Double Tap screen to turn on/off not working with Nova - LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using Nova launcher, I can double tap screen to turn it on no issues.
I saw that with the v10 you can double tap the screen to shut it off as well. If I use the LG luancher it will turn off with double tap, but when using nova double tap will not shut off.
On the lock screen it will doubletap to turn off.
Any suggestions on how to get this feature working using nova?

my att v10 works with nova. double tap at top of screen

Use the screen off and lock app, and create a knock gesture in Nova Settings attached to the app

hmm, thanks, If i double tap in the notification area it will work. But anywhere else on the screen doesn't.
at least now I can get it to work there.

I haven't heard of that app. I will look it up. Thanks.

Download this app and set it up, works perfect for Nova double tap to turn off on any phone I've used.

If you entered the hidden settings at all..then it breaks the knock on. Pretty stupid bug to make it past testing

Really nothing do u have nova prime and if do uninstall and reinstall nova see if that helps

What I've found on all LG devices is that the Knock On feature works all the time. Knock Off on the status bar works all the time as well. Knock Off on an empty space on the Desktop seems to be specific to LG's launcher.
As was mentioned previously, the best way to replicate that with Nova Launcher is to install the "Screen Off and Lock" app and assign it to a double-tap gesture in Nova Launcher.

I'm using double tap for another app with Nova, never did anything special, it just worked from the start.

No sorry. Hidden settings within the phone itself by doing whatever that code was. I only did it once and me and few other guys confirmed it in another thread.
Enter service ..hidden.. Menu..it crashes...knock on stops working . i am using stock launcher

Doesn't work on my TMo V10...I like the feature so I am using the LG launcher.

I use screen off and lock to swipe up from the soft keys instead of Google now. Works in just about every screen, not just home

Install this:
Than set this in Nova Prime:

Are you talking about the Developer settings? If so, I've gotten into on mine and knock on and off still works.

you can check out GMD spen control if you have root. It lets you set custom gestures.

Thanks, I can't believe they didit include this. not sure I want to go through the rooting process just yet. I'm sort of a recovering flashaholic

If you use another launcher other than TouchWiz you can. I just tested with sslauncher. I opened the gesture control and created a new gesture "H" and chose sslauncher from tae application list. It will not work with TW as it does not show up as an app. It is a bit of a work-around as you must first open with an upward motion and then write "H". Its far far quicker to press the Home button.
If you do decide, or already use a third party launcher i would recommend you use "SwipePad" instead to quickly jump to the home screen using the S-Pen

I went into spotify and checked the box that says "device broadcast status" and I now have lockscreen controls.
Sent from my phablet
I'm using the newest version of Spotify and I was able to get lockscreen controls without changing any options in the Spotify app by using a pattern lock. I have not tried this with PIN or other types of lock screens, but the controls show up where they should and function properly when using pattern lock. They do not work at all with the TouchWiz standard unlock screen from my experience. This is sadly the only way I've been able to get them working without using a third party lock screen app.

Possible to Double tap screen off when not on lock screen?

I love the double tap on and off. But it appears that double tap off only works when on the lock screen. Is it possible to adjust a setting and have double tap screen off from any screen?
For some reason HTC did not include that option. I know some launchers allow you to do this and I'm pretty sure there is also an Xposed framework that can do it too (Need to root).
You can set double tap gesture with nova launcher. I use a tasker action to lock it, but theres also screen lock apps on gplay

This is exactly what I do with Apex Launcher and Tasker with Secure Settings. Double tap home screen re-locks the device.
Still waiting on my One but does double tapping the status bar work to sleep the phone when on other screens other than the home screen?

Thanks guys! I am rooted, running Skyfall but that rom doesnt have xposed. Will try tasker win conjunction with Nova launcher! That power button on top with this long phone is just too cumbersome lol
found an app called tap tap app that does this
found an xposed module that can do this
doubletaptosleep is the name of the module
double tap the status bar and phone goes to sleep.
works great
I love my g2 for that feature but want an m8 so bad hope they make an update for that.

I don't know if the Z2 has a customizable quick launch (you know that thing where you swipe up to get to Google Now) as I don't yet have my Z2...but with my HTC One on CM11 I set the left quick launch bubble to "screen off", which allowed me to quickly turn off the screen from within any app. It's by far the best way to turn off your screen.

Can I prioritize second screen notifications?

Hi all,
Just got a V10, loving it so far. Second screen takes a little getting used to, especially cause I'm one of those who grew dependent on customized led's. Is it possible to prioritize which notifications show up on the second screen when phone is off? IE I'd like to have my mail, kik, FB etc notification icons show up ahead of/have priority over any others? Is it possible to do that on stock? I've done searches and nothing's come up.
Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Yes, use quickshortcut maker to find the hidden menu for it. I'll try to find and post back.
Edit: found it. Under activities type "second screen" click on "second screen settings" and click the "notification" option. Toggle whichever app you want to show or not [emoji106]

Installed and followed your directions, but my changes don't save. I go back in and everything has defaulted to off. Any thoughts?
