I'm still on a Tmobile Note 8 and just got the One UI update today and was so disappointed to find that it doesn't have the 'double tap to wake' feature. I always thought this update would bring this feature. As I walked into a Tmobile store couple weeks ago and confirmed this feature was on a S10 so I thought this update would do it. Anyway, just wanted to know if any of you Note 9 owners who have the One UI update have this feature? if so, that would be awesome, and will get a Note 9 soon; if not, hmmm don't know, will just keep using my Note 8, thanks!!

ok thanks for the info! darn. ahhhh!!
Honest question, why would you need that when there's the soft, pressure-sensitive home button? Doesn't it do the same thing, with one less tap?
because when I'm driving, I could easily wake it up by tapping anywhere on the screen. it's not that simple finding the home screen button when you are driving now that there's no hardware button. I know I shouldn't be touching the phone at all but at times there's still a need to. sure, I can unlock it with google and do some things (and bixby I think but haven't try it yet), but it's not the same as google is waiting for me to tell it to do something.

I bet a front facing FP comes in handy when driving and phone is on a mount.

do these usually work by pressing anywhere on the screen, or needs to press in a certain section of the screen?

I see. I personally don't think it's tricky to press on the soft home button while driving (it's not that fussy about where you tap), but I use Android Auto while driving so my screen is always on anyway.
Guys, please don't use your phones while you drive.?

OP, you could try decreasing sensitivity of the button. Feels just like tapping plus having a dedicated area.
I'd your use case is while driving, a recommend turning on 'Skip Lock Screen' and adding your car's Bluetooth to trusted devices. This way, you need only a tap on the button and you can go directly to the home screen surpassing your lock screen and the need to scan fingerprint.
Also, did you know you can double tap any notification to wake screen. Enabling 'Skip Lock Screen' as mentioned above will route you to the app directly when you double tap it.
Hope this helps.

Coming from a OnePlus 3T, I do miss DT2W as well. Sitting in a meeting, in a bus, on a plane or in the car - you never have to "search for the right spot", you can just tap on the (dark) screen in order to wake it up.
I really miss it. Once you get used to it, you´re lost.
Hi. There is Fast Wake (not sure about translation, i have another language) by Double Tap options in Accessiblility menu.

Is tap to wake screen missing on Oreo? I don't see it in the normal place in the Display settings.
I think it is just missing from the phone and/or in a different spot.
A review notes that Oreo can come with double tap to wake:
http://www.gsmarena.com/android_80_oreo-review-1653p2.php (scroll to last paragraph)
Sony decided to not implement double tap to wake and sleep since XZs and XZ Premium, and recently released XZ1/XZ1 Compact phones follows that trend.
No idea why, it's such a useful feature.
People who don't like/use it can just not enable it, no need to remove the feature that's been a part of their phones since Z2 or Z3 I believe.
This is one of the best features, coupled with double tap to sleep. Useful when you sit your phone on a desk and you don't want to press the power button.
Shame they don't have it anymore.
I guess it's related to the finger print sensor, but agreed, should let people decide. I turned mine off on my Z3C as it kept going off in my pocket.
Damn, that's garbage. I love tap to wake.
Well whatever isn't on stock, a rom will eventually solve, right? That's why we're here.

I'm genuinely curious, why would the fingerprint sensor be related? Double tap to sleep/wake has always worked flawlessly on my Z5C, and so has the fingerprint sensor.
No idea - but I can't see why else they'd disable it apart from some sort of "user experience" rubbish.
Im probably going to return my XZ1 Compact because this tap to wake was used heavily for me whilst at work where i have gloves on. Being able to tap the screen on my Z5C to see my notifications without having to remove my gloves to use Fingerprint made things so much easier. I know they have glove mode, but i really dont like using it, especially when i have stuff on my gloves i dont want all over the screen.
Well done sony, even android Oreo is meant to include this feature, so not only do they remove a Sony festure its users love, they block it out of Android OS also.
Have you tried contacting Sony Support? There is a possibility that it was an oversight or a bug and they'll fix it.
Any updates on this? Any chance this feature could be re-enabled by the experts on here. This is honestly what's holding me up from buying this phone.
Have you already contacted Sony about this?

There's no way this was an oversight. It must've been a deliberate decision for some reason.

Yes and they say on their website it isn't supported on this phone, which is why I was hoping someone here could change that, just as they have re-enabled the fingerprint sensor in another thread.
So, I was playing with Nova Launcher to have at least the double tap to sleep. It works. But the problem is that when I wake up the xperia, I have to swipe the gesture password, touch id is not enough. Of course, no way I do that every time I unlock the screen! Has anybody found any other solution for that?

