I am using the 'double-tap to wake' functionality and I like it very much. But when a message from WhatsApp is waiting for me, double-tapping the screen does not wake up the phone. I need to use the Power button.
I am using the latest firmware (17.1.2.A.0.314), rooted with locked bootloader. I am using Xposed w/GravityBox and Greenify.
Can someone confirm?
I am not using whattsap but i can say the double tap is somehow weird on this fw
So far the experience for me is always hit and miss. If the phone is deep sleep (meaning it wasn't used for a while) then most of the time I have to use power button to wake it up.
Yes exactly, and i think it was working better on the. 402 fw

For me it's almost the same behaviour throughout any firmwares.
Yep, same here on 402...

Hi!
I'm using a recent CM9 nightly with default kernel.
I would like to have your opinion : about 3/4 a week my SGS3 is "stuck" when it's locked : impossible to wake up using home or power button, the screen stays black.
The weird thing is that when it happens, the phone is not frozen : I can still hear music on the headphones and control volume using Up/Down buttons.
Sometimes I let it stuck and receive a notification some minutes later and the phone magically can be unlocked again, screen wakes when I push Home button.
Very weird and annoying when that happens.
My question is : what do you think it could be? An app? How can I debug this and know what prevents the screen to wake up when that happens?
Thanks.
Wipe and reflash the rom

Thanks, but is that the kind of easy answer you all tell when you don't know the exact answer?
When I installed CM9 a week ago, I did do a full wipe...
I think that next time it happens, I will try to connect my SGS3 on USB and do a adb logcat, maybe I'll find useful information.
Have you tinkered with any of the could settings or voltage settings?

Having a similar problem to yourself. Installed CM9 rom had a play and then went back to omegaV9 performing a full wipe using the instructions on this site before reflashing.
Since then when my phone is locked screen off then i unlock either via swipe or using security code (digits ) it looks like the phone unlocks but sort of does a warm boot with black screen for a few seconds with the two buttons down the bottom light up.
When it starts it looks like all the apps have stopped and are restarting again.
I re flashed again omega 9 thought i had it sorted but it started playing up again this evening.
If anyone has any ideas please post..
Hi, I'm a newbie here. I also exprience this problem with my samsung GT-i9300. I hoping to see a fix with this problem.

Are you saying the vibrations stop working all together?
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I never mentioned vibrations!!!
I should have explained it a little better though
when you make or receive a call and you are on the phone the screen turns off and disables all button presses because the proximity sensor is covered
but even though the display is off and the sensor is covered you can still press buttons whilst on the phone
so far I have tried sending a text
cut people off
muted the phone
put the phone in to airplane mode
added events to my calendar
and more
all this with the side of my face while in a call

For me it's sounds like Proximity sensor of Your Xperia Z2 isn't working. You can test it with apps, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=imoblife.androidsensorbox&hl=ja like this
Proximity sensor works fine the first thing I did was test it
Well.... I can't think about any other reason.... As soon as I find infos I will share

I haven't had it happen since disabling the double tap to wake feature
i don't have double tap enabled and i have the same issue :S
I have tried it with and without double tap to wake and it makes no difference! It's really annoying me now!

Why on earth would you want that ?
And if it's possible, I guess it will drain your battery faster...

As said, if it would be possible...the battery will drain a lot faster as the screen will always be active/the system will perform wakelocks all the time.
But it's a good idea

That's what was generally said about double tap to wake, yet the phones that have this implemented, don't have drastically increased battery consumption because of it.
On the other hand, Samsungs half second delay after pressing home button, to wake after deep sleep (formerly just a "feature" of exynos devices, now with snapdragons as well) , is extremely annoying.
Don't see how would the screen always be active? Rather, the fingerprint sensor would be.

That's what I was thinking if iphones are doing it without any problem and lg is using their knock why can't samsung
I don't believe battery drain would be an issue, but how would you keep the phone in a state to be read?
With double tap to wake and swipe to wake surely the waiting for action state is already developed.
Other possibility could be pressing the home button and sweeping the fi gerprint scanner at the same time to unlock in one motion.

if the screen is off the fingerprint won't unlock and turn the screen off at the moment...... you have to press the home key wait for screen to turn on then swipe

I know. I talk about press (so the screen turns on) AND sweeping the finger at the same time.. This is working for me. I have to do a longer sweepe though.. And i have used all 3 finger setting to the same finger, probably a bit different portion of the finger every time..
Try it.. It works for me. Always unlock with one sweeping and pressing at the same time..
The disadvantage, i can unlock only with one finger.
The problem for me is that i have the home button to wake switched off using wanam exposed module. The phone was active in pocket way too many times.

Hello everybody,
i have a problem with fingerprint and double tap to wake.
i get the problem with stock rom and custom rom (eragon 1.5 now).
i lock my P9000 via button on the right side.
directly after that i can unlock my phone via fingerprint and i can wake up via double tap.
after about 5 mins the fingerprint sensor no longer responds if i put my finger on it.
double tap to wake works only at second or third time.
so i have to unlock my phone via button and pincode -> lock via button on right side -> now i can use fingerprint and double tap to wake.
after 5 min same problem.
does anybody have the same problem? is there a special deep sleep mode or something like that?
Thanks in advance!
(sorry for bad english)
okay double tap to wake works. just need 2-4 seconds to wake up.
but i still have the problem with fingerprint
Yeah I have noticed mine does the same., after 5 mins or thereafter it's just doesn't seem to respond to fingerprint (which is still temperamental anyway) and double tap takes maybe 3-4 times
These are both hit and miss on mine too, shame for a mid range device its pretty close.

yep. if you change it to enforcing it should work (delete/etc/init.d/07permissive script) setenforce0

dont know where "setenforce0" option @ stock rom is.
with eragon 1.5 i renamed 07permissive script (sets setenforce 0) in 07permissive_old and it works very well for me.
now im very happy with my p9000

Hello,
I want to buy this phone, and I was wondering if you can tap into the screen to wake the phone.
I have no problem to root the phone and to download custom rom if it has the feature.

The fingerprint scanner is an always on one, so when you are holding the phone you just need to touch it to unlock the phone. The only time that dttw would be nice is when the phone is flat on a desk.
lol! use the fp scanner to wake the phone? works once or twice in every hundred attempts
Thanks for the replies.
I spend many hours working at a desk , so the FP sensor will be annoying to use all the time.
From what I have also read on this forum , the FP sensor doesn't always working. Despite how simple this problem, I think this may be a deal breaker for me.
Maybe you can get this functionality with xposed.
You can find a lot of videos in YouTube with double tap to wake and double tap to sleep.
