Hey guys, I could use a hand. For some reason this AM my Nav buttons no longer are transparent on my phone ANYWHERE on ANY app. I use Nova launcher and I don't see a setting there. I checked the Display under settings and I don't have a color selected.
On the lock screen the home buttons are not there so I don't see this and have a full screen display. Any help would be appreciated.
Tried a restart?

Please see the attached screen shots.
Try Safe Mode? If the problem vanishes there, try a normal reboot again and try a default theme or different launcher, perhaps.

I tried it. Still not working. It shows as transparent for a quick second, then goes black.
* I did go to Touchwiz and it did go full screen, but all apps still had the nav bar as black and wouldn't hide. Only if I open a YouTube video in full screen will it disappear.

Just tried. Same issue.
Bump. Still having the issue.
Try to use app call Shortcutter and enable immersive mode
Have you tried going to Settings/Display/Navigation Bar and adjusting setting? The latest update changed the colors available for the nav bar.

It appears that looking at your screenshots i see no dot in left corner.? of navbar. So i presume
you have not received /done latest Samsung Update.?
Latest update has a dot, leftside of navbar.
If you tap it you navbar goes into Immersive
mode.
I have done latest update and using Nova Prime.
I have no issues with navbar. etc etc.
I replied to another thread (similar issue) earlier with

the latest Samsung software Build number should be .............AQF7
( as far as i know ) .
I don't think you are on this .Look at my screenshots
You will see white dot left corner ?
and when you want to use keyboard you have small keyboard icon
right side ,see screenshot .I do not see this in your screenshots ?
I am on latest build with Nova and have no issues with navigation bar .
So it difficult to test from my side as it seems we are on different Samsung build versions .?
Before my update i was using 3rd party app Shortcutter ( immersive mode )
Very good quality app .You can check it out in meantime .Works 100 %

Yeah, no idea. As far as I know I'm on the latest VZW build and I had no issues until after my update.
I do see the keyboard and game icons, just no dot.

With all respect ,it does not seem like you on latest software, as your are still on " ....AQEF "
( according to your screenshot ).
I am on " ............AQF7 " ( see my screenshot in my post #14 above )
It's this "..........AQF7" update ,that has the with dot .in navigation bar ..
All you can do is wait (?) for update .........AQF7 ( or similar ) .
Otherwise install a 3rd party app Shortcutter,which has this function ( immersive mode ) and a lot of other tweaks ( no root options ).
A very good quality app and very handy .
I have seen other , ADB commands tweaks that you can do to enable similar ( very easy if you , know what ADB is )
I still use Shortcutter app even though i have the with dot option in navigation bar .
Good luck

I hear what you're saying, but my issue was that I had no problems before. All of the sudden it just stopped working regardless of the release. I do agree Verizon does stall on updates specifically for security reasons and because they're assholes.

Ok,
Then you still got one basic option left.
(according to me)
Factory reset.! Yes, i know it's a hassle, but if you want to fix it, then factory reset. See screenshot
There is a option in device settings, for you to
reset settings, but it hardly works.
From time to time a certain device setting does
get "broken".
I had this with a few different devices eg Note
4, Note 5 and S 8 +.
eg Bluetooth switch toggle, switches alarm icon on. (for few seconds.)
Auto rotate icon missing.
On S8 +, the AoD was "broken /not working"
Only a factory reset eventually fixed it.!
Anyway i would try a factory reset, if i was "fed up" and wanted to fix issue.?
Good luck
After factory reset yesterday this also started happening to me. I did not receive that update everyone keeps talking about.
Hello All
Same problem here, the button at left desapeard sudenly since some days but only on the homescreen and in some app

Just discovered a very annoying bug with this new OTA update. I've had it for about an hour, and everything else has been good except for this.
With the lockscreen, my first shortcut icon (Phone Dialer) suddenly disappeared. I have no clue how to get it back.
When I try to re-assign it as a shortcut, it doesn't appear on the shortcuts menu.
I'm 1,000% positive that I did not erase the dialer icon in the lockscreen edit menu.
Anyways, this is just a heads up for some of you TmoUSA people who just got the OTA update.
And if anybody has any suggestions on how to prevent/fix this, or get back my phone dialer shortcut, I'd really appreciate it.
I got the phone dialer and it did not disappear from lock screen after the update.
I think this may be an isolated incident. But wow none the less. I would suggest a wipe brother.
Wow, that sucks to know that it's just me
Not that I would wish this problem on any of you, just kinda bothers me because I factory-resetted just yesterday
It's not just you. I still have the phone on my first button of the lock screen, but if I go to edit the lockscreen buttons, the first one is now blank, and Phone is not an option in the list of available apps to assign.
As long as I don't change it, it's good...
The EVO 3D had this problem with 2.3.3 at launch. HTC sent out a minor update to fix. Expect a minor update in the near future.
I wonder if I should just install a phone dialer app from the market and see if that can be a workaround.
What do you guys think?

