when LG introduced a new button layout to their lg g2 flagship phone it did beg a bit of a question when the phone is lying on its back on a table for example well what do you do in order to turn on the phone and turn it off subsequently well they did come up with a pretty elegant solution for that and it was called the knock-on essentially what happens is at any point with the phone screen turned off you can just double tap on the screen and it would turn on the screen easy for you to unlock it and get right into what you needed to do and for a lot of users out there it became a very important feature for their LG g2 S and so forth well in the LG G pro 2 they have won ahead and updated the knock-on into what is called the knock code and we're going to show you what it's all about so it's Josh regard from Andhra I thought hey what's going on everybody and this is a feature focus on the knock code for the LG G pro 2 all right and here is the LG G pro 2 just sitting on my desk right now and the knock-on works both ways by the way if I'm at the home screen and there's a blank area that I could just double tap on it would turn off the screen as well so of course with the button layout on the back and I'm not even able to press it because it's lying on its back obviously having the knock on is a very nice feature that allows me to just turn on the phone very easily and there it is so we'll go to the lock screen and I'll select the NOC code right here and it explains here you can create your own NOC code using the four corners of the screen now the four corners of the screen yes that would mean one two three four but it's also scalable so you can have a small area that allows you to just tap in what you would envision is the grid in that small area on the screen but you'll see that in a little bit basically we're going to tap quarters maybe up to eight times so at least two to eight times that's the that's the length of the code that they really want you to have so for me I'm going to do maybe something just a little bit nimble and quick something like that so six tabs right there wait continue do it one more time hit confirm and then you as you can see there there's an area just right there that you'll be able to tap on but there's also another way to get into the phone for whatever reason you forget what your pattern is so with that in mind we're just going to create a very quick backup pin in order to make it easy to get back in in case I forget the tap code or the NOC code rather so with the screen off we're going to take a look at the NOC code and see how it works I'm just going to envision a small area right here of a 2x2 four square grid and basically put in my pattern and there you go it jumped right into the OS it's just really quick allows you to get into the phone right away yeah maybe the NOC code that I created is a little bit lengthy but to me it's nice and quick if I just want to take a look at the phone real quick I'm just going to go over and look at the side and just go like that and I jump right into the phone it's really nice and easy to use and you can put as many patterns as you want in there I mean there are many combinations that you can think of so everyone will have a unique NOC code in order to get into their phone and it sort of provides a bit of a unique experience in terms of using your phone from a prone state right into the operating system and so there you have it for this look at the NOC code which is found in the LG G pro 2 it's one of the features that LG put into the new larger version of the g2 and it works very well it really works a treat you can always turn on the screen if you want to and then you can tap the sequence in order to get into the operating system but even then if you were to just have the phone in a prone state and just put in your code very easily it goes right into the operating system like no trouble at all so keep it tuned to Android Authority for all the best coverage we have more coverage of the LG G pro 2 including my full review coming very soon so make sure you stay tuned for that drop us likes on our videos because we love to see those thumbs up and to subscribe to our channel if you haven't already once you're done with all of that though make sure you head on over to android authority comm as well because we are your source for all things Android
