TapGestureRecognizer only recognizing double taps on Galaxy S6

This code works correctly on the nexus 4 xamarin simulator but when debugging on my Galaxy S6 Edge command methods are only executed with double taps. I have tried it with and without defining the NumberOfTaps = 1. Has anyone seen this behavior? I am using version 1.4.4.6392.
CODE:

    <ContentView >
    <ContentView.GestureRecognizers>
        <TapGestureRecognizer  Command="{Binding CmdShowPlCreator}" CommandParameter="New" /> 
    </ContentView.GestureRecognizers>
    <Image x:Name="btnNewPlaylist" HeightRequest="25" WidthRequest="25" >
     <Image.Source>
        <OnPlatform x:TypeArguments="ImageSource">
            <OnPlatform.iOS><FileImageSource File="new_btn.png" /></OnPlatform.iOS>
                <OnPlatform.Android><FileImageSource File="new_btn.png" /></OnPlatform.Android>
            </OnPlatform>
        </Image.Source>
    </Image>
    </ContentView>
