sure that you are holding the phone vertically so that it is in portrait mode?

sometimes i notice that the double tap to wake won't work because i have some stuff on my screen or something that registers as a screen press. i'll have to wipe my screen down.
It's all in the finger action. One to wake the sensor at any corner of the phone, then 2 deliberate taps, not 2 quick taps, on the bottom half of the screen.

I have this exact problem. At least 1-2 times a day, motion gestures will stop working and I have to use the power button to turn the screen on. I have tried everything when this happens (making certain phone is in portrait mode and held straight up, shaking the phone, tapping the corner of the phone before doing the gesture, etc.). I am well aware that the phone has to be moved before doing the gestures. This is my second HTC One M8 from T-Mobile. The first had scratches all over the back out of the box so I exchanged it. I don't recall this ever happening with the first phone. Maybe some app is messing things up? Could this be a hardware issue? I'm hoping it's a software issue.

Make sure you don't accidentally swipe up while the screen is off as this seems to lock the gestures out.

Really? I haven't heard that being mentioned before. It's possible I accidentally swipe up just a bit when I'm trying to DT2W. Has anyone else mentioned about accidentally swiping up while the screen is off and it locking the gestures out here on XDA?

I've noticed this as well, but only with the double tap(swipe up or to the side always works). I would say mine only does it about 2% of the time though so I haven't been too concerned about it.
Hi guys. I just wanted to report that I updated to the latest stock 4.4.4 OTA 4 days ago. I no longer have any problems with the gestures randomly not working (including DT2W of course). I'm a happy camper =D

Also make sure when you pick it up the meat of your thumb or other part of your hand is not touching the screen. I've caught myself doing that a few times.
Your title pretty much sounds like it is referring to my brother.
I am having this problem too with or without the dot view cover
Sometimes it does't wake up... it's like its in deep sleep like the OP is saying
Any help
two large speakers and some gabba techno should do it
Lol think the phone needs to be at a slight angle when using double tap. i have noticed before when my phone is flat on my desk at work and the screen has been off for a while, its seems to be in deep sleep mode, however when i pick it up, double tap works
It happens to me maybe a couple times a week. I reboot, fixed.
Poop happens is my explanation.
I wouldn't be very concerned. Things get screwy in the system every now and then, that's all.
Whenever it does that, I just rub my finger across the proximity sensor back and forth a few times and then try the double tap again and that always works.
I realized today my phone was facing inwards towards my leg and that it may be double tapping and turning on in my pants. Any way of stopping this, but also monitoring? I am just curious as I faced my phone outward it kept my battery lasting much longer today.

I had the same issue, but for me it turned out to be neither the back button nor double tap to wake. For me it was greenify, which does evil things when it doesn't have root: it turns on the screen, goes to the app info of an app it wants to hibernate, and "clicks" the "force stop" button, before going back and just leaving the screen on.
Of course this may not be the cause of your problem. You may not even have greenify installed. Have a useful way to debug the issue: install tasker (or something similar, maybe condi can do it too), and make a profile that makes your phone vibrate when the screen turns on. Make sure the vibration duration is distinguishable from notifications, 200 ms worked for me.
This way, you will know exactly when your phone turns on in your pocket. You will be able to reason about whether the back button was accidentally pressed or whether it's double tap to wake, or something else altogether, like greenify in my case.
Just a side note: it's unlikely to be double tap to wake, because double tap to wake will not turn your screen on when the proximity sensor detects that something is close. You can try that by holding your finger over the proximity sensor while trying to turn it on. Double tap to wake won't turn the screen on in the first place, and the screen will turn on and immediately off when using the power button.
So yeah, try the tasker/condi profile and see what your phone does right after it wakes. I saw mine force closing Facebook messenger like 7 times in less than an hour, and it stopped after I uninstalled greenify.

Ive noticed the screen on out of pocket but rarely. One new feature is the "slide down" quick peek while the display is off. This new feature may have new side effects.

That too doesn't work when the proximity sensor senses something is close. Try it by holding a finger over it while trying to pull down the thing with another finger.

Dear,
I am here to clarify a thing.
I am using moto g 1st gen.
On/off switch on pcb got separated.
Can the switch can be re-soldered in the board again ?

yes you can replace it. but go to local professional mobile hospital
I did it man.
Cost 150Rs.
Same happened to me!
What a pain in the arse. I am using Slim-Rom and a couple of options are available that have helped me overcome this inconvenience and may be available on others.
My path: Settings > Display there I find settings for Sleep , Volume Rocker Wake, Wake Upon Charge.
Since there is no way to turn the screen off, I set the device to sleep after 15 seconds of inactivity.
To turn it on, I allow the volume rocker to wake the device and if available, wake upon charge. This turns the device screen on when the charging cable is plugged in.
I know there is nothing better than the On/Off switch but I hope these little workarounds help you out.
knock knock in any kernel or cm ambient display and knock knock on statusbar on lock.
Ambient display and knock knock on statusbar on lock is in cm13 settings that i am using now, on gestures . knock knock is the best choice for you and can you find in some kernels. Knock knock on homescreen can be found in launcher settings on some launchers.

I guess Slim ROM has double tap to turn off the screen functionality. Or use gravity screen app and turn the display on and off automagically. It uses proximity and/or accelerometer.
Lift to wake is not very responsive, sometimes it works, a lot it doesn't.. any ideas if anything can be done

It has to be a really deliberate gesture, and you have to lift it to 90 degrees i've found.
I turn it off and use double tap to wake, the most under-rated feature ever.

Thanks, yes i use double tap to view the lockscreen aswell.. it's just quicker for the fingerprint scanner if the screens on when i pick it up.. I'll try be more pronounced. Cheers
Mines is very responsive
Same, I turned it off
I had to switch it off, as I do not always want the phone to wake up every time I pick it! I use double tap to wake, really useful, specially if combined with double tap to lock with Nova launcher
