Yes. Double tap on and off from the home screen.
Awesome, thanks for the quick response. I hate using the power button, this or a finger print sensor like my Moto g5 eliminates the issue.
I wonder if LG and Google gave the same double tap on/off to the pixel 2xl? The pixel 2 didn't have it, but the XL is a LG. However, it's Google software. Probably a Longshot there. [emoji2]

When I double tap to try and turn off the screen I get a message saying the app is not installed and then I am redirected to the play store to a screen off and lock app. I am using Nova launcher- wondering if that is causing this issue?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
With Nova you need to double tap the status bar to turn off the screen.
It doesn't work on other parts of the screen as it does with stock LG launcher.

The LG launcher is required for double tap anywhere to work. However Nova does support an accessibility option to do it as well. You can set it using gestures, and then select the Screen Timeout option. The screen will go black for 5-10 seconds, and then you will see the AOD, indicating the phone is locked.

Good: Double tap any blank area of any home screen
Better: Double tap status bar
Best IMO: Download and install LMT launcher from here to setup PIE controls. If you find the LMT settings intimidating watch this video. It'll walk you through setup. Go to settings>Set gesture input and choose #2. Under the PIE tab select your pie piece and then under advanced command options choose KEY and put the number 26. Now when you access your PIE shortcut labeled "KEY" it'll turn off the display.
Thanks to members trh1341 and _Sofos_ for helping me figure this out.
These are good tips guys. While I knew all of this. It's good someone got the word out a lot of people don't know!

Method #4: Lock/turn off your screen by tapping the Lock Screen App icon from your home screen, app drawer, or recent apps : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kennethcheng.com.lockscreen.free
I used this on all my phones before I got my G2 and it worked flawlessly.
Does the LMT Launcher allow you to hide the stock soft keys?

You can also just wait anywhere from 30 seconds to 15 minutes and it will go off on its own, unless you have it on never turn off but I think it will eventually lol.
I am using nova launcher and double tap to turn on works fine but won't turn off. Double tap on the status bar is too tricky for me to operate on one hand.
Thanks to a xda user, to get it to turn off with double tap you will have to download /screen off/ app from play store and set the double tap quick key in nova to launch the app. Works like charm.

It's also easy to set up a Tasker task, and then call it on double tap from Apex or Nova
Elixir admin works too, but for some reason makes mine less responsive to double tap wakeup about 1/3 of the time
My favorite is Shake Off. A gentle twist or shake tturns the screen off and its adjustable sensitivity and direction options make it easy to keep from having the screen turn off too easily, pretty sure its free too. Very convenient and highly recommended.
I installed nova launcher and Screen off and lock app. I can off screen via Double Tap. But ı cant on screen via Double Tap. Because i can't choose second notification in screen off and lock app. Why i Can't choose? What do you offer me? Do you know another app? Or what can i do? How can i choose second notification in screen off and lock app?
I tried on Z ultra original rom (4.3) and nexus 4 (4.4.2) but same problem. I can't on screen because ı can't choose second notification in screen off and lock app.
Thx for everything and i am sorry for bad grammer.

I think but may well be wrong that this is dependent on the kernel. The screens touch sensor needs to be on constantly to be ready for a double tap. Our zu kernel has no need for this. Think it's only present on certain phones.
Someone else might have something more concrete though.

Hey guys, any of you started using Nova on v30? Which features are disabled when using Nova? Also can you do anything to navigation buttons like change the icons or make the tab transparent? Thanks!
Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
I've been running Nova since I got my V30. I haven't noticed anything being disabled on the V30 compared to the other devices I've used it on. Yes, you can change the icons on the nav buttons, and all other features that Nova is known for.
Knock On/Off is disabled when using Nova. Sadly. Basically one of my favorite LG features can't be used. If you get another app like Screen On/Off it messes with the security settings and you cant' use the finger print to unlock, you have to do your pattern/password. So yeah, not exactly thrilled w/ using the LG launcher but it is what is.

Ironically enough, I just noticed that they have a screen lock option in the settings for gestures and inputs now too...
There are two options, one is locks the screen immediately (which requires pin/password/patter, which I didn't want) and the other just turns the screen off for 5 seconds then locks itself, allowing for knock on and fingerprint. So thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
And yes, you can double tap the notification shade as well and that does the same as the second option.
Thanks again!

The V30 new floating bar doesn't show up for me on the home screen, but shows up in any apps or settings. Kind of a bummer since they removed the ticker screen in the v20 and v10 for the virtual one, but I have to choose between nova and no ticker on the home screen or a different launcher and ticker on the home screen :/

How do you use the ticker on the home screen, for what purposes? I'm asking because for instance if it's in order to launch apps maybe there's another way more efficient?

