Something to do with 1 handed mode from Goodlock, there is already a recent thread about this somewhere

I just got the Pie upgrade today in the UK. Try using Google Keyboard (Gboard) I prefer it to SwiftKey.

I just uninstalled goodlock but still got the 2gray lines?

I guess you have the One Hand Operation + which is part of Good Lock. I would not uninstall it, but embrace, it's the best side gestures you get on Android and it's native to Sammy! You just need to know how to set it up. You can e.g. swipe diagonally up to get to your recents, swipe horizontally to "back" and diagonally down to home. I also have the diagonal long swipe set to lock the screen, pretty neat! The grey lines I don't like, but just open the app and make them transparent and you're good to go

Having problems with multiple keyboards too, I don't think it likes the curved edge

[Q] Keyboard choices with 4.2.2 out of the box

My Note 8 came with 4.2.2 out of the box. My keyboard option is only the full keyboard, no option to select the floating or split keyboards. I did a factory reset (seems to be the standard suggestion for any problem when you call the manufacturer, not just Samsung). This didn't fix the issue, I didn't have high hopes since it came from the factory this way. I have an open issue with the Samsung 800 support folks, still hopeful they will find a solution. I have been on the phone with them numerous times and so far no luck. Has anyone out there found this same issue with a Note 8 with 4.2.2 out of the box? Am I missing anything else that I haven't discovered yet? I know that many options on my Note 2 aren't on this device.
When the keyboard is displayed, pinch in the keyboard and you'll get some options for keyboard display there, including split keyboard

Try going to the keyboard settings and turn off "Continous input"

I don't see that setting in my keyboard settings.
My problem seems to be due to my device being loaded with a build that nobody at Samsung has been able to track down, it's not the 4.2.2 build that was delivered in the upgrade. They are still working on it, hopefully they will figure out how I can load the right build.

When the keyboard is up, there should be a button in the lower right hand side that has a little gear on it. Click and hold it, that should bring up an icon menu. Hit the one that looks like a gear, that should bring up the Samsung keyboard settings.

(By the way I meant the left side, not the right)
If you go to settings -> Language and input do you see the Samsung keyboard? If you do, try hitting the gear to the right of the Samsung keyboard listing.
Otherwise, right now if I were you I'd be looking for a paddle.

I'm definately up the creek until Samsung throws me a paddle.

newsboard/flipboard can it be removed ?

So the left most screen is this news thingy that is similar to flipboard; also when i flip from screen to screen they are no longer circular (like the note 2 - what I mean is when i get to window n; it doesn't then go to window 1) can i make it circular (even if I can't remove the flipboard) ?

To disable Flipboard Briefing, long press on your home screen to bring up the home screen settings. Uncheck the box for Flipboard Briefing. That will get rid of it.
Ok missed that option; it works like a charm (hope they add it to the tablet); still can't do the circular thing which I like but not end of world.
Endless scroll is what you're looking for. I don't think it can be done on the stock launcher. It'd annoying, I agree.
note 2 had it; also on the note 2 icons look nicer; less blocky and tend to be dark with white letters instead of white with dark letters.

Unless there's something specific you like about Touch Whiz, have you considered installing a custom launcher? You can change the icons, the scrolling, and a ton of other things. I'm running Nova and love it.
yea i thought about switching to nova; not quite ready to go that far yet but maybe eventually.

It's extremely quick and easy. It's something you could install, try, and if you don't like it you can go straight back to Touch Whiz. Your Touch Whiz home screens will be exactly as left them.
Nova's actually really nice. I just installed it and got it running on my SGS3, and it's given me no problems at all. Unlike most people, I don't mind TW. My phone is rooted and I'm running a TW custom ROM that just removes a bunch of crapware. But Nova has sort of breathed new life in to my phone. When I do get a new Note or Nexus 6, I'll probably go right back to Nova. I even paid the $4 for the extra features.
I have one question though. When Nova is running, does TW stop running and release memory? Or does Nova just run on top of TW, and use up more memory?

Android 10 navbar issues.

Hey guys.
So I got my OTA android 10 update today.
But after updating I have gotten a whole lot of issues with the navigation bar.
1. The new android 10 gestures does not work on 3rd party launchers, this was however expected.
2. The main problem is that I now have a space where the navbar is on the bottom of my phone, this is Hella annoying and frankly looks like crap.
For example, I am unable to strech widget all the way down, I also can not place icons where I want.
There is also an ugly overlay on the bottom when using Chrome or the playstore for example.
Is this how it is on Samsungs Android 10? Or have I just messed a setting?
I hade the One plus 7 pro running android 10 before this phone, on my one+ I had none of these issues.
(please spare me the comments about how you shouldn't update right away)
Sorry my question or answer dont help the white bar is were some apps say go full screen then closes it down have you thought about doing a back and rest on it like factory reset

Depends on the launcher you're using I suppose.
Googles Android Gestures in official Samsung Android 10 don't work well, but I'm having no troubles using the Samsung implementation of Android Gestures with Nova Launcher.

