Anyone else noticed that if you hold two fingers on any screen on the Gear you get a list of recently opened apps?
Much quicker to navigate this way sometimes.
You can also close the apps by swiping each one to the left.
Awesome tip. I didn't know that. Thanks.

Hmm ... Too bad that we can't clear the open apps.
I think we will see a lot of changes from Samsung with the gear. They rushed it to market, imho, without it being very mature. But then every new device has this issue.
I remember when people were complaining that the amount of available apps for Android paled in comparison to the iSuck devices.

You can also double tap
I knew about this but also if you double tap 2 fingers you get instant shortcut to volume / brightness settings and battery level
Wow this is a nice tip. Is this something that was in the manual that came with the device. I never read them
Doesn't this tip appear on menu that came with the box?

Somebody didn't read their manual.

so, my front soft keys somehow disappeared, and I cant get them back; in the settings menu, there is no longer an option for them, and I have no clue how they went away...
any suggestions?
I uninstalled xposed framework, and gravity box, in case that was the issue,and have rebooted many times, but still not there..
thanks!
Not sure if you can or if it would help but did you try another launcher? Maybe a reset but not sure if that would even work.

Is your expanded desktop on from xposed?
Try factory reset as your last resort. Did you mess around turning them off with xposed?

-tried a different launcher, and it didnt work
-re-installed xposed, and gravity box, and made sure expanded desktop was OFF, and it didnt work
-rooting had nothing to do with it, as I rooted a week ago, and everything was fine until last night
thanks so much!
This is one of the reasons I've been leaving my Flex stock til we get a recovery. I know with the G2, zips were made to shrink the keys. Not sure if you could even get them back if you had a zip like that. Maybe you can search G2 threads and find a way. Sorry I can't help ya.
yeah, I even did a factory reset just now, and they are still not there; even in the settings menu, the "front screen buttons" entry is gone..
I guess I'll take it back to T-mobile today and tell them I want it replaced..its only 11 days since I got it, so it shouldnt matter..
I cant imagine rooting had anything to do with it, since I rooted a week ago, and its worked perfectly until it just went out last night

Before you do that you should try restoring with wolfgart's thread downloads. If you're going to be changing stuff, its good to know how to fix a brick.

good advice; but frankly, after only 11 days, I dont even want to mess around with that.
plus, I am not sure if there is even a complete restore for Tmobile version yet
Can you pull your build.prop via adb and enable the software keys like that and push it back?

i thought about doing that, actually, but it was alot easier to just return it and get a new one today.
If it happens again, which it better not, I will try that.
I think Gravity Box was the culprit, after reading through the 500+ pages of that thread; it seems to play havoc at times with soft keys, so users beware..
That was one of the reasons why i was debating on getting this phone. Nothing beats a physical button.(that works...)

to be honest, i see this non issue "issue" often enough, but when scrolling down. unfortunately, its working how its supposed to work. i, myself, have taught myself not to scroll down so fast that it will bounce back to the top.
Anyone else on 5.1.1 having an issue with the spen icon in not going away after you put the pen back in? Also the headphones icon doesn't go away when J disconnect headphones.

After messing around with 2 T3 phones, I am thinking it is developer options. If you unhide the developer options, for some reason, it is messing up with notifications. I went into the settings and into all apps and cleared the data in the settings app and haven't experienced it again. Thought what I had was a bad firmware download, but it seems to be the developer options after convincing T-Mobile to send me a new phone.

Just had this happen for the first time this evening (phone is only a couple days old). Rebooted it and it went away.
It's a stock 5.1.1 bug. Nothing big
Another bug I've noticed is that sometimes Google play music and a few other apps will randomly start up after unlocking the screen

I like android 6.0 its fast, reliable and now on tap is great but I have become accustomed to swiping up to check my Google now, and I don't understand why it's gone. Can you not use now on tap and the swipe to Google now, I used to just swipe up check the weather, traffic or whatever I needed but now I have to hold it down wait for it to search a screen I don't care about then tap the Google now square or I have to go find the app. I'm sorry but I seriously hate it its terrible.

I don't know I have never had that problem maybe that's why they changed it, I feel like other people that actually use Google now and not just the search feature would miss it.

Agree, was confused when I tried swiping up, tap and hold takes much longer in my opinion than the previous swipe up
I am using nova launcher and I have set it up so swipe up will bring up google now, this way I don't miss it...

Snap.
But I think it only works from a NL screen, not while in an app.
