Anyone know what caused this? I actually preferred swiping from the left in apps that are written that way. An example would be the Amazon app.

I have accidentally opened up a menu that I have never been able to do before (or again). I think I was long pressing something but I am not sure.
Anyways, at the bottom of the screen, there was what looked like a speech bubble with 5 icons inside of it. Looked a lot like the menu in ICS. I don't know how I did it and I have been trying to do it again. Anyone know what I am talking about?
Thanks,
Mike

I got the latest Cyanogenmod version on my phone today and I noticed that apps that have the menu bar at the top right hand corner (the three vertical dots) don't have it anymore. For example, the Google Chrome app no longer has the menu and you can't do things like open an incognito tab.
Does anybody know if this is a known issue with cyanogenmod? Thanks!

I just got a Shield at the weekend, and I'm loving it apart from a rather annoying snag that I have come across.
When I call up the menu within an app, I get the usual bar along the bottom of the screen showing various options.
Usually, the rightmost option is 'more', which brings up a sub menu with further options.
For some reason, I can't select any of the options in the 'more' menus on any of my apps.
I have tried using the buttons, the touch screen, and the mouse pointer, but none of them will highlight or select options.
This is close to a disaster, because most of my apps have something important hidden away in the submenus, and I can't use them properly on my Shield.
I'm using some of these same apps on my Xperia Play, and they work fine.
Have I got a setting wrong or something, or is this a bug in the Shield firmware?
Can you give an example of an app so other users can try to repro?
EDIT:
False alarm!
I thought my Shield was up to date, but I guess it wasn't.
Updated Android, and the menus are working fine now.
Adding apps to the home screen should be simple:
"To add app shortcuts to the Gear's home screen, go to Apps on the Gear, tap and hold an app icon, then drag and drop it on the home icon at the top of the screen."
This doesn't work for me. I tap and hold and nothing happens. I've had no problem removing apps from the home screen through settings > edit home screen. But I cannot add.
Any suggestions?
Anyone else have this issue?

When you do a long press, nothing happens? The app should "pop up" and move with your finger just like when you drag and drop on your phone. Then drop it onto the home button at the top that appears, and you can then rearrange all the apps on the home screens.

If its the same for home pages where you can't rearrange stuff, try wiping the device? If that doesn't work, you might have a defective digitizer touchscreen.

Yes its the same. I can go into settings > display > edit home page and I can long press to move and remove icons there. So I would assume that means the touchscreen itself is fine. But I cannot add through those settings.
Wiping the device is my next move after asking on here (but I'm holding off on that for now). And after that I'll be calling the Samsung shop where I bought it.

OK so I wiped it, without restoring. Noticed straight away that below the "edit home page" option in settings, I now have a "manage apps" option which lets me do what I need. Where was it before? Who knows!
According to the help FAQs I should still be able to move icons/apps without going into settings. I still can't do that. Is it correct that I should be able to?

I don't have the same issue you do. But I also don't have "manage apps" under the "edit home page". Are you seeing this under "display" in your settings on the watch itself? Someone else has the option in GM to send an emergency message like the pebble. They are running the same sowtware number of GM that I am yet that option is not on mine. I don't understand how so many of the same watches with the same software can be so different.

It seems the emergency assistance option has to do with what phone/rom you are running. The option is not there on stock T-mobile Note 3, but if you put the international rom on it, it does.
When hitting the back button when using the pixel style nav bar it doesn't bring you back but sometimes it bring you to the recent apps menu instead. This is how to replicate the issue:
1) Open any app and the back button will appear (using the pixel style back, home nav bar)
2) Instead of pressing precisely on the back button, press slightly to the left of it (the blank space on the left of the back button).
3) Now instead of going back it goes to the recent app menu.
I've uploaded a video of Google drive showing the issue, check here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oc_-KmvlJ45_R6jDR_it3KLXwgkmGWO9/view?usp=drivesdk
As seen in the video, I'm clearly hitting the back button but it doesn't always bring me a step back, but instead pulls up the recent app menu. And all i have to do is to just hit the left of the back button icon or hit the left corner of the nav bar. Now this is annoying cause you have to be very precise with where you press, slightly to the left of the back button and it'll trigger the recent app menu. That's ridiculously stupid and inconvenient, the entire space around the back button should be enough to toggle the back action, not just the small back icon.
Anyone else facing the same issue?
Would be great if someone from OnePlus can acknowledge this issue!
