I saw a nifty thing on a nokia the other day (i've not been a nokia owner for about 7 years so this may have been around for a while already)...
double tapping the screen, anywhere, shows the time...brilliant.
Got me thinking if it is possible to define an action for a double tap on the screen of the touch hd. A double tap anywhere on the screen and not linked to the location of the tap. Is there any way to recognise a double tap (and then ignore the location of the tap and run some other defined event instead)?
This would be great functionality if it existed.
Just a thought/request.
cheers, cojo
p.s. still waiting to find a way to turn the hd on without using the power button or stylus withdrawal..!
Hi guys
Can anyone please tell me if double tap is still available to enter sleep mode ?
And if yes, how to set it up of course.
I found how to setup "wake up" but not the opposite.
I used it on my "old" Z5C and loved it...
Thanks.
Tap and hold on your home screen, go to settings and there you find it.
Only double tap to wake for x family as pressing the power button will unlock it with the fingerprint sensor.
Dunno why they remove the double tap to sleep
Maybe because of zoom function whith triple tap ?

Double tap to sleep is available in Home settings as an option to be turned on, Im already using it on my X compact.
To turn on not to turn off

I didn't trust you but i was wrong!
I had a look at Home settings and finally found it.
Double tap is still available to sleep AND to wake up.
Anyone has programmed a "Double tap action" on the HOME button ?
Don't you notice some "lag" when touching only one time the HOME button?
I know it has to wait to seek if a second tap is coming but I think it waits too much time!
Disabling "Double tap action" on the HOME button makes HOME button very fast as expected!
I also facing this issue
Yeah, I noticed this issue, too.
I've disabled the double tap action because of that.
we decide didn't use it until this issue has been solved
It's because of the method double tap works. Everytime you press the home button, phone is waiting on second response. This same thing has happened on cyanogemod/lineage for as long as I can remember across all my devices...

I'm willing to bet it was there lol.
Can't do the test ... sold it
3t user here..
I can confirm exact the same behaviour if you set an action for double tap....home button is not so responsive on single tap .
That delay has to be there, it's by design.
If you assign a double tap action to any button, after the first tap, there's a delay that results from the system waiting for the second tap, if this second tap is recognized, it performs the assigned action, if not, it performs the regular single tap action.
It there wasn't that delay in there, every single double tap action would be immediately preceded by the single tap action, which would be very very much annoying.
For example, home button - single tap is return to home. If we assigned a double tap to, let's say, turn on the flashlight, without the delay, the process would go like this:
- You're inside an app and want to turn on the flashlight,
- Double tap the home button
- Because there's no delay, you would immediately be taken to the home screen (single tap action) and only then the flashlight would turn on (double tap action).
That's NOT how it should behave at all.
So, in conclusion, you either have to live with a short delay when assigning double tap actions to buttons or disable the double tap action and have no delay.
Note: this delay is present not only for double tap actions on the HOME button but also for the RECENTS and BACK button.
Note 2: this delay is present in EVERY single ROM that has this ability to assign double tap actions to physical buttons (not just OOS).
Personally, I just turn off the double tap action and use longpress instead, there's no delay that way.
Double Tap Options all off!
Case closed.
But but why there is no delay when you press the multitasking button? . That has also a default double tap for quick switch (alt tab) to previous app!
.. but as soon as you customize the double tap of this button you get a delay!
It must have something to do with the finger print scanner function on the home button too.
But the delay is present on all 3 capacitive buttons if you put a custom double tap action.. so i don't think it has anything to do with fingerprint sensor, more of a deliberately action of an increased timeout.
Well.. hope they will decrease the timeout or at least make it customizable
Do you notice it on the back button? I tested and it seems no different.
Yes i notice it on back button too. Just retested.
No double tap - instant. Custum double tap - delay
Yup! I also confirm know.
I was using double tap on home / back to turn off the screen.
Just changed to long press.
No lag now and same objective done!
isnt there a prob setting or so to adjust the delay ?
Is there a way to enable "one tap to wake" instead of "double tap"? (Like iPhones)
Wouldn't double tap be better as there's less chance of accidental wakes. And honestly it won't burn up too many more calories doing the extra tap. ?
1 tap for AOD ,2 taps for lock sreen... only option for now
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if there is an application or anything else that can allow tap (or double tap) to wake on a rooted Nexus10
Once I used Microsoft Launcher for a while, which had the ability to wake up by tapping the screen.

Thank you for your reply!
I can't seem to find an option to tap to unlock with the Microsoft Launcher
I can see the Tap To Lock option but not the other way around
Maybe you remember how you managed to do that?
Thanks again!
