Does anyone else have the problem that sometimes your phone requires some real *****-slapping to wake up via knock on? Sometimes it wakes right up but most if the time I have to knock five or six times.
I've tried knocking at different locations and at different intervals but I can't figure out the trick.

I don't have problems with knock on at all. In my case I've found that taping really quickly actualy reduces the sucess rate. Try moderae taps at stedy paste. Also if you cover proximity sensor it won't work. My guess is that it's a "pocket safety" feature to prevent self wake up.
A little bit of practise and you'll get there
No problem at all here, just like double-clicking a mouse:highfive:
but from my experiment, the center area is more responsive than the side, try it with light tap
Hi guys noob question here: I don't have any problems with knock knock but I thought there is supposed to be a knock sound when taping on phone? I can't figure out how to enable the knock sound..can someone help? Thanks

Hi, wondering if others had similar problems or fixes.
After a while of use, the touchscreen becomes unprecise and quite unresponsive. For example, it becomes difficult to input strokes or use the keyboard. This problem disappears when I immediately sleep and reawake the device.
Any ideas?
Thanks!!!

There's already a thread for that.

I have been having the same issue. I really don't want to send it back.
Here is the other thread where this is being discussed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792722&highlight=touchscreen
I have the issue sometimes too. Nothing to write home about. I just turn off the screen and turn it right back on and it seems to work. For the money and performance this thing is my new love. I haven't turned on my laptop in 3 days.

Has anyone gotten this problem? Sometimes, when I try to unlock my Nexus 7, it doesn't actually unlock and turns off the screen. This happens several times before it finally does unlock. (Sometimes you have to activate Google Now before it will unlock) I would like to report this to Google but I am unsure how to do that by email. Just wondering if anyone else had this problem too. Thanks!
Surely someone must have had this problem too.

Nope, are you on a custom ROM or kernel?

No, not even rooted. It seems to happen most frequently with third party apps.

Maybe it is a problem with the third party app? ...

I've noticed it especially with skpye, but it has happened with stock apps like chrome and gmail too.
EDIT: just had it happen with the Twitter app. It seems it goes to sleep earlier than it should when the unlocking problem happens.

I had the same issue. Let me guess...you have a folio case with the magnetic smart cover feature?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
No problem here...
I also at times have problems with the unlock screen.
The lock screen at times is just in a frozen state.
To fix I press the power button to turn of the screen and hit it again to turn back on the screen.
The lock screen then functions as usual.
Note: This happens even when I have no apps open.
Well as it turns out, a lot of the folio cases with the sleep/wake function use magnets that are too powerful. When the case is folded all the way back, the magnet is activating the sleep function. I almost sent my tablet in for RMA but then I realized it was the case. If it happens again, just let the flap hang and you should be able to unlock your device hope I helped.

I do not have the smart case and I have a frozen lock screen issue.
LCD often has wake up lag.

I have a folio case. Never thought that could be the issue. I'll try letting it hang freely from now on. Could someone tell Google about this so they can release an update to fix it? (since people without the case are having the same issue)
Why?
I mean... sometimes it response on two knocks and sometimes i need four or more....
Have you seen the same ?
Yep, it's pretty normal.
I assume with it being a new feature it's not properly optimized properly if thats right word for it.
If LG get their ass into gear we may see a fix for it. And I mean IF.
No, but i have noticed a trick with it. If you put your hand over the top area of the screen, and then try to knock on. It will not work no matter what until you move your hand. I believe it is a sensor.

Try slow double tap or fast triple tap, it goes better for me
Try it at center of your screen
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
I feel if you "face" the device and tap it works all the time.
I have noticed the same thing across the top bar. I thought it was the camera controlling it, but it is just that my finger was barely on the screen itself. So far a great feature!!

Yes the feature is one of the reasons I bought the G2. I'm always thinking I'm going to wear out the power button. LoL

tapping at the top of the screen where the status/notification bar would be works 100% of the time. at least for me.
I knock 3x. Works all the time
Thanks for the double at the top of the screen hint - works great now
What's worse is accidentally switching on the screen by simply handling the phone and it recognizing your "handling" as knock ons.
Yes, the proximity sensor will keep it from working. Since i have been more aware of this it works much better. Even if i have the phone in landscape and have my thumb on the slightest edge of the screen it will not work. U dont have to be over it. Just close will keep it from working.

Sometimes my knock on doesn't work. I end up tapping the screen 5-10 times to get it to come on. Anyone else having this issue?

I usually have to tap like the exact same spot
And make sure you don't cover the proximity sensor

Strangely enough, I found how hard I knock matters to whether it works our not. I had the same issue with knocking 5 - 6 times until I lightened my touch.
YMMV

On your second tap, hold it on the screen for a millisecond longer.
I just hold my screen and shake my phone and it turns on

What are you using for that?
I too have noticed hard taps ate a bit more unresponsive. Mines perfect with quick ready doubletap.

This actually helped. For months the Knock On feature worked smoothly, as did the Off feature. Suddenly it stopped working so well. I had to tap very precisely and slowly, even then it was hit or miss. Better now. Off isn't an issue because I use Nova launcher gesture with Screen Off. Is there any way to adjust the sensitivity of the proximity sensor?
I was using my phone like any other day, and then I locked my phone and later on went to wake the screen and it wouldn't wake up. I did a "battery pull" (power+volume down) and it rebooted fine. When it came back on, I tried to press the button to lock the screen but to no avail. I went on and got smart screen on and it works okay but I'd like to know if any of you know what's wrong with it. It feels fine, clicks like normal. I haven't dropped it recently or anything. But sometimes, when I barely touch the power button, the power menu opens. I don't really understand that but if any of you have any help for me, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Kinda sounds like a hardware issue maybe some pocket lint or something wiggled it's way in there... Take it apart and have a look..you would be surprised as to what can work it's way in there

Just suddenly began working the next day. I don't exactly know why... Maybe an app or something had it confused. I really don't know.
