Just slide that area down and it will show.
It's just like one of the expansive notifications. If you slide your finger down the notification toggles area it show. And if you slide your finger up that area it should hide it.

It's not the case for me. Not working I've tried swiping in every direction. I do have Wanam installed with a couple of tweaks. Hopefully that's not the reason it's not working because I can't do without Wanam.
Hi all, I can help you !
GS5 user here, soon to be Note 4 - but I just tested this out on mine and got it to work.
To add/remove the brightness adjustment, drag the notification screen down, touch the upper right icon that looks like 4 boxes, touch the little pen icon to Edit your menu and check/uncheck the Brightness adjustment option.

happened to me during the 1st day when I was playing around with everything, I do believe it happened when I hit the ultra powersaving mode option, then after disabling that feature, I think it came back after a restart,
I wish mine was gone!
I know this thread is long dead, but I had the same issue and found a solution. First, the slider had only disappeared when I was on manual brightness. As soon as I turned on manual from the notification panel, it disappeared. Here's the voodoo I found in desperation that got it to work.
With auto-brightness already on (and in the notification panel) Go to Settings>Display>Brightness and move the slider (do not click the uncheck). Drop the panel down, and it should now be there and you can check and uncheck without it disappearing. Some dumb glitch, and simply turning auto-brightness back on the settings panel would only bring it back until I switched off auto-brightness.
Just got the note 8 yesterday and been messing around with it. I'm coming from the Note4 with Note7 software. I think I have a pretty decent setup. I'm taking advantage of the always on screen. I use it like a lock screen. So I disabled the lock screen. I long-press the home screen to unlock the phone its pretty awesome. Or double tap the notifications to go directly to them, without swiping again.
I wanted to create this discussion so ppl can share their shortcuts and little efficiencies so everybody can enjoy them.

Update: So I lied I assumed there would be notifications on the AOD screen with the lockscreen off but unfortunately there are no more notifications on AOD without the lock screen that's silly
Update, Update: there is a setting in the display>navigation bar settings that bypasses the lock screen on a long press!!!

I like it a lot but in my opinion the curve screen does not improve anything and is unnecessary, it just looks good. Typing on it takes getting used to. The q & p keys are on the edge and it's a little weird to press them and long press them.
The phone was super hard to handle with one hand without the Samsung military grade rugged case. It's a long phone. With the case it's thicker and more manageable. Having the case on it also makes it harder to touch the edge of the screen by accident when using one hand.
Really not a fan of the curve screen as you can see lol. But other than that the phone is perfect.
I wish they had an option to disable the edges or something.
You planning on getting it?

I ordered one because I had the Note 7 and they offered the discount. It’s supposed to be delivered 9/12 and I was using the S8 Plus at one point. The Note 7 was the first time I used the pen extensively, so I wanted to try it again.

Click on recent button, long press the app of choice, and drag it in the pop-up window square to make the app a pop up window quickly. Or you can enable the multi-window setting to diagonal swipe from the top right of the screen to make the app a pop up window.
In the sound settings you can choose apps to default to a specific output channel. I find this useful for using Google maps while playing music. I have maps defaulting to phones speakers. I think it is working lol but it still lowers the music volume when maps is talking. It doesn't seem to blast the annoying gps voice over my music that I was playing loud.[emoji108]

Sweet ! Have fun ! It's such a dope phone. I think the new UI hit the sweet spot. I'm not sure what the S8 is like but I assume it is very similar. The navigation bar looks sick. The toggles have no text [emoji7]. Ahhh it's the little things in life lol

That's a feature that was available via the much more feature-rich Action Memo that was included with S Note on pre-N7 models. So while it's a new feature from the perspective that it's a new app, it's a crappy app in comparison.

