Did you disabled volume function keys in settings to check this? Never had screen wake in my pocket.

For marshmallow
It was not difficult to find.
Type in call dialer
*#546368#*855#
if you have diffrent model than D855 type yours instead 855
Go to TOUCH then go to KNOCK ON/OFF option and choose what you want

Thank you ! I thought it was still 3845#*855# for Marshmallow, I typed several times this code but it did not work. thanks again
It was changed with MM. No problem, it was quick and easy.
This did not work for me. I cannot get double tap to work. I just bought (yesterday) this phone because I liked it on my G2. Today it updated to Android 6.0 and double tap is gone.
I can not understand how the LG can make such a bull**** of not putting an option in the menu. My device turns on the screen and activates the camera in my pocket when I wear wide shorts. It's really annoying. LG G3 D855p - 30a.
Secret Settings?

So, for a Verizon VS985, would I enter, in the dialer, *#546368#*985# ? I did that, but then what? If I hit the dial button, the phone actually tries to dial.

I am having the same issue - since the upgrade, I haven't been able to use the double tap to wake up my phone. I've also tried the dialing codes mentioned previously, and I get an automated message saying the number I called is no longer valid. I would really like to get my double tap to wake function restored!
Thanks.

I have found the solution! Anyone else having this problem, go to the Play Store, and get the free app called "Activity Launcher".
After you open it, select All Activities.
Scroll down to Settings, then KnockON.
There will be two. Open the first one.
This is your KnockOn setting. If the box is checked, it will work. If it is unchecked (as mine was), it will not!
A quick and easy fix. I am so happy to have my double tap function back!!!

sadly it doesn't work on my phone...
until you change one more setting
In the app suggested in the video, you also go into "Roaming clock settings" and disable "Use roaming dual clock"

Hi guys, does anyone know how to turn off knock on on the G3? Tried looking for it in gestures settings like in the G2 but can't seem to find it. The g3 keeps waking while in my pocket making it feels constantly warm. Anyone else experiencing this? I don't mind just using the button at the back to wake it. The placement for the button is quite comfortable actually.
I'm sorry to hear this is a problem on the g3, I have this problem on the double tap to wake code on my Nexus 5 and so I just turned it off. I know for the galaxy 2, sorry g2, voice dictation, they released firmware fix for this I think

Can you tell me how you did the wake code on the nexus 5?
And to the op, isn't there a setting in the screen gestures section of the phone to turn it off?
You can turn it off in the hidden system settings menu
Dial 3845#*855# to access it.

It is the very last setting in the list, just scroll all the way down to the bottom.
If you have the Korean model replace the 855 with 400
I turned this feature off as it will save battery life too as it needs to keep the screen driver awake happy using the back button.

855 opens my hidden menu. But I still can figure out which option to choose after scrolling down to the bottom. The screen shot shows my menu. Could u let me know which option should I be disabling?

we don't have that functionality by default, it's patched into custom kernels and eats 2-3% battery per hour (another reason I turn it off)
Just so you know, I had issues with Knock On unlocking my phone in my pocket so I turned it upside down and the issue is 100% gone !
I think it's due to the light sensor not being 100% in the dark then the taps on the lap unlocked the phone. When it's upside down the light sensor is kept in the dark
I just can't find that setting... Ive looked everywhere. My phone is rooted with towelroot. Is that the problem?

Is it really the light sensor? I think the proximity sensor would make more sense in this case! Otherwise you wouldn't be able to use the knock on feature in the darkness...
Screen wakes in my pocket whichever way up I put it in and I don't want to have the screen face outwards. This is very annoying and didn't happen on my G2 - The screen is clearly very sensitive. I don't want to turn off knock on and I don't really like knock code.

Same here. Upside up or Upside down makes no difference for me. Display from body away seems to be the only real solution...
Looks like a few of u are experiencing the same problem. I have been facing the screen away from me as a solution but it feels so awkward when I m so used to have the screen face in. And I can't find the hidden settings to turn knock on off. They really hid very well I guess.
Hi,
I've bought an used LG Pad 8.3 which was resetted to default configuration.
For me it's behaviour is very strange. One has to tap long on a widget or button to select and to tap twice to choose it. And a voice tells me all the time what I'm doing...
Because of this behaviour I can't scroll through lists so I am not able to reach any option below "Security" in the settings. I even cannot see the firmware version which is installed.
What do I have to do to get the standard behaviour?
Thx a lot
Asellus
Solved: TalkBack
I have found a way to scroll down and found TalkBack. After switching it off the pad works as expected.
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
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.
