It works fine on the Lg G2, I don't see why it would be a problem now. If they implement double tap to wake, then they can just remove my power button and save them some money.

Well not everyone uses that you know cause of battery concerns.. And how are you going to switch off the phone without power button?? Triple tap?

It'd be great if there was an official tap to lock shortcut, a simple tile that locks the device instead of the power button. There are some third party apps that do that in the store that either not free or require unnecessarily access and I find them to drain battery. We need this basic option to be made by the OS.

Guys!Now just search for power tiles in the store. Then, install the trial version.but,the trial is supported for lock screen. Other functions won't work on 8.1 dev. Preview. Go to the application and long press the lock screen icon. The lock screen tile will be available in the start screen. Then, you can tap it and lock your screen in a single click.😁

You guys are really sick. Double tap won't slow down the device. Because it just a touch signal.

You missed the point, double-tap your screen right now over any tile. What happens? How do you propose they fix the issue of an app launching on the first tap?

The same way a single click on Winows selects an icon, and a double click launches it.

There is a double tap to unlock the device, why MS should add the SAME action for a DIFFERENT result..? I don't understand it...
Now the question is: how often do you turn off the device? Ok, let's suppose you will be able to turn off the phone by double tapping. And the answer is... NEVER. Yeah, you heard me right. NEVER. So why they should add it?

Edit 1: Try to think why you need to keep the power button pressed for ~5 sec to turn off the phone (applies for EVERY phone on the planet).
