This is the most frustrating feature because I somehow manage to unlock my phone all the time while the phone is in my pocket. There has got to be some setting in build.prop or somewhere where I can disable or override this function, right? Anybody know what I need to do?

which ROM are you using?
Started off with Scott's Senseless 2.0 ICS ROM, but I've made plenty of changes to it as well along the way..

There are no software updates, so perhaps that is the reason it doesn't do anything?

Possibly; but when I used to press the button it took me to a page that told me that there are no updates available. Now it doesn't respond to a press at all. It also has an exclamation point next to it...

Are you on stock ROM? Did you freeze or uninstall anything related to updates?
Apparently I did freeze an app called AT&T software update. I tried to reactivate it to no avail; all through titanium. It just tells me that it is restoring it but it never does. The circle thing just goes around in circles and it never times out. I let it run all night last night and it didn't work. Do you think I need to do a hard reset and re-root my phone?

Coming from Samsung here, so this feature is very new for me.
Does the knock to wake feature work if you're set on pattern lock? Or does it only work when you have knock code set as your security?
Reason I ask is because I initially had the knock code set as security, then changed to pattern after I set Android Pay. BUT, knock to wake has been working for me the past two days (even with the pattern lock ON)...until 2 hours ago.
Now the only way I can knock wake the device (or even access the second screen) is either to set the security as Knock Code, or press the power button.
Is this behavior normal? I found it weird that the second screen is untouchable with the pattern lock ON.
Knock On will work everytime regardless of your lock screen setting (double tap on the center of the screen to wake device up into lock screen).
Knock Code, however, need to be set to unlock your device, the pattern is of your choice.
Android Pay doesn't accept a knock code as a security measure. I was using it, then was forced to switch to pin after setting up Pay.

ok so correct me if I'm wrong: regardless of your security settings, KNOCK ON will work to wake the device up. Yes?
In that case, something has gone wrong with mine as I can only do knock on when Knock Code is set. Even worse, the second screen shortcuts are only accessible in that mode as well.
I think I just encountered a similar if not the same problem but I'm not sure if it's an app or if it coincides with something I accidentally tapped in the hidden menu last night.
I had been using pattern unlock since I got the phone on friday and double tap to wake the screen was working fine along side fingerprint unlock, now double tapping doesn't work and the second screen does not respond when locked.
EDIT: I just tried knock pattern and it allowed me to wake the screen but the moment I switched back to pattern it stopped responding to screen wake tapping.

sorry to hear about that, seems like you have exactly what I had. Knock on just stopped working out of nowhere.
Good news is, I did a factory reset and it fixed the issue. Albeit, without access to Titanium Backup, it's quite a chore right now to redo all of my setups. Trying LG Backup now just in case.
Give factory reset a try and hopefully it'll solve your issue as well.

Yeah I was kind of afraid I'd have to reset already, barely a week in, lol!
Thanks for letting me know a reset worked, hopefully it doesn't happen again.
I think @knifedroid had the answer. AndroidPay doesn't allow you to use knock. I have the same issue as well...well i guess it's not an issue...it's a feature.

Knock Code is a security method, Knock On is a feature that LG implemented at kernel level to wake up/turn off the device. The issue that we've been having is with the Knock On not functioning anymore.
Long story short the reset restored Knock On (wake).
Long version, I gave the LG Bridge software a shot to do a backup to the PC.
It let me backup just about everything including apps and data, including Humblebundle apps and stock homescreen layouts, so it's probably as close to tatanium as you ca get.
I Haven't gone through updates yet but so far Knock On is still working after a restore, I'll edit if that changes. *crossing fingers*
oh man I'm glad i came to peek this section for this, as i feel like i tapped something wrong in the hidden menu as well. i might wait a little bit to do a reset and see if someone finds out a way to keep the KnockON thing running when screen is off.

hey someone on another thread said that deleting all the fingerprints solved his Knock ON issues. Can you try this out?

Just tried it, no luck. Both knock on and off are still not working.
The issue started for me last night after going to the hidden menu and enabling Fast Dormancy. Disabling it again doesn't help. I guess just avoid the hidden menu is the takeaway here.

ok, sorry bud. Hard reset did the trick for me, but it'll be good to know what caused this and what can we do to solve it.
Now that you mentioned it, I think my issue started after I was playing around with hidden menu as well. Although I didn't recall changing anything.

Yeah, tbh it sounds like a software bug by LG. Just going to the hidden menu seems enough to break the knock on/off. Makes you wonder what else might be getting messed up too that we haven't noticed.
p.s. this thread is why XDA is awesome.. everyone thinking 'omg what happened?' only to see others in exactly the same boat.
This makes sense. I think my knock on stopped working after using the hidden menu to look at the dB on the LTE signal.

So in this case of resetting, would I be able to just grab the system img and flash it without actually doing a hard reset? I don't want to have to set up everything, again.(i had forgotten it was going to reset when I unlocked the BL)
Just confirmed it. Knock on breaks when you try to enter the ims settings menu inside the hidden settings menu. It crashes, then knock on stops.

I am having an issue where it is grayed out and stating something else has an administrator lock. Any idea on what's holding it up?

That looks like you are in the android pay security options. If so, android doesn't think that knock is secure enough for androidpay. Don't think there is anything we can do about it yet.
If you decide to use android pay you cannot use KnockOn pattern unlock to open your phone.

I just got an LG V10 from AT&T (5.1.1). This is my first phone that is not rooted.
Automatic Hibernation wants me to undo secure key guard, if I could find it on this phone.
Anything else I need to set, please let me know.... Help

Hi guys,
I'm using moto g4 plus.
Because I've enabled greenify in accessibilty.
My phone asks for finger print or pin even when I'm at home. (I've set my home address as a trusted place)
Any help would be much appreciated.

In Greenify's Settings, enable Alternative Screen Off Mode. It is compatible with Smart Lock on most phones.

Hello,
I have enabled Alternative Screen Off Mode.
But for some reason when i wake up my phone, the lock appears unlocked. When i swipe it up, it asks for PIN or Finger Print.
Further more, in accessibility i have enabled Norton & Greenify.
In device admin, i've enabled Norton & Greenify as well.
The issue is not with norton.

Please try deactivating the device-admin of Greenify. If you enabled the "Alternative screen-off", it's not needed any more.
Hi Oasisfeng,
Thanks!
Looks like my issue has been resolved
Hello,
The issue still persists.
Only if I remove greenify from accessibility, my smart lock works. I guess I'm left with no option but uninstall it.

The issue seems to be with your phone since Greenify works without issues on my OP3.
