Feeling dumb: how to enable double-tap to wake? - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

I can't find the setting and mine most certainly does NOT double-tap to wake out of the box. There definitely wasn't any sort of "check here to enable" during the initial setup, either.
I assume I'm missing something obvious. Wouldn't be the first time

It's under "Gesture & motion" section

Edit: I waited to long to answer LoL

It never occurred to me to click on something that had a toggle (other than the toggle itself, I mean).
Most of the time I consider myself a smart guy. Today is not one of those days.

How's double tap working for you? It's finicky..about 60% nothing happens when I double tap. Then the other times it's laggy or delayed to wake compared to my OPO on sultan rom which wakes immediately.

Have you guys seen this?

[FIX] [NO ROOT] Fix for screen turning on in pocket

Hi guys, I thought this would help you, so I wrote a (I hope) noob-friendly guide.
Basically, this fixes the screen turning on in your pocket and detecting random touches. It keeps on happening to me, I end up randomly calling people/emailing the president and it's really annoying when it happens.
This does NOT fix the flashlight turning on due to detecting a 'V' gesture (for that you gotta disable the gesture itself, sorry, can't prevent that happening).
So basically you gotta install this app (Glimpse Notifications) (Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with this dude, just sharing for fun) and do the initial setup. Then, in the app itself, go into the Extras menu and enable Lockscreen menu and enable 'Lock when covered' and the next two options you can set as per your preference (I use 'only in Lockscreen' and '600ms'. You can also enable a double tap to lock on the lockscreen if you're using the Beta version (available in the Extras menu).
Oh, and to prevent it from closing in the background, enable the Persistant Notification in Extras and go to your notification bar, long press on the notification and tap the crossed bell (assuming you're running Cyanogen OS/CyanogenMod/a ROM based on it) to hide it.
That's pretty much it, you're set!
P.S. I know you can get similar functionality using Gravity Screen etc. but this is free, and it's only polling your sensor when the screen is on and you're in your lockscreen, so it should barely use any battery (and uses only around 8mb RAM).
P.S.S. It's my first thread on XDA, any feedback would be appreciated
Good job!
My friend had a similar problem, this seemed to work for him, thanks!
Anytime!

[N] - Notification help

Backstory: I don't use the stock android alarm clock because when I am half asleep I can't figure out what icon snoozes and what icon dismisses so I often dismiss my alarm and go back to sleep... no bueno.
Solution: I have always used circle alarm. It has features that I really like but is now due for a visual refresh.
Problem after Nougat upgrade: I have do not disturb modes setup for when I am sleeping. I tried to increase the notification permissions for the app to allow the alarm to go off but when I go to Settings > Apps > Circle Alarm > Notifications, the slider is disabled and says "App determines importance for each notification", so it is stuck on level 3. I have the setting "Override Do Not Disturb" enabled. Driving me crazy and have been late to work the last few days because of it SMH.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
when you go to its setting, tap on 'A' circle icon, it should then enable the slider.

I am an idiot. You are a genius. Cannot believe I didn't think to click that. Didn't even notice it was there to be honest lol. I blame it on the sender labels in gmail that serve no real purpose.
Worked like a charm though, thanks! Will test the alarm this weekend to see how it does
I actually found it by accident lol.
I had a notification that would cause an app to force close when it was set higher than the third slider. Just happened to hit it one day accidentally while adjusting.
/me shrugs.
Glad it helped you out!
Somewhat related note/question...
Has anyone on N had issues with Quick Reply specifically with Hangouts? All my other quick reply compatible apps works perfectly, but hangouts fails to send 70% of the time.

I am able to access the slider and change the settings. However, no matter which setting I apply I still have the peek notification on my screen. All of the other features of the slider work (lock screen behavior, sound, vibration, etc.). For some reason I cannot disable the peeking. At this point I am just curious if I am missing something. I can live with it as is, but just has my curiosity up. Thanks.
Press the "A" button to Edit the Importance level of Notofications. So intuitive, yet it would have taken me forever to figure this out. Thanks!

Double tap for ambient display?

Is it possible to double tap the device's screen when it's off for the ambient display?
The pick up gesture doesn't always work, and I would rather have it be a action I can do to make it ALWAYS work.
Thanks in advance.
My understanding is that double tap to wake is a hardware requirement (that the 6p doesn't meet). But if you use your first to 'tap it' hard enough you should trigger the gyroscope to wake it

Nexus 6p has double tap to wake feature build in but you have to have root go activate it. I use it all the time and always works so I think it's not a hardware feature, someone just has to port it over or something

I'm using it too, but I did think it would be great if it worked like double-tap-to-ambient-display. That is, doesn't wake it fully just do the same like when lifting it. But didn't have the time to look through the kernel source yet.

Yep that would be great, I hope someone figures it out if it's possible to do
You can get tap to wake with a custom kernel like the one I'm using on my stock rooted N6p. Try EX Kernel it's awesome!

But that wakes the phone fully, not in ambient mode.
I would like the ability to turn on screen saver on double tap or to have the ambient display on all the time. I like how my Wife's S7 shows the clock all the time.
Just slide it a little on the table it will turn on. Mine always does that... sometimes piss me off...lol

On screen buttons haptic feedback

Hi there
Am I missing something or is there no way to turn off the vibrations when using the on screen buttons? I'm sure on most phones it's under the sound menu....
You weren't wrong; it is in Sounds. Look for the "Vibrate on tap" option in the Other Sounds submenu.

Got it, thanks. I don't really understand why the vibrate on touch option is under "Sounds", let alone hidden away in "Other Sounds" !
I have every setting I can find set to not vibrate and yet it still does. Is there truly no way to make it stop? I would like to find the software equivalent of "snip the wire to the haptic vibrator". Stupid waste of energy.

When is it still vibrating? 3rd party keyboards are common sources of this, they usually default to enabled.

Every time I touch the button. I don't use the fingerprint scanner and use the "one button nav" feature, and that setting is set to not vibrate also. Every time I touch it - lock, unlock, swipe left, right - it vibrates.

Double tap to wake problem

I have disabled always on display and my d2tw does not work instantly like it did on my 5t. It stuck on the screen lock sometimes even when i press power button and come to life after few tries. D2tw is not working on every try. It misses often. Any body facing that, any of it?
I disabled double tap and enabled single tap to wake. So fare I did not have any issues waking up the phone.

It's working fine... With this option.
But single tap enables only Ambient Display and you can't use face unlock right?
I only use fingerprint, which works after a single tap. Sorry.

okay don't flame me, but I'm not seeing any option other than double tap to wake

Actually that does work, my double tap also doesn't work all the time. If you tab one time at the fingerprint area it will wake.
single tap can be activated under display/active display (inactivity display?) or however it is named in the English version
