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!

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

On Huawei's other phones with fingerprint scanners they feature gestures on the scanner, a lot like a touchpad on a laptop. You can swipe down for the notification tray and swipe it up, double tap to clear the tray, swipe up for the recent apps, and long press to go to the home screen.
Since none of this was mentioned to be included in M and I know that's custom Huawei software. I was still wondering if any devs out there might be wanting to work on an app to add these functions, or if something similar already exists. This really makes the scanner a lot more functional.
They also have a safe and app lock in their software 2 other great additions. I know I've seen an app lock for the Samsung phones, and not sure if it'll work on just any phone with a scanner. While these are great additions on the Huawei phones, their skin is not. I'd love to see stuff like this incorporated on stock version of Android. I know nothing about programming, but just hope some eager devs are out there and looking to enhance what the scanner can do and take better advantage of it.
I hope it does have this feature but I haven't heard anything about it either...
No, it doesn't have it.

What about turning the screen on? Do you have to press power button, and then put your finger on the fp reader, or you can directly put your finger on the reader and screen goes on and phone is unlocked?

Unlike the Xperia Z5, and Samsung phones (not 100% about Samsung phones), you do NOT need to turn on the device first. Simply putting your finger on the scanner is enough to wake it up and unlock it. The Huawei Ascend Mate 7 does that very well and is very accurate. This bodes well for the 6P for obvious reasons.
Yep. On Huawei Mate S, we can slide down on the scanner and it brings down the notifications list. I would really love to have that kind of gestures implemented so hopefully some devs would implement it on roms. *fingerscrossed*

Samsung requires you to wake the device first. Basically you have to tap the home or power button then let it read your fingerprint. Kinda lame. I wish it were like the new nexi
Xposed will add this if someone makes it. I use gesture control but using the finger print scanner would be so much better

I've seen no mention of that being built into M, but on Huawei phones with their EMUI skin they have an app locker which does this. It's a really great feature for a phone with a scanner. It's great to lock down banking apps or whatever else you want to keep people out of.
I know someone has created an app like this for Samsung phones, however I'm not sure if it'll work with other phones using a scanner. Hopefully someone creates something like this soon if it doesn't.

I have the note 5 as well, on it right now. Like you said, you have to physically press the button before it will read the fingerprint. The point was that with the new nexi, you only need to place your fingerprint on the reader for it to simultaneously wake up and unlock the screen. Not something the note 5 does

Marshmallow has API's for app developers to implement this. I ordered this phone because I want to incorporate it with an app idea I have. I'm not sure if Marshmallow has this built in where you can limit access... I guess you could set up different accounts on the device which would limit access to the device based on fingerprint.

Maybe they changed things with Note 5 but Note 4 does not do anything by just touching the home button you have to press. It's a crappy scanner too. I cannot wait for my 6P to arrive and forget about the Note 4 (well, I'll use it for VR)

Its also pretty useless for alot of scenarios with the finger print scanner - its fine when connected to a trusted BT device and then swipe to unlock or if you want to check the time with a double tap.
Its pointless otherwise, however a nice feature for the sake of a feature - the power button achieves the same thing or just finger print to unlock right out the pocket.
The only case I have found a use for the D2W is when in my car connected via BT streaming music and want to quick unlock in traffic to change a track without having to reach around my phone holder on the windscreen to unlock via the scanner.
I'd hazzard a guess its why google never enabled it out the box but left the function in.

I mean, come on man. the conceptual point of Android was the ability to have your choice of options than what a single company deems necessary. It becomes second nature once you have devices that have it like the m8 or Nexus 9. Also some cases or bumpers tend to mush the power button travel, making even that way more difficult.
Even that aside, sometimes you just want to check and manage notifications or whatever, fingerprint immediately unlocks the device.

DT2W is an AWESOME feature - even if it was disabled by Google after careful thought. Yes, the fingerprint scanner is quick and very convenient. However, because it bypasses the lock screen it also bypasses lock screen notifications. Sometimes I just want to read a quick text/push notification without picking up my phone or locating the power button. A quick double tap on the screen is a lot better than picking up the phone, using my fingerprint to unlock, and then swiping down the notification shade to read my updates.

