Well you also need prime. In gestures. Then double tap to screen lock.

got it. thx!!
Thank you for asking this. I was wondering the same thing.
I don't know if I am just used to my old phone, or the volume/power button locations are backwards, but I am used to closing my phone with the power button. It's too awkward to do on the Pixel 2 XL.

Does the nova launcher prime allow double tap lock and fingerprint unlock. That's what I'd really like to have. All the other apps I've tried defeat the fingerprint unlock.

Yup
But I like swipe up to lock better. Works really well if your rooted.
Wow, that is nice! I gotta tell you, I was just telling my wife yesterday morning how underwhelmed I was with my new P2XL. It's a good phone, it just isn't really enjoyable to use for me. It doesn't "wow me". This is a huge improvement already, and certainly worth the measly $.99. Thanks guys.

Cool beans, glad you like it. Merry Christmas to you and yours :good:
So I do have one small beef with the Nova double tap screen lock. While it does extinguish the screen, it doesn't actually *lock it* for about eight seconds. So you can't just double tap and stick it in your pocket, or it starts to run amok. Any way to resolve this?

yeah i'm thinking i may have to go that route as well.. not sure I want to root because I do not want to mess up my device.. but I really want to have options to turn off screen and have root menu options...
Sounds more of a hassle than just using a launcher.

from what I read.. using a launcher ( like Nova Prime ) , would allow you to turn the screen off with a double tap. however this uses admin rights to lock the device and disables fingerprint unlock.. This defeats the purchase of turning the screen off for me as I love using fingerprint to unlock and wake the device. Thank you.
I have apps with device admin rights enabled and still have fingerprint unlock.

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone knew of a good app for unlocking the tablet while connected to your home's WiFi? To be clear I would still like a lockscreen, but be to have it that when I leave home it goes back to being pin protected. I tried tasker but it can only disable the lockscreen completely, and while I would settle for that, I was wondering if anyone here knew of a solution! Thanks
Easy to do with Tasker. Best money you will spend if you dive into it. You can make your devices do anything you want.

I couldn't figure out how to make it only unlock but leave my lockscreen there (like it doesn't go straight to home screen when I press unlock button) do you know if that's possible ? I looked around rather quickly because if it didn't have it I wanted to be within refund period :S
Check out this link http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57478334-285/the-most-practical-creative-ways-to-use-nfc-with-your-android-device/ . Came across it on FB and just watching the vid showed some of the possibilities for the NFC chip and I think it will do what your looking for.
Seems interesting.. I think the main problem is that disabling security and and leaving lockscreen is not an option sadly so like, it's all or nothing :/ I could live with that I suppose haha but kinda sucks
Have you seen this app? It does exactly as you want and works great, I've had it, and its great

it doesn't support patterns, the only lock I use. PINs and passwords are too slow to enter every time.
Try "Settings Profile" on the app store. Similar to tablet but much easier to use. I use it to do exactly what you describe.

I'm going to treat myself to some NFC tags to see if that will do it

It's basically a bunch of Tasker tasks already programmed. Taller is more powerful, but harder to learn.

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.

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

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.

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?

It's Android 10. It's going to be the same. It's been the same for the last 5 releases. The question is about the date. And those aren't 2 widgets. It's the stock implementation of the "At a Glance" and the Android clock widget...

You can't get rid of it. Just grab a custom launcher. It's funny how people differ in opinion, I can't go without that bar now at the bottom. Use it to search everything and being right there is so convenient.
