Hey! I got my oneplus 5T two days back. Everything is perfect just that the screen off gestures don't seem to be working. As in, I'm not able to wake the phone up by double tap the screen option. Also, the alphabet gestures for flashlight, camera etc are not working as well. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Do you activate them? First I also thought they don't work until i saw, that every single gesture was deactivated. Like "draw an o - none".

Yeah! I have an Oneplus 5 as well. The gestures work in that one alright! It's just 5T, where they don't. I have activated the gestures.

I have the same issue when trying to use a circle to turn on the flashlight.
That's strange.Restart it maybe helped.

I've got an unrooted m8, I've noticed it won't turn off if I double tap even though the gesture is enabled.. It turns on perfectly, it's Jst too troublesome to turn it off while driving since I use navigation a lot. Any solution would be great since I'm new to HTC
Thanks

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.

*#*#6484#*#* line #1
so there are 2 version of A2 Lite which has and has no double tap to wake, we have to accept it as they are, but which is better or worse?
Is there anyway to turn off the screen with the home button and then be able to use the fingerprint scanner to unlock?
Advanced features > side key.
For the locking part, there is an app called home button actions, but good lock would give you more functions , as to unlock, there is a double tap option, as LG devices have had since some time
I really appreciate the answers but still looking for an easy way to long press the home button to turn off the screen and have it turn back on with the fingerprint sensor.

Nova - gestures, home button, screen lock.
Always on display - active, fingerprint unlock turned on.
I think this is the closest you can get. I don't think the fingerprint is active while the screen's completely off.
If you want the screen completely off, you'll have to use the lift to wake option, that way it turns on as soon as you pick up your phone. You'll have to turn that option on in the phone settings.
Edit: "Nova".

A single press turns off the screen and pressing the fingerprint sensor when the screen is off turns on the phone. You can set a long press to bring up power off menu.
Just press the power button and the screen will turn off. The easiest way
You can also use "good lock" and the navstar plugin to create a power button shortcut.
Double Tap apk
I use the Double Tap apk. Simple double tap anywhere on the screen to turn t off.
May not work with Android Q though as it's an over lay... works perfectly with Pie.

Do you have a link for that app?
I use the app "DTSO" from the Google Play Store & it works fine on every device mfg except for Samsung. It works on the initial setup, but, subsequent attempts & it does nothing.
On all other devices, I'm able to use a DTSO widget for double tap, on & off.,with no problems.

If you're running on Android Q I don't think it will work as it's an overlay. Uses no data; well behaved.

Yeah, too bad. Just checked the date of the last update to that app, been a good while, pre-dating Android 10 (Q).

One of the reasons I'm not going to Q. I have a couple overlay apps that work well and I use.
The added "security" is a bad joke at a high cost to functionality.

Part, if not all of that, is a Samsung limitation, the app I'm using, DTSO, is similar to the one you referenced, it's an overlay/widget & it works just fine on my stock/unrooted OnePlus 7 Pro & it's running Android 10/Q.
The DTSO app never worked properly pre-dating Android 10 on any Samsung devices I've owned, & I tried other similar apps & the same results.
Regardless, it's a head-scratcher as to why Samsung doesn't build in the functionality, a la LG, perhaps it's a Knox thing limiting it, IDK......

Another option is One Handed Operation Plus. You can set gesture control screen off and much more. I wuv this apk. Up to 6 different discreet switch zones and up to 6 switches per zone. Very low power consumption and reliable. Perfect companion to fill in those unused curve screen zones, a brilliant apk.

Since I'm not using a screen lock the double tap on/off is great. Samsung marketing is like a box of rabid gerbils; absurd and unpredictable.
However when it comes to unrooted phone customization, Samsung is hands down the best.
A plain Jane Apple would bore me to death...

THX for the heads up, I've had this app for a while now, missed that option, now using down swipe for screen off, this works for me.

The long stroke gestures aren't as reliable.
Useful for Apks that get inadvertently triggered like flashlight, ha-ha.
Occasionally it gets triggered when cut and pasting but it integrates in pretty well. Adjusting the zone size and placement can help prevent this.
Plus you can have the touch zone indicator any color or transparency setting you like or none al all.
Great touch for custom themes.
Making use of the customization Samsung apps takes the Note 10+ to a completely new level.
Outstanding... and very resource/battery friendly.
Not sure it's just a bug or an issue with the vibration motor on my unit, but - when I open the app drawer and long press on an app, the vibration pattern changes each time, ranging from very weak to quite strong and deep. When pressing on apps on home screen, the vibration is consistent. Can anyone please test on their Mi 10T Pro? Thanks in advance!
Yes, definitely there is some inconsistency. For me, when an app is long pressed, vibration motor clicks once and sometimes it clicks twice, giving a strong feel. Looks like a bug as it works fine for the apps in home screen.
Hi, I do not get any vibration feedback when long-pressing apps on the home screen. How to enable? I can't find anything
Vibration works good on everything else, just not on the homescreen.

That's another bug i guess.. there is no specific setting that controls vibration for long press!

I realized the issue. I was using a DEC 7 build of the system launcher from apkmirror. I uninstalled it, set the region to India, then updated the launcher using the system apps updater in settings ( It wouldn't update on any other region)
Note on the DEC 7 build, the vibration was consistent in the app drawer and the issue you guys are talking about was fixed. The only compromise is that you get no haptic feedback when long-pressing icons on the home screen.
Hi,
I've configured my S4 to use full screen gestures instead of navigation buttons. This used to work fine.
Recently I noticed that the gestures not always work. When an app is in full screen mode, the first time I try such a gesture, the notification bar becomes visible for a short time, and usually the app responds to the gesture. When I do it again the gesture is acted upon by the system as intended.
Does anyone recognize this behaviour? Did I miss a new setting?

I'll have to check. I know mine does this in-game, but that's expected. I'll check in other apps.

So mine is the same way, when in a full screen app the first swipe only shows the bar, then the second swipe does the action. My guess is it's so you don't accidentally close a full screen app? Not sure. I think mine has done this since I switched to gestures.
