Well, even when the tap2wake option is turned off sometimes when I unlock the phone I'm all of a sudden in some sub-options menu, or some mini app is running, or the torch is on --> you get the idea.. I mean, has anyone else experienced that?

Had that on a previous phone while using a protective foil and/or a case that did not exactly fit the phone. Could that be the problem for you?

Thanks for the answer! but I'm not using any foil/case. I'm thinking about using the screen recoding function to see what goes on in my pocket
I have had this a couple of times, only notice when the phone gets hot in my pocket.
I always have tap to wake turned off because it always wakes my phone when it is in my pocket.
I'd love to know if there is a solution to this problem.
Put a lock on the phone, so that way whatever is turning the screen on can't continue and eventually it'll go back to sleep. I had this problem and this is the only solution I've found. Its worth it for the amazing battery life.

I have noticed that my x2a goes out of standby when I am putting it into its case (on my belt). This causes the display to turn on again -- wasting battery time and possibly starting programs.
Has anyone else noticed this? I find that if I hold the phone for an additional 3 seconds befor I place it into the case, going out of standby does not appear to happen ... but that could be just operator error ... and I have tried to avoid hitting any of the buttons when inserting the phone, but the whole thing could be operator error ... or, like I think, that the phone is sensing a position change and jumping out of standby ...
Is there a fix for this?
I thought I'm the only one experiencing that problem.. The thing is, my phone is just on the table and in standby mode and then for some reason it just opens... Very weird..
Sometimes it happens to me too. i don't know why it happens.

Just a far shot:
Are you guys by any chance using the OneBridge syncronisation software?
I had this problem but it disappeared when my company switched to Activesynch/WMA for Exchange syncronisation.
i noticed my phone was doing this to, so i set it down and watch it for a while and noticed the screen will turn on when it is updating my weather or email, so this may happen when ever it automatically connects (due to some email, weather, ect.) you can try turning off data connection, and see if that changes anything. good luck

mine was off all along... so I guess it doesn't update anything when this happens...
sorry that didn't work, i'm just thinking out loud now, but my phone has recently stopped turning the screen on by itself. uhm things i've downloaded recently was the SDfix.cab and the htcSDK.cab but both of those wouldn't effect it. uhmmm. is there possibly something running in the background? the only other thing i can think of is lock your phone so you won't push button while its in your pocket, and wait for an update (which an update is unlikely to come out). sorry i couldn't help

It's okay dude, I did what you said.. I locked my phone whenever I have to put it in standby mode, and great... It doesn't turn on by itself.. so I'm guessing that I pushed some buttons while the phone is in my pocket...
cheers mate!
It's the magnet!
I know the question was asked a while ago, but noone has posted this as a possible reason.
There is a magnetic sensor for opening the keyboard in the top left corner of the device. When you move your phone near a magnet (most phone cases' covers are held by magnets) it will detect opening the keyboard and go out of standby.

I just tried that, and it does some out of standby when I pull it out of the case ... I was wondering why that happened -- sometimes, and not others -- and that answers the issue of pulling it out of the case ...
Thanks for that explaination ...
But there are other times when it goes out by itself ... but I have it is the case most of the time now, and not on the charger ... so it is not really an issue for me anymore, but it is another mistery solved ...
Yup, my X2 does the same annoying thing.
I agree, best way is to lock the screen.
I noticed that the screen part of the phone is kinda wiggly...
I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing KnockON inconsistencies with their G2. Turning off always works properly. But if the phone has been idle long, it hardly will ever turn on the first one, two, or even three times I knock on it. Sometimes I have to tap it rather hard to function. I've tried different locations on the screen, as well as the center where the phone actually instructs you to do so. Then I tried faster and slowerand it makes no difference. The tips of my fingers are hurting now lol.
Thanks!

Surprised you're the first to bring this up, lol! Been watching this device closely on on youtube reviews on this device you can see it right infront of your eyes. Doesn't ALWAYS wake on double tap but does ALWAYS turn off, weird. Idk what to tell ya but yes it isn't just you...
Are you using the stock launcher?
I switched to Nova and noticed its very finicky for me ever since I stopped using the stock launcher.
Still on stock launcher.
I just tap it 4 times when turning on, no big deal.
The only time it fails for me is if I tap too softly. I notice that when turning it on, it does take two distinct forceful taps. It seems to register anything else as a touch. So, while I think it could be better, I don't see it as inconsistent. If it was too sensitive, it might end up turning on in your pocket.
I think it has to do with the motion sensor in the phone. Mine works fine if I just tap it twice while it's in a steady position (even in my hand), but when I'm riding my bicycle I can't get it to tap "on" most of the time (unless I stop). Tap off works much more reliably.
i'm pretty sure there's a deep sleep issue, but that's to be expected..once the process that controls knockon goes to a deep sleep, of course it won't work right away.
Tapping near top of screen seems to work much better.

