I've been using the Mate 20 for the past 24hours, being first time Huawei/EMUI user, there are some weird experiences going on.
1. Bug - App switcher:
Open recent apps, I'm not able to switch apps by clicking the partially visible adjacent apps (will go to home screen)
The only way to switch apps is by scrolling to the desired app and make sure it shows at the middle of the screen, then click it.
2. Navigation Bar Experience - EMUI? Android 9? :
The navigation keys' positioning is kinda bad. The icons are too packed at the middle of the screen, instead they should be placed more evenly, and the clickable areas should be widen. (I drawn an image below to better explain this)
I'm not sure this is an EMUI thing or Android Pie thing? How to make a suggestion to Huawei?

This is not solution
I agree, the current nav button setup is stupid.
Hope they fix this issue. Until then I'm using Fluidng.

The nav button is controlled by Huawei, or Android 9?

It's controlled by Huawei, btw it's shifted like that because there's a "rotate" button that appears on the nav bar when you tilt your phone and auto rotate is off, you can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWOp1b-5thQ

I see. But that is rarely used. It shouldn't affect the main navigation keys that are the basic function of a phone.

Hopefully someone can help me with this. I am wanting to disable the swipe up from the bottom action that opens Google Now. I want to be able to disable to soft buttons and instead use Pie or gestures to control everything. I am not able to do that though as long as the swipe up Google Now is enabled. Any ideas?
Also, does anyone know of a way, if I swipe up, the current screen I am on will literally slide up and return to the home screen? There was a tweak for this on iPhone and it is about the only thing I miss from ios. The ability to swipe up and return to the home screen is very quick and doesn't require pushing the home button.
Thanks for the help!
Anyone have any experience with this? I'd really like to get this figured out. Thanks!
these are the options i get when i swipe up. if i choose nothing, for always not just once,, then nothing will happen when swiping up.

I don't want to disable the swipe up gesture entirely though. I just don't want it to engage Google now. I want it to slide up the current screen and return me to the home screen.

maybe this will get you part way there?

now just need an app or maybe a tasker task / other intent that invokes the home screen.

Thanks I'll have to check that out. At the very least I think that would allow me to reassign the swipe up so it opens Pie.
Is there a way or am I searching it wrong to put the launcher on the left side when in landscape mode? Looking for an app mod or anything? I'm not sure where else to ask this question and I didn't see it while searching.
What do you mean launcher? Launcher is all your home screens and app drawer.. Did you mean dock?
He means nav bar...
Never seen one myself, but perhaps try pie controls? Not the same but let's you swipe you nav controls onto the screen from top/bott/left/right depending om settings.
Again, not directly what you ask for but will let you operate nav buttons with that left hand.
Easiest would be to lookup lmt pie controls 2.5 here on xda, or Google and look for the xda link. You will need root.
Oh, I forgot about nav bars. I've used pie for so long, I forget nav bars even exist. Nasty, screen real-estate grabbing, pointless buttons of crap
Sorry guys im an idiot... II did mean the dock/nav bar where your app launcher and such are. Pie is great but not really what im looking for.

Sorry, dock and nav bar are 2 different things.. Which one do you mean? Can you screen shot?
..or do you mean both?

Ok that is dock.
Again, this might not be something you want but I remove my dock and use glovebox to swipe in from the left.. It's always left though even in portrait.. Then it auto hides.
I'm not aware of a mod to change the dock in stock launcher. I'm not aware of any 3rd party launcher that does it. Can't see a setting on nova.
Hmm good stuff, I wonder if there would be a way to make it persistent but that just might do.
Turn your phone in the opposite direction so the volume/power buttons point down?
I've updated to Android p beta via Nokia OTA update but I didn't get any new gestures and the main gesture, the main advancement is missing, which is "Swipe up on home button.

DP4/Beta3 have reverted navbar icons to Oreo style.... but you can use with P and configure action to more gestures: XDA Navigation Gestures
Same here ... Am too missing the navigation gesture after installing Android 9.0 beta 3 on my Nokia 7 plus device.
One question though will the navigation gesture be back in the next update or it will be like this forever.Need those gestures back asap.

i not advice you any stupid (kde si to sebral?), but inteligent/powerfull replacement with more user editable function for more gestures and more customisation that native P gesture

how would it then look like if for every thing that could / should / had part of the system I would have to install an 3rd party application which then of course consumes the system resources

this true, but i dont say, install many 3rd party extension/hack/tool, but if you want gestures, try "XDA Navigation Gestures", is many better that native, which actualy is not available also not consume resources, here you can see that in ~11h active eat only funny 4mAh
I noticed that in landscape mode, bringing up the dock behaves as if the phone has capacitive nav nav keys instead of the onscreen softkeys. Not the most clear photo but on the middle icon the overlap can be seen.
Anyone else got this going on or is there some setting that I'm missing?

Mine doesn't do that.
Reset Nova settings, confirm it works then redo your settings.
You must have edited your padding settings, although just checked and I couldn't replicate. So many settings in Nova so must be something you did.
I'll check it out, I actually restored settings from a U11 now that I think of it lol. That does have capacitive keys...
Can't believe this is the kind if noob mistake I'd make having been here since touch pro 1 -_-

Hm still doing it. Lemme clarify that if I already have the dock out and then rotate,it doesn't do this. It only does it if I have toggle dock mapped to a swipe and I use the gesture to toggle the dock in landscape.

Tested and can confirm that specific "use case" does produce output as per your screenshot.
A small oversight/quirk - notify Nova and they will fix it.
For now, simply rotate back to portrait then back to landscape.
Hi guys, I'm wondering if someone else is having this issue.
I have an S10+, navigation with gestures activated and no indicators.
The thing is when I use Gboard and I type the buttons on the bottom row (like the , for example) I get double taps. Only if I type them from the bottom of the button.
So I get ,, instead of , or two spaces instead of one. It's annoying..
I haven't detected this issue with any other app.
I have not tried gboard or swift in years because you cannot get rid of the toolbar. I only like letters and numbers when typing and dont use emoji's. Do either of them support to hide the toolbar yet and look like this?

I use the Google keyboard and I tried the stock gestures, ended up going with fluid navigation gestures instead. Works much better in my opinion.

If by "toolbar" you mean this (picture 1) then yes, it can be removed (picture 2). Just turn off "Show suggestion strip" in the menu (picture 3). You can also disable the Emojis from gboard's settings as well.
Am I the only one with this issue? Can someone try Gboard with no nav bar and no hints and see if this happens?
I'm using google zhuying keyboard, which is like the older version of gboard for taiwanese people.
I don't see any problems.
I would suggest trying a different keyboard and if it happens
It only happens with Gboard. But I like Gboard, this is the only issue I have with it.
Just figured out this also happens with SwiftKey. No one else is having this?

Try fluid navigation gestures. I use Google keyboard and FNG without any issues.
I'm using SwiftKey beta and creating an empty space under the keyboard. It was the only solution.