OK thank God, that actually solved the problem. Well at least I have double tap to sleep. I only hope the lack of double tap to wake is just a software limit and the device is hardware capable of doing it and we will be able to enable it in the future, maybe with root...
How lucky it worked. if we hope that waking up with two tap is enabled soon, it is very necessary
For those that need a temporary alternative, look up Gravity Screen https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenofffree&hl=en and turn off all the features (uncheck boxes or slider to 0) except for "Turn Screen ON by Proximity". This will wake up the phone to lockscreen every time the proximity sensor goes from something nearby to nothing. so you can tap the proximity sensor to wake the phone, or it will wake up by itself when you take out of pocket.
I find the ability to pin a screen off memo to the AOD very useful, cause I get quite busy at work and tend to forget to follow up with things, and this kind of forces me to see it. However, screen off memo seems a little finicky in terms of how long it stays up for, making sure my screen is actually locked when I pull out the pen, etc. Sometimes if I have the phone already on and I want to pin a note, I have to lock it, put the pen in, then pull the pen back out just to get screen off memo to activate.
Is there a way to just pin any note I make in samsung notes to the AOD? This would be a lot more usable in many situations.
I also am looking for a solution to this. My scenario is very similar to yours.
The closest option I could find was pinning a note to the home screen.
I am hoping this is just a minor oversight by Samsung and the function may be added in something like "SmartLock"

Activate screen off memo by locking screen while spen is out and double tapping it by spen button pressed.
Always worked for me. No need to reinsert spen.
Neat feature to add multiple screen off memos too.

It one click of the spen button if your spen is already out and you turn off the screen. Make sure the spen is hovering over the screen or it will just try to unlock your phone.

This works. Also, if you already have a pinned note, it can be edited by just tapping the note with the s pen.
On my old s8 when the screen was locked I'd press the bottom of the screen where the home button is to wake the phone up
My s10plus this is not the case and infact I have to press to side button/on off button to wake the screen
Is this correct
You could just double tap the screen
You can "tap to wake" or "lift to wake" or use your fingerprint or press the power button or "always on display"

Most consider it one of their better decisions. It was archaic and I would hate to carry a phone with one. My wife's J7 has one and she hates the phone for that one reason. LOL, I like her phone for one other reason, a removable battery.

Hello, really new to this thread. My Mi 8 is about 2 weeks old. So recently I noticed that the home button gesture doesn't work sometimes. I have to repeatedly swipe up from the bottom of the screen for it to work...also when pressing something close to the status bar seems to trigger the status bar opening animation. This happens only every now and then then. I'm on stock global rom everything locked nothing tinkered with at all. Anyone experiencing the same thing?

You mean using the gesture settings, when you swipe from the bottom it will not go home (takes multiple tries)? If so, do you have a case or screen protector installed? The way you're supposed to swipe is pretty much from outside of the actual display, upwards, so if there is something interfering with this, or you're swiping from in the display, it may not work.
If not, then try using a touch screen test app such as Touch Screen Test from Google Play (developed by Siriuth). Touch the bottom area multiple times (swipe down, left, right, but not up as this may send you to the home screen of course). Swipe slowly to see the path properly. Does it skip at any section? If it does, touch in that area may be damaged. If this phone was purchased used or from a 3rd party seller, this may be why it is damaged.

Just tried it... Everything seems fine. But still sometimes it tends to require several tries for the gesture to actually register. I'm on global 10.2.3.0, could be a miui bug since this version is not the best. Also has battery drain problems. Could be fixed in the next update.

That's very odd. Does the oleophobic coating in that area feel worn or anything? Does the friction feel high? Mine never fails, not even to open the multitasker. Do you have "Double Check for Gestures" enabled? Try turning this off perhaps? The battery drain I definitely agree. I went from 7 hrs of SOT to less than 5.

I use a widget called screen tap to lock or something or another for the double tap to sleep on any launcher. Have been using it for a while across a few phones. However when I got the S10 I just started using face unlock due to this slow and clunky FP sensor.....but I've discovered this issue where double tap to sleep with face unlock on makes the phone immediately wake back up to the lock screen for a second unlike pressing the power button which acts correctly. I tested it out on nova's built in settings without the widget (which I was using on one UI launcher) and it does the same thing so obviously it's some sort of conflict with face unlock and double tap to sleep. Anyone know why?

Wait, slow and clunky? Maybe off topic but mine is extremely consistent after they fixed it like 4 months ago. Maybe relearn prints and make sure you get the whole thumb scanned.
Also I have double tap to sleep setup on Nova using accessibility as screen lock method and tried your scenario with face unlock enabled, but did not encounter your issue on Android 10

Oh, I'm on cricket in the US , so still stuck on 9 (with no hope in sight for 10 lol). I've deleted them and reset them a few times now and idk it's just not as fast as I'm used to with capacitive ones, there's an extra second, even compared to the one in the OnePlus 7t I was using for a few days , it cannot compete. It works a lot better if you press hard and firm I guess, but again I'm not used to that. But yeah idk why it's doing that, did it to me on Nova too if I use double tap to sleep at all it immediately opens back up to the lock screen. I don't think it's looking for my face in that scenario either because it doesn't face unlock when it does it, but it definitely IS happening because of the face unlock because it doesn't happen if I turn it off altogether and use the double tap to sleep......if I press the power button to turn the screen off this does not happen.
