Hi!
I would like to know if it is a stock option or if possible to enable swipe/tap to wake from lock or swipe/double tap to lock.
I really dislike using my power button as it is super flimsy, I love this feature from sense.
Any input would be greatly appreciated! :fingers-crossed:

Hey guys, loving this phone so far. Was wondering if there was an alternative to the double tap to lock feature if not using the stock lg g3 launcher. I am too accustomed to using nova and that is the only thing i can't get it to do anymore. ( I also like how i can use the "ok google" hotword from any screen while using nova) I can still use knock code and the double tap to turn on the screen, but i cant do it to lock the phone. Any suggestions? I have seen apps were i can tap the icon to lock and what not, just wondering if there is anything like the official lg feature where you can tap any open area on the home screen to lock the device. thanks!
If you stick to the stock launcher, a double tap locks the screen. Don't know any other launchers with that feature yet...
Edit: I got it to work in apex. Changed the behavior of a gesture and tired it to shortcuts--> activities--> soft lock
(Soft Lock) is an app I downloaded from the play store to test this.
I set it to double finger swipe up but you can set it to double tap too.
Good luck!

Hello,
Double tap to wake is enabled in motion gestures but it's not working for me.
I'm on Viper 10 3.2.0
with elementalx 0.22
and pnp and thermals tweaks
Can someone help me please ?
Thanks
Try changing the lock screen to HTC lockscreen. As I read in that rom thread that it only works for that lockscreen. I dont know if they meant for that lock screen on stock rom or viper. Report back and let us know!
It only works on the stock HTC lock screen. And only when the phone is landscape

Hello,
Thanks for your answers.
That's strange, I already use the HTC Lockscreen. When I wake up the phone using the power button and see the lockscreen, double tap let me put it in sleep mode.
Double tap to sleep is working but not Double tap to Wake...

Recalibrate gravity sensor. That might help. Also you need to be holding the phone in portrait mode for it to work. It also generally needs a bit more forceful tap to wake.
I agree that the tap has to be a little more forceful than what you would regularly do. My phone is completely stock and it works to wake or sleep while it is laying in the table ir I have it in my hands. I don't have to hold it any special way for it to work.

Don't you have to use the pull motion to activate the double tap to wake.
Eg: pick up phone, double tap, screen comes on.

Hi Mew,
I'm having the same issue with my brand new HTC 10 that just came in today. Or the opposite? I can Double Tap to Wake but not Sleep.
Why does DT to Sleep ONLY work on the lockscreen? Did you ever get this figured out??
Please let me know.
Thanks.
So it looks like we have double tap to wake? Anyone confirm it works after deep sleep?
Yes double tapping turns it on.

Lol, I didn't know it had that feature, but now it explains a lot of accidental wakeups on my part. I miss capacitive buttons and a home button fingerprint scanner combo. Though I do like that they do allow you to hide the onscreen buttons and activate them with a gesture. I'm just waiting for this to get rooted.
If you are having difficulty reaching power button to put phone to sleep, you can remap the Bixby button to do so.
Its pretty easy.
You should be on at least XXXXASBA firmware.
Add a quick command in Bixby at Advanced Feature.
Command "Turn off Display".
In bixby remap optipn, select single press and assign the command.
The only drawback is it takes a sec to turn the screen off.
Still, sometimes it better than reaching that Monster's button on top. Enjoy!!
Ah thanks mate, you're a genius. If only they had double tap to lock on the stock launcher

You do have it in launchers like Nova. Couldn't find anything special about OneUi launcher so it took me 0.0001s to make wise decision
Also been using Nova double tap to lock...

You can create a shortcut to lock the screen instead using the same Quick command. Just go to quick command. Select the gear icon next to the command and create the shortcut by selecting Add shortcut to home screen. At least you now get an alternative to double tap on screen.
Double tap to lock screen might also be possible if you use Tasker (I am not sure but I can give it a try)
Thanks, I'm using this now ?
Thanks, this is actually pretty smart.
But I feel like its more for lefties. Still have to reach when holding it in my right hand, so basically makes no difference reaching bixby button or the power button.
If you have "difficulties" reaching the power button... Then you have serious anatomical issues and the phone sl button a is the least of your worries...
Just grab Good Lock, install NavStar and add the screen off button to your navigation bar.
Here's how I have mine set up...
you can use One Hand Gesture+ as well, and set one of the gesture handles to turn off the screen. Simply swipe from either side that you like (similar to how you open Apps Edge) to turn off the screen

GoodLock is not globally available. NiceLock is an alternative though.
