I updated my T-Mobile G7 today and I can't get gesture nav to work. It won't allow me to swipe to go to a recent app and pushing the clear all button does nothing. Anyone others having nav issues like this?
Yes I got my update over the weekend and I've been having the same problem. I'm assuming it's bugged because the recent apps tab is vertical and not horizontal scroll.
It works on my phone. I'm just miffed that the nav bar is the same size even though the buttons are much smaller. So I just went back to the other button mode.

What if, when you didn't pay attention to the Navigation Bar at the bottom it SMOOTHLY flew down the bottom of the screen. And when you wanted to use it, you just swiped up and it responded right away!?
Wouldn't that be awesome? I don't know if it's possible to do or if Google would have to implement it. If you can do it let me know when you make it!
That's what I have set up on my MoPho, using Apex launcher. I've hidden both the dock and notification bar. When I need them, I swipe up for my app drawer and swipe down for my notifications. I press home softbutton to toggle my status bar, and also set double-tap anywhere on screen for my GoSMS to launch.
I like the clean look

Swiping up with one finger might not be a good idea. Say for example you're in the settings menu and you swipe down, either the phone will open up the notification bar or scroll down.. or both. Swiping up and swiping down with 2 fingers would be great!
Mybad, just realized that I was still in the Nexus section and not the Photon lol, time for bed :7
In some ROMS out there you already have the ability to hide the nav bar - and use these controls from the advanced power menu instead. Same option, different solution.
What i want to do is hide the nav. bar while using the onscreen keyboard - but i can't! Autohide doesn't work when the onscreen keyboard is on. This creates two problems, one when I go to tap on the spacebar I accidentally tend to tap the home button on the navigation bar instead, and two the keyboard with the addition of the navigation bar takes up so much room on this new low ceiling screen that I often cannot even see what I'm typing. I went to the Best Buy store today and spoke with their Samsung expert. She said there have been a lot of complaints about this and it effects the phones too and it started with a new update.
I recently switched to using the OnePlus gestures on my Pixel 2 XL to try out some new gestures, and I hid my nav bar using both the XDA Navigation Gestures app as well as Hide Nav Bar (recommended by the OnePlus gestures app). Using both methods, I've noticed that once the nav bar disappears, only half of toast notifications (or whatever they're called, the small notifications that appear on the bottom of the screen and disappear quickly) appear on screen, while half of it is offscreen. The same thing happens to the volume bar while in landscape mode, which basically makes it useless since I can't see anything.
Has anyone seen this before? And is there any other way of hiding the nav bar (so that it doesn't come up even with a swipe up) so that I can see everything like normal? It seems like these notifications/volume adjuster/other elements are dependent on having a certain border at the bottom.. Is there any way to emulate that? Thanks!
I can't seem to reproduce the problem for toasts (tested using Discord for the toast that appears when downloading an image), but I do have the volume bar in landscape mode problem. Is there a specific app you notice cut-off toasts in? Would be nice to know if there is a solution.
All in all I have no problems with Pie, except for the BIG one. The new gesture control is pulled from Satan's bottom (and as a Norwegian black metal fan I know everything about that orifice!) - in K9 I rearrange my inbox every time I want to go to the home screen, and back button messes with stuff on my own home automation websites. Like turning on the radio in the bedroom when my wife's sleeping. Not a popular mistake... And on Oreo I was so glad to use the auto-hide buttons so I could have stuff full screen and still have normal navigation. Is there any way to get that back in Pie, the way it was?

+1 ... this seems to be a race to release something half-designed out into the open to see it smothered by the crowd ... the navigation is the one BIG issue that many are reporting; the auto-hide and slide to view navigation bar of S9/+ Orea is just great and must not have been redesigned ... anyways the closest an alternative is to choose the gesture navigation option and then disable the hints at the bottom of the settings page ... this way the navigation bar is hidden ... but it's not as intuitive/good as the Oreo NavBar ... ( Settings -> Display -> Navigation Bar -> ... )
and one interesting feature ... touch the home button and slide right ... hmm that is nice ... try it ...
Yeah, but as I said it's too easy to miss and do something unwanted instead of the gesture from the bottom. For me it' a race to be fancy, like the iSheep...
Well, the title. I really want the two button nav bar.
I know theres gesture nav bar, but i dont like it fully.
I want the back and home button to be tap and recent apps to be dragged up. Like two button. or home and recent apps swapped. At least the back button tap.
I also have done adb shell to get two button, but that was kinda "buggy", not fully implemented or removed.
I also have used the xda nav pill app, but it wasnt just the same. And hiding the original nav bar kinda ruined the phone.
So anyone have a solution or something? I also have stock android and oreo. I wonder if android pie works with two button on samsung?