I am using Nova launcher an the navbar section is constant, even though I'm using the old gesture based navigation from android 9.
I have same problem with bar not disappearing from bottom. It is so annoying . Maybe factory reset will help but I don't want to risk, setup of whole system takes me a lot of time. Anybody knows solution for this?
I did a factory reset and now all is working well.

Speaking only from experience with my S10+ and the official Android 10 release, I too had to do a factory reset to clear up a bunch of glitches. We will see what happens once my Note 10+ gets the new version.

Its always a good idea to perform a factory reset after a major android version update.
Themes were causing this issue for me.
I set navbar ht to 5 with hex installer and it fixed the gap below the keyboard.
Luckily it worked for me out of the box. I'm not a fan as some things become more tedious with this change, but at least I didn't have any issues. Definitely prefer avoiding a reset where possible. Even just using Nova, KLWP, and themes, a reset plus having to set everything back up is annoying af.

How are you using the old gesture based navigation from Android 9 with Nova launcher? I mean do you use Navigation buttons in Samsung settings can can still use gestures? Please show me how. My swipe gestures to switch between open apps don't work anymore in Android 10 when the navigation buttons are enabled.

One UI 2.0 new navigation bar gesture

Previously, double tab recent tab will switch to previous app.
For Android 10, I need to press and drag from center to bring up recent apps. However, I can't find faster way to switch to previous app.
Any one know how?
If you do that motion (for recents) and flick it to the right in just one motion switches back to previous app.

I switched back to the original one. Double tap is so much easy. I use One Hand Operation+ which can go back the same way.
And I use Nova Launcher. New gesture is not compatible

I don't have the Android 10 update yet but from what I see in the new Oneui2 you can just swipe to the right at the bottom to go to your previous app. Doesn't get better than that. It's just about the same as iPhone gesture.

I tried this method https://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-...ova-launcher-and-other-third-party-launchers/ but it always seems to go back to the nav bar at the bottom after a while.
I don't know if anyone else is facing the sake issue in regard to the navigation gestures. But when I type faster on the screen keyboard I sometimes end up in the home screen or launching another application as if I hit a hidden home key or recent key.

I still haven't received the Android 10 update but I will definitely look for that when I get it. Thanks q
I recently found out that good lock does not work on android 10, and I rely on it very much, I use one handed operation because I hate the nav bar, I can not tolerate having all the space it takes being wasted, so I have it hidden and I use gestures, but I am seeing that gesture nav is a nightmare on android 10, I think I will stick on blocking the update, as I did since day one, precisely because of these things

I'm on Android 10 and have Good lock installed, One Hand Operation+ works fine. Not all apps are available in Good lock yet but should be within a couple of months, like when One UI originally came out.
One hand operations+ works also on Android 10, with that you have granular customizable gestures including switch to last app, recents and a comfy lateral quick switch for all app opened! OHO+ works also without good lock app installed, you can sideload it from apkmirror or here in the xda forums taking advantage of nicelock. Nicelock also integrates an information tab with all the modules working on Android 10
Hex installer is working
On andriod 10. Hex installer fixed the weird nav bar issue when set to swipe. I set the nav bar size to 5. Swipes work without the huge black bar under the keyboard.
One hand operation still works. I use nova but one hand operation is my preference anyway.
Also, I cannot hide the carrier logo or move the clock. I tried systemui turner. It doesnt work for clock or carrier. Some other functions work though.
For now I just set the weather consistent notification to get rid of the AT&T on statusbar.
Hopefully goodlock will fix this when updated.

Good Lock is updating to be more compatible with Android 10. It is not finished yet. When all capability issues are resolved and updated, that's when we will get our update.

One UI 2.1 gesture problem

Did anyone notice that after updating note 10+ (in my case) to one ui 2.1 , The “back” gesture from the sides of the screen is not working while the keyboard is opened and shown on the screen.
for example when you texting on the screen (and the keyboard is on) you can do back gesture just in case you collapse the keyboard down or if you do the gesture above the keyboard (the upper half of the screen).

Oh i see, they moved it, you have to swype above the keyboard, to get it to go back.. Not on the keyboard!
I think that change makes sense, prevents accidental go back when you swipe to type...
BUT, you can fix it easily. Download One Hand Operation Plus from Good Lock, there's a setting called "Fit to keyboard" that does exactly what you want

Seem like it duplicate with feature in One Hand Operator+ and they decided to remove it in default gesture.
Post one Ui 2.1 update
Not glad to hear I'm not the only one experiencing issues, but glad I'm not alone in thinking I am.
I did notice the option to change or remove the gesture features to hide the keyboard.
I want to know why my keyboard is totally different. The keys, predictive text words that have been learned are gone or replaced with something different. Its uncomfortable. My biggest gripe is that a game that I play, pubg mobile is running terribly laggy now. I've tried all the obvious fixes too. Nothing makes it better.
