As the topic says, the glance view and double tap stopped working after shutting down there phone and leaving it in charge. Turned back on noticed that some features like glance view, double tap to wake up, vibrate on tap wouldn't work. Fixes vibrate on tap by turning off and on again, recalibrated phone still the glance view and double tap to wake up isn't working with screen time out being 1 minute and it dims and turns off in seconds.
Any one know this problem or a fix may be. Kindly put your effort and thoughts I to the topic thank you.

Thanks, it worked. The knock code was turned off.
I have no idea what went wrong.
I just noticed that even my time is in 24 hour format. I never set it that way. Surely something went wrong.

You are welcome
That was really helpful. But my problem is wierd. But first is there a away to turn Glance view off or on. My problem is it doesnt respond to knockOn while screen is off. But what I noticed it sometimes catches some swipes or touches to turn the screen on. No Glance view niether knockOn is working like supposed to. I already did a reset. I did removed the screen protector and case and restart still no luck. Please any idea. It used to work till a couple a weeks when I changed my UI launcher to pixle launcher. So i thought it was the problem but after reset no luck.
One more thing which is the most annoying . I used to unlock my phone using knockcode while screen was off. Now every thing went to a disaster. I also tried contacting LG they want me to send it for repair And I cant just live without a phone.
After disabiling knockon. It still wake up by touching it or swiping down. It doesnt change its behavior. But what I noticed is covering th front sensors does stop it from waking .
Update: After testing. I noticed the problem. When I double tap for knockon. It takes 2 to 5 seconds for the screen to respond and turn on. Glance view same behavior but still hard to get it right I have to touch and hold and wait then swipe down and wait. But what didnt even work knock code while sleep. Anyways the delay in respond is really bad. It never took that long.

Did you find a solution for this problem, my phone is behaving the same as yours and i even had it send to the service at lg but it came back the same, they said thet they change the motherboard in the phone.
I noticed that if i change my knock knock code to a pattern or just not useing a double tap in the code (just a single tap on every square) it enables the double tap to wake but still w/ a problem.... the glance dosen't work but if i touch the screen just once it truns on wich is very annoying because it turns the screen on in my pocket and ther it gose the battery.
I'm very sorry for my bad english.

I wish I were able, But not. I use dual boot with linageOS as daily driver I switch to the stock ROM in sec when I need to take photos. And back to LinageOS.
Thats not a solution. But no other I could do.
Last time I will use an LG product.

I have exactly what you have. To stop the phone waking itself in your pocket, I disabled KnockOn. This means we can't double tap to wake but it's better than a dead battery. Scroll up as someone has shown steps on how to enable/disable this.

I was excited about this. Keeps the screen off unless I press the button! Cool! I didn't realize you lose notification vibrations too. Not so useful for me. Anyone know how to keep the screen off unless I press the button and keep my notification alert vibrations?

Then whats the point of keepign the screen off if you are just gonna turn the screen on to check it. You're at the movies, watch the movie.
I would like this feature too. During work or driving at night, I don't necessarily want the screen coming on all the time. But if I got a vibration, I could choose to check it, but if I was in the middle of something I could do it later. The point is, I want to use the theatre mode just to stop it from turning on when I don't want it too (ie making turns while driving)
I don't have the update yet, but can't you disable the wrist gesture new and keep always on screen to off to get what you're looking for?

What I wanted was for the screen to remain off but still have notifications. The screen would only come on if I pressed then button. If you disable wrist gesture that helps but I'd still like it to not come on for any reason without pressing the button.
Still need a vibrate and no screen mode

I need this while driving or in a movie theatre. Maybe it should be a separate feature setting for notifications like "only vibrate+no screen on". The theatre mode is cool but I still need an answer to the above use case which a setting would help too.

in the meantime, uncheck the "Mute connected phone" off, that way ur phone still vibrates
Yes. The new feature tilt to wake up on android wear. Just uncheck it. The screen will not come on unless u tap the screen or hit the button. But you will still receive notifications.
Pushing the button on the watch twice will also activate the theater mode without having to go into the settings.

i just tested this. FYI you have to be pretty deliberate with your button pushes. a quick push doesn't seem to work. you have to PUSH and then PUSH again. also three pushes enables sunlight mode.
Seems like this is were Priority mode kicks in. Set it to two hours and only get the important stuff.
There are some no-brainer options that still aren't available for Android Wear. I've had Sammy watches and now my Moto 360. While I can get away with wearing the Moto at work a little more than my Sammy watch, one option I really miss is simply disabling the tilt to wake option. My Sammy watch would light up when I had a notification, and stay off any other time. No need to worry about it coming on while driving, typing, or simply moving my arm (unless I got a notification). I would get 2+ days battery life out of it, and I work Production Support at my job. Constant notifications about tickets being opened, file transfers completing, etc. Some things about this OS still baffles me.

also, go in to "block app notifications" and choose apps to block if you're getting too many notifications. if you use your phone for work and are getting constant ticket updates, etc., create a rule in outlook to move those emails to another folder and then turn notifications off in the email client on your phone. that will reduce the volume of notifications.
i only receive notifications on my primary inbox. since returning from lunch, i have 40+ emails in my other folders and only 6 came in through my primary inbox.