Exactly.
Can't have both battery life and also expect the Knock feature not to go to deep sleep. I prefer to eat my cake.
Also, I like that it does not accidentally turn in my pocket or when gripping the screen in my hands, etc.
The Korean version has gotten a few updates to make KnockOn smoother, so you might not have that update yet.
Well, I have a VZW version so updates will not be plentiful lol. Knocking on it several times, rather than twice seems to work better. Thank you guys for your suggestions.

Maybe we should shake it a few times and then double-tap the screen. It would be like a Moto X/LG G2 hybrid!
I’m doing a study right now with this feature by recording the time and results. So far 3 quick knocks resulted in successful power ups 100% of the time (7 for 7). When doing 2 knocks (prior to the study) it was intermittent to the point of driving me crazy.
Come to think about it when you knock on someone’s door do you knock 3 times or 2? I always knock 3 times but the video reviews of this feature messed my thought process up with 2. First world problems I guess. LOL
I will report back with my results tonight.

Same for me. It says you need to either tap in the middle or top of screen. Anywhere else doesn't work as well.

Seems to work best if you tap where the lock screen widgets are located -- top center, but not at very top.
Anyone having a problem with the phone going unto deep sleep and then just shutting down?
Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk 2
I have an explanation. I think this happens because when the phones asleep (screen and touch panel is off), knockon uses the motion of the phone, read by the accelerometer, to recognize that two-tap pattern and subsequently turn on.
When the phone and screen are on though, the mechanism happens by direct touch input and is much more reliable, so it should happen every time.
This would explain why in moving situations like riding a bike, or when I was trying to turn it on while it was on the bed, which probably absorbed the motion from the taps it doesn't work as well.
I did hear that the Korean version got a firmware update that helped, though who knows when we'll see that in America.

I've googled and searched on xda but haven't been able to find much. So at night when I place my phone on the charger ask is good until it is completely charged.
The screen pops up telling me that I now have full charge and to disconnect charger. Bad thing is.....it doesn't go away..!!! Now I'm left with the screen lighting up the entire bedroom in the middle of the night.
Now this would bother me much but my girlfriend is now waking me err up in the middle of the night asking me to turn my screen off.
Please help!!!

Go into Settings>Developer Options (if you have it enabled) and look at the "Stay Awake" option. Make sure it is unchecked. If it is checked, the screen will stay on when it is plugged in unless you manually turn it off. I am guessing this is checked for you and is why the screen stays on.

Well it looks like I may have found a solution to my problem. Found an app called Batter Charged Silencer. Not in the Google play store. Will try it tonight and see what happens.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
Found a solution! PLEASE READ IN FULL
Hey man. I have a Note 3 and have the same problem. As you've probably discovered by now, the Battery Charged Silencer app does not work for our newer devices. In searching for alternatives, I found apps that provide an alarm for when the battery is fully charged. This was NOT what I had wanted, as I just wanted my light to go off when charged, but I figured this the best alternative (hear the alarm, unplug). HOWEVER, I discovered that one app in specific DOES NOT WORK AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO, and, because of this, my phone never lights up when fully charged!!! Go to the play store and get the free NEOADN FULL ALARM. I launched it once, disabled the notification bar selection because I didn't want that (so maybe do this just in case, and also leave the discharged amount option alone), picked a sound, and nothing mattered cause it never worked, never came on, and neither did my screen! One of the reviewers of this app said the app was crap cause it had to be launched each time to work. Maybe that's why it "works" for me, cause I activated it but then held my home button down and closed all apps (not thinking) and then realized it was a blessing! Just install, maybe configure how I said if needed, close your apps, and never worry about it again! (And don't ever update the app just in case they "fix" it). Hope this helps, let me know via email: [email protected]

Surprisingly the Batter Charged Silencer app did work for me. I've been good to go ever since. No more waking up to the girlfriend telling me to turn my phone off in the middle of the night
Whenever I leave my Note 3 in my pocket where I can always somehow accidentally touch it, it always eats battery like crap and then when I open it again, the PIN is changed to something I don't know. I use an app called TimePin and I'll turn it off to see if the problem still occurs, but this is really weird. Anyone have similar problems?

How did you unlock the screen if the PIN was changed?
Try to uninstall completely this app. And check the Battery Info to find the source of crap.

Lucky that mobile data can be toggled from the shutdown menu.
TimePIN changes your PIN code according to the clock on the device. Depending on how you set it up, the PIN could be current time, mirrored, doubled, reversed or who knows what
I used to have it on reverse, so when time is 07:38, my PIN would be 8370 at that time. Changes every minute.

hello
i have note 4 n910c with 6.0.1
My screen doesn't automatically time out if I press the home button or the power button to turn on my screen. In order for the screen to turn off, I have to manually press the power button. Otherwise, the screen just stays on and drains my battery !!!!!
I should also note that if I receive notifications, my screen lights up and I have to either dismiss the notification or manually turn off the screen.
i downgraded to 5.1.1 it worked for few days then the same issue again
i formatted my device and flashed most recent stock rom 6.0.1 again few days and the same problem screen not turn off automatically
any solutions?
by the way when i use smart manger and end all RAM applications screen turn off work good immediately then after few minutes not turn off again
You can try widgetsoid app, that haves a big list of toggle widgets, and no lock screen is one of their widgets.