If you save any changes from that screen you'll lose the icon.
Really, yikes. I think I like the 4 I have there now so I'll leave it alone for the time being.
1st - Web
2nd - Phone
3rd - Gmail
4th - Messages
With all these issues I'm seeing I think ima just stick to leedroid or stock rooted. I'm playing around on my myTouch before I sale it.

I just got the update and yes, while I still have the Phone icon on my lockscreen, if I go to the Settings page for the screen the position is blank and "Phone" isn't an option in the list of programs to launch.
It looks like birgertime's work-around may be what you need, until HTC (hopefully) releases a fix for this.
In the mean time, I'm not going to change my lockscreen icons (not that I frequently do anyway).
Not just you. Same thing happened to me. Just got the update today.

i had the same issue, the phone (dialer) missing from menu and lock screen. I downloaded the shortcut from the link above and it worked. Thanx for the shortcut.
I just got the update and I don't have any issues with my lock screen. maybe try to change in your lock screen htc gives us like 6 to choose from 'm using the 1 that shows status updates from facebook and such.
also my wifi is working a lot better I still lose signal when I grip it in landscape mode but it doesn't lose signal completely and I can still use wi-fi even in landscape mode holding it with both hands
The workaround works great! Thanks for the help, everybody.
I was just reading this thread when I noticed that I had the same bug after changing the lockscreen icons. Will flashing a ROM over the update help?
Hi
I wanted a thread where we all write down the bugs we have found and report them together to get them fixed a lot faster.
I will keep updating the thread as more bugs are found or posted by other members.
Bugs so far:
Android Wear/Nougat bug - If you enable "Ignore phone when using the watch" feature in Android Wear and then click "Find Phone" on the watch, the phone won't ring. This worked on Marshmallow. It disables "android device administrator" too if you set it to ring your phone. Also worked before Nougat.
Some users report problem with Google Play Services when downloading apps.
Some people report double application icons in settings.
smart view case not working properly when on AOD feature.
Missing colors in Peoples Edge feature.
Screen mirroring doesn't work with a ue50ku6000 samsung smart tv.
Some users report different kind of Facebook bugs.
After playing clash royale I go home switch to other app and lock phone. Then I get a notification (sound enabled) and after notification sound is played Clash Royale music starts to play even with phone locked on black screen.

Gallery app is not good.
For example gallery album preview optimization is really bad. Assume you have folders worth 2 scrolling pages. When you scroll back and forth, it always loads the album previews again and again and again idiotically.
Another example is that you are looking images in an album, you clicked and image, scrolled,scrolled and scrolled a lot of images. If you press back button you see last image is centered on album. But if you exit via zoom out gesture, you are doomed. Album is centered on first image.
Also scrolling between tabs on gallery is laggy. If you have a notification on gallery (the smart thing asking for if you want this collage etc) after going in the notifications exiting via back button freezes for a couple secs.

Sorry if its not clear. The reason being not good is because it is full of little bugs. I thought anyone used can understand that.

My notifications went silent, and when I tried to change the notification tone for sms, it said that I can't change the sound whilst I am on a call even though I hadn't been on a call in hours. Anyone else had this??
Camera filter doesn't show in camera interface (although i installed new ones).
Antutu score seems lower than MM version.
Sim Card manager text issues are still not resolved.
Inside apps I am not able to long press and copy text however this should be android native functionality not apps functionality. Used to work everywhere in MM.
after flashing BTU firmware I cant find all the themes in theme store. Majority of good themes are missing.

For AOD try to clear data for Always On Display app from Settings>>Apps>>Show System Apps. That should do the trick.
Samsung Theme is not fully baked yet and is not able to apply theme throughout the system, so I suppose I can add that to the list.
Thanks for the update for DeX, I dont have a DeX with me to try it out but I can add that to the lis as well.
Can you explain more about custom sounds. I am not sure if I understood what you meant.
And what is the build number you are on, is it CRI5 or CRI6? Please let me know, because I have intended to make list based on builds

CRI6 cannot be installed on top of CRI5. Update package looks for Oreo ARG8 and hence fails on installing. To install CRI6 I flashed ARG8 through odin without resetting. I was stuck in bootloop after that but I decided to sideload CRI6 on top of bootlooping ARG8. And surprisingly it worked and i am running CRI6 as of writing this post.

Thank you

Night theme toggle seems to be working. Though light theme has not been fully implemented yet.
Fingerprint sensor is not functional. It keeps saying its not responding while adding fingerprints.
I can see little difference in audio while toggling dolby atmos options. So its seems to be in the work.
Looks like Messages app has updated look. At least the Activity with list of messages. Conversation Activity still has same look. I wonder if app versions are different. Mine is version 10.0.00.19
Havent got enough time to play with other stuffs though

