My watch was working perfectly before the 5.1.1 update, but ever since the update, it is slow to wake, unable to swipe away cards from the watch face without opening them, the touch sensitivity is TERRIBLE....have to swipe over and over to get it to register, and for notifications I am unable to select "ALL"...can only select "priority" and "none".
Is anyone else having these problems?
5.1.1 problems are being discussed here if you're not aware:

No problem in starting a new thread, though.

I noticed that the touch screen seems derpy to me too. Something is definitely weird with the toggle shade thingy. I'm having the same problem with selecting "all". You can get it, but you have to find the exact spot below and to the left and tap frantically like a dozen times. I reccomend using the test app in developer settings and open the touch test. It will display a small grid and it will trace all your touches. Don't worry if it says fail. Just notice whether or not its tracking your finger. To get it to pass you have to turn the lines green by swiping in a certain direction. Mine tracks perfectly so, for me at least, the hardware is fine. Definitely a software issue.

Yesterday I installed the Android M preview on my phone, and so I had to do a reset on my watch. Now all of the touchscreen wonkiness has gone away, and it's working fine!
Before I was unable to get the app list to appear by swiping from the right, but only by tapping once. Also, I couldn't swipe in the center of the screen in the mode selector shade, but only above or below the row of icons. Now that's all working as well.
I have Samsung Galaxy S5 Model 900T (klte)
Lineage OS 14.1 November 23, 2017
API Level Guava (7)
Security Patch Level Novembefr 6, 2017
Baseband Version: G900TUCU1GQC2
Kernel Version 3.4.113-lineageos-g746d931
Build Number: lineage_klte-userdebug 7.1.2 NJH47F-c26202ea25
The phone randomly switches to the split screen mode, usually when I am opening apps or using them (eg. ES File Explorer, Blue Mail, Google Search, Cloud Library, IHeart Radio app). I hear a short vibration, then the phone switches into split screen mode.
I have tried an app called MultiWindow Toggle but this does not solve the problem.
I have tried to switch the function of the short press of the recent button to no action and the long press of the recent button to recent apps switcher, but this makes the phone switch to the recent apps switcher.
I don't know if this is a hardware issue or a software issue, and if the latter, is it the os or some of the apps? Does any one have any guidance for how to solve this issue? It is very intrusive, and I really like the Lineage OS.
Thanks for any help that can be offered.
Sounds like a Hardware issue. Can you deactivate the button and activate software nav bar?

I managed to modify the file named build.prop using some instructions I found online. It did activate the software nav bar. I expected it to disable the hardware buttons, but it did not. I still had the same problem.
I had to go into the settings for lineage and set the "recents" button to do nothing on short press and nothing on long press. The leftmost button on the nav bar now does nothing as well. The phone still vibrates a short blast randomly, but does not switch. The right most button on the software nav bar the one with the rectangle face, that one activates the task switcher now. The rightmost hardware button still acts as a "back" button, I want that function so I will leave it as is. I can live with that. I don't know a way to activate the split screen in this configuration, but I can live with that as well. Both the hardware home button and the center button on the software nav bar do the same thing now. I would like to be able to program the nav bar to do what I want it to do, is there a way to do that. If not, I can live with this.
Thanks for your help.
Hello everybody,
Soon after getting the Pie update, after the first security small update, i noticed that on my wife's Galaxy S9 the setting "Single tap to swipe" option is gone. Anybody else having this problem ?
Thanks!
Same here. I have also preferred tap instead of swipe... Definitely i am going to change this Samsung brand...
Mee too! I'm very angry...
LOL, you guys break me up, so fickle that you'll change phones because of single tap to swipe feature missing. There is no way you could have even liked the phone if you'll drop it for this.
Same on S9+. It worked on One UI security patch January 1, but it is gone after February 1 update.
Lame, I thought my phone got stuck, took me few days until I tried to swipe, LOL...
I am used to end the call with Power key but never got the hang of using the Volume up key for answering calls, so I just used tap instead of swipe.
Now I guess I am doomed.
My workaround will be to try to get used to using Bixby key for answering calls since bxActions app has such an option.
Until they break that with some update also.
On Note 9 still working after the last update, hope they will not mess with it.
For some reason in latest update they moved it under: Interaction and dexterity -> assistant menu -> Single tap to swipe ....
but now i am stuck with useless menu on my screen (kept only one option in the menu) but when disabling the menu - single tap stops working
Thanks kabangena, with your help i found it. I have set the maximum transparency to the small assistant menu and i moved it in the upper right corner. I cannot see the icon anymore. It's a temporary fix, hope Samsung will do something about it.

same here , but it's still very annoying
Is anyone solved the issue, even with the third-party app? That's really annoying; why don't left that useful option "as is"?
You can hide the assistant menu by long press on it and a circle with "X Hide Here" appears in top center of the screen, drag it into the circle. This hides assistant menu in the notification panel. You have to see the notification every time you swipe down to open the panel, but it is completely hidden from the home screen.

Except, after the screen closes and I hit Home to open it again, this little piece of worthless junk is back.
I'd just leave it somewhere and ignore this POS, but it covers parts of apps that I regularly use.
Why do people think that deleting functionality is a good thing?
Finally I found the solution (not a permanent but still affordable).
- turn Settings->Accessibility->Interaction and dexterity->Assistant menu on and (inside "Assistant menu") set Single tap to swipe is on
- weird floating icon should appear but don't worry
- go to Settings->Apps, press "3 dots" in the top right corner and tap on Show system apps
- find an app called Accessibility, tap on, scroll all way down and remove Appear on top advanced permission (I've also disabled Change system setting)
- now scroll up, and tap on Force stop button
Weird button will disappear and re-appear after reboot only (you should repeat last step again after reboot but it's OK, I believe so)
Enjoy!
P.S. Thanks to user drmusou for his post.
[UPDATE] There is a permanent solution! Set Single tap to swipe option and disable package com.samsung.accessibility by Package Disabler Pro+ (Samsung).
Or just with ADB shell:
c:\adb>adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.accessibility
If you tap and hold the assistant menu you will have the option to hide it " it will re appear after reboot" but can do the same again ?
Hello,
I have a rooted ( Magisk-v14.5 ) OnePlus 5t with Android 7.1.1.
Without me ( knowingly ) changing any settings suddenly the following behaviour occurs:
While I am typing in an App like Tinder, E-Mail etc... the virtual keyboard keeps sliding down like i touch the little triangle button on the left bottom corner. But of course I am not accidentally touching it.
Sometimes the Keyboard is sliding down without me even touching the phone.
This behavior seems rather random, sometimes it works for hours ... sometimes I can hardly type anything.
For me it looks like some "App / Process / Command " is trying to take over the input controls of the phone but it never shows up
I use the most updated version of "Gboard"
I tried the following:
1. de-install "Gboard" and use other keyboards like "SwiftKey Keyboard"
2. changing all settings the I somehow would relate to keyboard inputs
3. I used the " developer options -> input -> Show taps / Pointer Location " to check if maybe my touchscreen sensors are broken and the phone actually registers an touch at the point where the little triangle button on the left bottom corner of the keyboard is. => No touch registered
Can someone help me or has similar experiences and a solution ?
Hi,
I am using Gboard, and had everything perfectly working until recently when I had the annoying black pad underneath the keyboard back. I tried to check and uncheck the (show button to hide keyboard) option in the navigation bar but with no luck. I am using no navigation bar, only gestures to enjoy the full-screen experience. Does anyone have the same issue? any solutions?
P.s. This issue wasn't present with Android 9. It started to happen after Android 10 update
