Hi devs!
Since i have this phone iam searching the function for double-tap to wake-up feature.
Esp, cause the previous models had this feature.
I've been through a few launchers and a few apps, but it seems with a fingerprint-sensor this feature has become unavailable?
Any people here managed to double-tap to wake-up their device?
Thanks in advance!

Sorry to say but that incredibly useful feature is missing from the XZ1c. It's not just a software thing, I believe it's missing at a hardware level. So either the screen is different or the kernel doesn't support it.
Wave up is a way of opening and closing the screen and has had some good reviews from XDA members.
Thanks for your reply.
Let's see if i can get used to this and finetune it a little.

I'm giving a shot myself with this app... It seems working great... Only doubt of course is the battery draining... Let's see after a few days of testing...
P. S. So Wave Up is for the waving hands thing... What about double tap to wake?

Double tap to wake likely needs lower level support that isn't possible with a mere app.
BTW, I've been using the Wave Up app for months, did not notice any battery drain.
I personally love the wake screen after removing from pocket feature, it works like a charm and so handy to have. I now wonder how I lived for so long without it.
Also, you don't need to actually wave your whole hand, just flick a finger 2 or 3 times over the sensor area and boom. Although I'd still prefer DTTW, it's a great compromise.

Yeah, I saw WaveUp recommended on XDA too and used it after trying and disliking Gravity Screen. It's been fantastic, and I actually don't notice a lot of battery drain from it either. I sometimes end up double-tapping the proximity sensor. That generally works pretty well. Sometimes even better than waving.
Just a little update about WaveUp.
Definitely, a must have for XZ1 Compact owners. ?????????????????. After a few days of testing I can confirm it has almost zero impact to battery (I can't notice any difference, in fact it doesnt even shown on Setting's Battery usage) but once u use it... U can't stay without it anymore!
I really i don't understand why Sony didn't include this functionality out of the box...
I am using Gravity Screen to wake my phone using the proximity sensor, but I noticed it keeps the sensor ON all the time even when the phone is locked. I think this is what WaveUp do as well. I'm kind of concerned with the sensor being awake all the time that it might affect the lifespan of the sensor and get damaged fast. I hope SONY put back that double tap to wake.
Hello, is there any app that turn on display when new notification is arriving?
WaveUp is really good!
Thanks to everybody for the suggestion!

Might be a late reply, but an app called Glimpse Notifications does exactly what you want.
Update: WaveUp works, but can be annoying when cleaning the screen.

They do it on purpose, they always take something away and then put it back in the next model. But the next model will miss a different detail, and so on ...

Hello app developers,
After seeing MeeGo video demonstrations on Nokia N9, only feature i miss in my HD2 WP7 Mango is the Double tap on the screen to wake up/unlock.
I accept that the hardware buttons on the HD2 are good, but still this feature and SWkey app/Zmooth (as in android) will eliminate use of hardware buttons.
I did ask that developers should try to build apps for this!
It's cool feature I guess!

I played with the N9 recently, and found it to be very cool and well designed. The best part for me is the double tap to unlock. I wonder whether such thing could be developed for our HD2?
I would think no, since the N9 uses AMOLED which means that the whole screen could be active without using any power, and thus the screen would still be 'active'. Is there a way to do so with HD2? Maybe use the proximity sensor to register movement and turn screen on.
Any opinions?

I dont think such thing would be available. I doubt it.
Even if (somehow) it was available, it would be a huge battery consumer.
people have had enough problems with the phone waking up in their pockets, sending texts, making calls, playing music and taking pictures all without you knowing. Even with the lockscreen password protected.
Making it easier to do this seems to me to be a bad idea
Just reading a doc and screen went to sleep. Few days ago read about apple patent involving zooming a page based on proximity of users face to screen...
Given android does face unlock as is, it is not a small leap for it to detect that my mug is peering at the screen and so prevent the device from going to sleep in mid-read. Conversely and optionally, if I 'look away' or no face detected power off the screen.
Seems doable in an app easy enough, but os wide would be ideal. or did fruity folk patent that too?
Just a thought as my screen went off reading a spreadsheet...
Edit: It would only have to check for a 'face' at the instance the device would normally go to sleep (after usual x amount of time with no touch input), so camera would only be active for a second, so not a resource hog.
I like it . I want it. My device should know I am reading and not shut the screen off.

Samsung has what you are talking about. It uses proximity sensor and camera from what i understand.. But it works about as good as a light sensor. And uses battery . Had it on note 10.1 Check out the specs on samsung site ..
it Takes what 1/10th of a second to hit the power button or just turn it to NOT SLeep. Adding to much to a device is just something else to fail..
But nice thought .

It's actually very useful I have it on my SGS3 the Nexus 7 could have used it its a pain when you're reading that the Flippin screen doesn't always shut off
from my SGS3 while my nexus 7 rests
There is an app that does something like this, i think it was even featured here in a video on XDA. I'll update this post when i find it... hopefully it will be what you're looking for. Blanking on the name atm tho, but i have a friend who uses it..
Update: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keyes.screebl.full&hl=en
Not sure but maybe it will help. It doesn't use face unlock i don't think, but uses the accelerometer.There is also a free lite version.
My thought was that in the seconds before device normally switches screen off, Camera or sensor is activated, checks if there is anyone there, and if so prevents sleep. V little resource required if done properly. Could be active only for same duration as a face unlock, possibly quicker as only detecting A face not recognising your face.
Seemed like something's that should have cropped up before, will check out app too cheers.

