In the Motion Gestures, it says that this phone can double tap to wake and to sleep. Double tap to wake is working great, but it doesn't double tap to sleep. Has anyone else noticed if double tap to sleep works?

It works, but only in the lockscreen.
Sometimes double tap doesn't work for no reason, do you have any idea what's going on?
You can also go to Dev settings and tick the double tap status bar to sleep. Much handier than the lock screen bc you have to turn the phone OFF to get to lock screen and defeats the whole purpose of double tap to sleep...

I know about that part, but even when I hold it correctly it doesn't work, it only works again after I reboot the phone

If you just got your phone, it may have been sitting in the box awhile and may need to be updated. Go to the Play Store and search for HTC Motion Launch to see if an update is available. Also, check on your phone and/or with your carrier to find out if a software update is available for your phone.

Just like the thread title stated... Is there any way to turn off wrist rotation that causes the device to wake? I have found this is why the device, or so I thought would randomly wake. I have everything off: wrist gestures, always-on screen, touch to wake, and wifi all set to OFF. Thanks in advance.

Try this - it seemed to work for me. Start Android wear on your phone. Go to settings->Huawei Watch>Tilt to Wake screen and turn it off

Ha I didnt realize I could click on the Huawei part of the app.. Thought it was a option to select another device... Thanks man
Is there anyway to stop the watch from displaying a full on detailed notification? Dont get me wrong I would like to know I have received something but if I get a text or email to just say hey u got a email and 3 texts... Not from Joe schmo and susie and a email from a banker about a million dollars. Something generic would be great.

Install Huawei Health app, and you can perform the setting from there.
OK, what am I doing wrong? I had this feature on the g4. I updated to 7.1.1 and the settings are on in moves. I have a notification but double tapping the screen when it is off doesn't do anything.

Do you have lockscreen activated?
Lol crap. Set at a half hour before it locks. I guess double tap only works if the screen is locked. On the lg g4 you could use it any time to turn on the phone
Double tap to wake on my phone doesn't work well. I have to double tap several times so might as well just use the wake hardware button.
Is everyone's P2 the same?

I've tested it on my phone. It actually works nearly flawless. 19 out of 20 attempts are spot on. Maybe it's because of some setting?

No, it's quite unresponsive, at least compared to my old phone LG G2 from year 2013. I have to tap right above the hardware button. I can also tap in the center of the screen but then I'd have to do it with a specific technique, two gentle taps with a certain period of time in between.
It's not as reliable as on LG phones. So I don't use it on the P2. Out in the wild you don't have time to "do it right". It should just work like every single time like on my V10.
So it's not just me. Double tap on the P2 does seem to be pretty bad.
Good phone though ?
It's due to aggressive Android Doze feature...
The DTTW is not going to work AFTER 15 minutes in sleep/lock state (applicable to stock LeMoto Android Mellow or Nougat firmware...)
Just disable the Android Doze permanently with negative impact to standby/idle energy consumption rate...

An alternative might be to use ForceDoze and choose not to disable sensors. I haven't tried it myself.
Edit: Seems to be working pretty good.
Maybe can try going to Settings>Power Manager>Battery Optimization... Under the drop down menu on the top, select "All Apps"... Then scroll down to "Light Up The Screen"... And select "don't optimize"...
That seems to work. Thank you

solazz is a star! Double tap now working perfectly for me.
I tried to optimize "light up the screen", but the screen is easily turned on if I keep the phone in my pocket while moving. I ended up using only the power button.
Edit: Meant deoptimize of course.
DTW is only usefull iff you dont use fingerprint wake i think.
I was searching for a way to make Tasker wake phone when I pick it up, so I just have to at it to unlock it. In looking into this, I discovered Gravity Screen, which amongst other things, can wake your phone when you pick it up, straight to Face Unlock. It seems to work well but I'm not sure of the impact on battery. I'm not using it to lock the screen... Really only using it for the one thing.

