Keyboard hiding gesture and missing update center apps - LG G Flex 2

Hi, right off the bat H950 5.11PR rooted.
So, my problem is the gesture used for hiding the keyboard (swipe from top to bottom on keyboard) isn't working, on any keyboard, be it LG, Google or SwiftKey. The gestures section is missing in the keyboard settings, though the gesture for shrinking the keyboard works if you enable the one handed mode. Swiping to type also works.
It isn't a big pain,since I can hide it with the back button, but it's puzzling to say the least, anyone had the same problem?
Other thing, LG apps are just missing, when you go into the update center, there's LG backup and RemoteCall, nothing else. Right after factory reset, they were there, though only accessible if sim card wasn't present. Any solutions?

[Q] tp gesture breaks bluetooth keyboard

I recently bought a lenovo s580 phone. It has android 4.2.2 installed. I was able to pair an apple bluetooth keyboard with the phone and the keyboard is working fine. But there are several keys not working.
I found out that the phone has TouchPanel Gesture. I have never seen this feature before. This feature has an alphabet gesture in it. There are several keys in alphabet gesture including: o,w,m,e,c,s,v,z, left, right, up, down. These keys when pressed from bluetooth keyboard, it flashes a window saying Invalid Application: Application not set.
Basically this flash window keep on poping up and won't allow normal typing on bluetooth keyboard.
I tried to delete tpgesture app from system app list, it removed the window messaging, but the keys are still not working.
I've been trying to tackle this problem for a week now and could not find any other post about this issue.
Can any one help me solve this issue?
By the way, the touchpanel gesture otherwise works fine, I can assign any app to 's' key and pressing physical s key will launch the app. But this effectively makes the physical keyboard completely useless. I really want this feature be entirely gone so I can type normally.

Menu App or button changes?

Looking to see if there is any ability to get the right capacitive key to do anything other than switch/clear open apps? I sure do miss being able to hit the right key on my old phone and it would typically bring up menu options for whatever app you happened to be in and also a shortcut into your settings when on one of the home screens. What a PITA having to go up to the top right side of each app, hit the 3 little menu dots and change menu options that way.
Anybody figure any work-arounds or other 3rd party apps that can help out with this?
It would be nice if Alcatel would allow the right capacitive key to access the settings or menu of an app with a long hold of the button. Short hold of the button accesses the open apps. That would be intuitive. My old phone was the opposite, a short tap would open a backdoor to menu options and a long hold would open the active apps for dismissal or switch.
Very much an extra effort reaching up to the right when in Chrome to have to go to your bookmarks...that's just one example.
Any 3rd party launchers include something of this ability?
Also a PITA having to reach allllllll the way up to the top of the phone to pull down the notification panel. My old phone with KK 4.4.4 all you had to do was slide down anywhere on the home screen and the notification panel would come down. Vice versa, sliding up on a home screen would open the backdoor to your settings menu.
These are my two biggest *****es 24 hours into having this phone. Everything else I've tried so far seems pretty good.
I can propose solutions to two of your problems ..
(a) For bookmarks, could a bookmark widget help ? I believe Chrome has its own , but you could also use the stock widget and have it open any browser. Of course this only works in you are not already inside the browser. You can also try a browser with gestures. I think dolphin can do that.
(b) For the notification shade, you can use a launcher than offers a swipe down gesture. I use Apex which has gestures for free, and I have swipe down set for the notification shade.
Cool, thanks! Hopefully Alcatel is taking notes for future updates?
Did your phone have a custom room or Launcher? Those are not standard gestures for kit kat or stick Launcher.

Home soft buttons/gestures not working anymore

I'm having a weird issue with my Pixel 1, all of a sudden my swipe from bottom home gesture stopped working. I enabled the soft buttons bar again but even tapping the home button there does nothing neither does the app drawer button, however the back gesture and button works fine.
There's also a few more oddities like my registered fingerprints got deleted so I had to register them again, some settings were changed like the order of the quick action icons, swiping the fingerprint reader down doesn't open notifications, and so on.
I've had issues with my battery for a while so I thought it could be related but I still have issues after replacing it. Is this a know issue or some sort of malware maybe? I'm thinking about doing a factory reset but I'm wondering if there's a less nuclear option.
Thanks!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Same setup, same problem. Didn't noticed till now
Just I used to swype back above keyboard
I'm using Gboard and it does the same thing. I've never tried swiping over the keyboard until now. I don't think it's a bug. I think that's how is meant to be. Otherwise you might be closing your keyboard when your swiping a text message.
SwiftKey user w/o NovaLauncher l - no issues whatsoever
I ve got one plus 8 pro as my previous device amd there swipe back is working over the keyboard.
Closing keyboard each time i need to go back require one additional move, and swipe back above keyboard is not pretty good solution, since i cant do it by thumb, keeping device in one hand, keyboard is occuping almost half of the screen...
I do have the same problem. (using Nova with Gboard), whenever i swipe from right or left, it types a letter.. So i use keyboard hiding toggle in the Navigation bar area, when the keyboard is active.

Question Home and recent app gesture not working on Android 13

Hi, I received yesterday the latest update LE2113_11_F16 on my oneplus 9 in italy, I update from old version and find all my app and configuration but I can't use anymore home and recent app gestures ( while back gesture works ).
I tried:
-Switch to touch button instead gesture, but same issue home and recet app button not working
-Install a different laucher
-cancel data fo laucher app
The interface show touch event on the botto bar it move on the screen when drag, or the buttons show the shadow when pressed, but nothing happen, a little search show the similar issue happenend on old update too, main solution is hard reset of the phone, but someone can help me if there is another way, maybe cancel data of a system app the manage gesture
Hard reset and completely new setup , all work in the right way but I'm sure that there is a way to fix this issue after update without waste time in a new install of the phone
