Hello,
I just bought LG G4 for a week . It perfect in every way, I love camera so much.
But I have one problem ,sometimes double tap to wake is not work properly no matter I try to knock ( knock slow or fast)
Until I need to press the button at the back, and then screen is turn on and I can use knock on again.
Is my G4 is normal ?
Thank you for your answer
Jo
It happens. For many it's rare and others it's more common. Mainly it's because of the touchscreen issues the g4 has.
Happens occasionally for me. Just tap a little harder.

If you have a knock code set up, try tapping the knock code instead of double tap. Occasionally, even when the phone should be unlocked, it'll wake up from the knock code but not the double tap. I discovered this when I got frustrated and double tapped repeatedly, then the screen came on and said if I entered the knock code incorrectly one more time I would be locked out.

Same problem here, my phone looks like is deeply sleeping
i have to try tapping at least 3-4 times in order to wake it up,
it begins to be frustrating! If it helps i have a 10B fw
Mine can work even with a very light touch, almost like a normal finger press to select an icon when the phone is on. Usually I would tap somewhat harder, but out of curiosity I tried a very light touch and it still worked to wake the phone.
Try tapping on the upper half of the screen. Sometimes the Smart lock is activated after 4 hours of un use.

it doesn't matter if you tap lightly or harder
this is not a resistive type of screen (like in the old days where you have to tap harder for the screen to register touches), but capactive
capactive screens don't differentiate between taps - every tap is the same
the issue is with LG - this is a known bug where some taps do not register and thats why double tap to wake doesn't work properly
this has been a number 1 problem for me with this phone
I have to tap like a maniac most of the time, before phone will wake up..
For awhile the G2 had a similar issue. One trick that helped me: on your last tap, hold it for a bit longer. So if you you have it set to unlock when you double tap, instead of a quick tap, tap you would go tap, taaap. I know that sounds weird, but by holding the last tap it seemed to register the code better, for whatever reason.
Good luck! As always, YMMV.
Mine does this, especially when charging. Tapping on the top left works almost always.

I have found that if you have any type of security lock on the phone it doesn't work when tapping in the area of the lock (knock code area or pin). Even when smart lock is enabled I have noticed only tapping in the upper third of the screen will the phone wake up.
I have more success with knock code when screen is off than double tap, but I don't like having the code so I deal with the missed taps. Can anybody with the latest firmwares chime in here? I haven't updated ls991 to zv5 yet cause I don't want to deal with the "1" bootloader thing
Guys its not a bug dont double tap the corners of your phone it will not work just tap middle of the screen. Always work for me

Glad this helped!
I've discovered that Smart Lock doesn't always unlock the phone when connected to a trusted bluetooth device (especially if the device isn't in use but just connected), or when using a trusted place but not enabling High Accuracy for location. In these cases, the knock screen is waiting on the blank screen and it won't take double tap to unlock.
I turned on High Accuracy locations and double tap almost always works at home. If the bluetooth device is in use (streaming media, etc.) double tap also almost always works too.
Hi all, i also have a tap issue on my lg g4, the lg service repairman said they would replace my front cover, is this the proper way to solve the tap/touchscreen issue? Please help me as i am really frustrated with my g4. Thanks and God Bless! John Aleta

FWIW, If you are on Verizon, a new update has been released which is supposed to help with the touch issues.
Is this covered by the new LG warranty announcement?

My wake up double tap became intermittent a couple of weeks ago after flawlessly working for months.
Thanks for the tip :good:
Mine's worked great for 2 years. Just started being tempermental with no clear pattern of usage differences between when it does work and when it does not work. argggggggggggg

Hello, I have 2 Nokia 6.1 in my family, one has the double tap to wake and it works perfectly, but the other one dosen't work... even if I unchek and check again the setting in display settings, when I try it it never works. But it's working if I tap like 3 or 4 times without stop it will wake up. but 2 tap never work. ( i DON'T have a screen protector or case, nothing (on both))
Do you know why? Do you have this problem? My Nokia 6.1 doesn't have a double-tap but a triple-tap (or more) to wake lol... :crying:
the real question is, is it a hardware issue?
Thanks guys!
I have experienced it too, when the phone is inactive for longer times it's harder to wake it up that way, but when notification comes it wakes up instantly with 2 taps.
It's very weird, I hope it's not a hardware tuchscreen issue!
I just tested tap to wake on my previous phone (Xperia Z3) and the 2 tap to wake world perfectly anytime, but with my 6.1 it's like there is an issue...
Yes, something is definitely wrong, but maybe it has to be that way so battery lasts longer or something, because it works fine when you tap it right after using it,
but when it's not being used for a while then it starts to disobey.
Maybe its related to the fingerprint sensor or unlock patern
the phone seems to go into a deep sleep if it's been locked for a while, I guess this is why the battery life is good - I found when this happens double tap doesn't work and certain apps effectively close themselves if they're not actively doing anything.
Guys, I don't speak with just my Nokia 6.1, I have 2 Nokia 6.1 in front of me.
Both have fingerprint for unlock, both 100%, both are the same, both with tap to wake enabled...
When I double tap together there is one who NEVER wake up... except when I X tap like a dumb, like "taptaptaptaptap..." and then it understand that someone double tap after 5-10 times lol... but the other one works everytime (EVERY) prefect...
I will maybe make a video

Same problem here. If the phone is sleeping for like 10+ mibutes, the first double tap does absolutely nothing, I have to redo it a 2nd time. If it sleeps a minute or two it is working first try.
hi friends
double tap to wake does not work properly on my device.
sometimes it works good
sometimes i must tap 3_5 times on screen to wake it
anybody has similar problem or a solution?
tried both 10.2.1.0 china and global
both have same problem.
I've fot the same.
I think Its Android os bug connected with doze services.
Same on oneplus3t.
Hello..there is a bug between fingerprint sensor and always on screen....i set my always on screen setting to tap to show...when i tap the the screen for first time, the fingerprint is come on bottom of screen and there is no problem...
if i dont use fingerprint and let the screen goes off, then after a while, for second time , when i tap the screen there is no fingerprint icon on screen and i cant use fingerprint....even if i dont tap the screen for second time, i cant use fingerprint after first time and i must double tap to make the screen on and use fingerprint...
the fingerprint set to always on
thanks
It's an old bug, reported a long ago.. i assume you are still in one ui 5.0? because it is solved in 5.1 update.
If you are yet to receive one ui 5.1, there is a workaround. Set your fingerprint icon to display "never" on AOD. It will bypass the bug and will not be an issue further.