I've been using this app on my last two phones in order to be able to double tap the home screen on my launcher (Action Launcher) to turn off the screen, WITHOUT locking the phone. For some reason though, this no longer works on the OP5T, double tapping just simply won't trigger the screen off shortcut. Really disappointed in this, are you able to get this to work on yours?
I do also use its proximity sensor feature so that it automatically turns the screen on upon removal from my pocket, and it turns the screen back off once I put the phone back into my pocket, which triggers the angle needed to turn the screen off. That feature still works as intended, and better yet, preps the screen for the face unlock. And as far as I can tell, hardly uses any extra battery.

Hmmm... I use Nova Launcher and I use the double tap to lock the phone. I've never wanted it to not lock. I wasn't aware that there is a double tap action in Gravity Screen? I'll have a look.

It's not really within Gravity Screen itself, you'd have to use the launcher to set up the double tap on home screen to a shortcut. From there, you can pick one of Gravity Screen's shortcuts that allow you to either just turn off the screen, or do a persistent off screen, where you have to use the power button to bring it back on. I believe the problem I had with using the double tap to lock screen feature built into the launchers is that it forces you to have to enter in a password afterwards...face unlock or fingerprint do not work.

Hmmm. Not true with Nova. I double tap to lock and I can use fingerprint to unlock. However, I believe that I requires root for this lock method. Do you have root?

Nope, I don't have root. I did try the same shortcuts with Nova, and it didn't work there either.
have used the app on my old OPO.. now on 5T it's just perfect.. just pick up the phone.. and prepare for landing on homescreen without any tap or button press
does not consume a lot of battery
I've used this in the past as a way to turn on the screen when it comes out of my pocket
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tf.wakeongesture
This application wakes up your phone, and it works well on my OP5T, it's called "Always on AMOLED"you can download it from F-Droid open source apps, Yalp Store and Google Play. I like that it is low on resources, double tap wake up screen option, lock screen clock, date, battery, custom message and notifications.
I got the phone today, any information why double tap to wake is not possible. or activated ?
I have no idea, but I would also very much like to know. I miss my double tap...!
Same here, just received the phone: Quality seems quite good but I'm surprised this basic functionality (double tap to wake) is not available.
From what I read, if it's not implemented at kernel level then no apps can bring it to the phone ...
If anyone has more info, that would be great!
As an alternative this app can be tried. It wakes the device up by wave gesture.
It must be checked if Mi A2 Lite still goes to deep sleep mode and doesnt stay awake when app is active (hint by dev that some devices have problems)
Also it must be checked if Fingerprint is working without any issues like re-enter PIN after fingerprint unlock
Same problem, got the phone last saturday... it seems that the oreo version has it but our phone's didn't...
This ROM is extremely light so they removed most of the common features.
Let's just wait for a semi-official Lineage release for A2L.
Or you can wait until someone builds a kernel for this device. Many Kernels enable tap to wake functionally.

I thought the finger print sensor would make tap to wake useless lol.
I got the phone 3 days ago. Double-tap to wake works from day one.
I really wish I could turn it OFF.
Ambient Light is Off, TalkBalk is Off but phone still wakes up in my pocket all the time.
Anyone know how to turn this feature Off please?

As it turns out, this phone comes with two types of display CSOT & EBBG.On csot, the double tap works, but it can not be turned off, and on ebbg it does not work.

Strangely, on my A2 Lite, double tap only wakes up the screen. Double tapping when screen is awake does nothing at all.
I emailed Xiaomi Support about this, asking how I could disable the waking up. The reply came from Xiaomi Support Malaysia:
Go to the Settings - Select Accessibility - Select advanced settings - Turn on the pocket mode option​
I replied, "There is no Advanced Settings under Accessibility. There is also no setting available when I search for pocket or double or tap twice."
Their advice was to backup and perform a Factory Reset, which I think is nonsense.