Fantastic app... I use the free one and use Androids option to hide the notification icon and it works flawless... Gonna buy it soon
Is there a way to turn off the flicky wrist screen on thing on my G watch R? I use the "always-on screen" feature and dont need the display to light up fully every time i look at the watch....!

If you mute it, it turns that off. But then it is muted so I do not know if that is any good to you.

Most people seem to be using always on. Why? if you list your hand to look it comes on. It will make the battery last for a shorter time and what about screen burn? I may just be overthinking this.

ive done some playing around with screen always on / off and it really doesnt seem to make that much difference to battery 6:30am - 10:30pm and i have 50% battery left with screen always on. u might be able to get a few more % having it off but i didnt notice much difference in testing.
not sure about screen burn tho...

I am worried about the screen burn-in issue. The phone based on the same P-OLED display technology G Flex suffers from this problem. I can see that the quality of GWaR's panel is improved but the burn in problem should exist as long as it's oled.
Another small thing I noticed is when you use stock watch faces, their always on screen content will randomly shift a little every minute, to avoid screen burn(so LG is aware of this problem). Thus worrying about the screen burn is not over-thinking. I turned off the always-on function when I use 3rd party watch faces. (EDIT: 3rd-party watch faces can shift itself too, seems like it's a system-wide screen saving mechanism)

yes, it is - the Samsung Gear Live has the same feature - lets hope it helps in the long run...

This is doing my head in, whats the point in an always on ambient mode, if the bloody thing turns on every time i move my arm. Pointless.
And mute it to stop it, then makes wearing it pointless?
This needs to be addressed asap!

LOL I think you misunderstood my post. I am in 100% agreement with both of you in that we need to be able to disable the "auto on" behavior without muting notifications.

Just got my watch yesterday and this is also making me crazy... That's why I came to the forum in the first place. We need a setting to turn off the wake up movement gesture
Same thing here, it should be a fundamental control to turn this feature off. I'm a little worried about battery life on mine too, for some reason I'm just barely squeaking 24 hours on a full charge with no more than 12 notifications per day???
Patience my friends. Apparently there is a new update on the way, some lollipop for wear which has this much needed feature implemented.

Are you referring to "Theater Mode"? That turns the screen off. We want the screen to be on but in the dim state.
I'm referring to this:
I'm hoping in future developments/releases we may see some changes with the touch screen/button behaviour. Perhaps this may only come through Kernel Dev or an app (maybe). The issue I have found since owning the watch is accidental activation of the touch screen when on the move, especially when exercising (rain and/or jacket cuffs).
Would love to see touch the screen activated with a press of the button, not the screen itself. This would almost eliminate accidental presses, and inherently reduce battery consumption.
Perhaps I'm the only one with this problem? Interested to hear what other LG watch R users think?
Theater mode?

That works well, of course for my exercise app I do have to swipe a couple of times after pressing the button to get to the detail, but this is a good workaround. Thanks
isn't theater mode turning off notifications also?

That's correct and its far from perfect, but at least it stops the accidental touches.
What would be great is screen touch ability after button activation, thus creating a child lock (irrespective of screen on or off) and allowing notifications. Cinema just goes a little too far and turns the screen off which renders quick viewing useless.
I'm hoping in the future this smart watch will be a little smarter.
When I am working out, I never feel/notice notification vibrations.
I usually have on a headset and set the phone to normal volume profile. So I hear the notifications.
With "Vibration Notifier" you still have vibration for notification from app selected. Screen not light up but watch vibrate even in Theater mode.

I did look at this but haven't tried. I've noticed someone else has raised the question on feedback regarding unlocking using the button. I will email the dev and try the app.

TBH I didn't get on well with the app, a nice idea but even with the customisations it got in the way of the watches quick open/view/close plus points.
regarding feedback - I didn't hear anything back, perhaps I will check for updates in the future.
I love the watch but I do feel Android Wear has been rushed.

Thank you for letting us know. Hopefully Google is working on something simillar but more refined as I could see this being very useful. I kind of know what you mean about the rushed feeling, I guess that's the cost for us early adopters.
When I first customized my OP5 settings under OOS 4.5.0 (before the last two OTAs) there was a "Proximity Wake" toggle under "Settings->Display-Ambient display". The feature allowed you to wave your hand near the OP5 and the display lit up briefly so you could see the lock screen. See "How to Enable Proximity Wake" and the accompanying YouTube demo.
Since the first and second OTA that option has been replaced with an "Lift up display" toggle. I'd much rather the proximity Wake feature or better yet, both.
Does anyone know why that feature was replaced? Did it not work reliably?
It's possible it was using too much battery power.
In an effort to save battery the setting was lost on the wayside...

A reasonable assertion but maybe they should've let the functionality be limited to "while on charger" like other battery sucking features. Thanks for your input.
All the Moto phones have this including the the Moto Z play and it has the longest battery life of just about any phone. This a a great feature and one of the reasons I bought a OP5 . Can't believe they just got rid of it.
Maybe if enough people complain it will be put back in by another Ota. One plus do seem to at least listen to the Dev community. ..

Yeah this was a great feature I had on my Nokia 1020, if it was causing battery drain on the OP5 then put an alert when you toggle it that it will have a direct impact on the battery life. Crisis averted then.
Ambient display in general is sort of weird on this phone. It doesn't exactly do what I thought it would. Maybe the removal of this feature is one of the reasons. But with the notification light so dim (maybe this can be altered with a mod or future ROM, I hope), the live display aspect is sort of needed. Is there a post on the OP forums on this yet? Someone should make one.
This is something I really miss from my old Moto
If you are rooted, there is a workaround to have proximity wake enabled. Instructions are provided in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/guide-how-to-enable-ambient-display-t3690488/page4
