Double tap to wake

[Rdeniro67]

I got the phone today, any information why double tap to wake is not possible. or activated ?

 

[Curunir]

I have no idea, but I would also very much like to know. I miss my double tap...!

Same here, just received the phone: Quality seems quite good but I'm surprised this basic functionality (double tap to wake) is not available.
From what I read, if it's not implemented at kernel level then no apps can bring it to the phone ...

If anyone has more info, that would be great!

As an alternative this app can be tried. It wakes the device up by wave gesture.
It must be checked if Mi A2 Lite still goes to deep sleep mode and doesnt stay awake when app is active (hint by dev that some devices have problems)
Also it must be checked if Fingerprint is working without any issues like re-enter PIN after fingerprint unlock

Same problem, got the phone last saturday... it seems that the oreo version has it but our phone's didn't...

This ROM is extremely light so they removed most of the common features.
Let's just wait for a semi-official Lineage release for A2L.

Or you can wait until someone builds a kernel for this device. Many Kernels enable tap to wake functionally.

I thought the finger print sensor would make tap to wake useless lol.

I got the phone 3 days ago. Double-tap to wake works from day one.
I really wish I could turn it OFF.
Ambient Light is Off, TalkBalk is Off but phone still wakes up in my pocket all the time.
Anyone know how to turn this feature Off please?

As it turns out, this phone comes with two types of display CSOT & EBBG.On csot, the double tap works, but it can not be turned off, and on ebbg it does not work.

yes stock launcher and even if i install alternative launcher, since not rooted, every tme i lock screen with double tap to sleep it asks for pin, sequence or other, very annoying...

Strangely, on my A2 Lite, double tap only wakes up the screen. Double tapping when screen is awake does nothing at all.

I emailed Xiaomi Support about this, asking how I could disable the waking up. The reply came from Xiaomi Support Malaysia:

Go to the Settings - Select Accessibility - Select advanced settings - Turn on the pocket mode option​

I replied, "There is no Advanced Settings under Accessibility. There is also no setting available when I search for pocket or double or tap twice."

Their advice was to backup and perform a Factory Reset, which I think is nonsense.

so there are 2 version of A2 Lite which has and has no double tap to wake, we have to accept it as they are, but which is better or worse?