Yep - Outlook rules in full effect - I send priority notifications via key words in the subject, sender, etc (files failing to decrypt, not received, ticket opened, etc) as a text. The rest get filtered into each client's folder. Good advice, thankfully I'm doing that already, haha.
Thanks again for the help.

Can you please tell me if it's something device-specific or maybe Android-version-specific? I have Android 5.0.2 on the phone and Sony Smartwatch 3 (with Wear 5.1.1 on it), and the Blocked App Notifications activity in my Android Wear application is empty, i.e. it doesn't include the options on the screenshot.
Ok, found it. It's currently available when you tap the device name on Android Wear app's main activity.
I have had 5.0.1 for a week now, both versions. It runs pretty smooth overall and I get great battery life. However every day I have had it it will just stop giving notifications at some point. It shows connected, I can update watch faces etc but I get no notifications of any kind. As an experiment I removed all 3rd party apps other then Moto Connect. So far it has made no difference. I have tried restarting the Android Wear app on my phone and rebooting the phone, neither made any difference. The only fix is to restart the watch. I am using the newest version of Android Wear on my phone which is a 2014 Moto X running 4.4.4. I have fully reset the Moto 360 several times, it still does it after a number of hours running, quite possibly after receiving a few notifications in rapid succession.
So with that said I wish I could go back to 4.4 as for me 5.0.1 sucks!
I just wanted to report the exact same problem.. my notifications disappear after i receive several whatsapp messages in rapid succession!
this wasn't before the update
huh I don't seem to be having theses problems but I will try to pay more attention to it. I'am running 5.0.1 on my Nexus 5 though also not sure if it makes any difference.
When the problem occurs all notifications stop, so it should be pretty easy to detect. I have seen a few other reports of the same problem on other sites so I know it isn't just me but if it was everyone I think I'd see more posted about it.
So, I hardcore derped and realised that the watch syncs notification mode with your phone. I didn't realise this and thought I wasn't getting notifications but saw them when I swipe down on my watch. Might anyone else be having the same derp?

I don't have lollipop on my watch yet but don't beat yourself up about missing this. Google got rid of silence mode so I know for myself I use priority mode as silent. But if you do that your watch won't get notifications so then its like what is the point. I want my watch to vibrate and have my phone be silent I don't understand why they would change that.
I haven't received the update yet, when I look for it manually, it just says system is up to date... well, I'm kinda glad I didn't get it yet since you guys are having issues

I have this problem too...I have to restart the watch when they stop working. I thought it was fixed after the second update but it seems that it still does it
Notifications are the only real use for this watch. Now I have a useless piece of metal on my wrist. Luckily it looks good.

did you tried the turn on the option mute connected phone in android wear application and leave the phone notifications in "All" mode?
I'm having the same problem today for the first time. I have an HTC One M8 running kitkat so it's not an issue with Lollipop "priority mode." I am not getting any vibration on my watch when receiving notifications on my phone. I have tried both mute connected phone on and off to no avail.
Restarting the watch fixes the issue. The only guess I have is that something hangs when the watch is put in and out of theater mode, as I have been using Theater mode on my drive in to work.
i don't have this problem but for those that are having the issue, how are you "turning your watch off"? are you allowing the screen to timeout or are you pressing the button?
i've found that a single press of the button does not immediately turn the face off like it used to. this is because there are new shortcuts with the button to perform different tasks.
1 press = turn face off
2 press = enter theater mode
3 press = enter sunlight mode
theater mode will turn notifications off. so if you are expecting the watch to turn off after first press and you press it again, you're entering theater mode. you should technically see a mute icon in the center of your display and you can check the new settings menu for the option.
again this is just a thought as I don't have these issues.
I don't turn my watch off at all. It goes in the charger every night and on my wrist during the day. At some point with no warning I just won't get notifications anymore. It happened three times yesterday - often enough it can't be trusted at all.
I personally wouldn't say they have stopped working, but i have had to restart a few times a day, so yeah that's lame.

Interesting but this can't be it because theater mode changes the watch screen behavior and would be noticeable. Also a small icon appears on screen in theater mode..
I suspect that certain types of notifications may crash the notification handling service on the watch.
I am having same issues after getting the update last night. Randomly wont get any notifications and a reboot temporarily fixes it. also when i do get email notifications i cannot delete the email from watch. watch will say "Sorry, that didnt work"
Pull down twice on the watch
Hi,
I'm still waiting for my update but I did see this youtube video that covered the new features of 5.0.1 and it may have info that can help. Android Wear "Lollipop" First Look and Tour! start at around 1:05 to see the notifications features.
If you pull down a second time on the window you can set you notifications to None, Priority or All.
Cheers!
That is great info, but clearly the reviewer was running a beta build or something because I have no such option. I have only mute on/off. The only other possibility I can think of is that the additional features are only enabled when running a phone with Lollipop on it. I am stuck on 4.4.4 for a little longer.
So does anyone have those options?
nope. this isn't an option.
I just got my update.
The Notifications priority from the video is the first card of the pull down. Tap to switch between None. Priority or All.