I didn't have the Note 7, only the S8+, but I do not recall if this feature (below) was on the S8+ or a previous device.
While in the app drawer, and I scrolled up to the top of the list, I then swipe within the drawer downward (but not from the top) and a popup comes up showing me a list of apps that were are frequently used, recently used and those that were new/updated. Pretty cool.
I had a note 7 last year and I am coming from a s7 edge so I'm sure I have some new things to learn as well
Hey I have a question for the Note 8 owners here. I read earlier last week that you could touch and swipe left/right the home button when its hidden to go back / activate recent, and then regular force touch to go home. Is this a legit gesture, or is there an app that can enable such a thing?
I would absolutely love if I could ditch the nav bar entirely and get DAT space.

Np happy to help!
Also!!
"Nav bar Apps" in the play store let's you apply a static color to your nav bar in every app! There is a flash of white when it launches an app where it is supposed to be white but I dont mind that. It looks like the app can do other things but I just wanted to make it black at all times! Exactly what I wanted.
If you go into the settings you can change the color change animation to fade. That is the smoothest animation with barely any white flash.
Alsoo
My OP setup is obsolete!!! There is a setting in in the display>navigation bar settings. See picture

Substratum with the paid samsung addon works with the paid swift dark and black themes. Got Maps, YouTube, gmail, Instagram, Google Play, Chrome themed successfully. Not sure what else it can do I gotta play. I also was able to use "status bar icons for samsung" free app from the playstore to change the nav bar icons but I'm in love with the stock nav bar black all the time. I reverted.

This works. Followed the directions. I changed my nav bar to all black on all apps with adb. Make sure you uncheck "apply current theme" in the nav bar settings within the display settings.
I've used GMD Gesture Control on the Note series ever since the first one - without any problems. It doesn't work on Note 8, gestures don't get recognized, most of the time it's dead, sometimes a weird gesture will get interpreted - it says in the changelog Nougat 7.0 support was added last - so maybe not useable on 7.1.1 yet... It's a bummer though.
Anyone know of a suitable replacement?
Try All in One Gestures, seems to work fine (except immersive mode)
I solved it…
Has anyone noticed that when in the system setting ( not gmd settings but system settings ), gestures from middle and lower half of the right and left borders do not work?
Gestures from the top half of either side and lower border work with no problems.
Edit : It seems that the same thing happens with all Samsung apps
Will post in the general GMD thread

Okay guys.
Just got the official Pie update and it seems that a couple of features are missing.
First, long press "recent button" to split screen in two. (When using full screen gestures), like, there is no way to get another app while listening to YT with screen gestures.
Also, "swipe fast to right" to switch to the last recent app is not working when "Gesture Hints" are hidden
Also, I cannot make apps go into the "Window mode", like swiping from the top will not minimize apps, it will just throw notification bar.
Am I perhaps missing something here?

No, I found these, I just don't feel like swiping and tapping 5 times to get split screen instead of one single long tap.
I thought that split screen or at least previous app would be long swipe to the top, like with home button when you can activate Google assistant.
I just hope that they will bring that option in the near future.
I really miss fast switching to the previous app.

Sadly, samsung implemented a multiwindow close to how google do it and killed their great android versions multitasking ability. It's really not only annoying, but strange why they removed something that they were praised for in android 7 and 8 and before. At this point I better get an iphone as the multitasking is the same (irony).
To show you how rushed (and this sound even funnier given how much time they had) the android 9 is, I will just tell you that you can swipe home-hold and it will run google assistant (like the older home button hold). It's like common sense that they could had done that to recents too - swipe up and hold for instant split screen, but nope, they didn't. Never mis triggered the assistant when going home, so this is not the reason.
Also they removed the menu between two split screen apps, so if you want to switch their places (for example youtube and viber so you can watch the video that is on the bottom while typing) - touch luck b*tch, now you need to close both and open again in the right order rofl (also there was popout there in the same menu). They removed so many key functionalities on a phone promoted BY THEM for multitasking and staying on oreo is not an option for obvious many reasons.
Edit: also the exynos note 9 drop frames in the UI like it did @ oreo if not worse (after it's settled down)... so you got also that.
Issue that i have is in settings, security if i deactivate the Find my Device option, when i restart my phone the option has been reactivated. Also sometimes the full screen gestures so working.

