I updated earlier to 4.4w.2 and it went smoothly but I noticed that my cards don't show up on my watch face when I bring my wrist up to look at them. It pretty much shows just my watch face. I was under the impression that with the new update the cards show up and I can swipe them down for later not not show up at all which isn't good for me cause then Im not sure what I just got at a glance.
Is that how the update makes the watch behave now or did mine get a little screwed?
Try restarting your watch. Worked for me..
I'll give it a go
Mine's been the same way since the update; but I'm not sure either if it's supposed to be that way or if its a bug. I was under the same impression as the OP, that they'd appear by default and you could hide them when needed.
I had issues with no cards and no notifications, and none of the apps would launch. I rebooted my phone and after it came up, then rebooted my watch and now everything is working. The only thing i'm having issues with, it that it keeps putting itself on silent. I'll set it to vibrate and about 2 hours later i'll look down at my watch and see that I had a notification. I go to check the volume and it had put itself on silent. Kind of annoying. Did it both with the 4.4w.1 and the newest update.
Okay I think I figured out a solution to the issue; in my case I just didn't understand what a certain setting in the Android Wear app actually meant. The one that says "Show Cards When Display is Dimmed", has two options: Always Show and Always Hide. Previously, I always chose "Always Hide", and cards would pop up as normal on the home screen clock; but now that's not how it works. Choosing "Always Hide" means cards will never show up on your homescreen clock (and you won't have the option to swipe them up). Choosing "Always Show" on the other hand, gives you the option: a card will pop up on the clock screen as usual, but you can swipe it down to hide it and swipe back up to bring it back. The card will also be reflected when the ambient screen comes on, unless you swipe it down to hide it. Anyway, figuring this out helped my issue so I thought it might be worth mentioning.
So other phones like the Sony Xperia and LG V-Series phones have a feature where the phone can detect your eyes and/or face while you are reading something on the screen while NOT touching it. This feature is MOST helpful when reading whatever is on the screen and NOT wanting it to shut off either.
For whatever crazy reason, the HTC 10 does NOT have this feature! And when I try to install 3rd party apps in order to make this an option, I always have some issue come up that doesn't let it work. Does ANYONE have a way around this that DOESN'T involve bootloader unlocking and/or rooting????????! It is so frustrating to me that HTC did not think to put this on a 2016 FLAGSHIP natively.
Thanks!
Why not just adjust the screen timeout settings? Not exactly what you're looking for but it'll do the job.

Well b/c I wanna save battery life. I'm not ALWAYS reading the screen, and I don't want it to stay on longer than needed. I just can't believe HTC didn't think of this. I LOVE this phone except for 1) This very issue and 2) The fact that when you enable ANY kind of security measure on the phone involving the lockscreen, Double Tap To Sleep ONLY works if you're ON the lockscreen (a lesser issue to me, but still). Both LG and and Sony have this same option, and NEITHER has any issue with it. You just double tap the screen to turn the screen off, and no problem. The apps I got that DID let the double tap to sleep work also disable the security settings, which isn't cool Just can't believe HTC didn't think of this.
They could fix BOTH issues with updates, but who knows if they will.

hi com,
This app is a step in the RIGHT direction, but it keeps the screen, on where I need something that scans for my eyes and/or face so I can read the screen comfortably and not feel rushed to touch the screen to keep it on.
I'll write to the developer though since he seems cool.
Thanks!!
Set it to 30 minutes or an hour (Which isn't possible on Samsung phones (10 min max so they have to waste unnecessary battery life with useless smart stay which is crap at night), and turn your screen off manually like everyone else.
Custom roms allow holding home button to sleep or various other options.
If you switch to viper ROM, there's a quick setting called "caffeine" it will keep your screen on until manually shut off or set period of time

I could do that, but I'd rather not. lol
I ended up finding an app called Wakey which when you get the full version, it keeps the screen on for any specific apps you choose until you either manually shut the screen off yourself or else leave/close out of those apps. So basically it's been resolved.
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.

*#*#6484#*#* line #1
so there are 2 version of A2 Lite which has and has no double tap to wake, we have to accept it as they are, but which is better or worse?
Is there anyway to turn off the screen with the home button and then be able to use the fingerprint scanner to unlock?
Advanced features > side key.
For the locking part, there is an app called home button actions, but good lock would give you more functions , as to unlock, there is a double tap option, as LG devices have had since some time
I really appreciate the answers but still looking for an easy way to long press the home button to turn off the screen and have it turn back on with the fingerprint sensor.

Nova - gestures, home button, screen lock.
Always on display - active, fingerprint unlock turned on.
I think this is the closest you can get. I don't think the fingerprint is active while the screen's completely off.
If you want the screen completely off, you'll have to use the lift to wake option, that way it turns on as soon as you pick up your phone. You'll have to turn that option on in the phone settings.
Edit: "Nova".

A single press turns off the screen and pressing the fingerprint sensor when the screen is off turns on the phone. You can set a long press to bring up power off menu.
Just press the power button and the screen will turn off. The easiest way
You can also use "good lock" and the navstar plugin to create a power button shortcut.
Double Tap apk
I use the Double Tap apk. Simple double tap anywhere on the screen to turn t off.
May not work with Android Q though as it's an over lay... works perfectly with Pie.

Do you have a link for that app?
I use the app "DTSO" from the Google Play Store & it works fine on every device mfg except for Samsung. It works on the initial setup, but, subsequent attempts & it does nothing.
On all other devices, I'm able to use a DTSO widget for double tap, on & off.,with no problems.

