Hi guys,
i need to disable double tap to wake up my H850.
How can i do this?
Thanks
There may be an easier way, but I carried over the same technique that I used on my G4...
Get QuickShortcutMaker from the Play Store. In the app, do a search on "knock."
This will yield a result for "settings." Tap that, and it will expand to reveal two "KnockOn" settings.
Tap either one of those, and it will open an "Edit Shortcut" screen. Tap the "Try" option, and this will open the KnockOn settings. In there, you can turn off the feature.
Doesn't matter which of the settings you choose, both will ultimately take you to a screen where you can turn it off.
Best of all, you don't need root (thank goodness).

I used to be able to double tap my HOME button on my droid and it would automatically launch the VoiceTalk app while I was driving. Then I updated the firmware to allow for WI-FI calling and now it no longer launches the app. I can't figure out how to set it back up. So here I am posting to you great and all knowing people....looking for an answer. It is not a setting that I manually did, that I am aware of, as I have 2 of these phones and both of them have the same issue.
Thanks in advance!
Post Edit: I contacted T-Mobile and apparently, they removed it from the double tap feature and if you now hold down the search glass in the lower right hand corner, it will bring up 4 apps you can use. I still like the double tap feature, but might have to live with this change....
OK... I have got Tasker, I`m trying to make a shortcut to talkback, or accessibility that can be accessed from double pressing the home button.
I have tried xshortcut to try and use the capture feature on it, but I get a permissions error.
I could enter it in the intent field manually I suppose, but what would I have to type as an intent to get to talkback to either toggle on or off, or to get just the the talkback screen?
I have looked and looked. The closest I am getting is com.android.settings.Subsettings.
Yes I am a noob and yes I am out of my depth, but I am just trying to make a talkback toggle for my partially sighted wife.
Any flaming/suggestions welcome
EDIT: In an ideal world, the Home2 shortcut app would work, as you can select a shortcut in this app, so I would make an accessibility shortcut with Anycut, and use it with that, but SGS2 isn`t compatibile with Home2 shortcut, and advanced home button app cannot select shortcuts
BUMP.

any update on this?? Am also trying to figure out the same thing for galaxy s and an android tab..
Closest I have got is, because Home2 doesn`t work on TouchJizz, you install some kind of AOSP rom then it works faultlessly.
The closest shortcut you can make is getting to the accessibility page, this is does either through Nova launcher actions (which I thinik is similar to anycut) or use Anycut itself!
Talkback needs an update...
Same here. I emailed the developer of spiel and he says a direct shortcut can't be made as Google limits this!

I was just curious if there is a way to set the action for when I double tap the screen. Maybe I missed it in the settings somewhere. I have an LG phone and use double tap to wake and put my phone to sleep. With Themer it just opens the settings dialog.

I found the setting but cant seem to find a system default setting. Knock on and off is one of the LG G2's best features. It would be nice if it could be used with Themer. Could it be considered for a future release?
Other than that great app.

Try knocking the status bar if you have that enabled. It should work.
So I'm getting inconsistent results from google assistant when the screen is off and locked (I use the dot pattern for locking). From what I can tell I have to reboot the phone and google assistant will unlock and answer my questions without any issue. THEN after a few hours or so, maybe half a day, when I say "Ok google", the device will perk up and register my request, but won't automatically unlock. so I have to draw the pattern for it to respond to my question.
What's the deal with this? Why does it sometimes work, but other times it doesn't? Has anyone else had this problem? It seems so random. I can't figure it out.
Thanks for any help.

EDIT: Just figured it out myself. When I lock with the double tap it won't unlock with "ok google". The reason, so far as I can tell is that Nova Launcher is responsible for the double tap screen lock/unlock feature, and so Google assistant won't unlock through it. When I disable double tap through Nova Launcher but enable it through system settings I can only double tap to unlock, and the double tap for locking doesn't work at all.
I can't find a solution where double tap works to turn the screen both on and off, AND assistant always works. But at least I'm one step closer to the solving the issue.
You can double tap on the notification bar and then disable the Nova double tap lock. Not what you want exactly but since Nova can't do what you need, it may be the only way to have your Nova and Assistant.
Honestly though, I have Nova but have been pretty OK with the way the LG launcher can be configured.

I use Nova with a pin on my lock screen. Google Assistant works as advertised every time... That said I very recently did a factory reset. Do you have AOD enabled?

Ok, this is kind of a BS workaround, but here's your solution:
Go to Settings > Lock Screen > Voice Recognition
Set an unlock phrase different from "OK Google." (I used "hello phone," but whatever...)
Now if you "OK Google" your phone and your knock code / PIN / pattern unlock screen comes up, you can use "hello phone" as an alternate, and it'll bypass the lock screen.

Double tap the notification bar? When I do that it just shuts off the screen. Is there some other way of getting to this setting? I mean, I can go into Nova settings and assign 'none' to double tap, but then I still can't double tap to turn the screen off. Apparently Nova interferes in some way. It won't cede control double tapping to the system settings even when there's no action assigned to it.
I recently got this phone, one of it's features are gestures, I don't see an option to double tap to lock, Am i missing something or is just not there?
I don't see this option anywhere. I'm afraid it's unavailable...
EDIT: delete this post please.

You can simply use a third part launcher instead of the stock one (i.e. ruthless, pear, cpl or the best one, in my opinion: smart launcher)
I have this problem on my new Oppo Find 2X pro. Double tap to switch on, not available to switch off. Could a software update solve this. Seems the only way to lock the phone is to use the external button. My Realme X50 Pro 5G has this option. Any other ideas please.
it is sufficient to connect the double tap gesture to the "lock screen" built-in app.
fast and easy.
