I've been using gesture. It's great. Swipe from different sides and locations give me different apps, previous apps, etc.
But when I have it set up to swipe from the edge of the bottom side, it doesn't work. The sides work, though. When I rotate the tablet so that the side with the charger is now the left side, swipe from left edge doesn't work. When I rotate to make the charger side the right side, swipe from the right edge doesn't work.
Anyone else see this or is it just my tablet? It's the side of the charger that is giving me trouble.
No reply?
Looks as if the system UI bar is in the way. With the multitouch visualizer app, swipes from the bottom are also not recognized.

I'm sure it's not the UI bar. Because if I turn the tablet on its side, the UI bar is now away from the side with the charging port. And yet the side with the charging port still doesn't work. So, even if the side with the charging port is on the side or top, it will not work.

Right, if I rotate the tablet, swipes from the charger side edge work fine (with the multitouch visualizer), so in your case it can't be the UI bar.

I just used multitouch visualizer and sure enough swiping from the side of the charging port when it's on the side works just fine.
So, it has to be the gesture app.

So my Asus has an option where you can lock the bottom bar so you don't accidentally open the setting menu or press back during games/movies.
I want something similar for my Note10 as when using S-note my palm sometimes sits on the bar and opens the menu which is very annoying! This isn't a palm detection issue within the S-note app it's just a general Android tablet issue.
Anyone got any ideas?
Acctually, when your s-pen is hovering on your screen, your screen is automatically locked from your hand touch
correct me if I'm wrong
Dam you're right. I guess the issue happens when I lift the pen too high and still lean on it. Might need to adjust my writing style.

You can use air view pointer as indicator is your pen too high or not..

I've googled it and got nothing.
Search this forum and not found it either
On Windows 8, if I scroll my mouse to the left/ left corner of the screen, I can see my current apps.
I can then close them.
With my keyboard connected I can do this on my surface using trackpad.
How do I do it without my keyboard connected?
I don't want to swipe them in, I want to see the icons of the apps I have running so I can close them.

you have to swipe in from the left a short distance. I don't own a windows touch device but did get a go on a display model, was kinda fiddly to get the distance just right, was probably about half the distance you need to swipe to switch apps. With some practise you should be able to nail it.

There's two behaviours for a short swipe in from the left. I believe the default one is to "swipe in" the last used app. Whereas what you want is to see a list of currently running apps (me too).
Go Settings>Change PC Settings and you're looking for a setting something like "App Switching">"When I swipe in from the left edge, switch between my recent apps instead of showing a list of them". In 8.1 that setting is under PC & devices, I can't recall if it's the same in 8.
The default way to do what you're asking is to swipe in from the left edge, then swipe back to the edge without releasing the swipe. It's a very quick and easy gesture easily made with the thumb; you don't have to swipe in more than maybe 1/4 of an inch (6mm) before swiping off the screen again to get he app switcher sidebar to appear.
To close the apps using touch only, you can do the following:
Drag the app from the sidebar off the bottom of the screen.
thanks, that's great.
Hello everyone,
I am coming from the Oneplus T7 Pro to the Note now because the other device had an issue. But what I am trying to figure out is the swipe back and forth when on webpages and apps. On the OnePlus it worked great as an out of box option. I would just swipe and it worked. But this note 10 does not do this I have to use the buttons at the bottom. Is there anyway to make it work like the Oneplus or am I SOL.
I do use Nova for my UI since I cant stand Samsungs.
Thanks for any help guys.
Idk how gestures work on OnePlus, but I swipe from the right edge of the screen to the left to go back, swipe up from the bottom right edge of the screen to see recent apps, and swipe up from the middle or left edge of the screen to go home. I use Nova as well. The One Hand Operation+ app (in Samsung Galaxy store) enables swipe left to go back. You can customize swipes a variety of ways, including swipe right from the far left side of screen. But I am right handed, so that gesture is pretty useless for me.
Only works with OneUi

This might be the single greatest nav gestures solution ever, thanks for the info! I'm on Nova and have bottom nav gestures but now with Goodlock and One Hand Op app I have right side screen gestures as well. Best of both worlds!:laugh:
So I've gotten used to the swipe up gestures for the navigation bar over my past few phones but going to the fold 2, on the big screen, the swipe gestures are too far apart for convenience. I see that there is an option for the traditional nav buttons to be offset to the right or left but i don't see an option for swipe gestures to be offset to the right or left. Is this even possible? Either within the Samsung settings or even a third party app?
The swipe gestures are new to me... never used them on my last phone (Note 8). I'm getting used to it on the small and large screens. I thought about switching back to include the buttons, but then it takes some of the video away which I think defeats the purpose of spending all this money on a phone with a large screen.
It's quite a bit easier if you go into the navigation options and switch to the gestures where you swipe from the side for back and bottom for home. When you do that anywhere up on the bottom will take you home so you can make both gestures in the lower right or left corner of the screen.

Thanks. I've been using this method. Although not my preference is the best option so far. I appreciate the recommendation.
It would be nice if they'd let us fiddle with the placement and type of nav gestures, it's true about any phone but I think more so with this one due to the form factor.
I heard the left side can be disabled for hamburger menus. My question is how and does it survive reboots and updates? This should be stock behavior c'mon google

Left back disable
adb shell settings put secure back_gesture_inset_scale_left -1
It survives reboots and updates.

Do you guys know that you can still use the hamburger menus without disabling the left side back gesture?
If you go into gesture navigation - gesture sensitivity. Slide the left or both left and right gestures to low sensitivity. You should then be able to use the left hand side hamburger menus in any app that supports it. There is a slight trick and learning curve to it. Basically move you thumb in a half circle kind of motion curving in and upwards to active the hamburger menus. Instead of directly sliding horizontally back in a straight line from the left side of the screen, as you do to use the back gesture. It works very well.

Great tip, thanks!
another workaround (though it's probably the intended behaviour) is to hold the finger on the screen just a little longer before sliding
