tap to wake ?

Is there something similar to tap to wake ?

I use gravity screen, works well enough.

True tap to wake requires hardware that supports it. The Fire does not seem to support it.

Note, gravity screen does not support any kind of tap to wake, nor the absent proximity sensor in the fire. It just uses the accelerometer to detect a change in orientation to wake the screen. I haven't really tested battery life before the app, so I can't really say how much it drains. Just that it works beautifully, I pick up the tab and the screen wakes, no need to hit the power button.
Now if there was only some way to disable the lock screen altogether...

my lock screen is disabled i am on cm12.
I will try gravity screen , thanks

Gravity Screen is a godsend. Battery drain in minimal with proximity sensors, might be more triggering off accelerometer. Actually improved battery performance on my mobile as it also blanks the screen when pocketing the phone. I rarely use the physical power button now except to reboot.

screen wake up

Hi,
Im wondering if there is any option to wake up screen when locked other than using sleep button , i mean something like double tap the screen or touching the finger print sensor...
Thanks

Latter works.

Inset up pick up to wake and face recognition swipe to unlock. So whenever I pick up the phone I see the notifications and can swipe them away without unlocking the phone.

Awesome

Missing the rear Fingerprint scanner on the OnePlus 6 (to many click to access)

Simply put I miss my rear finger print scanner, the front is neat, but not as convenient, first I have to double tap to wake and then scan often that is way more effort than a finger, second I have to stretch my hand to get a finger to the right spot on the phone, while the rear was easy to access when holding.
I can get use to the location, but not all the extra tapping to unlock it should not required double tap to wake and then a scan that is at least 3 actions, now say 30% of the time the phone wakes when I remove it from the case so only 1 action, but that is only 30% of the time. The fingerprint needs to be always on, the phone can recognize a 0 when the screen is off, why not a touch on the fingerprint scanner?
Any suggestions to improve this?

Change double tap to single tap and turn on Pick up your phone to show in Ambient display.

yeah, the "Pick up to show Ambient Display" is amazing, you don't even have to tap the screen to wake. Also I like the front fingerprint better since I can just unlock it while the phone is lying on the table, no need to pick it up to unlock.

I missed my finger print reader for about 2 days. Now it's just as easy and better in many cases IMO. The wake suggestions above are the way to go.

Agree. The "pick up your phone to show" and the single tap to wake feature work great. When I pull the phone out of my pocket, it is already lit up and ready for my finger. If it is already out, I can just tilt the phone up or single tap to get the fingerprint sensor ready. Those are under settings/display/ambient display.
Another handy feature is double tap to lock.

Buy a Google Pixel 3xl?

Asus doing something behind "my" back

So story cut short. I dont use my power buttons. Thus i depend on double tap to sleep a lot. And i use Nova Launcher's double tap to sleep gesture. Worked fine with fingerprint unlock ever since i got my ROGPHONE 2 until a few moments ago.
When i double tapped the pop up which says Accessibility or Device Admin showed up. Then double tap to sleep doesnt work.
So i rebooted my phone and now it works as usual. Just wierd that it could suddenly not work.

Any way to switch from tap to wake to double tap to wake ?

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).
