I just got my brand new HTC 10 today. Double Tap to Wake works fine, but why does DT to Sleep ONLY work on the lockscreen and not from the Home screen?
Can someone help? I already did a Gravity Test/Calibration Check btw.
Thanks!
It would not work because probably the first tap would open the app from the shortcut on your home screen if you would have any. This is why this is not working on home screen or any other screen. Just in lock screen mode.

Kruk,
Ok. Is there ANY way around this though? My Sony Xperia phone has the same feature but NO issue with double-tap to sleep despite also having a lock screen.

On the stock ROM, no. Some custom ROM's have a feature that allows you to double-tap the status bar to turn the screen off, though.

Do I have to unlock the bootloader and/or root my HTC 10 in order to get those ROMs? Please say no. lol I'd be fine with double-tapping the status bar. lol

yes, you would need to.
Nova Launcher has even a feature to double tap anywhereto turn the screen off....BUT it needs root to for that.

I'm pretty sure Nova launcher doesn't need root for double tap to lock. It works on my unrooted HTC 10. I'm not sure if it requires Pro though

I have Pro Nova, but still couldn't get it to work. Well, I mean I did, but the problem is, while it's "working", all the security stuff on my phone gets disabled as a result. I DO NOT have this issue with LG, Samsung, and Sony phones, only HTC. This is unacceptable. HTC should know better.
Nova Launcher does it fine, however, when unlocking, if you use fingerprint security, it forces you to use the password. This is probably an Android security issue, and not an HTC issue, since it behaves this way on all devices. I'll let someone with more knowledge on the subject explain why it is so.

Yeah but on LG, Sony, and Samsung phones, their systems DO NOT force you to put the password/PIN in again. That's why I wish HTC would take note of what those 3 are doing and implement those processes on their own phones.
I use this app for double tap to sleep. Works great.

Hi jimm2,
I'm actually VERY familiar with that app and had been using it for years until recently. I also have family that still use it.
I DID actually try that one out too, and it DID work...........however, the sacrifice I have to make in order for it to work is that I can no longer have the security settings of my phone enabled.......it completely bypasses them. And I am not willing to give that up, so unfortunately I can't use it.
Thank you though anyway!
I have fingerprint security to unlock the HTC 10.
Now I cannot wake the phone with double tap to wake. Is this a bug or a security issue which is normal?
thank you

Double-tap to wake works fine for me with fingerprint unlock enabled. Are you on a stock ROM, or custom?

Hi,
I'm using the stock ROM. I'm guessing it may have to do with HTC Lockscreen. Is there a way to reset it? Or possibly there is another strange reason for the problem
Thanks

Are you able to power off your phone from the lockscreen? On my nexus it seems that all the buttons have been disabled.
I am on stock 4.0.1 ICS btw and I have noticed the same thing with my galaxy tab 10.1.
Not me. The option comes up, but wont accept a touch.
Is WidgetLocker updated to android 4.0 yet? I'd definitely would be using it...hmmm

ICS source code became available, when? Nov 14? Last WidgetLocker update was only Nov 18 and description makes no reference to ICS. I'd say no, it is not fully updated for compatibility with ICS yet.
I have the same results as described above by OP. That's really the only problem I have though. Otherwise it is working fine on ICS.
Widgetlocker works just fine for me, and I am in fact able to make use of the buttons from the power menu.

Yeah I can't click the pop up buttons either, can't remember ever needing to though so it doesn't bother me.

Yea it doesnt bother me much either, it was just a little inconvenience i noticed while using it. Its only an extra second to unlock the phone and then press the power button.
Just wanted to know if I was the only one.
sometimes i can, sometimes i can't, it's not consistent
(stock rom, unrooted)
Sorry to get OT, but I CANNOT get handcent to pop up messages over Widgetlocker now. It worked on Gingerbread. Any suggestions would be awesome as the dev of Widgetlocker just ignored my email.
If I could set a custom lock screen wall paper and add widgets to the stock unlock screen I would have no use for widgetlocker, but as for now...I love it. Just this one issue.
In an attempt to contribute, No, I cannot. I push "Power off" but it will not work unless I unlock and then do it. I am on stock 4.0.2.
the only thing bothering me from the current version of widgetlocker is the lock screen comes up when I am on a phone call...
i have to unlock the screen in order to end a call

Yes, and it will pop up if the phone is on and at the home screen or in an app, but it will not "Wake" widget locked or show the message over the top of it when I go to unlock it. :/

I just saw this yesterday on xda news. Requires kitkat tho.

It might be what you're looking for. However, I have never tried it and I don't know if it will work for huawei p6. I'm not sure if it works with double tapping screen... but I assume that it should since it is imitating the moto x lockscreen.
EDIT: On google play now. No need for root I think.

The Active notification feature requires AMOLED screen for best performance, while Huawei devices don't use AMOLED screen. And its not the same as LG's tap to wake feature, which is compatible with our device.

I had this feature, it's really handy, but yes it's completely not related with the DT2W
Okay, call me crazy, but I am positive that that shortcut was not present before. I have the latest security patch, no root, no bootloader unlocked, no custom rom. I double pressed it and the camera launched. I don't know if it has to do with hiding the stock Sense Home screen via adb. I don't know what I did. I don't find a setting or anything in the entire system.

Well, Nexus phones have had that for a while, Samsung too (with the home button). I just find it random that it randomly appeared on my 10, no mention of it anywhere.

Now that you mention it, I remember someone on the Viper10 thread requesting it, and saying it was available on Nexus. I have never owned a Nexus phone myself; only Nexus tablets; but the new Pixel line is certainly intriguing.

It's a nice feature, fastest camera shortcut, imo. Somehow, I am the only one to have it naturally. I asked LlabTooFeR on Twitter and he doesn't know about it, said it could be a "bug".

But Like I said, I hid the Sense Lock Screen for it to be replaced with the AOSP Lock screen. (no root, no boot unlocking, no tricks, no hacks)

Yeah, I read it somewhere, it's one of the effects of disabling the HTC Lockscreen. Having the stock Android Lockscreen enables that double press shortcut.
I have a question too though, does the fingerprint scanner work on the Stock Android Lockscreen?

I don't know if I am just used to my old phone, or the volume/power button locations are backwards, but I am used to closing my phone with the power button. It's too awkward to do on the Pixel 2 XL.

Does the nova launcher prime allow double tap lock and fingerprint unlock. That's what I'd really like to have. All the other apps I've tried defeat the fingerprint unlock.

Wow, that is nice! I gotta tell you, I was just telling my wife yesterday morning how underwhelmed I was with my new P2XL. It's a good phone, it just isn't really enjoyable to use for me. It doesn't "wow me". This is a huge improvement already, and certainly worth the measly $.99. Thanks guys.

So I do have one small beef with the Nova double tap screen lock. While it does extinguish the screen, it doesn't actually *lock it* for about eight seconds. So you can't just double tap and stick it in your pocket, or it starts to run amok. Any way to resolve this?

from what I read.. using a launcher ( like Nova Prime ) , would allow you to turn the screen off with a double tap. however this uses admin rights to lock the device and disables fingerprint unlock.. This defeats the purchase of turning the screen off for me as I love using fingerprint to unlock and wake the device. Thank you.
I have apps with device admin rights enabled and still have fingerprint unlock.
