Anyone else trying to double tap other devices to wake? ;-)

I have a Moto X(2013) for my work phone and I'm constantly double tapping to wake the screen ;-)even though it's not a feature on that phone. I definitely love this feature.

I do it all the time and looking for the back buttons . My wife laughs when I do it to her note 4
 
I must admit I find myself tapping every device now, lol.

Yes....and it's worrying when you start doing it to things other than phones. I can only apologise to my cat.

Let me save you some time....it doesn't work on electric shavers, either.

Don't have a G3, but I have a tap to wake on my M8. When I do that to my Nexus, it takes me a minute to figure out why it isn't working.

From an AOSP M8
 
I've found double tap to wake actually works on my wife. Especially if done on her forehead.
.

Give it a go (not on my wife. That would be odd)

Seriously though. I have a z10 (shudder), for work which wakes with a swipe up. I Keep doing double tap on it and swipe up on my g3

Yep, all the time on my iPad, sometimes two or three times before I realize what I'm doing. Ha
 
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has this problem :). When the double tap doesn't work, I look for the power button on the back. It seems like an eternity to finally wake a non-G3 once I'm done tapping and fumbling around for a power button.
 
^^^There is an option for disabling the tap-to-wake feature in the Service Menu, if that's of any interest to you....though I believe that the codes for accessing that do not always work with some carrier versions.

I spent my first 2 weeks on android trying to wake it up by swiping up from the bottom bezel...
