[Q] A question regarding double tap

In the Motion Gestures, it says that this phone can double tap to wake and to sleep. Double tap to wake is working great, but it doesn't double tap to sleep. Has anyone else noticed if double tap to sleep works?

It works, but only in the lockscreen.

Sometimes double tap doesn't work for no reason, do you have any idea what's going on?

You can also go to Dev settings and tick the double tap status bar to sleep. Much handier than the lock screen bc you have to turn the phone OFF to get to lock screen and defeats the whole purpose of double tap to sleep...

I know about that part, but even when I hold it correctly it doesn't work, it only works again after I reboot the phone

If you just got your phone, it may have been sitting in the box awhile and may need to be updated. Go to the Play Store and search for HTC Motion Launch to see if an update is available. Also, check on your phone and/or with your carrier to find out if a software update is available for your phone.

Double tap to wake on my phone doesn't work well. I have to double tap several times so might as well just use the wake hardware button.
Is everyone's P2 the same?

I've tested it on my phone. It actually works nearly flawless. 19 out of 20 attempts are spot on. Maybe it's because of some setting?

No, it's quite unresponsive, at least compared to my old phone LG G2 from year 2013. I have to tap right above the hardware button. I can also tap in the center of the screen but then I'd have to do it with a specific technique, two gentle taps with a certain period of time in between.

It's not as reliable as on LG phones. So I don't use it on the P2. Out in the wild you don't have time to "do it right". It should just work like every single time like on my V10.

So it's not just me. Double tap on the P2 does seem to be pretty bad.
Good phone though ?

It's due to aggressive Android Doze feature...
The DTTW is not going to work AFTER 15 minutes in sleep/lock state (applicable to stock LeMoto Android Mellow or Nougat firmware...)
Just disable the Android Doze permanently with negative impact to standby/idle energy consumption rate...

An alternative might be to use ForceDoze and choose not to disable sensors. I haven't tried it myself.
Edit: Seems to be working pretty good.

Maybe can try going to Settings>Power Manager>Battery Optimization... Under the drop down menu on the top, select "All Apps"... Then scroll down to "Light Up The Screen"... And select "don't optimize"...

That seems to work. Thank you

Thank you very much. Double tap to wake works perfectly now. I couldn't imagine it was so simple

solazz is a star! Double tap now working perfectly for me.

I tried to optimize "light up the screen", but the screen is easily turned on if I keep the phone in my pocket while moving. I ended up using only the power button.
Edit: Meant deoptimize of course.

DTW is only usefull iff you dont use fingerprint wake i think.

Double tap to wake

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.

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?

Lock Screen Is Bypassed With Ambient Display On

I have been having an issue for awhile that is driving me crazy. I have my screen lock set to swipe with Ambient Display set to on and Double Tap to check phone enabled. On occasion, I can double tap to wake the phone or push the power button when the Ambient Display is showing and the lock screen is bypassed and the Home Screen is displayed. I have tried to go to Settings/Security & location/Advanced and Clear Credentials, followed by a reboot. It solves the issue for awhile but then it returns. Sometimes it is several days and sometimes it is within several hours. Anyone else have this issue? If so did you figure out a fix? Thanks

When you choose "swipe", it disables your lock screen.
Try this: choose password/pin/pattern for your lockscreen. Add a fingerprint too. Then go back to settings and choose swipe. You'll get a warning that you are disabling device protection and removing security for it.

Thanks. It looks like swipe is actually a choice for the lock screen . I have been using it for about a year. None is the choice if you want to bypass it. I did try what you suggested and it worked for a day, but then it reverted back to bypassing again. Thanks again

Anyway to turn off the phone with the home button?

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.
