SUMMARY

Plasma Mobile seems to always enable double tap to wake. This means a user can double tap the screen when the screen is off, but the device isn't in deep sleep, to wake up the device.

The problem is that double tap to wake can not be disabled and that it activates when the phone is in a users pocket

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Plasma Mobile on a device
2. Put the device to sleep (ensure deep sleep/suspend is disabled or on a longer timeout)
3. Double tap the screen to wake up the device
4. Put device back to sleep
5. Put device in your pocket and check in a few minutes, the device will be awake from a double tap event

OBSERVED RESULT

The device wakes up in a pocket

EXPECTED RESULT

For the device to not wake up in a pocket. So either avoid double tap to wake based on light input, or at least allow users to disable the feature.
