Does the Pixel XL have double tap to wake? - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

Or Android 7 in general? Do you have to hit the side button to wake it up all the time?

That's not necessarily OS related but also hardware. On the N6 on 6.0.1 and 7 double tap to wake works. No one will know for the Pixel's until people actually have them.

They will implement it in a future software update, according to this article.

I think it's there I've seen some first hands on video in which he double taps to wake up the phone I'll post the link if i find it

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.

Knockr Brings HTC’s Motion Launch Functionality to Galaxy SIII

Guys I just wanna inform who dont aware of great news,htc features successfuly working on our phones
App working well on Galaxy SIII
Copy from xda portal post
One of the most interesting proprietary features of the HTC One M8 (2014) is undoubtedly Motion Launch. For those who aren’t familiar with Motion Launch, it essentially allows you to wake your device from sleep and launch certain apps with a few easy gestures such as bringing the device into a particular orientation and flicking your thumb on the screen.
As interesting as Motion Launch is, the feature is unfortunately limited to the M8. Luckily, XDA Forum Member Acela1230 created Knockr to bring some of the same functionality to various other devices. Now before we wet started, it’s important to note that Knockr is only meant for OLED devices. This is because the application keeps the screen “on” even when it is off, in order to accept touch input. This isn’t really an issue with OLED devices, as a black pixel requires next to no power.
Knockr currently supports several gestures including double tapping the screen, swiping in a particular direction (up, down, left or right), long pressing the screen, and pressing the volume up key. These gestures can then be defined to launch applications of your choosing or unlocking the screen.
So if you’ve got an OLED device such as Samsung’s or Motorola’s recent offerings, head over to the application thread and give Knockr a try.

It DOES work. S3 have an AM-OLED screen. I tested it and works well, the negative side is deep sleep (phone does not enter in deep sleep because it is awaken all the time by making the screen on but all black), but it is very interesting

yes it is working it have some bugs but its working
i don't think that the phone "dosen't go to the sleep" is a big problem in that case because AM-OLED screen don't consume much power when they are in black mode, just like the S5 when you use the power save mode it turn every thing black and white so that screen don't use much power to save battery
i have use that app like 2 days now and battery draining is not noticeable at all, the Rom i use ( imperuim rom ) hold 23 hours in standby mode when i used this app its 22 hours 20 min i mean u can give a few min of your battery life to this great app

Can any one use knockr tech in fake s5 fingerprint lockscreen!? I think this is awesome!
After check again...is working good...! My apologis for my wrong..!
Just an idea : Why isn't there an app wakes up the screen when we swipe our finger over the menu & the back capacitive buttons starting from left or right (forget the physical home button)?
This is a feature in kernels for phones without a physical home button known as the Swipe 2 Wake feature...

tip: double tap to unlock screen

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

Double Tap To Sleep Only Works in Lockscreen For Me

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.

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.

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

At the moment that isn't a feature/option... Huawei didn't put it in the rom. Either they add it in an official update or when/if this phone gets rooted a custom rom is made with it, but even then I believe the kernel need to support it too.

The system aod doesn't support 3rd party app notifications, this app has double tap to wake and all notifications on aod. But it seems like battery drain faster.
