Hey! So basically the only thing keeping me from re-branding my Chinese mate 9 is the inclusion of the hide navigation bar button that can be added. I know it's a bit weird that I'm taking that over having native English understanding for the HIVoice app, or integration with Google Assistant; but I simply use this button so often.
Could anyone confirm if this button is available on the International or US branded ROM? I believe at launch, it was not.

It is not available on international and us branded ROMs.
Additionally, I got root, changed some files, got this button on international ROM, pressed and ... never got navigation bar back. Have to factory reset and abandoned tries to hide navigation bar.

With RomAur, in Advanced Settings (the app that comes with it, not the actual "Advanced Settings" inside Settings), you can hide the navigation bar. I tried it, but once you hide it, there is no clear way of getting it back other than disabling the option and forcing the "height" change to 1 pixel +/- so that it refreshes and shows the nav bar again.
Hopefully Essential takes some user feedback as far as features we would like to see going forward. If you post please try to keep it to reasonable features that mostly stock devices have or non os software tweaks.
The two big ones for me are
1. Night mode
2. Fingerprint shortcuts, primarily for notifications

+1
Damn just checked and realized no night mode since got the phone just today.
+1 on night mode, that thing is must have at system level. Don't want to go back to using apps like twilight etc
My needs are simple. Would like the option to rearrange navigation buttons, battery percentage, and finger print gestures.

Has anyone tried enabling night mode by enabling the UI tuner?. night mode is built into nougat but on some phones still has to be turned on. I don't have the phone yet to do it. Pull down the notification shade twice and then long press the settings cog icon. A wrench will show up next to the icon indicating that UI tuner has been enabled. Next install "night mode enabler" from the play store.
Unlocked bootloader, TWRP and root. Hopefully. ? - Not sure any devs are on board with this device.
I haven't received the phone yet, but does it support gestures while the screen is off? Such as double tap to wake, swipe up to unlock, etc.
Night mode is nice. I also like to separate ring volume from notification volume. I know that's not native to Android, but a simple mod makes all the difference for me.

Night mode for sure. Second would be system level to force apps to use the full screen, like what Samsung has for the s8+

Yep.
I'm waiting for TWRP.
For root, I plan to use Magisk to root and hide BL status. Since it's mostly ASOP, it should work like the Nexus 6P I have.
First off +1 to both, I really don't want to use the app that allows finger gestures, was a little sad to see it not available in stock Android since I got used to using it on the Pixel XL.

Just tried it and it isn't there sadly. Just like the fingerprint gestures I don't want to have to add it through an app.
On the flip side I got exactly what I deserved/wanted. Nothing but pure Android (minus the Essential Cam app and the Essential option in the settings) so that was good but in a way I want to kick myself because I forgot that these two features were add ons to the skin for the Pixel devices. Whatever the case maybe, I'll get over it lol.

Hopefully those features, switching navigation buttons and more will come to the table once we get the bootloader unlocked and the possibility of custom ROM's/mods. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Use this to change nav bar.
For battery percentage just enable the UI tuner
1. Changing audio track with volume buttons when screen is off.
2. Resizing nav bar height
3. Double tap to wake
I second the fingerprint gestures and double tap to wake wholeheartedly.
Would also love to see these:
1. Ability to use Light Flow or another LED manager to customize notification LEDs. This is my favorite thing about Android phones and Essential's stock LED patterns aren't cutting it for me. Somehow they managed to make it impossible for the LED to flash more than once every 5 seconds.
2. Ability to use 360 camera attachment as a fisheye lens. Currently the camera stitches two 210 images together to form a 360 photo. I want to be able to choose just one lens to capture an image.

The battery percentage option is in the system ui tuner I believe. Pull down the notification shade and long press on the settings icon then go into settings and look for it.
ability to change navbar height. it's too big uses unnecessary screen estate
There are several Improvements I would like to see in the phones software. More so just general optimization. However I think that most of these answers of what features are coming will be answered in Thursday's Q&A session with Andy Rubin on Reddit. So I guess we should wait until then to see where Essential and the ph1 is headed.
So its been 7 days since I updated my Galaxy S9 + to the official Android 9 Pie. I am loving it overall. I think moving the UI elements to the bottom was a nice touch, leaning towards one hand operation. I panicked at first seeing all that wasted space but once you scroll down, it returns to normal. Love the Dark mode but not fond of the quick panel icons, no big deal. So far i had notice these bugs or feature omissions:
• No inertia scrolling in recent Apps (no rubber band effect). Scrolling is just one at a time.
• Some animation Jittering and Stuttering in the UI but less frequent now as the OS settled.
• The options when you click the middle of the divider in split screen view is not working/showing up.
• Good lock Apps stopped working except One Hand Operation
• Good Lock One hand operation is miles better IMO than the new gesture system, even better than the stock pie gestures and Apple gestures. Why don't they just bake One hand operation into the system is beyond me. But at least we can hide the nav bar natively now. One hand operation can co-exist with default gestures without affecting each other.
• Finder seems slow in Pie than in Oreo. It doesn't show the most recent search (by showing the app icons) i made and often requires me to tap twice the name of the app then another selection of related things about that app and that is where the icon will appear. Multiple taps instead of one.
• Dolby Atmos for games seems missing
• Swiping down in the homescreen to show notifications Panel needs a long swipe down as oppose to before needs only a small swipe down.
• Gallery - some very high resolution photos are not displayed properly. You can see jagged/rough lines all through out. But when you set the photo into wallpaper, homescreen shows the same photos correctly.
• Samsung Internet - PiP button is gone and couldn't find it anymore even in settings.
• Keyboard - when gestures are on (nav bar is hidden) and keyboard is showing there is a large gap at the bottom as if the nav bar is still there
• Network name overlaps with notification settings in the notifications panel if you have many notifications.

