Hi Guys,
As I've replaced my Oneplus One to a Oneplus 2 and lost the ambient display option again, I'd like to see your opinion. How is it possible that in 2015 I can't tell my phone with the latest stock version of Android to simply turn the screen on for a short while when a notification comes.
I know I can (and actually I do) install 3rd party applications to do that but why isn't it in the stock version? What's Google's point of view about that? AFAIK the iPhones have always had this feature.
Thank you!
Is it possible to add in this device?
Rom/Kernel?
Coming from a LG, I really like the phone (and need the dual sim), but I drive a lot and I it's so useful de double tap to wake/sleep
Here is what I found out so far:
The cheap Touchscreen doesn't support it apparently.
Kernel isn't possible as long as Xiaomi don't release the Kernel Source.

You can use Gravity Screen in Google Playstore and use the proximity sensor to wake it up. Tap one or double tap if you want on proximity sensor to the right of the camera to wake it up.
My settings:
Turn SCREEN ON by Proximity ON
Headphone Support ON
Notification ON
Low Priority ON
Start at Boot ON
All other is OFF

Thanks a lot! It seems it works!
Does Mate 10 has the double tap to wake feature?
No and i haven't found a non-root solution for it either.
Wow that's such a shame... The mix and matching of features across these Huawei devices is becoming really frustrating. There's no reason why only the Chinese version of the Mate 9 had this feature.
I don't think you really need a double tap to wake. A simple touch of the fingerprint sensor wakes the phone quickly.
Exactly, that fingerprint scanner is ridiculously fast!
i need double tap to sleep

plenty of 3rd party apps on playstore. No root needed.

For the 10 Pro, that functionality is useful. It's just weird some of the choices made for an otherwise great phone. It's unfortunate.

Copyright issues with LG. But there are 3rd party apps for Samsung that put an icon on Always on display and you just double tap on that icon to wake. I guess its not different to Samsung having a home key always turned on even when screen off. So Huawei should as well implement something similar to have icon on the Always on display and click or hold or whatever is best gesture on that to turn on the screen.
End of the day its still a two step process in the least over the single step process of front fingerprint sensor. The small bezels means no way a front fingerprint could fit there and so there needs to be a long term solution. LG type reliable face unlock feature would help in many scenarios as well and its comparatively easier to partially lift and look at the phone from a desk then double tap and scribble the password.
There is also Huawei's strong security measures to overcome. My current Huawei does not allow using anything other than a pin password for unlock when you have the fingerprint activated. So thats four extra screen taps compared to the Pattern type password (which cannot be used when fingerprint activated).

What app that works with fingerprint without pin
Enviado desde mi ALP-L09 mediante Tapatalk
my ex oneplus 3t has this feature. how only lg has it?
Surely it's obvious this would be useful when the phone is laying on a desk/table (on its back) when the fingerprint sensor is not accessible? Double-tap to wake would be awesome on this device. Just got it, and it's my only (at this stage) gripe.
Same here
I hope some update fix this
Hi Everyone,
Why Huawei didn't activate this function to their high end phone. THIS IS VERY USEFUL.
Anyone, manage to activate this on their rooted mate 10 pro?
Think you posted in the wrong section, only way is to install nova launcher as it works with this

No, nova launcher has no double tap to wake. It has only double tap to sleep. I think you are wrong. If there is, pls guide me and appreciate it much.

Some weeks ago someone hinted at some code in the firmware which was supposed to handle double tap to wake. But there's no confirmation anywhere that Huawei will ever enable or further develop that code, just assumptions.
in Mate 8 forum there is a thread about enabling double tap to wake through some modifications on build prop.
That requires Root but I have no idea if that procedure could be implemented on mate 10

It's probably because of the screen technoligy that's being used.
I thought I'd miss the double tap to wake after coming from a oneplus one but the fingerprint sensor on this phone is so good I haven't looked back, one press and it's unlocked

Yes it really good but it is at the back of the phone.

Yes, the sensor is good, but kind of difficult to access while phone is mounted in a car - double tap to wake would be nice then, I miss it from my OnePlus X.
hello to all.... is possible that even in march update official, for huawei mate pro, is not present double tap to wake? other alternatives drain many battery... i hope a solution in last 4 monthes in this post
my solution
Hello,
As a former LG G2 user I've quickly begun to miss the double tap to wake/sleep | knockon/off function with my Huawei Mate 10 Pro. So after lots of investigations and app trials here's my solution which seems to perform pretty well in my opinion.
After trying many apps I've encountered the so called 'Always on AMOLED | Edge lighting'.
Here's my setup on the mate 10 pro (emui 8.0.0, android 8.0.0, build 8.0.0.157 C432) first:
1) Disable smart cover
2) Disable pick to wake
3) Disable pulse light (it won't work and we'll use app's notification handling which is great in my opinion)
4) Disable always on display information
5) After installing the app (VERY IMPORTANT!):
- Go to ignore battery optimisation in android's settings and add this app to the Allowed list
- Go to battery / launch - then Manage manually the amoled app:
* set to on - auto launch
* set to on - secondary launch
* set to on - run in background
To quickly find the upper settings use the search bar in the settings menu.
Then in the app (v. 2.1.7 tested):
1) I've made a fully black background instead of a clock - upto your flavor
2) Enable the POCKET MODE! This actually saves battery a lot since if proximity sensor is covered the screen is completely shut down. When you sleep/want to save battery place the phone with face down - sounds as no problem to me..
3) Brightness is set to 10 or so - again upto you, the less the better for the battery
For double tap to lock I use a widget placed all over the screens where there are no icons - sounds annoying but once settled it works flawlessly. Here's the widget I use - DTS widget Skynet Software.
To be honest I've found it from this forum.
Share your experience as I might have missed something.
P.S Somehow the power button won't lock the screen now but I don't use it at all anyway, so no problem to me..
P.S.2 I would have bought another LG phone if only they have kept the IR Blaster but that's another story..

Same, I only like double-tap to wake on my phones without fingerprint sensors. On my mate 10 and Xiaomis, whether front or back, I am prone to using the fingerprint sensors, and they bypass the lock screen too.
Of course, it's a nice feature to have that doesn't drain battery, all my phones, except Huawei, have dt2w.
Hello guys,
on the Redmi Note 10 Pro I saw the double tap fingerprint sensor option in the settings.
Why isn't this available on the Mi 11 Lite?
The sensor should be the same....
I'm only having the first 4 options, the last one is missing completely.
Thanks in advance!
Well ask xiaomi, it's their decision what features each device gets.
Is there some way for use gestures in the fingerprint sensor for doing things?