I took advice from another XDA user*: I installed an app called Edge Gestures https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.edgegestures which is helpful in restoring a fast switch back / split screen method.

Yeah sorry Samsung but your one ui is garbage, looks horrible and I can't stand looking at this navigation bar everywhere, no auto hide option at all now? I switch to the gestures option instead but swipe up for recents doesn't work at all. Also no update to their own good lock app and without that my phone looks even more like trash lol The notification panel is horrible, just a big white block with some blue buttons, my good lock one was so nice, also back to the boring old task switcher I was looking forward to this update so much, but it looks like arse...

There is also a workaround with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid
It's even more prettier, but to be honest, I'm tired of using ADB, rooting and so on.
I had note 2 and note 4, rocking custom roms since beginning, but now I just want everything to be original, and logical.
I have no clue what the f were they doing while in beta, I mean, come on, no fast switching to the previous app if screen gestures are hidden.
*Amazing*

Feature and productivity wise it's really a big downgrade. Also those notifications that take the whole screen... seriously. No thought put at all. All is done considering galaxy s10, I am sure of that... and especially nothing was done considering the note 9, even the rounded corners are matched for the s9 rofl.
Only things that a peeving me on Pie is the fact that I have never in my life used Duo or installed it but in my settings/accounts it shows Duo, I remove it but after rebooting phone its back??? that and the inability to deactivate Find my Device, I deactivate it, but after rebooting phone its reactivated again... any ideas (maybe with ADB to sort these 2 issues out?)

screen flickering when calling
Hello guys!
I have updated to one ui on my international galaxy note 9
I have an issue, the screen flickers when I make a call, it's very annoying, anyone facing this?
thank you for sharing information <3 :good:
I've been using a OnePlus 6T and Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 regularly and have become very much so used to swiping to go home, back, recents, etc. In fact, picking up my old Pixel 2 XL feels like a step back in terms of usage.
I understand there are apps that can mimic the gestures, but they aren't always 100% and can sometimes cause issues (Fluid N.G. definitely doesn't work 100% of the time and can be clunky feeling). The native gestures found on OnePlus, Xiaomi, Huawei, all feel great since they were made for the device and what not.
Based on every bit of footage I've seen thus far on the Galaxy S10/S10+, there are navigation buttons by default. Does anyone know if Samsung has made any gesture navigation to use instead of the buttons? I never thought I'd get used to using gestures but now I can't go back.
Cheers!
Yep Samsung does. Slightly different then others, but basically swipe up on left side to go back, swipe up middle for home, and swipe up on right side to go to recent apps. That is provided you have the navigation orientation the way it's supposed to be with back button on left and recents on right. Swipe up and hold middle for Google assistant
Sent from my CLT-L29 using Tapatalk
Personally I am not a fan of the Samsung gestures and 3 swipe zones can be complicated if you use different hands at times. It is one of the cons I am considering for getting the S10 as I would have to install fluid if I got one
you can completely hide navigations buttons in android pie - samsung - and use gesture (swipe left, right up down)
i am using them and it was difficult at first and i still get the random misfire but is better as you get 100% screen no button bars
you can find this option in settings

No, it's stock button layout. You can enable the gestures if you so choose.
Talking about gesture, anyone know how to activate/how works the gesture to close an app?
I can see it on a few videos but can't replicate it for some reason? Are we suppose to swipe up a few times?

I'm not talking about the bottom swipe, I'm talking about apparently anywhere on the screen swipe.
i switched from iphone x to s10
and am using the samsung gestures + FluidNG , but limited the Fluid Gestures to only back from left and right parts of the screen the same as i do with the iphone , so now everything is good without the need for ROOT etc..
Try the Good Lock app from Samsung Galaxy Store. The app gathers all the enhancement software from Samsung in it. The one hand operation + uses gesture and is configurable.