I actually figured out that it will stay on the home screen as long as I don't hide the navigation buttons. When I keep the navigation buttons persistent on the screen, I can use the ticker.
As for what I use it for, there are some media control settings, shortcuts, but most useful is screen shot and making gif features.
Oh man that was the only issue I was worried about using a launcher. I really wanna use the floating bar but can't give up nova either [emoji58]

Hello,
I know this is an old thread but want to ask the question regarding Nova launcher and the LGV30+ that I have.
When I setup the Nova Launcher, to unlock the phone with my finger print, it asked me for addition pattern or a pin. Now that it is set up, whenever I use the fingerprint to unlock the phone, it also ask for a pattern.
Does anyone else have this issue?

If you are using Nova's double tap to sleep feature, and you have it set to the 'Device Admin' option for the lock method, you will not be able to use biometric unlock. Using the 'Timeout' method will allow you to use the fingerprint scanner as normal.

Thank you for that. Do you know if there is a way to set this up to work with the double tap to lock the screen? It is giving me a message that it has to be an admin.
Thanks.
EDIT: OK figured it out. You set Nova to turn off the screen with a double tap. The timeout will lock it.
Thanks!
I know the thread is a little old, but someone also asked about using the floating bar with Nova.
Should be able to use it. I know a question was previously asked about it by a poster, and the issue was not Nova, but the fact that the poster had the Navigation Bar set to auto hide, and the Floating Bar is directly tied to the Navigation Bar. If the Navigation Bar is hidden, the Floating Bar will not display.

Does anybody know a way to enable double tape to wake/sleep?
Instead of double tap, long press on the bottom of the screen where the home button would be if the screen were on. There's no built-in double tap to sleep, but some third party launchers (like Nova) have implemented a work around. But it only works on the home screen.
The home button method is lmag, but still not great. It's nice to be able to just tap any part of the display and for it to wake up. That's one thing the iPhone definitely got right this time around compared to S9+

Implementing this feature will probably add battery drain as some sensors need to be active all the time also a custom kernel could implement it. Wait and see

It can be an option.
The S9's "always on" home button requires a sensor to be on all the time, too. But the SD 845 has a very low power mode to support these sorts of things. I don't think double tap to wake would use any more power than Samsung's approach. But I'm happy with Samsung's approach, but I wouldn't mind a double tap to sleep, like my old G3 had.
ElementalX has double-tap to wake.

Well, sort of. One, it doesn't really put the phone to sleep instantly. What it does is reset the screen timeout to a very short value, so the screen goes black. Then, after the phone really goes to sleep, it resets the screen timeout in the background. Two, you can only do it from a Nova home screen. In LG's implementation, you could tap on the status bar on any screen to put the phone to sleep. (Or maybe it was the Nav bar. It's been a long time since I had my G3.)

Yeah you are correct on both. LGs way is anywhere half way down the lock screen could be double tapped to go to sleep. That's what I'm looking for. Just grabbed the s9 and I miss the dttS on the ls. The double tap on home button isn't too bad I suppose but still also miss the full screen dttW from LG.
if you have the home button showing on always on display you can double tap it to wake(instead of pressing it hard) just double tap it
If you use Nova Launcher you can use the double tap to turn off gesture.

This douple tap feature was available but it stopped 2 days ago. I don't know why or how to set it again.
Issue: Launchers when active disables the Double Tap feature to turn off the screen.
I like to use Nova Launcher for several reasons. However with the new LG V30, when Nova Launcher is active the Double Tap to turn off the screen fails to work. Double Tap to turn it back on works fine, as does the Double Tap from the Lock Screen works for both screen on and off.
Is this a known issue with launchers, or is it an LG V30 issue?
I've not had a phone with the feature for Double Tap screen off/on before, so I have no idea if it's to be expected and find nothing posted about this either.

Since that shortcut switched off the screen on every Android phone I had so far as long as Nova has the required administrator permissions set. So I see no need to avoid it.

There are two modes, one of which locks the phone, after which the fingerprint unlock doesn't work, you have to enter your code to unlock the phone. The other one doesn't lock the phone at all, it just turns off the screen, and the AOD doesn't show up untill the phone actually times out and locks on its own (it says after 5 seconds, but it's actually 30 seconds for me).
I would agree. The present implementation of Nova Launcher doesn't really follow function or form with the V30's own lockup function. It doesn't really lock the phone up. It just darkens the screen... not secure it.
What I really would like for Nova Launcher to do is to enable the user to use the whole screen to implement the knock code to lock the screen up. I think the reason we can use the notification area alone, is that this is part of the V30's own infrastructure layout, and not a Nova Launcher area.

Yes but as other posters have said, it doesn't actually lock the phone - it just turns the display black and only locks after the display time out (60seconds in my case). It doesn't turn off the touchscreen, it just blanks it.
If you are rooted nova can lock the screen just as lg launcher does.
