It is sad to see that gesture to wake up from theS9 was replaced in the S10 by Lift to wake, which is actually kinda useless, well we have double tap to wake, but gesture to wake was way more badass, you felt like a jedi waking up the screen of your phone.
I used to have it enabled too. I guess it's true there is no real proximity sensor anymore ?

Furthermore the option to just call a contact by putting the phone against your ear is now gone too.... I hate when Samsung remove features from their flagships.... How hard is it for them to just use a normal proximity sensor inside or next to the speaker? Major disappointment.

To my surprise, I really started to like this feature. It comes in very handy on a larger phone than I am used to. The first few days I owend the phone the feature worked flawlessly, but eventually it became much less responsive. Rarely it will work on the first try. If I take the phone away and then bring it back to my ear, or switch ears, it works about half the time. I usually end up swiping to answer so that I don't miss the call.
I'm not root and have only disabled or deleted a small number of apps such as Sprint Discovery.
EDIT: Just happened again. From a flat surface to my ear - nothing. Switch ears and it worked. Seems the more motion the phone makes on its way to the ear, the better it responds. Frustrating.
Don't smack yourself in the face with it with the extra motion . You could seriously mess up the beautiful display. And I'm with you. The gesture has gotten a bit more finicky on my VS980.
Possibly you may need to recalibrate the motion sensor (Settings -> General -> Gestures -> Motion Sensor Calibration). Also, is is the proximity sensor clear (no screen protector, etc.)?

Thanks - and I have to be careful not to damage the phone screen as well.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I already re calibrated and made sure the prox sensor stayed clean and clear.
Do bugs like this (and knock-on unresponsiveness) usually get addressed with future updates?
Since we already have a low power sensor chip which can detect nudge, do you think developers will be able to add low power DT2W functionality to this phone?
I feel google mad a major miss by not adding it.
What's the point of DT2W when you have a fingerprint scanner that you litterally just tap and it turns on and unlocks the phone

I have an anecdotal scenario where double-tap would be useful. I prop up my Nexus 6P on a stand on my desk while I work, and when I hear the notification sound it would be nice to just double-tap my screen to see what it is. I don't really want to pick up the device for that. First world problems...but still.
I would really love a way to enable dt2w only when the phone is flat (like on a table) because it's so annoying when my skin somehow activates it through my jeans. I'm guessing this is why they did not include it.. pocket dialing and pocket photos should be a thing of the past but with dt2w it happened a lot.
On the Nexus 6, there was a hidden Double tap to wake feature that was disabled. I'll have to have a further look at the source when it becomes available.
If there isn't one hidden then dt2w can always be ported over from other phones.
It should be noted that dt2w is only useful when combined with software that prevents double tap to wake when the phone is in your pocket and low-power dt2w.
When it is sitting on my desk and i want to wake it up? Don't tell me nudge, cause its ridiculous to have to push my phone around

It can easily be avoided by combining with on body detection and or proximity sensor.

Thats the big Q, is will be low power, in theory you already have the code for nudge.. so if that is not proprietary blob then we would have a look into the low power sensor array..
Exactly as title says. Anyone else have the official clear view case from Samsung? Does AOD work when your cover is closed? Would be pretty convenient and for some reason Samsung decided not to include this handy feature...
It's a limitation I think.
AOD require light sensor, proximity sensor and some other sensor to work. The cover render these sensor useless and then may cause problem with AOD, so that's what I think why samsung disable it.

Well the proximity sensors work when talking on the phone with the cover closed... Seems like to me this can be implemented with a minor update.

Are you sure?
I'm not sure about how this kind of case work on new device but I used to have S-view case on my old s4 and it doesn't use proximity sensor to turn display off when calling with cover closed but use motion sensor to detect the movement of the phone to guess whether I'm holding my phone close to my face (and it fail sometimes)
Maybe you can test this by placing your phone on the table when recieving call. Without moving the phone, try cover the proximity sensor and see whether the screen is off.

You are correct sir, it does not use the proximity sensors when the clear cover is on. But even with that, it uses the phone's other sensors to wake and sleep the screen... Why can't this be applied to the AOD? Just a little thing that would be nice to have.

Because AOD use proximity sensor to detect whether your phone is in the pocket and turn itself off to save battery. Motion sensor can't do that. Also for motion sensor to detect your movement it need to be on all the time, thus massive battery drain.
Wondering if theirs a baked kernel that has a raise to wake feature. Installing a 3rd party app might cost wake time. And I love the feature on my iOS10. Doubletap to wake is nice but raise to wake it a bit more convenient during a hang over.

What exactly did raise to wake? Please explain for non apple users [emoji5]

He means waking device using motion/proximity sensor..
Like moto display
You pick up the phone, display gets on for 2,3 sec... shows notification and time..
Not sure but maybe it is called ambient display.
Hey Guys. No problem strongst. Not everyone uses an idevice. yea its a upward motion sensor that lights up the screen. Exactly what Vikas mention on his 3rd line post. But I dont think its a proximity sensor or has anything to do with ambient.
Ive tried a few 3rd party apps and they didn't work very well. Also you have to pick it up in a angle, and what's annoying is when the screen is off you carry it and tilt it in an angle the screen lights up. 3rd party apps also have to be always whitelisted in my batt saving settings because it needs to be always active to work. I am getting 3 days on battery and would like to keep it that way

I'm sure you can make such things with Tasker,but it's wast of battery in my opinion to much false positives I think.

I'm hoping to get double tap to wake function working so that I don't have to pick up the phone when it's resting on a surface.
Anyone have double tap to wake feature working on their Pro 3?
Which Xposed module are you using?
Thanks.
Not Xposed module but this one works for me. Just a hiccup when combined with FP unlock.

Interesting, I always thought DT2W needed kernel support. Have you had any false wakes in your pocket? That was always what killed it for me on phones that didn't have it stock. They would randomly wake up in my pocket (not using light sensor clearly)

Well it definitely has effect on battery. I will do some test today and get back here.

That's not a real double tap to wake. The app just runs an all black wall paper as 'off'. Since the Le pro 3 has an lcd rather than AMOLED screen, it would have a huge impact on battery life.

Well as far as my eyes can see, it does wake and shut of screen. Try it first before making any wild guess.
--------------
I stand corrected, yes it does turn the screen blank only as soon as you turn of the screen via power button or the nifty (hold back) button.
So if you are not gonna use it like overnight doze or in your pocket, turn off the screen twice to make sure it is really turned off.