So very strange, I only have mute on/off. It must be related to the OS on the connected phone.
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've had this happen for a while now, I've had the phone pretty much a year, and I've noticed some issues that I've found on other LG phones dating back to the EnV Touch.
First problem, more frequent, and more annoying:
Pretty much every other time I push the back button to shut the screen off, it plays the little tone, and the screen fades, and then pops back awake. Sometimes, I need to push the button 2-3 times for the screen to turn off and stay off. I also have knock-on disabled (Activity Launcher app allowed me to find that menu in settings, which for some reason Verizon decided to hide from the main settings menu). The reason I did this was to, in theory, save battery from not having the digitizer always on and actively scanning for taps.
Second problem, more rare, but has happened from the start:
Sometimes when waking the screen up, the screen will show up as if it was melted, just a bunch of various colored vertical lines. Swiping does nothing, so it's not like I can unlock the phone blindly. I have to push the sleep button to turn the screen off, and push it again to wake up and get my normal lock screen. I've had this happen even on the last LG phone I owned before this one: the EnV Touch. See pic for reference, ironically I had to use an iphone to take a picture of the melted screen on this phone, so pardon the crappy quality image.

If the pic doesn't show (not showing currently in preview, I have it on my google drive, since IDK how to manually upload a pic to post it), let me know and I can try to put it somewhere else on the net to host it. Since my account is new, I cannot post the direct URL to the pic on google drive, but if anyone PM's me I can send it.
I'm hoping either of these are known issues, at least if it's not happening to just me, then maybe it'll get fixed in an update, although I have my doubts.
In case anyone asks, this is running STOCK VS98625A firmware, never rooted.
Thanks in advance, I think my 1 year warranty expires in 5 days, I'm curious if I should just bring this up to VZ.
Ive had that first problem (hardware lock button putting the phone into sleep & back on in an instant) ever since I can remember - I have knockon enabled because i find it worth the bit of drain.
I use this great app Screen Off & Lock to have a soft key in a convenient place on the home screen and helps me lock the phone without having the rely on the weird button behaviour. Device is VS986 & this has been the issue on 13A, 24C as well as 25A. Living with it!
Thanks, I'll look into that as an option, I just really wish LG would get their things in order. They've never seem to have a stable rom, even on old flip phones.
Another issue I'm noticing is that when I lock my screen, and it wakes itself up and stays lit up for ~30 seconds, the lighting will flicker dimly every 10 seconds or so, like it's trying to put itself to sleep and failing. I should just make a video of all these issues, lol.
I have the 2nd problem mentioned. I get vertical colored lines sometimes. For me it only happens when I plug or unplug the charger when the screen is off. The plugging/unplugging wakes the screen in this funky mode. I turn it off, turn it on, then all is fine. Happens maybe once per 20 times.
Wow, I have the same issue! The only thing is, it only happens when I unplug it. I wish I knew how to fix it though, because sometimes it can be annoying
Hi every one.
i have one question which is very serious to me.
i want to use screen off app while screen off.
However, when i use screen off app and unlock screen with fingerprint, my device require to type PIN number.
I just want to unlock without type PIN number. I want to unlock with just fingerprint.
If anybody know this issue, please inform to me how to do.

It shouldn't need a pin unless you just rebooted the phone. In fingerprint scanner settings, do you have the box checkmarked to "Wake up screen"?
If you do then you might have to just reset the security settings and it should fix it. Just turn off all screen security and set it to swipe unlock. Then redo your fingerprints and it will ask if you want to use a pin when restarting (I usually select no). Setting it up like that should do what you want. I just did this 10 min ago after fresh rom flash
Mine got this saying I have 2 have something of I do use fingerprint

You can choose any of the option. It just as a backup soultion, when your fingerprints aren't working perfectly while unlocking.

also on a reboot it would always first ask you to unlock using pattern/pin after the first time then you can use fingerprint to unlock...
also yes some screenoff would prompt you back to use pattern instead of fingerprint if you are inclined towards towards custom kernels then try out elementalx along with his button mapper which you could use multiple gestures to put your screen off and unlock without pattern....(after every reboot pattern/pin is a mandate as of now)
In Marshmallow, when apps shut off the screen, a pattern will be required to unlock afterwards. This is supposedly a security measure. There are two workarounds that I know of:
1.) Some apps "shut off and lock" the screen by basically turning off the screen and shortening the time-out to the shortest time possible, typically 30 seconds. This way, you won't have to enter a pin or password since the app didn't technically turn off the screen, it just made you wait till it timed out. The problem with this is that means for those seconds while it's counting down, you can't use your phone. Very annoying.
2.) If you have root, apps can turn off and lock the screen by simulating a press of the power button. For example, Nova launcher uses this method. If you have root, you can set a gesture (like double tap on homescreen) to turn off and lock, which will then simulate a power button click and therefore not require pin or password when you turn on your screen again. This is what I use. If you don't have root, Nova still has this option, but it will use administrative rights instead of root, and thus still require pin or password the next time you turn on your screen.

we have double tap on fp which is used by custom kernels and you can unlock back by using your fp again no pattern required...
