Double Tap To Sleep Not Working

This new feature on 6.0.1 does not work on my phone, despite several restarts, safe mode activation, etc. Will not do software repair for now- too much hassle.
Am I the only user who has this problem? Seemed like a nice idea: after double tap to wake, now double tap to sleep!

Are you using the Home launcher?
This was a Concept feature, I'm not sure if it was in the full release. But, if it did, you need to double-tap on an empty area of the homescreen in Home.

I am sure it's a final release feature: the option to toggle it on or off appeared in my home screen settings menu after downloading 6.0.1.
And yes, I know how to activate it: double tap empty space on home screen.
Any Z3 Compact owner reading this whose double tap to sleep works?

Tap To Sleep in 6.0.1: Issue Solved
Just figured it out: while in "tap to wake" I can use many different intervals (i.e. time between the two taps) to activate the function, "tap to sleep" will only accept a precise interval to work: if I double tap just 50 milliseconds too fast or too slow, it will not work.

Well, I suppose that makes sense. Must be frustrating to get that timing right, though..

HI, you need to long press on your home screen and then you get it selected with everything what's there. When you see this that you an remove or add items to your home screen there will be either a setting icon or a plus icon on the bottom that you need to click on. This will show a menu where if you scroll down will give you the option to activate "double tap to sleep" feature. Sony could have put the double tap to wake up and sleep mode in one place ……

Double tap to wake?

Hi
P9 plus has Double tap to wake feature ?

no

no, there isn't double tap to wake the screen.

Disappointed !
huawei should pay attention to this feature.
I dont have to rise up the mobile each minute if its on table to use back fingerprint sensor access

u can just push powerbutton on the side.

Even in double tap to wake you have to go through the password/finger print.
You can install "Glance Plus" on playstore for always on feature.

this is why i think LG's knock code is genius -- it's an alternative to the traditional PIN lock or pattern lock, and it's great for when the phone is lying on a table (meaning fingerprint sensor is inaccessible). Tap code lets you unlock phone with a sequence of taps anywhere on the screen, and because you begin tapping with screen off, and you don't really have to look at the screen when you tap, etc, I find that tap code lets me unlock a full second or more than unlocking with PIN.
of course, for phones with fingerprint sensor on the front, this wouldn't be necessary, but i wish all phones with rear fingerprint sensor would steal this feature.

Probably copy right issues involved in getting lg style unclock.
I tried the "KnockOn" app on google play. Working fine so far, although ofcourse will have to still go through the password screen. Have to enable all permissions and also allow app from accessibility settings.

You can make the autolock for 5 or 10 min so you don't need to unlock it with password in this period of time just double tape .
Get the point !

Question: is it true that "knuckle gestures" work when the screen is off, too?
This feature could well overtake the double tap deal in my humble opinion.

Fingerprint Scanner: A home button?

Good day! I'm curious if the fingerprint scanner defaults as the home button when on-screen navigation bar is enables?
I'm on VTR-L29C636B171 right now and I did not notice this on VTR-L29C636B166

I'm on B171 of the dual sim model and for me the fingerprint reader is completely disabled and acts just like a fingerprint reader. However I have noticed that the reader acts like a home button when the screen is off and password/pin disabled.

The sensor is P10s biggest feature besides the camera but it works only as Homebutton when the Navbar is disabled...but why would someone enable the Navbar when the sensor works so awesomely perfect?

One tap takes you one step back, long tap takes you to home screen and a swipe to left or right gives you multi tasking option. Hope that helps

Any way to disable the fingerprint button when using software navigation keys?

As the topic says, I find it annoying that the fingerprint reader still works as a home button when on screen software buttons are used. I tend to accidentally touch it when in landscape mode, or when reaching to hit the back button.
Wouldn't it be nice to have it act purely as a fingerprint reader and nothing else in this mode?

Any news on this issue? After the latest update the button even acts as home button when trying to add fingerprint in apps (ex. PayPal) . So instead of adding the fingerprint, the program exits ;-(

I wish there were a way to just have it as a fingerprint reader when navigation bar is active. It gets real messy when you enable app lock and have to use it to unlock the app but it's also a home button so the app closes as soon as it is unlocked.

Totally agree on this one it pisses me off lol.
I keep pressing it by accident lol..

Didn't gaming mode offer hardware button disabling? Might be able to be extended to software.
With that in mind how would you get out of a non responsive app?

Screen off app

Hello!
My cousin has bought a brand new Sony XZ3.
She was used to use a screen off app. Simply press and the screen go off.
Now is not possible to use, because when the screen goes off, at the next screen on the fingerprint doesn't work, is required to insert the pin code.
It is an Android 9 limitation or is there an app that can screen off and use fingerprint at next screen on?
Thank you

If you install nova launcher, you can configure it so that with a double touch on the screen, it turns off and then you can turn it on with the fingerprint.

You can use Fluid Navigation Gestures and map one of the gesture to a "turn off lock screen" action as Nova as mentioned above will only achieve that from the home screen as opposed from anywhere with FNG ?
