I set lockscreen to unlock with just plain 'ole swiping. however, if I swipe right to left it pulls up the camera. I know you can unlock it, swiping in that direction, if you don't start with your finger on the far right side of the screen. but me and my fat thumbs have been programmed to do so since I've had a smart phone. so my question: how to I delete this feature? I'm rooted

While tinkering with google map's I noticed that the screen seems to respons to 2 seperate points? give it a try for yourself. I used my finger to move side to side and the pointer to move up and down, this worked together and independantly on my phone. If this is the case can we see software to support this function such as image resize and so on?????
P.S. a couple of other things to try.....
Hold volume up button and press the action button (this brings up the screen calibation)
I think this has been mentioned before but there is a easteregg in the weather screen
If you tap on the dark bar that says weather near the side Left then Right it run's a demo of the various animations.
I don't think it's multi touch, it just finds the mean of the two points you press. It's the same if you use two fingers in some touch pads at laptops. Try this and you may understand what I'm talking about. Start google maps and touch the left part of the screen. While keeping your finger down, touch the right part and see when happens. With both fingers down, release the left finger and see what happens. This is due to the way the touch screen works, but it's definitely not multitouch.
Good tips for the screen calibration and the animations demo (although it doesn't show all animations - I didn't see the fog animation )
So I'm not sure it was a gesture or if it's even limited to Chrome. But I was messing around with the screenshot gesture and my chrome turned into a small window. It had a little bar across the top you could close completely, or full screen, and even the dots to resize the window.
How do I use this again? I can't figure out how to make it work again.. lol.
Thanks!

I believe what you're looking for is dragging down from the top left or right corner. This should shrink down the app you're looking at where you can then go back to full screen mode, move around the shrunken size, or pop it into a bubble form.
So, since the marshmallow update, my pattern lock condenses to the bottom left/right quarter or the screen, which, with my giant sausage thumbs, is far too small to accurately input my pattern. Does anyone know of a way to make it full screen again, or is there a setting I'm just too blind to see?

It's a setting. Go to Settings --> Advanced Features --> One-handed operation and the bottom toggle needs to be off. At least that's how it works on my Sprint Note 5
You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.
I am finding it quite annoying that you swipe up, but the lock screen moves left (and the whole tinted screen moves with it). I'm guessing there is no way to change it, so it moves up instead.
My last phone was the Z3 Compact and there you swipe up, and the pattern moves up with the lock screen. It made sense.
I'm annoyed by the visual discrepancy as well, but thankfully I rarely have to interact with it since fingerprint unlock is so quick, accurate and convenient.
Ideally, they should have designed the animation to adapt to different swipe gestures. At least they still allow you to swipe up to unlock instead of forcing you to swipe left.
So.. Am I the only one unlocking by swiping from the right (so for the me animation for me is actually perfect)...?
But why is the padlock at the bottom of the screen if you swipe right to left? I also wouldn't mind if the pattern lock entered from the right. It's the inconsistency that gets me
Most likely the UI people at Sony decided that for this generation, the core UI gesture theme is swiping from right to left.
For example, default home screen is anchored at the very left and additional pages are to the right, so you swipe left to access those pages.
So, by extension, the lock screen should also be unlocked the same way for consistency and smooth transition to the home screen UI flow.
The padlock icon location is probably tied to the Android OS and not something Sony can or wants to change.
Just a guess. I'm still grateful that they didn't remove the ability to swipe up to unlock.
Maybe you're right. I would like to have the option.
I've looked into a few replacement lock screen apps but they don't feel as secure as the stock one.
Sucks for me too. Wish we could swipe any direction.
When we long press the finger print sensor (Keep it holding) even after the screen is unlocked. Then we get shortcuts to quick actions that we can perform.
Is there any way to customise the actions we can perform. It'll be a really helpful feature!
Same question, I tried looking at the settings but couldn't find anything.
Yup, same here. it would be great if we are able to customize that
Right now, only turn off this feature or turn on quick menu. Hope xiaomi will lets us customized soon.