If you're running on Android Q I don't think it will work as it's an overlay. Uses no data; well behaved.

One of the reasons I'm not going to Q. I have a couple overlay apps that work well and I use.
The added "security" is a bad joke at a high cost to functionality.

Part, if not all of that, is a Samsung limitation, the app I'm using, DTSO, is similar to the one you referenced, it's an overlay/widget & it works just fine on my stock/unrooted OnePlus 7 Pro & it's running Android 10/Q.
The DTSO app never worked properly pre-dating Android 10 on any Samsung devices I've owned, & I tried other similar apps & the same results.
Regardless, it's a head-scratcher as to why Samsung doesn't build in the functionality, a la LG, perhaps it's a Knox thing limiting it, IDK......

Another option is One Handed Operation Plus. You can set gesture control screen off and much more. I wuv this apk. Up to 6 different discreet switch zones and up to 6 switches per zone. Very low power consumption and reliable. Perfect companion to fill in those unused curve screen zones, a brilliant apk.

Since I'm not using a screen lock the double tap on/off is great. Samsung marketing is like a box of rabid gerbils; absurd and unpredictable.
However when it comes to unrooted phone customization, Samsung is hands down the best.
A plain Jane Apple would bore me to death...

The long stroke gestures aren't as reliable.
Useful for Apks that get inadvertently triggered like flashlight, ha-ha.
Occasionally it gets triggered when cut and pasting but it integrates in pretty well. Adjusting the zone size and placement can help prevent this.
Plus you can have the touch zone indicator any color or transparency setting you like or none al all.
Great touch for custom themes.
Making use of the customization Samsung apps takes the Note 10+ to a completely new level.
Outstanding... and very resource/battery friendly.
I owned Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro before, which also has an on-screen fingerprint reader. One very neat feature of it was that you could just press your finger on where the reader is when the screen is off -- the phone springs up already unlocked.
On P6P I need to either press a button or tap first to turn the screen on. Only then can I press the finger to scan.
Is this configurable somewhere or maybe moddable?
The phone should awake automatically, once you grab the phone - as long as you have AoD enabled.
My use case is often to unlock the phone just lying on the table without grabbing or moving it. It indeed reacts to me when grabbing, but it would be nice to just press on the sensor and have it unlocked.

Again, as long as you have AoD enabled, the phone will wake the FP the moment you touch the sensor. I just tried it out a couple of times myself. The phone is lying flat on it's back, AoD is on (FP symbol is active above the battery % at the bottom) and I just lay my finger on the scanner and it unlocks, without having to move the phone, take it in my hand or anything like that.

Even with AOD off you can select tap to check under gestures and a slight tap will wake the phone for the FPR.
Sorry, you are right -- I didn't have AoD enabled before (I messed up what AoD means ). Still, this is not quite the same feature I used to have:
* AoD drains battery and I don't like the screen being always on;
* Tap to Check works, but you need to do this additional tap (then up the finger and press on the reader). Just placing your finger on top of fingerprint reader and having the phone unlocked was more convenient. It's also kinda slow -- if you just quickly tap and then place your finger on the reader, it often won't work (the screen won't light up or the reader won't start).
Guess there's no such functionality at the moment, so I'll continue using Tap to Check.

You could use AODNotify, which, besides giving useful notification features since we don't have a notification light on this P6P, also has two options, and I use both: 1) To completely minimize AOD, so it at minimum doesn't show as much on the screen, and 2) there's an option in AODNotify you can enable with ADB for an experimental low power mode, which effectively turns off AOD unless there's a notification that activates AODNotify.
I use it this way and I use the fingerprint reader with the screen completely off all the time.
There are other but potentially more complex solutions others have used here regarding automation apps like Tasker. If you search the P6P section for mentions of Tasker, then you'd probably find details reasonably fast if you were interested in going down that road.
AOD uses 6% battery for me over the course of 24 hrs. To me the convenience of the notifications and FPS make this more than reasonable.
Unless you have an unreliable electricity supply and you have to meticulously control your battery I can't see it having any meaningful impact.

Is there a thread or group for AODNotify to ask questions so I don't go OT here? I just installed it and I like it so far. Obviously I'll have to pay for it once I decide to keep it but the adb commands you speak of, is there a way to turn them off if you decide to? And when you say AOD minimal on screen, what do you mean? Ok so I went OT for a bit.

AODNotify Settings / General / at the top choose "Don't show", and at the bottom, after you do the necessary ADB command, choose "Power saving mode".
OP originally asked if there's a way to have the fingerprint scanner function while the screen is off, and that's till what I want. Is that possible? I don't like AOD or pick up to wake or tap to wake, I like my screen to be off and then I like it to be unlocked and I don't like anything in between, or any delay in unlocking that can be avoided.

OP originally asked if there's a way to have the fingerprint scanner function while the screen is off, and that's till what I want. Is that possible? I don't like AOD or pick up to wake or tap to wake, I like my screen to be off and then I like it to be unlocked and I don't like anything in between, or any delay in unlocking that can be avoided.

With AODNotify's options enabled, the screen is fully off and then when I use the fingerprint reader - obviously the reader area of the screen lights up because it needs to, but then it goes directly to unlocked.

Play Store. For me, the second search result from the left is the one for the Pixel (the first one on the left is for Samsung). Good luck!
There is also a thread for AODNotify for Pixel by the devleoper in this section.