Used DT2W with N5 / 6 / 7 / G3 and G4 because it was useful as I never used pin entry or any other type of passworded lock, just swipe to unlock.
Now we have a finger print scanner the whole idea of D2TW is depricated alongside active display ( to a certain degree & AW )
D2TW works fine as a quick check for the time but coupled with finger prints its a dead end function beyond checking the time or expanding a notification, notifications are mostly acted on in day to day use.
Now go through the motions - You DT2W see a notification you want to attend to and your faced with one of two things 1. Finger print to get in or 2. Pin or pattern unlock.
In these two cases its slower than just doing FP or Unlock codes - Now factor in the accuracy of DT2W ( yes it can be adjusted ) but some cases it will just ignore it and require a more firm press on the screen.
Now we have two hurdles to factor in - now Imagen your at Google and your selling a device with a quick and efficient and secure way of getting into your device fast to compete with the growing trend of other OEMs.
Do you plump for a slow unaccurate system that does not even get you into the device and still requires PIN entry to do stuff or do you go the FP route.
looking at it this way makes it all very clear from Googles perspective as to why its not enabled by defult.
I like DT2W don't get me wrong but its just irrelevant for those who will use the FP in conjunction with the LED or active display or AW.
The fact that it only serves a good useful purpose when connected to a trusted device for quicker access, alone shows how its a Gimmick feature these days due to tech moving on.
Alot of people will still naturally use the power switch to check the screen for notifications as its been creature habit for many since androids inception, LG introduced it and it gained traction before the whole active display thing moto dropped on the scene.
Now with active display ( Frankly a stupid gimmick if you ask me - give me a blinky LED anyday ) and android wear ( if you can believe that is even worth the effort or cash trust me its not ! ) its even less relevant to DT2W to read the screen.
Point is its not there by defualt for a reason - a design reason - a technical reason - a marketing reason : yes android is open source and google knows nexus people like to tweek their devices so they will have left some gems for people to play with.
As a device they are selling DT2W is not a likely candidate to hit the specs sheet or the TV adverts or Ads is it now when its up against bigger better selling features : FP / Permium build quality / USB C / Slow mo video capture e.c.t
I like to look at things from both points of view but DT2W has little going for it these days with all the additional functionality

Agree to disagree. Double tapping for a quick check of the time or a notification is a handy feature. Not every notification requires you to act on it. A lot of times (Gmail Spam) I will DT2W and then swipe to dismiss the notification. That does not require using a pin and or fingerprint.

Your argument is pointless, just because google turned it off doesn't mean it doesn't serve a purpose. Example, google heavily pushed ambient display over LED notifications and we all know LED notifications work ten times better....
Yep, my phone sits most of the day next to me in a trusted space and it is mucho nice to be able to double tap in and check messsages, time, etc. without having to specifically hit the power button to light the phone up. Further I have owned a phone where the power button eventually died and DT2W removes the majority of cycles on the power button. It can be done when the phone is on either side. It can be done while the phone is in a dock and more without taking your eyes off the road if docked in the car. Just because someone in particular doesn't use it doesn't mean it isn't a useful feature.
I think the reason DT2W was disabled is because someone on the android team secretly is taking money on the sly from Apple in exchange for removing useful and nice features from android. Anyone who says anything else clearly needs more tequila in their life.

It is made difficult by the finger print scanner being on the back of the device. If it was on the front the functionality would be unnecessary. I like the scanner on the back for in the hand use but it is a limiting factor during use on a table/flat surface.

This seemingly small embellishment is just so darn useful it would be great if Xioami got around to incorporating it. I was using my old LG phone the other day to keep track of time while working on a dirty project, and the ability to double-tap to wake the screen with whatever portion of my fingers/knuckles which were clean at the moment was a real lifesaver. I forgot how truly useful it is, and I definitely miss it on the RN2!

