Since I had a replacement for my bootlooped LG G4 H811. After recieving my refurb device I had this problem with double Tap to Wake and the view Glance feature. What really frustrate me is now it will or will not wake with double taping many times, view glance wont work but what is worst. Since probably the sensor is broken it will wake up randomly just laying on the table and any random touch or swipe on the screen would wake it. So battery usually drain while it will just turn on in my pocket.
I'm soooo sad and gave up after testing I can only just confirm it is a faulty Hardware.
My warranty is out. I really don't want to go through it again.( I might get a more faulty device ).
What i really need help with now is : How to disable all features that has any connection to waking the device or any other action that interacts with the screen while off?
I already have turned off the double tap feature using the quickshortcutmaker but still glance view feature is still on which is probably the reason for it to still wake up on the same conditions mentioned up.
I had tried CM ROMs while it only support double tap to wake disabling it from settings will save it from waking up.
But what I need is to fix the problem while on the stock software. For many reasons like having the LG stock Camera App. and a stable OS.
I have limited knowledge, but ithink i need to change settings in the firmware or maybe the kernel . Maybe using Xposed. but I really have no idea how to use any.
Please someone help me. I will really appreciate it.
Hey xda, just wanted to report, but I'm not sure if this is the right place...
Anyway, for me anyways, it seems that having 2) options on at the same time kinda conflict with each other and cause the screen to be unresponsive.
1)turn on screen @pickup and 2) screen attention. I guess it could also include 3(double tap to wake, I don't know.
What I noticed was, if I kept double tap to wake and pick up to wake minus screen attention ; unlock with fingerprint and in general screen responsiveness was just perfect.
Hope someone finds this to be useful.. take care

Hi there,
Tap to wake is a neat feature but I find myself waking up my phone too often by mistake, so I tried to figure out a way to get the old double tap to wake back, but couldn't find out how.
I guess it must be implemented into custom kernel ?
Any advice would be appreciated !
Same, I had to turn this off b/c my phone kept waking in my pocket and changing songs.
I noticed too sometimes my phone wakes up in y pocket, coming from OnePlus it surprised me cause I'm used to have pocket mode. Hope there will be a workaround later.
I replaced the Pixel Launcher with Nova Launcher. Light years better. While there is no double tap to wake, you can double tap to lock the screen then just use the fingerprint reader to unlock the screen. Since owning the OG Droid long ago it seems, I have yet to find a home launcher better than Nova. Worth every penny.
Double Tap - Apps on Google Play
Easy to turn on/off screen without power. Not affected to unlock by fingerprint
play.google.com
Works perfectly on Pie.
As for Q...? Give Google time and they will screw up anything and everything.
I use NovaLauncher too and all my devices for years now. I love it.
But that's not what me and OP are complaining about. We want to double-tap the screen while the phone is laying a table and have it wake up to lock screen. Picking it up and using the fingerprint sensor on back doesn't help.
Lift to Wake works, but you have too, duh, lift it to wake it. We want the double tap for our fingers, but not erroneous dbl tap detections when phone is moving around in pocket or in my hand.
I can't tell you how many times music player skipped forward or back b/c or incorrect dbl taps, waking, and then more taps from my pocket contents or whatever.
I'm using OnePlus launcher port as I'm used to it (and I love the gesture to access hidden apps from app drawer, asking for fingerprint).
And I'm happy with it, I use Gravity box so I can turn the screen with double tap on status bar.
For now I disabled tap to wake, and I use tasker to turn on always on when there's an incoming notification, so that I don't have to wake my screen just to check if there's something new.
I'm confident someone will give us a custom kernel allowing double tap to wake someday !
Seems like there's something wrong with proximity sensor, I noticed that after trying to play with proximity sensor in tasker, it always return 5cm.
Updating to February build did not solve the issue, that could be the reason why there's no pocket mode.
Anybody else with this problem ? (There are several apps that can read sensors and check for proximity one.)
Did anyone ever figure this out. I really like the double tap to wake so I just tap my phone while it sits on table to wake. I never had an issues w/tapping to wake before (LG v35, etc) and I now realize why it is a huge problem for myt 4A 5G -- stupid Google make it tap to wake, not double tap. For me, this cause constant waking and then irritating unwanted activity (music changing, podcasts stopping) while my phone is still in my pocket. Arrrrg.

If your phone wakes up in your pocket, you must have a problem with proximity sensor, i had to remove my screen protector because of that, and now, no more accidental wake up while in the pocket (but i still miss the double tap to wake).
My fingerprint sensor fails a lot, and I sometimes have to put in the pin. I just got the phone, and I had "Double Tap" (to sleep phone) installed. Idk if that messed with it so I closed Double Tap but it's still happening. Is this a known problem? I couldn't find anything on it.
Edit: uninstalled double tap, doesn't seem to happen as much, maybe? I'm going to reinstall double tap and further test. I used double tap on my pixel 3xl for years and never had a problem with the fingerprint sensor. Fingers crossed.
