What I found out is that the timing of the two knocks is less important, what is more important is to keep the finger on the screen after the second knock. After the second knock just keep it on the screen until you see the LED lights up, and you'll see how more efficient it will become.
[G2 General] Fraxon:
Im tapping on every other device since I have my LG!
[G2 General] amankapoor4:
i go knock knock knock, it almost always helps.
[G2 General] rfarrah:
Excellent information; exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
[G2 General] addicted1900:

[G2 General] Omnigaia:
I noticed most of the time when Knock On fails for me is because the phone isn't on a solid flat surface for example while I'm holding it in my hand or while it's on my bed.

This makes me think the accelermeter is used for this feature. So if you have too much "suspension", it won't trigger.

Just my thoughts!

Edit: I just tested with incredibly light touches and it still worked so perhaps it isn't accelerometer enabled. =S
[G2 General] jayochs:
yeah, i hear if you say "knock knock" out loud as you do it, it works EVERY time.
[G2 General] dai75:
Great tip

Exactly what i was looking for although still a bit slow compared with what i had with my Nexus 4 and the touch control app. But at least I just do Knock knock once.
[G2 General] drtchocky:
That really does work everytime.
[G2 General] jordache16:
Nice tip. I have been playing around with suggestions that I have seen elsewhere but yours seems to be the most consistent (I've done it 25+ times now in a row with your technique). I've even tried changing the rate at which I do the knocks (fast versus slow) and have also tapped on different parts of the screen. It seems like the key is leaving your finger on the screen on the second knock.

Previously some things that I read to increase the success rate were (each with mixed results):

- Always tap on the top of the phone (where the notification bar would be)

- Always tap three times instead of two

- Tap once and then pause slightly and then tap twice

On a side note, does anyone know how this feature works exactly? Is it simply the digitizer detecting the taps on the screen or is there something else going on?
[G2 General] kamiel:
I tried tapping on the back of the phone. This didn't work so the at least use the touchscreen for the knock knock feature.
[G2 General] sweets55:
LoL
[G2 General] jordache16:
Ya, after doing some more testing, it must be the touchscreen. The reason I thought it may have been something else is I have gotten it to work by tapping in the top right corner of the phone (presumably not on the screen) but that's probably b/c the bezel is so small. I haven't been able to get it to work along the bottom of the phone (over the LG logo).

This as well!!!

I hate it bc that's how I was when the first iPhone came out...made me want to pinch to zoom my laptop screen. Now I find myself tapping the iphone or laptop to unlock but get mad when they don't lol
[G2 General] xegi:
Knock On feature to turn screen on doesn't work if proximity sensor is covered (try to cover it and tap the screen - it will stay off). Also phone needs a short while to detect the sensor is not covered anymore. So if you pull out your phone out of a pocket and immediately try to turn screen on it simply won't work at first try. Second usually does the job. I've never really had a problem with unlocking the phone while it's on the table or something, when the sensor isn't (or wasn't two seconds ago) covered by anything.

So the reason of our problem is slow response from proximity sensor, it's super fast to detect the sensor is covered, but a lot slower to detect it's uncovered. (You can test it during the phone call - you'll see what I mean).

The solution is just wait a second after you pull out your phone from pocket or after you holding it the way it covers or is near the proximity sensor. I don't think guys triple knocking or keeping your finger on the screen is really helpful. ?

Maybe it can be fixed somehow by our devs, make the proximity sensor reacts quicker.
[G2 General] rfarrah:
Probably does that so it won't come on by "knocking" in your pocket. Not a big deal for me at all. And the OP's method is working 100% of the time fur me. No need for 3 knocks any more.
[G2 General] Ajoli:
I'd like to confirm what don't others have said and say that the most common mistake is tapping too fast.

Correct that the knock on only uses the sensor to avoid turning the screen on in your pocket.

However, if the touch screen constantly listens for these knocks while it is turned off, shouldn't that consume at least a considerable amount of battery?
[G2 General] flindil:
this is an excellent tip, thanks! I went from knock knock knock knock, to knock knock and hold and its worked every time for me..
[G2 General] Rayan:
Exellent tip thanks!

Works 100% of the time now! :good::victory::laugh:

This tip however, does not apply to turn off the device. Two quick taps (and release) takes care of that always!

Cheers!
[G2 General] abhishekSPS:
noob question

sorry for this really really dumbass question but when u say "After the second knock just keep it on the screen until you see the LED lights up"

i infer 1 knock (tap and lift finger) and then 2nd one is not actually a knock (tap and lift finger) but just tap and keep ur finger there itself

or

is it 2 knocks and then (after second lift of finger) jst touch the screen again :D

good i really feel like dumbest dumb on this planet asking this question but please do reply

i dont yet have g2 but planning on buying it so i cant confirm myself what u meant

[G2 General] sanke1:
If the phone is inactive for an extended period, even this technique fails. It only wakes up after multiple taps. But once it has woken up, then I get 100% success rate at Knock off and Knock on.

