If you happen to own the LG G2, then you might be pleased to know that the LG G2 still has some life left in its legs, as it has just received a new software update that would bring along with it the Knock Code feature. Just for those who are not in the know, Knock Code happens to be an extension of LG Knock, where it enables one to turn the smartphone or tablet on and off through a simple double tap on the display. LG Knock works better when it comes to devices that do not have any kind of physical home buttons, and after using it for a while, feedback has been positive, since it is convenient to tap a sleeping handset to let it wake up without having to actually pick up the handset.

The LG G3 has a cool feature called Knock Code. It’s an extension of LG Knock, which allows you to turn your phone or tablet on and off with a simple double tap on the display. For devices without physical home buttons, it’s really useful to just tap on a sleeping phone and have it wake up without having to actually lift it. Props to LG for implementing this feature on its hardware! Knock Code is similar, but more secure. You can create a password by tapping four parts of a square in any order you like, with three to eight taps, and it will become your lock screen code. To unlock the device, you just tap in a square in whatever order you set. This doesn’t even have to be done in the middle of the display; it can be done anywhere. And best of all, you can do it with the display off and bypass the lockscreen entirely. The AT&T LG G2 is now receiving an update to implement this feature. It doesn’t change the Android version, but is solely dedicated to adding Knock Code (as well as enhance Calendar and Exchange Active Sync). It’s awesome that LG released an update just for that, and I’m sure owners of the device will enjoy this feature. Have you tried Knock Code yet? Leave a comment!
