Weird. I was on B160 for the longest time and the fingerprint reader swipe-down for notification panel worked great.
Upgraded to B385 and besides the horrible battery life, the swipe-down stops working randomly until next reboot.
Seems to be exacerbated if I also have the double-click or click-hold function enabled.
Anyone else have this problem?
While this wasn't discussed directly in another thread, it was discussed that Huawei's Smart Assistance seem to cause a lot of problems for a lot of people. I turn off everything under Smart Assistance. Instead of the gesture to drop down the notification panel, I just modify the navigation buttons to add a drop-down button.

You won't miss that gesture anyway, at least. It's easier and faster to drop down the notification shade with the navigation bar button than the swipe gesture on the sensor. If it was a front-facing thumb sensor, that gesture would be more helpful, but on the back of the device it's more cumbersome by comparison.
FWIW it works fine for me, so perhaps a reset would help you. I find the gesture very useful as a 2-in-1 when I unlock the phone and then immediately swipe down, a functionality the nav bar can't recreate.

Yeah, that's what I'd gotten used to.
Already did a FDR before AND after upgrading to B385 and then set up as new. Frustrating... wonder what it is.
That's unfortunate, hope someone else has better advice for you then!

Hi,
I know it's kind of still early in the game, but anyone knows if any Lollipop support navigation ring yet? That's probably the most important custom feature for me....
Thanks!

I know I'm kind of late - but are there any news regarding this? I can find plenty of ROMs with a 3-way customizable navigation ring, but not only does that lack 7 possible shortcuts as compared to KK, it also reacts much slower and is not available on lock screen. Does anybody know?

I don't think anybody is going to attempt placing 7 shortcuts in the Navigation Ring on Lollipop.
The lockscreen in Lollipop was completely replaced and would require a lot of modification to get the Navigation Ring to work on it (and would conflict with the upwards swipe to unlock).

Yeah I guessed that, although I'd prefer to have the navigation ring instead of the Lollipop default.
Either way, that shouldn't hinder the navigation ring in unlocked mode, right?

There were also other changes to the navigation ring, mostly to do with animations and visuals. Getting more than 3 to fit/work would also be a pain.

That's unfortunate. In my perception the new behaviour is slower and less handy than before, so if I'd have to live with that it would be quite upsetting. Thanks for the info and I'll keep my hopes up.

If you ignore the animation and swipe by feel, it works exactly the same speed-wise compared to KitKat. The visual animation makes it look slower when it really is the same.

Unfortunately that's not true for me. I tried using it exactly as before but my phone just doesn't react, I have to wait almost a second for the animation to start before it reacts to my swiping in that reaction - otherwise it just goes unnoticed. what rom are you using?

Please, tell me wich Lollipop ROM has this feature, I can't find any.
So, the problem started when I was typing fast, sometimes the keyboard would minimize itself. Then I realized it was only when I was near the "a" key (independent of the keyboard app). So, I got to make some tests, it turns out the screen thinks I am swiping to go back, when I'm not. Please check this video: https://youtu.be/cdg4_oJ68aM
Is there something I can do?
I'm on a Mi Mix 2s 9.5.19.0
I had this problem too. I no longer own the phone though so I'm afraid I can't help. I was wondering if it was fixed in the MIUI 10 beta but nobody has answered it so far. If anyone can chime in to say if it's fixed now would be nice, it made typing basically impossible for me.
Well, it was a display defect. I have to wait 2 weeks for the replacement part to arrive, but it's under warranty. Until then, I'll just use the on screen buttons.
It happens to me from time to time, but not sure if this is my fault. I don't understand the methodology of your test on the video (what are you pressing and when?).

It's the test module of MIUI, I'm just tapping left, right, left, right, etc, sometimes it is interpreted as a swipe between the 2 points (when a line appears). But it's pretty agressive in my display, got it checked and they are going to replace it under warranty.
So I shouldn't get any red lines when just taping right and left? I have those....
That's what happens to me and I'm getting back randomly after a few seconds of quickly taping left and right.
Where did you buy your phone?
I bought it on Aliexpress with Goldway but sending it back for a replacement is not really an option for me.

That lines get interpreted as swipes, so that's why my keyboard minimized when i was using it. If you want something more graphic you can try it on a simple drawing app (like this one), please look at the attached file. I live in Bolivia, here Xiaomi has official representation, so they come with a 15-month warranty.

So this shouldn't happen at all?
Please see image attached.
Could other users confirm that when they just tap left and right very quickly, no lines are created? Thanks!
Xiaomi now sells directly in France but I have the 8/256 version only sold in China for now anyway.
Now it happens to me from time to time to have the keybord closed with a "false" back, but not enough to really think there was an issue, I just didn't understand why it closed. Thanks for pointing that, now I'm gonna be annoyed each time.

But hey, you know what i did in the meantime? I installed XDA Gestures, configured the same gestures as MIUI, and hid the gesture pill. Voilà, you get the same but without that problem. :good: That's good for now.

You mean:
1) Put back navigation bar on MIUI, disable gesture
2) Install XDA gesture and remove the navbar, configure it as MIUI
3) ?????
4) Profit
Is that it?
There are quite some options in XDA Gesture settings, could you post a screenshot of your preferences (like the 4 screens) so I can copy them? Sorry to bother you with this!
Also instead of using the sides to swipe back, it will use the lower part of the screen only? That's how your fix works?

