Anyone having issues with apps not "fitting" the screen? Often if I try to take a photo via fb messenger the camera-app will be oversized, I will only see the lower half of the editing menu on top, etc.
As for snapchat - I prefer using the virtual navigation bar, but the bar is positioned right next to/upon the buttons on the snapchat app. I suck at explaining. Basically I keep pushing the backward button when I am trying to save. Same when writing on the keyboard at times. I want the navigation bar to show at all times, but have to use the setting where I can put it away for several apps. Soo backwards. And I hate the other navigation-options even more. I was sooo excited for this phone. Not too much anymore.

Am I doing it all wrong or is there any solution to this? Snapchat and fb messenger has no full screen display on/off option either.
I do have the same problem. Most of the time i open up Instagram, my screen is scaled to my resolution which is bad, cause some things are croped then... have u gotten any help so far?
Have to wait for Android P with notch support basically
Yeah, strange! Yesterday I got OnePlus 6, and when you activate the app to work on the full-screen mode it will fill all the screen even the area around the notch, but on my P20 Pro, it works exactly like the older screens (without the notch). Both phones have the same Android version.

Best solution for me was to turn off the navigation bars in the settings and use the fingerprint scanner to navigate back, go through recent apps and go home.
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.

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
I wanted to give the new Android 10 Gestures a try but I've noticed a couple of annoyances while using them with Nova. Not sure if these issues are Nova-specific, or third-party launcher-specific. I've only confirmed these issues on Nova,
1. If you swipe to go home and immediately try to tap on an app/folder, it won't work. Seems like you need to give it a second before touches register.
2. Swiping horizontally to switch between apps can sometimes stutter, and almost never works when on the home screen. I have the Nova Google Companion installed so I just end up swiping to that Google news feed.
Again, these are on the minor side, but not minor enough for me to tolerate and use Gestures. I'd appreciate if anyone could confirm this happens to them as well and / or have a workaround / fix!
It's a third party issue. Really annoying as I want folders in the drawer and the ability to hide apps, but it isn't as smooth as using the stock pixel launcher.
True I have had some minor issues as well but I think now that gestures are allowed with third party launchers nova team will tighten up the app to work better with them. Just have to wait for an update.

I'm using Nova and experience #1 from time to time. Not sure why it happens though.
When you open Nova setting right at the top it explains that gestures is not compatible with Android 10 for now.

Yeah that's wrong it's now compatible but only with pixel 4 and 4 xl I'm guessing that's why they leave that up there since you can use nova on any device. Ok so technically it's not wrong it only works on the 4. I still think it's just a matter of them fine tuning the gestures in their app hopefully they will do this sooner than later.
Thanks for the input guys, I didn't know Nova needed an update but I thought Google needed to continue refine support for third party launchers.
I agree though it's not as smooth as stock but I need folders in the app drawer and the app search widget in Nova is hard to go without now.
Hola
While I understand the ease of using native gesture settings, have you folks tried FNG as an alternative. Those issues that you listed drove me bonkers, that I switched over to FNG, a lot more controls, and so far a smoother experience.

Yeah I tried it but sometimes third party gestures can interfere with other apps (displaying on top of them).
It's a good app no doubt, but like you said, it's about the ease and seamlessness of using native gestures!
As seen here, this is the most annoying bug on the phone now...
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyTab/comments/l3wnhr
This is for people on One UI 3.1 using third party launchers. You might come across a bug where:
1.The launcher keeps stopping/force closing or
2. Exiting an app causes the screen to flash and does nothing if you touch the screen immediately after.
Any fixes or workarounds?
I've had this issue with Nova Launcher and my S21 Ultra. Haven't found a permanent fix for it as yet.
thats weird I have had my s21 ultra since 5 pm yesterday, thats the first thing I did was download Nova, that's all i use, and have not had any issues with what you guys are having.

I believe we (AUS) owners are one firmware release behind (I'm on AUA4 with a build date of early Jan where the latest is AUAC with a build date later in Jan) so perhaps it's been fixed in the latest release?
If I use the Samsung gestures (swipe up from the bottom), Fluid Navigation gestures doesn't actually prevent those gestures from working for some reason (even after running the ADB command needed)

Yes these bugs are unacceptable
I have this issue as well where swiping up to go home causes the screen to flash and become unresponsive for a second or so. It only happens with gesture navigation and a 3rd party launcher.
I'm on the update release January the 1st. Is there a chance this is fixed in an update already available in part of the world?
Never mind I already have AUAC. that does not fix it. We may need to report this bug to Samsung. Has anyone done that? Chances are a fix is coming since they did fix the rest of the issues that were on earlier oneui versions for gestures in 3rd party launchers.
Did anyone confirm this happens in all 3rd party launchers and not just Nova?

Are you using gesture navigation? AFAIK it only affects the home gesture. Use Nova, launch an app. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to go home and immediately after, try tapping an icon on the launcher screen to launch another app. You notice no unresponsive issue here?

I'm on UAC since yesterday evening but this issue only happened when I first got the phone on Monday. I went into Nova settings and set it as default launcher. Since then no issues at all.
I Infact replicated the steps you just mentioned and was not able to reproduce the issue. Using the Samsung swipe up navigation gestures for clarification

That's interesting. Exynos version? I wonder what causes some of us (most?) to experience it but not you. I've set Nova as default in the system settings, not in Nova, but that should produce the same effect. Did you do anything else between the non working and the working state?
By Samsung swipe up, do you mean swipe up from the bottom in 3 different places rather than swiping screen left and right edges to go back? I use the version where you swipe left and right edges for back. Is that it perhaps?

Yes exynos. India variant. And yes for your last question too. I prefer the swipe up gestures because using the side swipe with a case I couldn't get it to work reliably.
I'm sorry I couldn't find the setting for this in the settings menu so when I first experienced this issue I simply set nova as default through its own settings.
Also I had used smartswitch cable transfer to migrate all data apps and settings over from the S20+

Oh I saw just now that this is already stated in the top post. I couldn't see the quoted area on my mobile, now I see it. The bug is only present with google gestures and there's a hint on how to bypass the problem with one hand +, I'll try that now.

yeah I`m old school and just use the buttons at the bottom, I don`t care for navigation gestures, that would explain why I don`t have the issues, lol

Thanks for this thread, this was driving me crazy, i tried Action Launcher, Niagra, Smart Launcher and they all have the stutter when you return to then home screen when using android 11 gestures. Samsung gestures fixes but my muscle memory is to swipe from the sides for back so i'm struggling with it. Currently back to the One UI launcher to be able to use android gestures seamlessly. Hoping for a fix to this in future updates to OneUI but doubtful!

Use one handed operations+ from play/galaxy store. I hated android 11 swipe from left to go back, because I'm used to open menu in many apps from the left side and now it was going back, with oho+ i have swipe back from right and normal left side without any commands, also that app is OP so you can customise it even more
Wrong alert, still not solving the gesture when you swipe from south to north (down to u

Fantastic, this does the job perfectly, if you were here I'd hug you right now
Does not solve the gesture usage on the bottom.
I have a different issue wherein even tough I have set Nova as the default launcher, after a reboot, One UI launcher is set as default again. This doesn't happen all the time though but just random.
