Guys,
I have been googling for a long while, but not found how to switch on the screen reading icon (looks like a human) when using gestures. Google support says that 2 fingers swipe up does it (if Talkback is on 3 fingers) but for me no.
Any idea?
Thx!

Can anyone confirm that motion sensors and motion guided commands do not work when you do NOT use Touch Wiz? I am using Nova Launcher and the hand swipe to screenshot does not work.
Also, I tested out the IR Remote control app which worked great but now even after i close the app, on my lock screen, the remote functions are still there.

It hasn't gone away since last night. I closed out, closed process etc, still just hangs around the lock screen. When i press the channel/volume buttons from the lock screen, the blue light shines showing that it is currently activated and on. I believe this is a possible bug. I'm worried it's draining my battery as well. Please help.
Bonus help: how do you change the background on the lock screen?

On the S4 there's a setting within the app where you can disable the lock screen and notification panel settings. You'd think that they should still be there on the S5. Open the app, go to the menu and check the settings there.

Yeah, that drove me nuts too when I first used the feature on my S4.....Hopefully getting the S5 and Gear Neo this weekend.
Swipe to screenshot works fine for me with Next Launcher 3D.

i figure swipe to capture out, your hand had to actually glide ON the screen. This whole time I thought it was an air motion that the sensors on the front caught. it isn't that at all but based on the hand touching the actual glass. I guess this is what happens for first time Samsung users... mods feel free to delete this thread.
SOLVED! I had the same issue (swipe screen grab not working) and tried everything with my Galaxy S6 after I installed Marshmallow and also Nova launcher for first time. Not sure which one caused it... Anyway, after going through a million "fixes" that didn't work, this one finally did!
- Go to your phone dialer and dial: *#2663#
- That will bring up a developer menu. Once you're in the menu press the button titled "TSP FW Update (General)". Let it got through the update (just a few seconds) and viola!!! You're swipe screen grab or any other touch screen weirdness work perfectly again!
Thanks . Solved even S pen problem on screen capture
I have a Rooted Note 4 (T-Mobile) N910T 6.0.1
I would like to add a Power Off Button (Actually just sleep - not actual power off)
I had TEKXodus N4 ROM on it for a bit - but I had issues with it and went back to Stock Firmware.
TEKXodus N4 has a great little Power Off Button at the top right corner of the status bar.
I am looking for a way to do that.
Does GravityBox do that? (It's been a long time since I used GravityBox)
Thanks!
Edit Note:
I did find that the launcher I use (Nova Launcher) has a setting I can use to make a Gesture - Screen Lock - that works well and does not affect Air Wake either)
Some of the Screen Off and Lock Apps seemed to kill AirWake when I tried them a while ago)
The only problem with using a gesture in NOVA Launcher is: It Locks the Screen vs just turn off the Screen (like hitting the power button does).
I use Smart Lock when at home and work - wifi - locations and all I have to do is use airwake to wake it up, then swipe the screen
If I use the NOVA setting it locks my Note 4 and I have to Swipe fingerprint or if using a pin enter it
I know it can be done as it is in TEKXodus N4 ROM I used - I just had too many random reboots (Even after completely wiping all but ext SD Card 4 x)

Yeah.. I had similar issues when watching YouTube videos on that ROM.. :/
Look into all in one gestures on the play store. You can set up single or double tap, and long press gestures to the status bar.
I used it on one rom to bring down the brightness slider in a floating little window when i held down the status bar as it was missing from the notification panel...
I found an app that does just this!
"Screen off via short timeout" DYNA Logix
I can tap the screen off icon and then later I can wake up with say Air Wake and my fingerprint
Every other app I found messed with SmartLock and Finger Print unlock
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

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
GMD gesture control does this and much more. I use it for years.

This also requires root though.

That's true, yes.
On the play store there is an app called edge gestures and there's also one made by Francisco named fluid ng. Both are very good.
as for Samsung gestures you can get a good preview on how it works here. https://youtu.be/KptBndWmvqY

Are the Samsung gestures always on by default or one can turn them off?

I second that Fluid NG is a great piece of work. Kudos to the dev.

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?

You just swipe from the middle once.

Do you need to activate it?
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.
Hi,
I'm currently searching for a way to make my S10's navigation bar persistant in every app. (also in fullscreen apps)
If you watch a youtube video or play a game on a device without hardware keys its not possible anymore to switch instantly.
When i remember how easy and fast it was on my s7 edge, a single click from everywhere got me back on my homescreen and a double tap on the menu button switched to the last app.
In my S10's settings i found something in setting/display/navigationbar but the gestures are not really an replacement. (especially when you use your phone with one hand)
I don't know how bad screen burnin is when i have the bar on the whole time but if the buttons where black it would not be a problem i think?
cheers
Hi all!
I’ve got a question about gesture option "double tap to lock” in Nova Luncher (or any other way like bx Actions). Why when I use double tap to lock screen (NOVA gesture) screen is shutting down and wake up after 1 sek?
I wrote to Nova Team and they answer to me:
That's a very well known issue that Samsung introduced that you need to contact them about. It's something that we can't fix or change in any way.

I dont have this issue, you have to choose screen lock method as Accessibility.
