Double tap to power off feature in Lumia Cyan?

[Aswin Smart]

I've heard that Lumia cyan has the ability to turn the phone off by double tapping.Is it true?I have L520.Will it work on my phone guys?

 

[MARKjotep]

I guess this will be true since Display settings has been updated by nokia before lumia Cyan.

For how it works. I guess it will only be applicable at the lock screen? For there is no empty space at the start screen.

I think u are right MARK.Yesterday,I got that display update.

 

[Aswin Smart]

Lock screen switch could be there I think

AFAIK display settings has nothing to do with tapping, that would go under touch settings.

 

[Aswin Smart]

Yes, double tap to power off feature is only in touch settings.

 

[Aswin Smart]

As power on feature is in it.

Double tap to power off would be nice.
I would always like to have a small button appeared on the screen to quickly lock my screen. There are apps out there which pins a tile on your start screen and if you press it the screen gets locked. But id like to have a button which will be always visible in every window and it will be moveable.
What do you think guys?

 

[Aswin Smart]

Very nice if your thinking would be available.

No, never ever!!!

I would never use my power button again! This'd be awesome!

 

[Zulfigar]

Wouldn't it be part of the Touch settings, not Display?

Double tap while awake not possible.
To power off that is

 

[Qtweeder]

it should be triple tap to power off (for accidental?) and double tap whilst awake to turn display off, reverse of dbl.tap to wake

A not-so-essential feature for me then..i don't turn off my phone too often..unwanted/accidental shut downs may happen if double tap will be used as a trigger..

Sounds 'iphone-ish' hehehe..

Yes i know but as long as the features are good who cares if its iphone-ish or android-ish.
Some common features will always be similar to the other OSes. EVERYTHING can't be different
Some ppl go screaming like "heyy its from ios! Heyy its from android! Hah copy cats!" They seem so immature!
I'm not saying it to you Albertdon, I'm saying it in general, plz dnt get me wrong.

This makes no sense because a single tap performs an action. If the phone now has to wait to perform a touch action because it has to see if a second tap is coming, that's going to slow the UI actions or app launching down. One tap on the lock screen also bounces the lock screen. I just don't see how double-tap to turn off makes sense.
