Can't seem to select it in the button combination bar for some reason. I see the others available and it even shows the icon in the help section but I can't actually use it.
You might have to ask this in the non-tmo forum to see if this is a T-Mobile only thing, or if it disappeared in all variants of the G5, but I can confirm that the QuickMemo button is also missing in my t-mo phone., and like you, I see it in the help demo.

Today I did a software reset so I could let me fiance use my phone since it was a little better than her outdated Huwei. Upon rebooting the Home button no longer funtioned. It will still wake the screen however it does not function in any other way (so obviously its not a physical issue).
I was able to pull up the files to view the mapped buttons and even tried the app on xda for button remapping. However the crossover comes with an extra function button in the top left corner which doesn't function at all any more. This tells me that the mapping file was over written with an incompatible file. Possibly an issue with a wrong file being assigned after a software reset. Not quite sure.
What I would like to happen is to see if anyone else here has a Pantech Crossover and can simply send me there button assignment files.
Another issue I ran into after the reset was the notification bar (still shows at the top) is not draggable. I am not able to pull it down or even hit the "notifications" button under the menu when you hit the menu button from the home screen.
I am no noob to technology so feel free to ask for anything. If you have a crossover and are unsure on how to get those files please let me know and I will direct you. (Please already be rooted.. there are plenty of great guides on these forums on how to do this for both firmware versions available)
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.
Hi, i was wondering if you guys can help me remap my home touch buttons to work how they used to (on some devices). Ive tried to get used to how it is now but i just cant get comfortable. I checked another thread thats similar to what i want done but not quite exactly what i was looking for.
I use the back button, home button, and recent apps button. My goal is to long press the home button and have recent apps open and use the recent apps button as a general settings button (instead of having to long press the recent apps to get there). Im basically trying to acheive the LG Optimus G setup. Its a minor tweak and i'd enjoy the phone even more this way.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! If theres a thread that I missed that fits my needs plzz direct me to it! Thanks!
First, please forgive me if there's a sub thread for this phone. I didn't find it, and the help saying use the device forum went back to the menu where I already didn't find it. ?
My issue is that my HTC 10 suddenly decided that every press of the overview button will now activate split screen, not just long press. I remember when I first turned this function on there was an option did I want it to activate split screen on normal press or long press, but now I've spent two days on Google and cannot find this option! I can't seem to turn the function on or off as the help pages refer to menus I do not have. (Device and Multi window - they aren't there!!) and other help only tells me that long press should be working. I've had no updates since it was last working normally.
Please, anyone know where this option is hidden?

Go to your application manager and find the app(s) that control split screen and clear data and wipe cache.

Any ideas what I'm looking for? I had a scroll through and nothing jumped out at me to be the service the controls this feature. Then again, they have names that aren't particularly intuitive.
Update - Looks like I found it, thanks. I cleared out system UI and it's normal again. Still odd that the option vanished, it was definitely an easy menu.
Hi,
Prior to updating to the newer firmware, my Bixby button would work all the time (I remapped it using BxActions). After the update, I've found that it works only intermittently. I've removed BxActions and have done a factory reset, but the Bixby button does not function all the time.
Wondering if this is due to the update or a hardware issue that I have?
I press it and nothing happens at all. Does this app need to be setup first?

I also have this problem with the new update,but if you push quickly 2 times on the bixby button it will pop up.

Same on my S8+. I need to press the button twice in quick succession for it to work.
It appears in their rush to disable the ability to re-map the Bixby button they somehow created an issue where Bixby does not always respond. I was beginning to think my button was malfunctioning, so I'm glad to see that it's just a software issue. However, this is not a great start for Bixby.
Same issue here on my S8+. You are not alone.
Good to see it's not a hardware issue. Yes, this looks worse for Bixby as they've gone from having Bixby as a choice (allowing remap) to it being not usable at all.
I too have this problem. In my case, even two quick presses in succession fails more often than it succeeds.
I have the problem too, combined with Bixby popping out of nowhere when unlocking my screen at times. Not a good start
They are saying it was done because a hand full or people fusses about hitting the button when they didnt want to.
The remapping was disable because samsung feels its there baby and they didnt want anyone change it lol.

If Samsung is pushing Bixby as one of the key features of the S8, I would understand why they would disable the remapping. But I'm not sure why they would make it more difficult to access by making the button press more finicky!
So thats the reason, same here on my S8
I picked up my Verizon variant of the S8+ on launch day. I immediately noticed that the Bixby button was quirky. I thought at first it was a hardware issue and I would have to exchange my phone. After 2 days of playing with it I realized it was more of a software issue and then I came across this thread which confirmed my suspicion. I have also noticed that 2 quick button presses launches it no problem, but what makes think there is an actual software issue is because it ALSO sometimes randomly launches with a single press like it was supposed to. I have noticed that the single press (when it works) is significantly more laggy to launch then the double press which seems instantaneous. I have contacted Samsung support VIA Twitter to see if they have an explanation. I will post any updates. Please do the same if you find any more info.
