Anyone find their double tap less responsive when the phone is in sleep ? I have to give like 4 taps to wake it up but even that not consistent might require more. Works perfectly fine when phone hasn't gone to sleep. Trying to find the exact way it has to be tapped to get it off sleep or whether it is a bug.
Same here, any resolution?

Hi,
Just bought this phone and has same problem. Did you ever managed to find a solution to this problem?
Thanks
Yes, on my phone it's not double tap. It's triple tap. But I've got used to it already. But that's not a fix I know.
---------- Post added at 09:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 AM ----------
Post here please if anyone finds a solution.
Thanks, I found another workaround that worked for me -
I read that this issue is sometimes due to glass screen protectors that confuse the proximity sensor.
I installed a free app called Proximity Sensor Reset from the Play store, that lets you re-calibrate the proximity sensor, no root needed.
For me it did the trick for 99% of the time.

Guys, im the developer of Power Switch, an app that switches off your tablet's screen when you shut the case.
The main thread can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277712
Ive had reports of problems with the tab's light sensor, so would appreciate some debugging feedback.
You can use the lite version to test, it has all the features, but just wont save as much juice.
Thanks in advance. Feel free to reply here or in the main thread, i read both regularly!
Many thanks!, Looks very interesting, will try it out and see how it does with my Tab.
Let me know if the light sensor work properly please!
Got Pro version on my phone, works great.
Will try it on my tab soon.
I'll check it out when i get home.
Works great on my tab too. Thanks mate.
Edit: I noticed on my phone after testing it on and off a few times, the light sensor stopped working. But after rebooting, I havent seen the problem since.
And I've yet to see a problem on my tab.
So the light sensor works? Can you log some sensitivity settings for me so i can fine tune it...

Like in different lighting settings? Like dimming the lights in the room? Or using different Sensitivity %s and closing the case?
Or all of the above?
Oh and after some extensive use on my DroidX, I've been having some problems. It turns off while I'm using the phone even in very lighted surroundings.
---------- Post added at 09:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 AM ----------
I'm at work right now but I tried a few things.
I'm using a Belkin Folio case and i tested to see how low i could set the % for it to read when the case was closed.
Anything under 10% didn't work (even when i completely covered the light sensor with my finger)
On 100%, even a shadow over the sensor would trigger it.
I'll try a few different lighting instances when I get home.
Thats cool, thanks!

Still having issues with it on my DroidX. I've been trying different things but I dont think its user error.
You should be using the proximity sensor, not the light sensor for the phone!

Oh well okay haha.
Its much more efficient...
Actually...to be honest, I dont even need it on my phone because its a habit of mine to hit the power button as im setting it down or putting it in my pocket.
I do love it on my tab though. Makes it easier just being able to close my case instead of trying to find the power button lol.
Can't remove this app from my tab! Help please

Do you have "Enable Power Switch" Checked?
EDIT: If you're using a tablet with a case that covers the screen when you close it, here's what you need...
1. Check "Enable Power Switch"
2. Check "Admin Permissions" (this gives the app permission to lock your screen or turn the tablet off)
3. Check "Enable Sensors"
4. Check "Use Light Sensors" (I recommend 10-20% Sensitivity)
5. Set up your Confirmation and Activation Delay.
---Activation Delay is how long it takes for the device to read if the case is closed or not. (If you set it to 0 seconds, your screen will cut off even if you simply brush something up against the light sensor on accident) I keep mine at 3 seconds.
---Confirmation Delay starts after you Activation Delay ends. It is a confirmation dialogue box that asks what you want to do. Once the timer for it runs out, it will lock your screen/turn the screen off. (I keep mine at 3 seconds for this as well but you might want it longer)
To recap...Set Activation Delay for how long you want the device to wait before it makes a decision if it should turn off your screen or not. Set Confirmation Delay for how long you want it to wait after the Activation Delay ends to actually turn off the screen.
((If you don't have a case that covers the screen and you want it to turn off when you put your tab upside down, replace step 3 with *Check "Acceleration Sensor"* And make sure you Uncheck "Use Light Sensor"))
Whenever I push my power button to pop up my Lock Screen, it usually takes about 1-2 seconds to react. (same with the home button actually - not so fast as the one on the iphone)
I removed the water effect and I also changed the unlocking mechanism to something else but nothing really helps. Still 1-2 seconds before my screen wakes up.
Is there any way to improve this wake up time? My Google Nexus One was faster, my brothers HTC sensation wakes up faster and my friends Galaxy Nexus and HTC one S wake up faster.
I want my Galaxy S3 to wake up faster aswell! Any tricks, tips?
The phone needs to wake up the modem first. It's a design flaw that can be found at least in the Galaxy S and S2, too. I'm not sure if there's a fix
I think this problem existed in earlier Galaxies as well.
All you have to do is to download Softlocker from the market

Do you use the stock launcher?
T.
you have to disable s-voice's double press of home button.
unlock your phone and launch s-voice.
press the left soft key (menu), settings will popup.
below the language untick the "launch s-voice".
that's it.

