What? Ever used an Android device? Tap to wake is super useful and makes perfect sense if no physical home button.
- majewsky 9y agoThe only thing that annoys me is that there is no reverse tap-to-wake. 1. Double-tap on the screen. Lockscreen appears. 2. Check the clock. 3. Fumble annoyedly until finding the power button to turn the screen off.
- jclardy 9y agoActually thinking about it...if Apple did a force touch to wake it could be pretty awesome. So a light press would turn on the screen on low brightness, slowly building up as you increase pressure. Let go and it turns off, commit to the press and you are in.
- la_oveja 9y agoIn my android if you double-tap the notification bar it'll lock the device.
- kyriakos 9y agoDouble tap on notification bar turns the screen off on most Android phones.
- UnoriginalGuy 9y agoAgreed. My LG G2 had that, and it was absolutely fantastic; but no phone since then has had double tap to turn off, only on. I guess they're worried about false positives. But LG solved this by only allowing double tap to turn off from any of the default apps (home screen, notifications, settings, etc). You had to quit out of third party apps to turn it off that way.
- jasonkostempski 9y agoYou know what's even more useful? A physical button, for literally everything except infrequent single tap actions (i.e. not typing) and zooming in. Even for those, I'd prefer a device be required to do it instead of my skin so I can hold the phone like I can a pad of paper.
