When trying to switch back to a previous app by swiping right on the navigation bar (directly on that little assist bar) i can go through my open apps, but i cannot open any of them. It just jumps to the first one. Surprisingly i can jump to the last one by swiping left without issues.
Since i dont want to reset this phone right now and its not that annoying, maybe someone already had the same issue and got it fixed.

The top of the screen where the notification bar is is unresponsive...sort of. It registers touch like normal, except it thinks I am touching the screen about half a centimeter below where I am actually touching it. This is only present in the status bar area. Also, it is probably not a software issue as I have wiped the phone and installed other roms and kernels since the problem came up. Also, what's strange is that every now and then, it will just start working like normal again, and then stop after a while.
As a work around, you can use a custom launcher (adw, go, apex) which has homescreen swipe gestures and use something like "swipe down" to access the notification bar. If you notice this issue impedes your everyday use, swipe gestures are probably your best solution.
I have a Lenovo P2 for around 3 months now. It works wonder but a few days ago, I woke up and noticed that the bottom part of the phone is not responsive to anything other than the navigation bar. Anyone else have this problem? I have read several threads from March and it seems that they have the same problem.
Methods I tried to fix it :
1. Resetting the phone to factory default.
2. Removed the screen protector.
3. Install the November security update.
None of this work. Before that day, it works perfectly, now the touchscreen on the bottom part only respond to the navigation bar and not any other apps. I ran test using Lenovo Companion app and it seems that it doesn't recognise the bottom part as a touchable area either. Swiping up the navigation bar also doesn't work, when horizontal the swiping action works on the top part of the phone not the bottom. Although it's possible to swipe up from the bottom, it takes many repeated quickswipes before it show up, I don't think it's lag either since the top part works instantly.
I am considering taking this to a Lenovo phone collection shop for claiming warranty. If this is software, the same might happen again after they fix it.
Hello,
Sorry if this has been covered else where. I found stuff that was similar but not quite the same.
I am having an issue with Pixel 2 XL where the touches will not track over the navigation bar. If you tap on the navbar, the touch is forced to the top or bottom depending on if you tap is closer to the top or bottom respectively. If it's pushed to the bottom, it works OK, but taps forced to the top trigger the search bar.
When dragging down, the navbar essentially blocks the drag, then a second tap registers below the bar as you pass over it. Since you're at the end of your drag at this point, you lift your finger and the second tap registers as a button press. This results in accidentally tapping the nav bar buttons when you are just dragging down.
I played with it so much that I found if you get just the right spot you'll, end up with two active tap-spots. If I drag rapidly across the nav bar for like 10-30 seconds, it will return to normal, but the phone gets a bit freezy, and seizes up randomly for 3 to 10 seconds at time. After a while it seems to return to normal.
I have also experienced the "screen freezes for a bit, then suddenly registers 100 taps" issue. I'm not sure if they are related. If anyone has insight into this issue as well, i'd love to hear it.
Is anyone else having these issues? I have a video but I'm not allowed to post outside links.
Thanks very much

I tried to replicate what your talking about. However, I couldn't do it. Maybe because I'm using Nova launcher, which may be a viable option for you. A factory reset might be helpful, however, we all know how much fun that ISN'T! Definitely an interesting issue your having. Then again, I think these devices have a mind of their own at times ?
Thanks for your reply. Forgot to mention, I have tried safe mode and done a factory reset and it did not remove the issue. It seems after a factory reset you are still on Oreo 8.1, so I'm not able to confirm it the issue exists in 8.0. I also have tried Nova Launcher.
Hey guys, new to the group so i apologize if this has been covered before. Has anyone had issues with the nav bar? My screen keeps freezing up and i cant do anything until i hit the back button on my navigation bar/soft key. Once i hit the back button its like it unlocks my screen and i can go about my buisness. I never had this issue until i was messing around with setting on chrome://flags. I went back and restored all flags to default but it doesnt seem right. like my navigation bar stays highlighted now also. any help would be amazing. Device has unlocked bootloader but hasnt been rooted or rom'd
I was quite fond of the triangle/circle/hamburger soft buttons on previous devices, but figured the little horizontal line was progress and I'd get used to it.
But I'm not.
What is the trick to get the list of all open apps to show? If I try over and over to press, pause, pull I can get it to work after 5 to 10 tries.
I must be doing something wrong, what's the trick?
If you use gesture navigation, pull up from the bottom in the middle, and stop after a couple of cm.

The phone gets shipped with gesture navigation deactivated. You can switch it back to the 3 button navigation in settings. Then you'll have your app drawer button.