Thanks for the tip though.

Sorry. Maybe this has been reported before. I think that Sprint phones have different hidden menu with less options.
[G2 General] Trixanity:
I find that there's a significant delay if the proximity sensor has been covered.

And has, as have probably been mentioned, no effect at all if it is covered while trying to use knock on - in order to prevent pocket triggers.

Generally, I don't really have issues with knock on.

Hi everyone

been using drchairs method of modifying the extended rom.

everything works fine till i flash the image back again. just get a checksum error and a download failed.

my files then dont load

is there a fix for this, and how do we calc the checksum
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] oltp:
You can always go for the .exe method, unless there's no shipped rom available which you wanna use. I belief this error is usual, must be something else what went wrong. Did you use a modified rom from yourself or a downloaded one, in that case don't forget to transfer your id on the new rom, first 416 bytes I belief.

cheers, M

Issue I am having it when I try to boot it it will get to the s2 splash screen then it just repeats it. And yes I even tried odin to no avail. Same issue still persists. any idea to a solution? It appears I can only access download mode, no recovery, or normal booting.

EDIT: Fixed that issue...now trying to remember how to flash the CWR on it :( haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
You don't install CWR on our phone, it's included in the custom kernels.

You need figure out which firmware version you're running, such as Gingerbread, Jellybean etc. Then flash a compatible kennel and you'll have the recovery you want.

Hello everyone,

i want to install a custom Rom, unlocked the Bootloader and tried to install CWM by using LeBobo's Recovery Flasher v1.4. I get a success-message in the command prompt, but it seems that CWM isn't installed. When i reboot into Recovery i get a broken Android Symbol.

I have attached two Pictures, perhaps you know what to do now?!

Thank you very much! :o
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hill-Climber:
Getting the broken Andriod symbol is normal.

You need to press Vol+ and Vol- together to get into the menu.

I have found that you need to press and release them both together about 4 times to get in. But I'm only on the stock recovery so CWM may be a little different.

Hope you find a way in!!

Hello everyone i'm new on this site and I just want to share and need help on my current problem on my LG Optimus G Pro F240k

I start experiencing this unusual behavior after i download a movie then had an error while downloading the file

after that i noticed my g pro is heating up even though i'm not using it and even a I closed all the recent apps that i opened

from my cpu-z app i monitored the temp of my unit and surprisingly my unit is heating up to 46c wihtout using it so what i did is to turn in off

and when i turn it on after 2-3mins it started to heat up again so that's the time I tried to install cpu task manager app "Watchdog" with the use of this app it detected a linux process "migration/x" that use 99.9% of each cores that why it easily heats up my unit,

at this moment I turn off my unit and looking for some solution if there still some way to fix it.

I have a maxx and would have waited and bought the Dev edition had I known they were releasing one. I bought the code and yes it was a hassle to navigate the site. But I have a Dev maxx for 340.00 dollars. 300 for the phone 40 for the code. And I don't have to waste an upgrade now and sell my maxx. Would I do this again no in the future I will use one of my upgrades sell it then by a Dev phone. For me this was the only option at this time so I took the chance hell it was 40 bucks. It worked out so I am happy that I don't have to check this thread every 5 minutes to see if anyone achieved root. Just to start to worry when the next update comes out and root is lost again. I will never buy another locked phone. I can't deal with this anymore it seems root consumes my life sometimes. I truly hope those of you that don't get unlocked achieve root. My advice just get the code if you can and put all this stuff in the rearview mirror.
[Moto X General] ThaSik1:
Totally sucks they are charging high dollar for the code but I guess they gotta get paid how they can. I would love to unlock my MMX just to tinker with a few of the Roms in the forums but $40 is kinda steep. Does anyone know if VZW can patch the bootloader with an update later down the road, making the investment worthless? Also would root be just as easy to attain as the Dev edition once it was unlocked?
[Moto X General] chiefnoah:
Seen as its giving it an unlock code, then unlocking itself there should be no way to detect the difference from a legit one. It isn't necessarily a hack, getting the code is the hack. Root should be as easy as flashing a superSU zip but you can get root without an unlocked bootloader, its just more involved

I hate to say this but 40 bucks to have a phone that costs 650 ( full retail for Dev phone) is dirt cheap. I can't believe anyone thinks that is steep.

This is for the life of this phone never having to worry about root again to me that is priceless.
