Hi, this is my first Emui device ,i was wondering is there is a way to get double tap to wake without root.
Thanks
Its not possible at fhe moment
The only way to wake the phone without pressing the power button is touching the screen in the fingerprint sensor area....
another alternative or workaround is turning on "pick up to wake" in settings

How can you know what exactly the position you should tap on? Or it always display on the screen?

If you tap the screen anywhere a purple fingerprint will illuminate on the screen, but the first tap is not necessary if you're already used to where you should put the finger, you can just put the finger even though it is not displaying the purple icon and it will unlock. The optical fingerprint sensor is not great though, was hit or miss for me.
It'd be handy for the screen to turn on though. Are there any good apps that accomplish this? Obviously the screen is already always expecting input so this wouldn't be that much to add, I think.
I sent request to HW to make this very convernient feature. I hope they will listen to users!

They would have to pay LG for the patent to implement it in M20P as double tap to wake is a feature patented by LG.

Those were the good old Sony days...
but you know what's weird? We have double-tap to take a screenshot that works on any app so clearly the hardware/kernel functionality is there?
Everything is software isn't?

Exactly. There is already the "double tap to take screenshot" why wouldn't they enable double tap to wake
Maybe somebody who has root can try this

You can yous doubke tap to wake:
Huawei have very bad AOD, it doesn't have any information only time. I found this AOD that have so much settings and very, very, useful.
- AOD (time, calendar, weather),
- Notification (when you get messages on som application like Viber it shows Viber icon, you can touch icon and read message on AOD without unlock it),
- Blacklist app - app you dont want to show on AOD,
- Duble tap to wake, swipe up for camera and etc...,
- Edge lights for notifications,
- Background for wallpaper,
- Adaptive mod,
- Font style,
- Music Controls,
- Automatic move clock,
- And many more settings...
Name of app: Allways on Amoled Edge Light

* I havent test batter drain of this application.
p.s. this is not my application i just found it. All the best, enjoy

It kinda works but the fingerprint reader doesn't always work because of the overlay, I guess that's the payoff. sad that double tap is there but does not do something as basic as wake the phone.

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
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?

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

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.
Hi
Anybody knows if is it possible to have this feature ? maybe installing some apk mod ....

Check this, go to Motion control => Pick up => Wake up device
If available in your device then might be similar.
Using third-party app is not recommended, can cause battery drain.

sorry but no , seems you didn't read the OP, he's asking for the tap to wake up feature which the p20 lite doesn't have instead he got referred to the pick up the wake feature which again wasn't what he asked about in the first place and so when he replied his phone doesn't have that feature he was referring to the tap to wake up feature

The only one I used a long time ago was KnockOn (you can find it on XDA) but I don't know if it would work on this device.
Or perhaps going for Tasker, maybe it has something to allow wake on tap.
Just for the kick, is the feature important for your daily use? I personally find the raise to wake more functional
There is no DT2W option. Just FP sensor for that.
P20 Lite does not have touch to wake. Only stock alternative is pickup to wake.
i find this, https://www.xda-developers.com/enable-double-tap-to-wake-on-huawei-and-honor-devices/ . anyone try it?
I know there is a thread on the app, but here's a video of me setting it up

Hey all,
Check out the app LED Blinker Pro, there is an option to have a blinking light on the screen. Looks exactly like previous samsung phones, and you can also have multiple lights for different notifications. Problem solved!

Did you try it and does it work?
Just to know if the API that supports it is there.
It seems the downsides of all the led apps is that once you get the notification you can't unlock the phone with the fingerprint sensor, you have to double tap the screen or something to cancel the app and then unlock the phone.
Working pretty well for me this far. I added this app on my gf's and my S10 Plus's. Besides going through the bevy options we have it setup. The light only goes around the camera when a notification comes in. Still doing some tsing so I'll update if anything.

There is an option though that you can select that if you pickup your phone, it goes right to the lock screen so you don't have to dismiss the led screen.

If you have fingerprint added, you can wake the sensor and directly unlock the phone by pressing on the sensor even when the screen is off. Hope this helps.
I was just going to ask this because I absolutely had it before I switched from the Chinese ROM to the Global ROM and now it is gone. So it's definitely capable with the global ROM, they just have to add the option for it. Annoying.
