Does the 6p have the double tap to wake option?
Nope, had seen a video where the presenter absently tried to double tap it, didnt wake up.
Though with ambient display I kinda see why they omitted it.
With the inclusion of the sensor hub hopefully the battery hit stays frugal.

Shouldn't matter with the fingerprint scanner. You shouldn't even see the lock screen.

That honestly bums me out, hopefully there'll be a third party app that enables it, I love that feature. I know it's enabled on the Nexus 9, as a Display option, I hope it was disabled.

Not going to lie, I don't plan to use the finger print scanner, I really don't love the though of it being in any form of "confidential / private" (encrypted) keychain.
I hope this can be enabled without using lots of extra battery like it does on the nexus 5. I use a wear watch so the lock screen is off much of the time anyways, so double tapping while the phone is still on my desk would be great. Personally I was not a fan of the ambient display on the nexus 6. So I am sure I will disable that right away.
Will I be able to wake up phone with voice command when screen is locked and and off?
On the moto x, ambient display was awesome and the was never a need for this. On the nexus 6, it just never worked right. I'm hoping sensor hub resolves this and makes it perfect. Combined with the fingerprint scanner I really have no desire for double trap to wake. However, I don't fault others for wanting it. Hey, they threw the LED in there when it was disabled by default, maybe dttw is in there too.

fingerprint unlock doesn't work well if you use your phone while it's on a desk so Double Tap to wake should be a must on almost all new devices.
Moto X's Display Notification is probably one of the best things out there, I'm definitely going to miss it

There’s a lot of familiar territory in the Nexus lineup this year, actually. Like the Ambient Display, which blinks with the time and notifications when you pick up your phone or turn it over; that’s lifted basically intact from the Moto X. (The only difference is that the Nexus phones also kick on when you nudge the phone, shifting it slightly on your desk. That’s a nice addition.)

Each has Nexus Imprint, fingerprint scanning on the rear that works with Android Pay and unlocks the phone. With Context Core, both the Nexus 5X and 6P cameras can launch with two twists of the user’s wrist and display notifications with a nudge.

In the presentation they said you could launch the camera by double pressing the power button, I am guessing this is what they decided to use instead.
@mazinya it does have always listening. I saw it demonstrated on android authority......... I think?!
the problem with ambient display is, when the phone is in your pocket, its gonna keep waking up. same as when your driving. it was annoying as hell so i disabled it immediately.

What do you guys think of the camera modes? I think a lot of them seem to be cool but aren't they all independent? I.e., if I'm taking a shot of 3 people in a busy area, it stands to reason that I would want to use best shot for the people's faces but also use the eraser feature in case someone walked by. Is that possible?
I'm also thinking about combining all the features in very few modes...like what the htc one did.. it's actually all based on burst-mode or post-effect.
I'm really confused why they've made it in this way, it can't help a lot in the daily usage and sometimes is annoying.
Is anyone else having the issue of the camera not remembering the mode if you close ot then open it again at a later point

Gs3 gti9300 had this to it is easily fixed by choosing your desired settings, then take a snap of something, then close cam and close in running apps, then when u load fresh it will still have saved settings. This only applies to gps, face detection, ISO, resolution, not the drama shot and shot with sound.
Hope this helps

Yes it is, go to settings when camera is loaded then select face detection on (set to off by default) then go to Eraser shot.should work and give best possible outcome. Let me know if this works for you mate

Sometimes, it's amazingly accurate. I'll run exactly 3 miles and it tells me I've gone 3 miles. Another day, I'll run 4 miles and it says I've gone 400 steps. I wonder if it has to do with how it's positioned on the body or something like that?

Hi All and thanks for the responses.
I did recently recalibrate the gyroscope and it did not help. I usually hold my phone in my hand while running. Is that a bad thing to do? What is the best position?
I downloaded Accupedio (?) and it was far more accurate than S-Health.
I wear my phone in an armband on my bicep, and as I said, that's not terribly accurate. This morning, I ran 3 miles and it currently says that I've gone 317 steps, most of which were probably between my car and my desk. I'm going to guess that it works a lot better in my pants pocket than it does on my arm.
Of course, I don't really care about the accuracy of S-Health. If I wanted to accurately track my runs, I would use MapMyRun. If I was concerned with tracking steps, I'd get something like a Fitbit.
I've given up on S Health. I have it updated and yesterday had the phone in my back pocket on the treadmill and it was still way off. I had Accupedo running also and it was very close to what the treadmill said.

Nice! Love this feature. Always envious of lg for that. How much does it effect battery life
noticed the nexus 9 has it too on a video i saw.
Maybe that's a typo or he got confused with the 9? Strange that nobody else mentioned what would be a pretty big feature...
I hopefully does it, because after getting use to it on my g3, i catch me some times trying to wake my other devices with double tap
I loved that feature on my G2, M8, and now G3...but with my G3 always turning on in my pocket I was ready to be over that feature.

I'm not a fan of bringing back dead posts but double tap to wake does not work on the nexus 6, or at least not on mine.
I'm still hoping they included it, just not yet enabled. Or maybe a dev can activate it, especially since it is on the Nexus 9. Key will be if the digitizer and screen are on different power planes so as not to drain battery.

I hope a Dev can enable it with a new kernel I miss that from my G3
Its only worth enabling if it doesn't completely drain the battery IMO ... and that depends on hardware .. thats the reason why Nexus 5 couldnt really use it ( even after activated by the devs ) because the hardware wasn't right :
It had to keep power to the entire screen rather than just the digitiser, thats why the G3 etc don't drain the battery .. lets hope the Nexus 6 screen is built to supply different power to the digitiser and actual screen

Ok so if the fingerprint is slow with ambient display on then this is new. So if you update you might as well turn ambient display off as I have always done to save battery. Now that the fingerprint is slow with ambient display on or off it really doesn't matter now. You have a slow fingerprint
the fingerprint sensor is 1 sec slower with both ambient display on&off.

They first introduced this in P, so I have had it for awhile. One work around is to tap the power button first, that turns on the display and then the fingerprint works faster. It feels smoother and faster. I got used to doing that pretty quickly and it seems natural now.

The same delay is there for me when using the fingerprint sensor or when pressing the power button. While I've read about others having a similar issue before, I never had the delay prior to the June security update. Turning on ambient display does decrease the delay, but I'm not an ambient display user.

This does work, but it's not something I'm going to do. Positioning my hand to hit them both in succession is a little awkward, and takes more time than just waiting for the delay. I'm sure I'd get faster at it over time.

For once being left handed is helping me. Grabbing it with my left hand my thumb is already by the power button.

Read through the Flash Kernel thread. There has been some good discussion about it including some technical info. Yes it's intentional, and Google prolly won't do anything about changing it. Maybe down the road a dev will bake in the removal of the delay into a custom Rom and or kernel.
Turning AOD on definetly unlocks and wake the screen instantly, although previously i had it disabled.