1. Scrolling between recents doesn't stop at each app in recents on the k list recent C builds.
2. Don't atmos for games was reported as being somewhere different. I don't use it so I'm not sure where.
3. The keyboard gap is intentional. It's too help avoid hitting home when using space bar. If you use swiftkey there is no gap. I got home often when not intending to when using space bar.
4. Nav Gestures are appreciated here. No reason for something new when bar / gestures are fine. It's nice there's another option, but no reason it should be default IMHO.

1. How about in yours? So looks like it was not implemented in the official and not just me.
2. I set atmos to auto so i guess it automatically set it for games, movies, and music, etc. But no option for games only. It is in Sounds and Vibration>Advanced Sound Settings>Sound Quality and Effects
3. Ok
4. Ok to each their own. One Hand Operation + was released since June 2018 along with other Good lock Apps so its not really new. It gives us a taste of the upcoming Pie update. And as it name says, it allows you to use the left and right edges for gestures in one hand. Try to reach the nav bar and do the new default gestures with your thumb with one hand and you'll know what I mean.

1. Yes, in the Z build I used it would stop at each app. I hated it. On CSA3 it works like in oreo.
2. I'm not sure where I read it, but there was something specific about Dolby for gaming mode being hidden off somewhere else. I didn't put much thought into it since I don't game. Could have even been in the pie thread for the 965F.
4. I do occasionally have a problem reaching that one button with my thumb in one handed mode. I've gotten used to it to be honest. The S9+ isn't the biggest device I've owned. The v20 and Nexus 6 were bigger.
That said, I can see the value in more one handed items. Choice is definitely a good thing. I'm just happy with the current implementation.
On the flip side, Samsung (and others) are always out to take more market share. I think they are seeing the error made by Apple. You can't raise prices and force unwanted changes on customers. Sticking with a more established bar / gestures would be the way I'd go. When you try to get new users, you want to give them something fairly familiar.
Just my opinion though.....
Its terrible IMO. Probably the worst implementation of Pie. Samsung went from having the best skin to the worst now.
After Factory Reset
Deal Breakers :-
1:- Recents animation is worse than 200$ phone. When u are inside an app and press or trigger recents menu. It glitches and lags like everytime. Its only smooth when u are in the homescreen.
2:- Device Care Stuck at 95% for a long time before it shows status.
3:- Launcher sometimes lags when scrolling between pages.
4:- Scrolling lag in apps like reddit and playstore. Oreo scrolling was smooth.
Lag is the major issue in pie however IMO the icons are literally the worst now too. Experience Ui icons were 100x better.
It's good. It's fixed my bluetooth latency issue.
Does anyone have problem with Samsung Cloud failing to sync?

I didn't factory reset, but that was the most annoying the recents scrolling. Animations in almost everywhere were lagging but as the OS settled and after a few reboots, its fluid 98% of the time. But still, i missed oreo due to its fluidity and icons and quick panel icons. No issues with device care.
Plugging in charger sound/volume is annoying. Was better/more subtle on Oreo.
So far so good despite the jitters on my BT phone (Sennheiser 4.50), if I use with wires, no problems at all... of if I use with another BT phone like Anker, no problems too.

Well... I am thinking of going back to Oreo acually..
1.Hangs, reboots
2.Stock launcher has this huge space underneath icons even with gestures on, same space thing on stock keyboard(using gboard removes it on keyboard)
3.My games dont launch like they did on Oreo
4.Notifications are messed up, constant connect/disconnect on my gear 3, even when turned of they show sometimes.
Maybe Goodlock 2019 will keep me on 9... but atm im very tempted to go back to 8.0 :/
For me, the One UI is great. But I don't like, that they removed the Audio Source in the USB-Settings.
When using DEX Pad the screen of the phone remains on until it times out and turns off. But when clicking on a text input field the screen turns on again. DEX is still missing a lot of functionality like widgets and direct dial shortcuts for example.
Video call audio issues
while onj video call in IMO the audio seems to be broken and blurry sound is heard
I love it aside from game launcher going MIA, thought it was just a beta thing but guess not
Found out it's more AT&T BS
Has anyone noticed the volume is so much quieter now? Looking for solutions. I'm not hard of hearing but I can barely hear my sounds anymore. That is a HUGE deal breaker for me, even tho there are some things I'm liking. Plus good Lock. Used that daily, multiple times a day. Now I have to remember to turn off wifi and turn on Bluetooth and vice versa multiple times a day to keep my battery in check. PITA. But that is negligible to the volume issue.
I´m pleased with OneUI... however, I really hate the fact that I cant turn of adaptive icons in Pie/OneUI. The third party apps get the worst loocking icons ever...