Unfortunately this is not work for everybody.
Still there is a delay on my phone, this is not rom nor s-voice related, I think this is samsung thing, I hope they give an attention to this wake up delay...

Someone have found any solution?
no, thats the way deep sleep works
hi guys,
im finding this slightly annoying .... made worse by the fact that the previous rom i was running had a fast wake mod, so this makes my current one seem even slower
try blackbox rom 1.3.1 from darksideagent site, and make sure to select fast wake mod in aroma
cheers

as mentioned by @marcel_miller above, softlocker simply disabled deep sleep and now it's just instant lock and unlock.
thanks. for some reason I couldn't find it on market
Hey guys.
Just found this free app on the market. It's mostly for the ppl who are using custom roms that lost the ability to use Auto-on/off when you use a flip cover. This app is able to turn off/on the screen with light and/or proximity sensor. So whenever you close the lid, the light is gone, tablet notices and locks. Hope this works for you.

- It's not my app, just a heads-up.

The app works though it leaves an annoying notification item in the tray. Is there a way to get the magnetic function function back? Would that be something cyanogenmod does or we would have to hax back?
Go to "System settings > Apps > Downloaded > IntelliCover 2.0 and then untick "Show notifications", no more notification icon. Hidden thru Android.
- Well, my Nexus 7 2012 had cover on/off built into the CM and AOKP's.. So I reckon once the devs find a way to do it, it will be implemented. As I have said before, I think that more ppl getting the GPE will help a lot on AOSP builds.. More devs, more source code from LG and so on.. I hope more people will pick up one or the other edition of the tablet over the Holidays. Basically, if the devs could do "teh hax", they would have by now I guess. ^^ I'm sure it will come at some point. I'm not very good at that stuff, so I wouldn't even know where to start, sadly. But it will be doable, I'm sure.
Okay lol, I can't use this in dark rooms and gets over sensitive in other cases but for now it will work fine. Thanks!

Lol, damn. I was wondering if it would mistake darkness for pitch black. :/ Well as you said, better than nothing I guess?
Works fine for me too except in very dark room. In this case, I just have to knock on the screen to wake up and it stay awake but it misss a light calibration.
Moreover, In the app, you can switch off Wifi at the same time the screen is off (and Wifi switch on when screen is on, off course) . It's very useful and battery saver I guess..

There is a calibration process for light senser but I I don't it. It says "put your device in your bag/pocket/cover and press the calibrate button above"
Hey dude, if my device is in my pocket or in its cover, I CAN'T press any button.
I tried to press the calibration button before close the cover but now it doesn't work anymore !
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.

nope, it doesn't have tap to wake
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.

I will try that. Thanks for the info man.
Through testing I have determined that the "phone-going-automatically-to-speakerphone", any time I pull my head more than five inches fro the screen during a call, is due to the proximity sensor. It was not like this before the latest update.
I defeated this by placing a tiny piece of black electrical tape over the proximity sensor.
I would rather just turn the proximity sensor off, or at least turn the "automatically going to speaker phone) function off, but in past requests no one seemed to know how to do that.
So, I am left with just turning off the proximity sensor off.
Anyone know how?
Thanks.

Why did you open a new thread when you had already started this one on the same topic?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/help/v30-automatically-goes-speakerphone-t3886240
My US998 20G (January 2019 security update) does not have that proximity sensor/automatic speakerphone feature.
I would love that feature, because if I need to check something on my phone during a call, I can keep listening/talking to the person on the call. It's actually a feature you can enable on many custom ROMs, like Resurrection Remix.
I'm curious why you do not like it?

You can try this:
Settings/General/Acessability/Vision/Talkback/Settings/Use Proimity Sensor - turn off.
There's also various apps that claim to turn off/disable proximity sensor.
You may be able to enter the H932 hidden menu and turn off the proximity sensor.

See post #1 of the link I included.
The hidden menu has calibration, and other technical features not available to normal people, thus it's called the "hidden menu". Be very careful messing with anything in there, however. One time I screwed up something in there and had to do a Master Reset (got stuck on one LTE band).

That came up when doing Google search for disabling proximity sensor. Some handicapped people need to bring the phone very close to their face without the screen going dark, so that was the suggestion for them on how to turn off proximity sensor. I thought it might work for you also.
What you want to do is very unusual -- turn off proximity sensor to disable a feature only you seem to be complaining about. I'm just trying to give information.
Thank you Chazzmatt! I wasn't trying to seem like I didn't appreciate the help.
For me it doesn't work because I work with my phone and it going automatically into speakerphone ode reveals Private client information to others who may be standing nearby.
But thanks. I figured out how to make it work. I simply places a tiny (one eighth of an inch) piece of black electrical tape over the sensor, and now it's fine.
Thanks again.
