Hello. Me too had the same problem. This function is not working properly as @hig said. Sometimes I had to tap over and over to wake the screen up. Using this function is great, but how to improve it so that I only need to tap the screen only ONE two taps to wake it up.

Actually it needs some practice, you need two gentle taps on the upper third of the phone (around the place where the clock shows on lock screen), tapping too hard or tapping on the lower part of the phone will require repeating the tapping more than one time. This is from my personal experience.

Thank you Quester. So we have to practise to get used to it. Well we'll practise.

No, actually try my instructions, and if it still needs more taps when you take your mobile from your pocket then it might be wise to check the phone at a service center.

I think that the sensor responsible for detecting the taps is place in that spot I mentioned.

Thank you Quester. If you tap on the lower part of the screen gently, it will be awaken. If you also try to wake the phone up from wherever you want, it will wake up. I think that we have to tap in a certain timable taps. I've tried it and it worked from wherever you want on the screen. Could you try it too and post the results here if you can. Thanks.

Nope, you can tap anywhere on the screen and still it wont reapond. It will take a few secs sometimes before it wakes up and by that time you're already pissed off...

From my experience, its double tap is software protected. I believe that double tap is pressure and/or time and/or location dependable.

Try this:
Put phone on table, use two fingers, touch lower part then upper part (2nd finger) of screen fast (less than one mouse click time, its 0.2sec) with low pressure, just touch like when u typing SMS. What happens? NOTHING.

Now repeat faster, touch up down up down up down with first and second finger. I just did it 6x and it didnt wake up. It isnt supposed to wake up like that, by mistake.

Try to touch second touch as close as possible to previous one, try to press it just 0.1 longer than you used to touch screen, use whole finger when double taping, not just top of finger.

Just dont try to unlock it in hurry... u will get used to it...

Well it's a double tap on any spot of your screen but the trick is taping with your finger flat... Not with the tip of your finger.
It worked for me.