Thanks, socolino, for the suggestion about the Knockr app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tecnology.angs.knockr). I've taken a look, and, of course, while this app does its best to mimic DT2W, it is pretty much a kludge. It basically just turns the screen black to simulate it being shut off, but it actually keeps the phone awake. So this means a massive hit on battery life. And there is other collateral, too, because the phone doesn't actually go to sleep. For example, the notification LED does not get activated because the phone is not actually sleeping. And supposedly the power button doesn't turn the screen on as expected (i.e. get rid of the black mask).
Anyway, thanks again for the suggestion.
this feature is disabled in kernel, unless we will have source codes or xiaomi will anable this feature, there will be no dt2w

As a workaround, I use the WakeUp Touch L Free app. With the correct settings, it wakes the screen virtually every time by double tapping the proximity sensor. I haven't noticed any battery drain using it. Here are screenshots of the WakeUp Touch settings I use. Another couple of settings that are useful to modify: long press on WakeUp Touch in Notifications & assign it High Priority; lock WakeUp Touch in Recent Apps by dragging it down.
To turn the screen off via double tap, I use the Screen Off and Lock app in conjunction with Apex Launcher's double tap gesture [Nova & other launchers also have this gesture].
My last phone before this one is the Droid Mini. So far the Z5C is infinitely better in everything (but my expectations/standards are pretty low...) except that the Active Display feature from Motorola was awesome. From a bit of Googling, there are some other apps that copy this functionality to various degrees, but maybe some of you can give more specific insight than the articles?
1.) First of all, I'm confused. This article below states that Motorola released the app on Google Play Store for the general Android population... but it doesn't come up when I search it on my Z5C. What the hell?
http://gadgetstouse.com/featured/to...lay-notifications-alerts-android-device/19901
2.) If the Moto app is not available, any opinions on the alternatives? From reading a few articles, sounds like Dynamic Notifications is my best bet. Thoughts?
I tried xposed module, but it used proximity sensor, so it is not the same thing. I also miss that feature a lot from my nexus 5x, double tap to wake is kind of replacement when phone is laying on the table. When you take it out from a pocket, pressing the button isn't such a big deal. I couldn't find any reasonable replacement so I learnt to live without it
I really don't understand why other manufacturers don't copy-cat this feature. It was without question the greatest feature of my old phone.
I tried out Dynamic Notifications, but it's weird. First, it didn't play nice with the existing lock-screen and login structure. When I had a notification, pressing the power button no longer took me to the lock screen -- instead it just turned off and locked the screen. It's as if Dynamic Notifications became a second lock screen, and the power button toggled it on/off, and I had to tap the home key to get to the actual lock screen. On top of that, after getting to the actual lock screen it seemed to somehow screw up the fingerprint login because I kept getting prompted to use my other login method (PIN in my case). Most weird of all, it had some crazy bug when I used Uber. I was trying to check where the Uber car was on the map, and it threw me to the Dynamic Notifications screen, with the Uber notification showing. I logged in again, pulled up Uber again, checked the location of the Uber on the map, and it instantly did it again! And again... So screwed up.
TL;DR: Do not use this app, at least not on this phone. It's buggy and/or just makes you jump through extra hoops when logging in.
Yeah I also have double tap enabled. It's okay I guess.
Nexus 5x had a dedicated hardware sensors for that matter, I guess that may be the problem. Anyway I agree with you that every manufacturer should implement it.
I would try AcDisplay for the lock screen and if you want raise to wake, try Gravity Screen . Be warned though, Gravity Screen is kind of glitchy with the fingerprint sensor, so I would just use AcDisplay. ^_^

So I finally got around to trying out AcDisplay. That video that is on the app download page shows how you can wake up the phone using proximity sensors, when pulling it out of your pocket or even waving your hand over it... But none of this works at all. Not even a little bit. Does that mean that the Z5C does not have any proximity sensors built into it?
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.

Me too
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.
