Is "double tap to wake screen" available for Z2? This post [*1] says it's included in 4.4. My Z2 is with 4.4.2, but I can't find the setting to turn it on.

i find the double tap so frustrating ! i would say 9 times out of ten i cant get the screen to wake using this ! and it don't seem to matter where on the screen i tap or how hard , it just isn't very responsive. i use the button on the side now !

Same here. Hopefully there will be a customized rom that can configure that double tap sensitivity level. The current range is too narrow, you can't tap too fast or too slow. So I usually just keep tapping 3-5 times until the screen unlocks. I use the button more often too.
Hmm that's weird. It almost always works the first time for me. I don't even tap hard. Do you tap fast enough?
Probably not fast enough. If I hold the phone with just one hand, usually my thumb is not fast enough.
It does not matter how fast or hard you tap the screen. It almost never works here. Can anyone confirm if this can be fixed with a hard reset?
I've just toyed around with this tap to wake and I've noticed some things about how it works.
You have to tap in the same place (you can't tap in corner and then then the other corner) and the distance seems to have only half an finger width margin of erorr, you have to use a small area to tap, so you cant tap with your whole thumb for example, it works best with just a finger tip. It doesn't matter how hard you tap but timing is important and it's roughly the same speed as a typical double click on a mouse (the faster the double tap the better).
Using this method to wake the phone is pretty redundant I think, I prefer to use the power button.
Anyway hope this helps.
Personally I've had no problems with double tap to wake. You just have to remember to tap in exactly the same place, and at a moderate rate. If you tap too fast, it doesn't pick it up.
I do love the feature though. I use it to wake my phone up probably 80% of the time, especially when it's sitting flat on a desk. So much more convenient than hitting the power button.
i tap with my index finger in fairly rapid succession normally in the middle of the screen .. but as i have said before i find it works far less than it should ! if the phone is laying down on a hard surface it will work more often , but if i hold in one hand and tap with the other, it seems to fail .
double tapping
Read most of these replies and i had the same issue regardless if i tap in the same spot, speed etc.
Anyways even though i dont wear gloves, i had this option ticked which affected the sensitivity of the screen. Once i unticked this option, the double tapping works 100% regardless of where on the screen i tap etc. you just need to tap consecutively close not seconds apart and mine never fails.
Hope this helps....
I noticed that also, but the circle that appears when you are close to the screen drives me nuts, so I turned it off. Instead I tap 3 times. That seems to do the trick.
Hi guys! I ran into the same problem , and I hope my post will help someone. You 've probably noticed that a double tap works in virtually 100 % of cases, if the phone is lying on a flat surface and does not move. So the trick is to keep your phone in a stationary while you're tapping . If you have small hands ( like I have ) , I recommend to keep the phone so that the lower left corner of the phone rested in the palm of your hand, and so the phone will not move. Pressing force and velocity values are not actually important. Sorry for my English and I hope somebody will find this information useful

After a week of using it, i had the same problems as you guys.

You should get used to how to tap. Not very fast, slowly is better .:good:
It's wotking fine. Don't blaim de phone, it's you to blame
hello guys,

You can't! [emoji16]Not for now, at least!
it is a big absence
Hi there. Not sure what happened but double tapping on the home sceen to sleep does not work. Both gestures are turned to ON. I can only wake the device using 2-tap.
Appreciate advice.
Hello everyone,
The lift to wake up feature on my Redmi Note 9 pro stopped working almost a week after I had bought it. The screen doesn't wake up even when I am continuously keeping the lift to wake up setting ON . Can someone please help me with it. I cannot determine whether it is a hardware issue or a software. Thanks in advance..
A simple reboot should fix it
I tried to reboot it , but it didn't work even after that. Thanks anyway
Hi, does touch works on this model? My screen wakeup only if I standup my arm or press phisic button. When screen goes black I can re-wakeup only within 10/15sec. After that time there is no chance, is it normal?
Ciao, nope. It's not a problem but would be very usefull, touch is more confortable than button. If you tap the screen and it lights up would be a good feature, don't you think? Mi Smart Band 6 has this feature and it's very usefull. Ciao!

Yeah, it would be much better for me, that's why I said it's a problem. Do you plan to buy Mi Smart Band 6 instead of Amazfit Bip U?

I've go 2 mi band 6, but its display it's too small for me, but it's very usefull feature. I hope support can update software with this feature. Ciao.
Sure, I think wouldn't be a problem. Just now if you see you can wakeup you amazfit by touch. Do this, push the button, wait for display goes sleeping off and retouch it immediatly. If you wait (after sleep) more than 3 secs it doesn't wake up anymore (you must use the button to light it), but if you touch it within 2-3 second after sleep off it wakes up. This is a sleep preprogrammed time off. So they can revert this parameter and rewrite its behaviour.
