I have a question for users of this phone. Is it possible to wake the screen with a double click?

I don't think so, but with Huawei's book case it wakes just by opening the case
Three years ago I planned to buy this phone, but the lack of this feature effectively discouraged me from buying it. I thought that HUAWEI would bow to the pressure of users and introduce this function in the next versions of EMUI. It's a pity, especially that now you can buy this device for about $ 300,
it hasn't it and is one of the most boring things imaginable.
But.. raise to wake is present

Wondering if double tap can work if downgrading to EMUI 9.1 whereby bootloader can be unlocked allowing one to modify the system settings?

this is a kernel feature and the kernel developers for our device not interested to add it i think.
you can ask about [DT2W/S2W] features in kernel thread

At the moment, there is not, but maybe in the future the P6 will support this action.

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.
Right

I had this feature, it's really handy, but yes it's completely not related with the DT2W
Hi guys, when i bought my oppo find 7a 1 month ago, i was searching for some tips and tricks on youtube and found out that you basically never have to touch the power button to lock or unlock the phone. Just double tap anywhere on the screen to unlock and double tap the home button to lock. This simple tip makes it so easy and quick to lock/unlock faster (really helpfull since it's a big phone).
Maybe you will find it weird, but it makes me love the phone so much more just because of that. I don't know if other phones does that? I am so used to this tip now that i always double tap as a reflex when i use my friend's phone from other brands and then realise that it doesn't work.
If you didn't know this trick, maybe it will feel weird for a some times to develop this reflex of double taping, but try it and you'll love it after some time.
I guess that nobody reads instructions manuals anymore...

Welcome to the forum. Did you also know that drawing a circle on the screen while the screen is off will launch the camera, drawing the letter 'v' will toggle the flashlight on/off
By going in to settings then about phone and tapping on android version 5 times in a row will bring up a cool secret easter egg from Google
Will touch screen digitizer can harmed by double tap wakeup? I had a htc m7 earlier and i put double tap wakeup using sence tool box or something like that. But after few months about 1cm line started not responding. So i'm afraid to put it on my m8. So please give me some suggestions.

I hv been using this feature for quite long now on my m8. It doesnt harm in any way. And you dont need to install double tap to wake, its enabled by default on stock rom and most custom roms on M8.
I have never had any hardware or software related issues with double tap to wake on the following devices -
1. M8
2. Oneplus One
3. Zennfone 2
4. Vibe X2
So dont worry go ahead and use it.
Thanks for quick reply. Yeah i know that m8's official firmware include that feature. Anyway i'll use it. Will it make battery drain?

Yup it will, the reason is touch screen will be always active even if display is off, so as to detect double tap. But practically battery drain will be unnoticeable.
If any of you clever developers / tinkerers know of a 'lite' app to use to fix the non working ambient display issues I.E. pick up to wake doesnt work, a recommendation would be soooo welcome. I looked at apps like gravity etc in the play store, but they are a. rather large and b. the permissions they require are a bit suspect. Thanks in advance
Did not know something was wrong.
So I pick it up it does not wake up, I think is a good thing. When I pick it up and I want a display, I press something and have no problem with that.
This maybe one reason the Pixel XL has an excellent battery life.
At the suggestion of another user here, I installed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tomer.alwayson
It's reminiscent of Samsung's version but has a lot more customisability. There's also an option to turn of the display completely when the proximity sensor is activated. All of the permissions make perfect sense fit the features you select and it doesn't cause a terrible battery hit.

Cool app, appears to hit battery fairly hard in my test.

That's why I said it wasn't terrible... Lol. It's definitely not great on your battery, but I can still make it through a day with quite heavy usage.
Ambient display is only meant to flash notifications on the screen in black and white for a short period then turn off. As far as I know, the pick up and bump to wake is an OEM added feature that Motorola, Samsung, and likely others added, but it isn't in stock Android.

On the Pixel XL it flashes only once which i find to be a disappointment. Also on the Nexus 6 , 6P and 5X the notification/time flashed once upon picking up or moving the phone a bit. This is not enabled on the Pixel models for some reason.

I'm the same way.
But obviously the OP feels different so why bother to post.
This feature does not even work for me at all (but I am able to get the light to pulse). After talking to pixel support for about 30 minutes they did confirm that Ambient display has an engineering problem they are currently working on.

Damn !! I was going nuts trying to figure out why this phone was not acting like my Nexus 6. lol I loved the Moto display then had to end up liking the Nexus 6 version afterwards. Then this Pixel XL only flashing the notice once then never again was aggravating. and of course no good app on the play store to emulate this function with 7.1 lol
well I hope this engineering problem can be fixed with software. :silly:
I've created an app that wakes ambient display when you take the phone out of your pocket or if you have the phone face down and turn it over. The app is in addition to Google's ambient display and does not change your lock screen in anyway.
I added a few other paid features for pulsing at an interval, wave to unlock, and battery percentage display on the ambient display.
I would love to have a few beta testers for the extra features, as it's a work in progress. Message me if you'd like a free code to redeem for the paid features.

Double tap?
Gcam needs RAW support by the camera driver.
My SODP based ROMs support it.
(And GCAM needs GAPPS)
be aware that the camera is work in progress there, if you rely on it, I would wait with unlocking the phone until it's okay.
Sry I mean double tap to wake.
Sad that GCAM don't work. I'll wait a bit before I unlock because it's a company phone and I don't want to say to my boss "sry I've bricked my new phone"

If I remember correctly only the XZ3 has it, because the battery drain is too high on a non OLED display. (Black color takes non power on OLED screens, while other colors taking more power than a LCD screen)
But maybe somewhere is a mod, which requires root (unlocking mandatory again hihi)
You're allowed to unlock a company phone and maybe kill the warranty? [emoji14]

It's a small company so it's not a problem, except if the phone is bricked

Very cool!
Make sure you updated to the newest PIE firmware before unlocking
Sony tends to remove the DRM more with each new OS version.
Maybe you want to wait for the Q update, before you unlock.
