Question Double tap to wake screen feature missing on my Axon 30 5G - ZTE Axon 30

My Axon 30 5G purchased here in the US does not have the double tap to wake screen feature, which is the feature I always look for when getting a new device. I dug deep into all settings since I got it the day it was released. I was hoping an update would put the feature on, but so far there is none and double tap to wake feature is still missing. My friend has the ULTRA variant and it has double tap to wake function right there on the settings screen.
Has anyone else have the double tap to wake screen feature on their Axon 30 5G or is it just mine missing it?
Please help me get the feature on. I'm just at a loss why Axon could have missed it on the Axon 30 5G when the feature is available and active on my friend's Axon 30 ULTRA. Is the omission deliberate on the part of Axon or the feature is just hidden deep in the OS.
Thank you for any help.

It's in Settings - Features - Gesture & motion

Thank you for your response with the screenshot of Gesture & motion setting. Yes, I do have that same screen option on my Axon 30 5G, but the topmost "Double tap screen to wake" option is missing on my phone.
Your screenshot of that same setting is also verified present on my friend's Axon 30 ULTRA.
So now, I'm just wondering why it is available on your Axon 30 5G and also present on my friend's Axon 30 ULTRA but selectively missing on my Axon 30 5G.
I hope I find an answer to this mystery. Thank you for your reply though.

Interestingly, mine does not show the Hardware Version. Yours is US and mine EEA. I guess that's probably why you can't find it. Send them an email maybe they respond. https://zteusa.com/pages/support

So strange, I don't get it why only my device model not having this feature. Anyone in the US reading these? Can you verify if your Axon 30 5G in the US also does not have the double tap to wake screen feature? Thank you.

Mine is also missing the feature which I miss a lot. I haven't had a phone that didn't have that feature in I don't even know how long. I'm also unable to unlock the bootloader which is a huge pain. I'm fine on stock but there are so many possibilities rooting unlocks that I'd love to give a shot in this phone.

Sorry for this very belated update. Around December 2021 ZTE Tech Support replied to my emails, saying their team was indeed looking at the missing DOUBLE TAP TO WAKE screen feature that I brought to their attention, further saying that the feature will be implemented in the next software update. A couple months later the new software update came to my device, and sure enough the new feature of DOUBLE TAP TO WAKE SCREEN was already there.

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.

Fingerprint icon - No tap to show?

So on my s10 i can tap the screen to reveal the fingerprint icon so that i know where i need to place my finger but this setting is missing from the note 10?
This means i have to double tap to wake the screen and then use the fingerprint scanner! Its much quicker the other way and enables me to bypass the lock screen altogether!
Anyone else know what iam talking about and do you have the setting on your note 10 plus ?
I can single tap the screen to get the sensor location. AOD is set to "tap to show". Hope that helps

Oh interesting! Maybe AOD needs to be on so! AOD is off on my S10 but i can still tap to show the indicator. The settings on my S10 that give me that option are not available on my Note 10 +

I tried that and it works but then the clock is displayed too which i dont want! Basically i can unlock the phone from sleep using my fingerprint and bypass the lockscreen but have no idea where to place my thumb! On the S10 you could tap to see an indicator but you cant on the Note 10 for some reason! You have to guess or else your forced to use the always on display

If youre just unlocking it right after tapping it, why does it matter if the clock shows for a split second?
I turned off my AOD and tapping the screen brings up the place to touch without anything else...
Don't know why software experiences can be so different, I'm in Oz if that helps with a stock Exynos variant...

Lock Screen & Biometrics After O/night

I don't know what is happening but during the day, i can double tap or use power button to wake screen and use biometric inputs to unlock.
But when its left overnight i have to swipe up and enter pin, never used to happen on the S10 Plus.
Theres no schedule reboot ect on so this should not happen?
S20 Ultra 5G.
Anyone have ideas?
I'd say your handset is auto restarting. Maybe check to see if you have enabled a scheduled "Auto Restart"
I checked all that, theres no auto or scheduled restarts.
Just set to lock after 5 seconds of inactivity, but that isn't the issue as i can leave it for a few hours in the day and it doesn't ask for the pin.
it's normal for faceunlock you have to enter pin every 24 hrs or so and for fingerprint every 72 hrs i believe... somewhere in biometric settings there is text that explains this. yeah it's a normal security feature.

S20+ here (upgraded from S10+), I have this issue too, wasn't there on S10+. Kinda annoying. You can keep your screen on while charging in developer options, but I like the AOD because it shows the time on my nightstand.
you have to pin/pattern every 4 hours if you dont use the phone. i'm honestly regretting buying such rubbish flagship phone that force "feature" down your throat. the fp cant scan for **** too.

Yeah kind of sucks, with the mate 20 pro, i had lift to wake and face unlock, it would literally instantly unlock if i picked up the phone and held infront of my face in total darkness. The s10 and s20 cant do that. If i set lift to wake there has to be some background lighting for one and the other half it asks for the pin anyway. Frustrating.

Pocket Texting/Calls

My Note 10+ (Pie) insists on ignoring my double tap to turn the screen on but comes on all by itself while in my pocket and despite a PIN on the lockscreen it texts and makes calls all by itself.
Honestly, this is the best Samsung can do?
I am very over this phone and it will be my last Samsung I'm afraid.
Anyone have any ideas to stop it texting/calling all by itself?
Thanks in advance.

Hey there make sure your "touch settings" under Display settings are where you like them (or fiddle with them to see if anything changes) and your "lock screen" & "AOD" settings are correct.
My Note10+ (android 10) lives in my pockets and has no "false" calling or texts. I find it's usually "operator error" since Samsung has soooo many options and settings. Also you might like android 10 over 9.... peace and good luck!
Keep the display facing away from your body.
I use Double Tap with normally no issues.

Question Tap to check phone gesture no longer behaving like it used to

Hello, I just got my pixel 6 pro today. And I've been having some issues. Especially with the "tap to check phone" gesture.
I remember vividly that when I would tap on my phone, the screen with show up, but dimmed. And now when I tap my phone, it shows the phone's lockscreen at full brightness instead of being dimmed, which is arguably not what it used to be.
Was this changed in a later update, or is there a way to fix that? I really liked that feature and I really want it back!

As informative as this thread is, that's not the issue. I don't want it disabled. I want it to behave that when you tap on the phone, it shows the always on display briefly, instead of turning on the screen. I swear this used to work before
