This was a VERY tough decision for me..

Knocking on the status bar works to turn off the screen on Nova Launcher by default. That's the stock workaround on Nova since the LG g3.

Duh. Thanks. Totally forgot about that.

But, I made it today. Cancelled my preorder for the Pixel XL 128gb and ordered the V20, will get it tomorrow. After last night, handling both, I just loved the big screen on the V20, thought it looked great. Yes, was a little cooler, but that's fine.

I had the V10, was a nice device, but the battery life was horrible. Just hope this one doesnt have the boot loop issues down the road. I did test the speakers, sounded great, even at half volume in the store. I bought this mainly due to the screen and DAC just due to always listening to music.

Felt very light and sturdy as well

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like quite a few people are dumping the Pixel and going for a V20. The V20 is definitely a great competitor. Apparently the DAC is really good (if you like music) ^_^

A few issues.

1) I noticed the knock feature doesn't work well with launchers. The stock theme sucks, but I like the knock on feature. Any ideas?

I've found the finger print sensor to be the fastest way to unlock the phone so I haven't even used knock on and I really enjoyed it on my g2 and g3. The best part is it doesn't require you to push the button first and its much more accurate than the note 7.

The finger print scanner works great.I use that.

That's true. But I don't always pick up my phone. Pretty annoying if you actually did have to use the finger print scanner to unlock the phone only. But I do like the addition.

With nova launcher free version you have to double tap the notification bar. With Nova Launcher Prime you can set the double tap.

But when I set double tap for "blank", nothing happens. But tapping the notification bar is better than nothing.
