How to disable screen wake on double-tap

General
1

I wanted to post here the steps to solve this issue since it solved my problem. This solution was provided to me by user Guido in matrix chats but I figure it’s easier to find it in the forum:

  • if there is no toggle for double-tap-to-wake in Settings, Display, do

> gsettings set org.droidian.MobileSettings touchpanel-double-tap-available true

  • now that it appears in Settings, disable the function there
  • then type

> sudo systemctl mask dt2w

  • then reboot

I feel like this options should ideally appear in Settings by default; and (2) the default setting (whether it appears or not in Settings) should be for it to be off… I don’t think people want the phone turning on in their pockets/bags… or maybe that’s just me.

On which device? Devices which have double tap to wake support in mobile-settings should be able to enable/disable that from the Settings app.

But dt2w is specific to some ports in particular (oneplus3?) so you would indeed need to disable that.

Sorry I forgot to mention: it’s a pixel 3a.
