What happened to slide and delete gmail - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So normally I could swipe to delete mail. I don't see this as an option anymore?
In addition I don't see the option to delete from the notification tray. Just archive.

Nothing happened to it, it still works that way, just go in to your settings and make sure "swipe to delete" is checked, and under "archive and delete" set it to "show delete only"

Thanks!

App Drawer Shortcut

I am using Apex launcher on Embryo.
Somehow I ended up with a blueish, half circle shaped tab on the left side of my homescreen. When I click on the half circle tab it opens a type of app drawer where I can vertically scroll through my apps.
I am not sure how it got there and I cant figure out how to turn it back off.
I know this is a stupid question but I cant figure it out! Hopefully someone can help me get rid of this thing.
Long press. Remove

Display settings and uncheck multi-window (I think, I remember it being there), or what xcrazydx says.

I removed one app 5 times because I could only get to settings during initial setup. I was so angry there was no menu button. Then I heard about the long press
Step by step like a tutorial if you want to.

New Message preview
After receiving a new text message, there's an alert on the lockscreen that reads, "Messages New Message". Anyone else find this practically useless? Is there a way to get that notification to give a preview of the message?
What I've been doing is either tapping on the New Message banner then swiping in the highlighted box below to unlock and go straight to that message. Or I pull down the top panel and tap on the message preview found there. Either works, but seems like extra steps.

okay. I will try it. thanks.
You can create an auto-reject list.
From the Phone App - going into settings (3 dots on the top right) and Settings-> Call -> Call rejection. From there you can set to reject form list and start creating a list of numbers you don't want to hear from.

If you open the messaging app, go to settings, notifications, and at the bottom if you check lockscreen it will show the sender and part of the text instead of just new message. You can also turn on pop up where it shows a pop up message where you can reply to a message without going into the messaging app. Pretty convenient. Hope this helps.

Anyone know of a way to make long pressing the home button on the lock screen turn on flashlight like in the miui rom?
1. long press on the recent apps button while looking at one of your home screens, or long press on the home screen to get your scrren menu then hit "home screen settings" uncheck "my magizine" to get rid of the magazine tab
2. go into camera and hit settings turn off picture stabilization to make the camera much more responsive and get rid of that "please hold still" delay when trying to take pics of moving targets (dogs, kids, etc)
3. until we get root third part apps will NOT save to the external SD card (your camera and some stock apps will, but playlists from 3rd party mp3, back ups from any back up app, 3rd party notepad, 3rd party alarms like smart alarm, etc will not) so be careful that if you need to back something up use dropbox or something like that these third party apps may back up to an emulated storage (still internal storage) so if you factory reset when we actually get root you will still lose everything you thought you saved
4. if someone helped you hit the thanks button, lol
Disable/hide apps you don't use from your app drawer: go to app drawer - long press recents/hit menu button (three vertical dots) - select "Uninstall/Disable Apps"

So I was playing around with the fingerprint scanner and wanted to add more then 3 fingerprints. When I was setting up my thumb, I also swiped my pointer finger. After the set up was complete. I found it let me unlock the phone with both fingers from the one setup. I haven't seen this mentioned yet, so I figured someone out there might find it useful.

Already posted in the fingerprint thread but thought it could be useful here..
What I did was use the 3 allotted different fingerprints and scan my thumb at slightly different angles so I could swipe my thumb horizontally rather than vertically and it works a lot better now.

Thanks!! Just confirmed this worked for me. I was able to use right thumb, left thumb, and index finger on just 1 fingerprint setting.
I am going to copy and paste this info into the thread I made on the Fingerprint Scanner Tips.

This. I had enabled everything except notification access for ATN Manager in settings.
Go to Settings > Security > Notification Access and check the box beside ATN manager.
On a side note, does anyone have a way to get apps made for Gear 2 Neo on Samsung Apps store on Nexus 5? These default apps are okay but dont really do much in long term use.

I just installed ATN manager and turned on the permission to access notifications and I see no change. I have Galaxy Gear and ATNManager allowed in the Notification settings. I have gone through and check marked all of the programs I want notifications from.

In Gear Manager go to Notification and uncheck "Limit notification" and "Keep screen off" but do enable "Preview message"
There should be a section in there called "1) Instant alerts for Gear)" you should see "incoming call" underneath it - enable it.
After this, there should be another section underneath the first one "1)Notification for Gear apps", you will see ATN Manager in it - enable that. and below all of this should be "9) More notification". Select apps you want notifications from, for texting I use a third party app called EvolveSMS so therefore I had to enable notification for that app instead of Hangouts.
Good luck!

For "Notification for Gear apps" there is nothing there. But once I tapped on "More Notifications" it gave me a TOS prompt and once I agreed to it then it started working. I'm currently having other issues with ATN manager but I will open a new thread for that.

Enable Download booster ( Stock, No Root, Need Confirmation )

Ok I think I stumbled on how to enable Download Booster without root or anything. This is on a Verizon Galaxy S5, running Android 5.0.
Basically it seems like I am pulling up a menu that was supposed to be hidden. Oddly enough, now, when I go to Settings and look under "Wireless and networks" and click on "More networks" the "Download booster" option just shows up for me as if it was supposed to be there.
Anyways here are two different methods that may have made it work:
NOTE : Before doing these steps, I had "Hangouts" set as my default messaging app.
Method 1
1) Settings > Applications
2) Go to "Messages"
3) Click on "Default Messaging app"
4) When a prompt comes up saying "Change messaging app?" choose "Yes"
5) Click on "Default Messaging app" again
6) This time it takes you to a "More networks" screen
7) Click "Download booster" and turn it on.
8) Set your default messaging app back to Hangouts if you prefer it
Method 2
1) Open "Hangouts"
2) Go to "Settings" and then "SMS"
3) Click on "SMS enabled - touch to change your default SMS app"
4) It takes you to a "More networks" screen
5) Click "Download booster" and turn it on.
6) Set your default messaging app back to Hangouts if you prefer it
Basically I am just looking for someone to give this a try and see if they see the same thing. If it works, great - if not, I will remove this post (or at least update the title) so people don't waste their time. It definately seems to be enabled on my stock S5, and when I tried downloading a large file it seemed to kick in.
On lollipop 5.0 all you have to do is go to settings more networks is on the top

So on Lollipop, the Verizon S5 has it enabled / available by default? Wow.. I feel stupid.
Can you guys confirm that it actually boosts the download speed? It should show the icon at the top and show activity. Think there is a display in the pulldown add well when it is active

Gmail delete from notification bar

Hi
Previously in my S6E from the notification bar i had a delete option for Gmails but can't find this on the S8.
Anyone know how to get this back?
Cheers

Touch and hold the email notification and slide down.
You have to restart your phone and the delete option will appear.
