Hi, 'Tap to Wake' has always been a bit hit & miss i'm afraid.....could be the screen protector you have fitted but on my Z2 i have no screen protector fitted......sometimes my screen wakes first time & sometimes like you it takes 3 -5 times before it comes on.

also a lot of people say the wake up tap does some issues in calls and

drop calls and proximity sensor

Hi, never experieced those before but have heard about it affecting/cmaking the screen 'come on' during a call thus your face/ear activating apps etc

I'm having the same issue. Sometimes its first time, others can take several attempts.

I find its worse when taking out of a pocket. Like the constant touches whilst in a pocket confuses it that it needs to reset some timer or counter.

I found performance on 4.4.2 better than on 4.4.4.... It use to work everytime but since the update is find it a bit hit and miss, but it's a convenient feature that doesn't annoy me..

So what if I have to tap 4 times instead of 2 I have better things to worry about 😛
