Don't forget you can double tap to open/lock screen.

For all you new to LG, its quiet handy. Took me several weeks to find this out on the V10 last year, lol.

Can anyone with a V20 confirm this double tap ?

It had me set up 6 taps to wake up the screen ..... 6 !?!?

You can lock the screen and wake up the screen with the double tap but you can't login with just double tap if you are using security. The 6 knocks is knock pattern for security.

Its an LG feature, definitely on my V20. No way you should have to tap 6 times though!

Here is an explanation from the G5 (works the same): LG G5: Double Tap to Wake & Sleep

My bad and thank you both

My screen rarely ever sleeps since I have that setting for like 10 minutes so I'd have to use the 6 taps to UNLOCK actually.

Good to know that 2 taps can be used to wake it up. Thanks again !

I can, I use it a lot. Works great.

One of the few features that had me wooing on the G4. Really easy to get used to, too! Before the end of the week, I was double tapping on my work iPhone and the Note 5 I was comparing it to. (Note won).

Since I need something to replace the Note 7 with (and having already used two S7 Edges), I thought I might give LG a try again. Let's see how it fares or if it will be just a placeholder while the S8 comes out in Spring.

If you install Nova launcher, you also have the same option to double tap to turn on/ off screen on any android phone. Very useful as I missed this when I had an LG G4.

I believe you get the option to turn off (and buggy in some phones, IIRC), but to turn on? How? Does it keep the phone awake?

Blackberry has this feature and on my Note 5 SS does not have this in their OS which sucks
So I was happy to see when I got my son his V10 Friday it has it and looks like my V20 coming later this week has it also in the OS

It's supposed to work with 2 taps. Mine used to work flawlessly but lately I feel like I'm beating it up tapping on it. Its like it gets stuck or something and all I get is a black screen for 20 seconds until it wakes up. Very frustrating

You can also double tap the notification bar at ANY app screen to lock or turn off screen. The knock feature is my favorite and should be a standard on ALL smartphones, it's simple and useful.