I installed Nova Premium at first, but when I changed icontheme Nova started to randomly change size of the icons. Even if I changed it back two hours later it got a different size. Not all icons, just random ones.
Just upgraded from the Moto One Action to the G Stylus, definite upgrade for sure.
One thing that concerns me is that they appear to have removed the One-Button Navigation option for 3rd party launchers, I know 3rd party launchers as a default in Android 10 don't integrate with the gesture navigation as of yet and default to the 3-button option.
The Moto One Action runs Android 10 but had that Moto one-button option, is it hidden or just gone on this newer model?
I'm using the one button/gesture system navigation with the included launcher on the stylus. Worked out of the box. There's a setting under settings, system, gestures, system navigation to enable it.

Again, fully aware that with a stock launcher the default Android 10 one-button nav works fine, I am speaking specifically about the Moto Gestures that allowed their version of one-button nav on Android 10.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about using the included launcher with system navigation gestures on the Stylus since you mentioned the lack of gesture system navigation with a 3rd party launcher. I don't have a Moto One Action so I guess I'm unclear about what referring to. I don't have a Moto Gestures app on my Stylus. I do have a Moto Actions app that includes touch screen & accelerator gestures such as chopping to toggle the flash(light), three finger screenshot, swipe to shrink, etc. Perhaps that's what you're looking for.
Hopefully Google keeps their promise and enables gesture system navigation soon. Then we'll see how long Motorola takes to release an update.

All good, no worries. These features are also on the G7, X4 and the Moto One series, if it was a specific thing to one model I wouldn't even be questioning why those chose to remove actual helpful functions. There's no technical reason for not having them on the newer model(s).

Hi, The issue with the Android 10 Google One Button Navigation is that in the Google version, the longer bar, the back page feature which worked well in the Moto G, shorter bar, does not work in Googles bar.
One example is if you are using the Amazon Shopping app and selected a product to view, you cannot swipe left in the long Google bar to return to the menu as you can do with the shorter Moto G bar. You need to return to the Amazon Home page and then start the search from the beginning again.
This error also occurs within other apps when wanting to swipe left to return to a previous page.
When selecting the longer Google Bar in the Moto G8, the same problem occurs when navigating within an app. Fortunately the Moto G8 affords the option of choosing the Moto G shorter Navigation Bar.
If you swipe left in the longer Google bar, it goes back to the previous screen of the previous app.
Please can someone suggest how to get the shorter Moto G bar back again? We have Moto G7, G8 and G9 phones, the G7 and G8 still have the shorter Moto G bar, the Moto G9 does not have the option to select it in the Navigation settings and we really don't want to go back to the three button navigation. Thank you.

Can someone raise this with the Motorola team? I just returned my Moto G 5G phone because of stupid the android 10 system longer bar navigation. I really wanted Motorola's own one shorter bar nav!!!!
I've been debating this phone vs the g power for more storage, but it seems like the g power has more root support for it and more hacking in general that has been done for it? Anyone that can give me some feedback here? I was hoping there'd be a lot more options for custom ROMs or am I missing something?
To force one button navigation with a 3rd party launcher use adb and enter:
adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural
(to disable: just change "enable" to "disable")

to go back with Google's gesture navigation, you swipe in from either edge of the screen
@tendiez01 - Thank you for that "swipe in from either edge of the screen" suggestion, it works perfectly.
Quick question. I've had my phone since Monday. I'm fairly used to the gesture system available in OP6 for recent and back. OP8t throws that out the window with Google Assistant and makes back gesture from the side of the screen... In a lot of the apps I use, side swipe is used for a different function so I end up going back all the time.
Any way to change this without root? Waiting for that to be fully developed before I hop on it.
Setting >> gesture
Choose 3 buttons

Change to 3 buttons navigation, and use Vivid Navigation Gestures app to emulate the OP6 style gesture. In the app you can hide the stock navigation bar.
Some users are also reporting that left and right edges are not very sensible to single touches. Probably an overprotective edge rejection. The corners are affected by this, and google assistant, so if you are using gestures it can be a pain to use any buttons in that area.

Sorry when I commented back then, I hadn't received my 8T yet. Hiding navigation bar doesn't work on Android 11 yet, so Vivid NG can't hide the nav bar now.
I used navigation gestures for awhile...many months ago. In my opinion it is like so many other "changes" on phones...zero bezels (stupid), no headphone jack (stupid), and many others...and I feel that navigation gestures are stupid also because they never seem to work the way people want them to work!!!! What is wrong with the 3 button navigation that just simply works? I went back to this method several weeks/months ago and never missed the gestures because the buttons ALWAYS work the way you expect them to work...so simple. SMH