Here are the settings attached (the pill color is transparent), just changed the right swipe to go to last app, instead of back. Remember that to install XDA Gestures you have to use ADB from your PC/Mac, for that to work you have to enable both "USB Debugging" toggles shown in the screenshot.
Does attached mean my unit is ok?

Thanks a lot, gonna do that on monday, just waiting for my bootloader waiting period to end (I know I can to this without root or anything, but as I'll need to do it again....)
Just to confirm, this means the gestures will be at the bottom of the screen only, no back function from the edge, right ? I don't think it will bother me much if this is like that.

Seems to be fine, if you were tapping fast each side, this is perfect. I can't manage to do this without having false swipe.
About three months ago my Pixel 2 (purchased new from Google) began having an issue where it becomes unresponsive or extraordinarily delayed on responding. It almost always happens when I'm waking the phone up from being locked. When it happens, the phone will eventually unlock but everything reacts several seconds after contact (power button, taps, swipes). A reboot or power down fixes the problem, but is always necessary.
I switched to Project Fi around that time and thought it had something to do with the switching between CDMA and GSM (Sprint/US Cellular vs T-Moble) towers, but I've switched to T-Mobile (a solely GSM provider) since and the problem persists.
I am running Android Pie (stock). My bootloader is unlocked and I do have Magisk installed. No TWRP. I don't have any obvious troublemakers installed (like Xposed, for example) and only a few apps that even use root (Cerberus, Adaway, and Nova Launcher).
I have heard about the Pixel 2 XL having a hardware issue that results in unresponsiveness and that ultimately requires sending in the device for a replacement. Is this the same thing?
Any advice would be much appreciated. If it would be helpful, I can produce logs, but I'll have to wait until it happens again to offer logs that might contain clear indications of what might be happening.

Well, I have Nova set up to hide the dock unless I swipe up (or down) on it. I can't seem to find a setting about hiding the navbar. Where should I be looking to check?

We're talking about the back button and the new pill gesture button, right? If so, then no I haven't installed anything to hide those: they are always visible.
Well, after 24 hours, I had the issue resurface. Unfortunately, the logging app I was using (matlog) froze up with the phone and produced a blank text file. While rebooting restored normal function of the phone, I can't produce a log as a result.
It occurs to me that while I am not disabling the navbar, I do use a function of the Cerberus anti-theft app to disable the notification bar while locked. Could this be the source of my issue? If so, is there any way to confirm this?
In the meantime, I've disabled that function and will see if the lock-up occurs again.
I'm curious where you were going with the question about the navbar. Could you tell me more about what you were thinking it might have been?
I went ahead and disabled the 'block status bar' function of the Cerberus app and the problem has not resurfaced in over two days (it was occurring several times daily). Although I can't definitively prove it, I think the culprit was the app.
Thanks for the time and assistance!

Sorry I didn't get back to you I read this a while back and totally thought I responded. Yeah anything that hides the status bar or navbar from the system UI at all times is known to cause wake issues. On my essential phone it would require me to restart it to actually get the screen to come back on. It's called the deep sleep of death or something haha

Hello Crixley,
No worries at all - I'm always grateful when anyone responds around here because I know that we're all balancing regular life and our hobby time!
I'm relieved to hear that it is a known issue, though I'm going to miss the functionality! I wish Google would build some kind of equivalent security measure so that the network state can't be changed while the phone is locked. I'm guessing that this issue is exactly why they haven't gotten to it (yet?).
Thanks for your time & support, both here with my issue and across the forums.
Peace,
Computerslayer

I'm glad to hear it's fixed for you!
I try to help as much possible, I remember how good it was to have people help me when I needed it and sometimes I need a hand as well.
So I was messing around with some settings today and using the double tap power button to launch camera from either ambient display or the lock screen. Well that's all fine and dandy and it works but I also let's anyone unlock your phone cause once in camera app you can hit the home button or back button and it'll allow access to the phone in its entirety. Kinda a fail set up. Hopefully fixed. Truly IDC caus no one uses my phone that I don't trust and I NEVER leave it anywhere that I feel wouldn't be safe. Let alone on table at Starbucks or a bar like I see sooo many people do.
All input is welcome on this subject
i couldn't get mine to unlock, but then again I am using Navigation Gestures not the Nav Bar
Nevermind I'm a retard, but as I stated I was messing around with settings today. I set the "on body" to keep device unlocked. Lol live and learn right?

Honestly I really really wanted to use the gestures, make things feel new and all coming from my old phone but truly I can't they are too show. I always use the double tap recent to almost instantly go back to last open app and switching apps is world's faster this way.

I've never heard such kind of gestures. Which phone/magisk module was that ? Google pixel ?
I also use gestures but once my thumb is on the top half of the phone it's a long way to reach the bottom of the screen [emoji2356]
So I couple it with pie controls

I use pie controls as well. All phones with Oreo and above have the option to double tap the recents button and it will instantly switch back to the last app open. Say I'm in Facebook and leave to Samsung browser. If I double tap quickly on the recent apps button. I can switch back and forth very quickly between the 2 apps.
Hi everyone,
I noticed that the slider in the quick access bar (the buttons you get when you pull down the notification bar) has vanished with the latest update. Anyone else having the same issue or any idea how to re-enable this?
Thanks

Edit: solution in second post.
Pull it down all the way.
Tap the carrot at the end of the slider.
Toggle on and off a few times the option to make it show the way you want.
It's hit or miss for me. Sometimes it shows up, sometimes it doesn't.

Not much help here other then to confirm that I just updated to WW_17.1810.1911.110 about a week ago and the slider is still on my "pull down". I didn't do anything special for this.
