The Moto X wakes up anytime you move it or pull it out of your pocket/holster etc - which is its best feature! Why would you need to double tap it?
i have a nexus 4 first
and love that feature
maybe because it s different the active display and what it does double tap to wake

I don't know the answer to your question but the Moto X wakes up with one tap now. You want to increase that to two taps?
yes sort of it

I wouldn't mind it having double tap those situations it is already sitting on the desk or something. You could always just say Ok google now then hit home.

Sorry but if you're working and hands are filthy.. It's easier to double knock.

I think skip track and volume should be a touchless control. Shower radio!

OP is talking about a feature like Knock On, which is on the LG G2.

Two taps, and your phone is unlocked.

One tap on my X does nothing. Moving brings up the active notification screen, which then requires a swipe to unlock it. None of these are like the Knock On feature.

I would love to see this feature as well. My phone sits on my desk at work. I'd love to be able to wake it, or unlock it just by tapping the screen twice. I know I can pick it up or move it around, but the double tap would be more convenient.

its not just faux kernel, on the nexus 4 a lot of kernels supported slide to wake, double tap to wake etc.. including franco, matr1x, slimroms, etc.. it was a special app i think it might have worked on stock kernel as well.

I realize it's not a specific built in function but the Moto X will wake if you double, or single, tap it. What more are you looking for?

It came from faux kernel, read the thanks note in the kernel description, Faux is in the credit. Franco specifically do not and will not implement that feature to his kernel, he said so in the FAQ, it's available through third party modules. The app you refer to is Touch Control.

Mine does not wake if I single or double tap it. I've only used the VZW versions though.

Maybe you are moving it when you are tapping it!

oh ok, i didn't know that it was to his credit. Yes thats the app i'm referring to.

but as many have said, the slightest movement or vibration will wake up the moto x, so don't really need it.. Yes if its on a desk or something it will move slightly. I don't think it would wake up if it doesn't actually move.

If you want it to turn on active notifications while it is sitting face up on a desk all you have to do is push a little bit on the bottom.

It's called "knock on" on the LG G2. Tap the screen twice without moving the phone and it unlocks. I'm certain this is the feature being requested on the moto x.

On most screens you can also double tap to lock/turn off the screen. I would love to have this feature.

Here's the nexus thread for the feature... anyone willing to try?
