Double Tap to Shut Screen Off

[TheKingsEighth]

Not sure if anyone else noticed this while using the phone but you can shut the screen off by double tapping the navigation bar at the bottom. They can incorporate this but not to wake the phone :eck:

That article isn't about double tap to wake, just the glance app (which has already been updated).

pretty sure programming a double tap on a small portion on the screen, while it's on, to shut off the screen is a bit easier than the other way around.

Give it time, as not all features are final yet.

For the shut off feature, the capacitive screen is ALREADY ON. Of course, it's easy to implement. My low end Lumia 635 has this.

For the wake up feature, the screen is off or in some low power mode. Very different scenario.

Double Tap Nav Bar to Sleep was implemented in 8.1 Update 2 for Software Nav Bar.

I've yet to use it as my devices have capacitive keys. I haz a sad.

I'm sure Daniel Rubino said in the AMA he believes that Double Tap to Wake is coming in a firmware update.

This isn't on by default, by the way. And strangely, the setting is located under Settings > Personalization > Lock Screen

I have an unlocked (dual sim) us version, checked every update but I don't see these touch settings

I only have a single option vibrate when I tap the navigation keys.

Yes you do, you're looking right at it.

That article is about the touch settings UI being changed. That has nothing to do with what options are going to be there.

oh you mean double tap to wake is not going to be available on lumia 950?

 

[tanders04#WN]

Don't know. Seems that way to me, but I've got no idea.

I have to think that this is just a driver issue. The phone is active when asleep as both hey Cortana and the ability to wave your hand over it to bring up the glance screen are functional.

Double tap to wake was annoying to me. I'd always forget to turn it off and my phone would constantly come on in my pocket and especially while working out. Even in the times where I didn't have to worry about movement waking the phone I found myself rarely using it so I ended up disabling it permanently. Pressing the power button is fine with me and easier to do with one hand on these gigantic phones (please send a memo to the phone Gods to stop making them bigger).

Just test it on my 950 and it works. Thanks!
I remember Double Tap to Wake has a reminder that it may consume more battery power. Thoughtful~
