P20 Pro Virtual Navigation - Counter Intuitive...

Does anyone else find the Huawei P20 Pro's "virtual navigation" to be counter intuitive? The off-screen navigation controls make no logical sense.
Tapping the fingerprint sensor = back button
Holding the fingerprint sensor = home screen
Swiping from right to left across the fingerprint sensor = view open apps
Who designed this? Why is there no ability to customize it to a more logical function?
If it were my choice, this would be how it operates:
Tapping the fingerprint sensor = HOME
Holding the fingerprint sensor = RECENT APPS
Swiping from right to left across the fingerprint sensor = BACK
I feel like this makes much more sense for efficient usage? Does anyone else feel the same?

When I first used it I couldn't get the hang of it. Tried again and gave it a couple of days and once it clicks it's great.

Nice topic, can you use any fingerprint remappers kind of apps, and tell if that fixed the issue or not ?

I tried All In One Gesture but it looks clunky.
I will love to have Gesture across the screen rather than limited to the Button or the Navigation Dock....

I think the default gestures are very nice build. The ones I use more often is the ones that are easiest, and quickest to perform; "back" and "home". And the one I use most seldom is the hardest to do, and thats "recent apps". But I guess we all use our phone in a different manner, so customisation should be allowed.

I don't mind this arrangement but I do miss the ability to quickly double tap recents to open the last app you were using. I used that that a lot..

Exactly same issue for me

I use "Back Button" that creates some floating buttons for me on the right side. There you can double click to change to the reason app. Used them on my s8+ when hiding the on screen buttons.

Screenshot added.

I tried a couple but they all had a very long delay to respond after trying the gestures.

Were nav bar virtual buttons enable when using fingerprint remapper ?

Yup. Other than that I find the gestures just fine to use. Don't know why the op has the default assumption that their idea for a setup is more logical. Both are just arbitrary choices at the end of the day, and either setup would take some time to commit to muscle memory.

EMUI 9 Gestures sucks?

I was ao excited for Android 9 but right after updating to EMUI 9, I was disappointed to see how pathetic and useless is back button gestures, especially when you are on a keyboard screen. Is it just me or you guys think so too?
1) it is difficult to get used to this stupif "back" gesture.
2) it is slow.
3) No quick switching between 2 apps instantly?
Will they fix it in future updates or we are stuck with this forever?

I have to agree on this issue. Gestures on EMUI 9 are really bad. I've stayed with "button bellow screen" gestures.
1. It is really difficult to use "back" gesture especially when using any kind of phone case.
2. Using "back to homescreen" gesture firstly shows recent apps and then moves to homescreen ...
3. No quick switch between 2 apps - that's truly bad.
4. Missing gesture to move "left <-> right" in recent menu with a finger

2. No. I does take you directly to home screen, by swiping up without any pause. (If I understand your issue correctly)
4. Thanks for reminding me that.
5. Keyboard is at such low bottom, it becomes difficult to type (sometime).
I wish they could have copy pasted Apple's gesture. Easy life!

I like them very much actually...

In pie EMUI9 is it still SwiftKey? If I remember well you can resize and move keyboard in settings SwiftKey.

It work awesome. All I miss is switching between app like on ios or zuk z2 pro ui with finger print front. Sad EMUI 9 doesn't have a such function.

This only happens when using a 3rd party launcher.

YES! But I am not talking about keys on top rather KEYS on the buttom. Like SPACE key and other buttons are so close to the bottom end. Apple has a better Implementation (by sliding down the emoji icons etc). Don't you think?
P.S: I'm on Gboard.

Hi! That is google assistant.

Hmmm the new gestures are a bit tricky aren't they but I quite like them so I'll persevere a bit, else there's plenty of other navigation methods to choose from.

People says the gestures don't work that well when using Nova Launcher.
Anyway, you should try Fluid Navigation Gestures, you can customize it as you wish!

In my opinion, if there is anything this front mounted fingerprint reader/home button is good for it's the "off-screen navigation key" - removes unnecessary icons from the screen making it cleaner and works like a charm. Using it since day 1 with this phone and prefer it over the new gestures.
I can't say the new gestures are really bad, I believe one can get used to them, although the swipe right/left for "back" is tricky if you are using a bulky case (Otterbox etc.)

I'm using Nova Launcher and the Pie gestures are broken. It always shows the recent apps first when exiting from an app. That should really be fixed...

Mysterious screen

Does someone know how one can get this screen (attachment). I don't like it, but it is often their when I take my phone out of my pocket. I then have first to press the back-button before I can unlock the phone. I seem not to be able to reproduce what is happening in my pocket.
Btw, I use Always on display, to show always.

Double tap on lockscreen clock. ?
P.S = I assume that 'double tap to wake display' option is enabled on your phone, this explain because the situation that you has described was occurred.

Ah, yes, thanks, now I can reproduce it! A single tap does it already. Any trick to turn this of?

Just read your P.S. I turned that option off. I assume is will be over now.
Thanks!

Help - Any idea to turn off home screen by double tap on screen

Is there any way to double tap on the screen to turn off the home screen instead of press on the hard power button?
Thanks

You can use a launcher like Hyperion or Lawnchair. They both have that option.

Thank you.. let me try

Nova Launcher also can do this...

You can also use the app called Tap Tap to double tap the back of the phone to turn off the screen.

Double Tap, Playstore no adware or internet connection; clean.
Double Tap - Apps on Google Play
Easy to turn on/off screen without power. Not affected to unlock by fingerprint
play.google.com
Not sure if it works with Q and 11 though.
