Solved - Double Tap to Wake not working since upgrading to 5.1

[Guest djl208]

I have just upgraded to 5.1 via the official UK download from Vodafone, and everything went smoothly.  Only issue is that double tapping no longer wakes the screen for me.  I have rebooted to see if that cleared the issue, but no luck.  The double tap was one of the great features of the phone and I don't want to be without it.  Has anyone else had this problem and if so have they found a cure?

Forgot this was activated in settings - don't know how to delete this post

For me it's very temperamental as well!.. Approximately 1 out of 5 tries it works but only with triple tapping sometimes quadruple tapping is needed on the main screen, however, I found that triple tapping the home capacitive button works most of the time ( around 8-9 times out of 10 ), it's rare but double tapping the button works, but again it quite rare that this works on the home key!..

I do however have a glass screen protector put on it, which might be the cause for concern as it was put on the phone before I was able to update to 5.1.1 and I didn't try the tap to wake function until I activated it so have no experience of comparing the difference on it for whence it was on 5.0.1!..

Any ways, hope my suggestion helps with your tap to wake issue!..

My 2pence worth done...

Don't assume it's just the SU6 with this issue - sometimes my Lumia 640 XL does this too, and needs multiple attempts to wake it.