Also if you will go to updates in settings it's still showing ARG8 version

Hi everyone,
I just updated my phone to EMUI 9.0 (Indian Variant) and i have a few concerns which i'm listing below.
Wifi and Mobile Network icons have been moved to left side. Is there a way to switch it back to right side?
The recent apps animation and placement(side by side like the iphone) is quite weird. Is there a way to make it stack like in EMUI 8?
When you open recent apps the screen sometimes turns blue. Is anyone else facing such issue?
The tips in new EMUI 9 is quite irritating already. Is there a way to disbale it?
How to access the subscription menu for magazine unlock in EMUI 9? Earlier there was a way to swipe up from the lock screen that opened it directly but now that option opens photos added by me instead of auto downloaded subscriptions.
When you use splitscreen Emui stop showing the recent apps list. I get empty screen with wallpaper. It seems the windows are there, because when I click in the empty space the apps switch, but they are invisible. (Credits Medard22)
Huawei and Honor have officially disabled support for Google camera in their latest EMUI 9. All who got the EMUI 9 will not get the taste of Google camera anymore until they will enable it again. (Credits Zenkilla, Irshad Wani)
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance
1. The icons are moved to the left on the Android Pie, you can't move it back.
2. This is also normal on Pie and EMUI 9, and also can't revert. The 'blue screen' never happened to me, I don't know why is that happening to you.
3. The tips will stop appearing after some time. At least they did on my phone.
4. From the lock screen: swipe up, tap the settings button in the right bottom corner (the gear icon) and unlock the phone. It will open the Magazine subscriptions.
I hope I helped.
1. Wifi and Mobile Network icons have been moved to left side. Is there a way to switch it back to right side?
This is because most of the phone launching with notch and Honor has started moving that icon to left. No way to move back untill a working xposed module.
2. The recent apps animation and placement(side by side like the iphone) is quite weird. Is there a way to make it stack like in EMUI 8?
Not possible anymore unless on emui 8 or custom ROM.
3. When you open recent apps the screen sometimes turns blue. Is anyone else facing such issue?
Nope. May a theme you are using is causing this.
4. The tips in new EMUI 9 is quite irritating already. Is there a way to disbale it?
It was there for 2-3 days then stopped.
5. How to access the subscription menu for magazine unlock in EMUI 9? Earlier there was a way to swipe up from the lock screen that opened it directly but now that option opens photos added by me instead of auto downloaded subscriptions.
As mentioned in above comment but in my case, when i opened i found it opening gallery and that's blank.

Its being rolled out in batches. You'll get it soon.
Well my problem with he update is that function, where you could make the alarm ringtone grow louder over time is now gone. I always use very low alarm volume so that I would not get heart attack every morning. Got the update yesterday and the alarm was so quiet that I overslept. After years Google finally bundle it to the stock app and now huawei removes it. Now that´s a progress. Also having Honor View 10 I must say i don´t like the stock camera app. In EMUI 8 there were a handy swiping gestures bringing mode selection and settings, well they are gone now it´s now a bit more ... clunky.
How's your ram usage? I noticed before upgrade I usually have near 1.5~1.8gb free ram I think can't be sure I didn't screenshot it. Now I have 800+mb. Only diference between old android and new android is I add weather widget which didn't eat as much ram. Restart I get 3gb free.
I found a way to revert to the EMUI 8 vertically stacked recent apps, but it requires root. If you use Titanium Backup or something similar to freeze the Huawei Home app and switch to a different launcher, it will revert to the Android 8 style recent apps.
This is weird, because it's as if the Android 9 style horizontal recents is not part of the OS, but a component of the Huawei Home app.
I'm sticking with vertical for now because I was getting the same blue tint that you described on the horizontal recents.

Even i feel the same way now, but give it time to get used to and you'll surely like it.
Also as you said huawei removed what google made default, i have experienced similar thing in the smart unlock tab. Google provides a lot of options to unlock by location, bluetooth etc but huawei trims it as per outs own liking.

Even i thought that's the part of OS update, never expected it to be launched related. Although, i'm not rooted but i use a different launcher, so maybe i think i'll just root.

This is issue faced by only some users, so i believe we should make a factory reset as i'm about to do in the coming days.
Since you are having issue similar to mine, can you also confirm if you have the magazine unlock tab in the home screen and wallpaper in settings?
Is there any official feedback thread? I found some more bugs. Some webpages have problem rendering their mobile versions on Pie. Also the 3D panorama in gallery doesn't work. After you click on the 3d button it constructs the mesh then freezes Right now I'm not very excited about the update unfortunately.
So I'm the only one that wants to use gestures but can't because my case cover the Sides?
I'm rooted and have mods installed, so they could be part of the problem too.
Anyone else seeing this? Every once in awhile, I'll press the "home" button on the navbar.
And instead of showing me my home screen with icons & such, it only shows my background.
I have to press the home button a second time before my icons and folders show up.

Plenty of people have this issue, some launchers don't work properly, I'm getting others issues as well like folders showing up in recents.
There's no real fix at the moment, you either change launcher or keep the issues.
Darn. Okay, thanks for letting me know that it's not just me.
I haven't had any issues with Nova Launcher. I'm using the Prime version. Perhaps that makes a difference?
Have you changed the settings within the config utility?
Yep, I've had Prime Nova for many years.
I change a TON of settings in the Nova settings.
It doesn't happen often enough to make troubleshooting easy.
I guess I could try resetting it back to factory defaults for a week or so.

You mention that you're rooted and have mods installed...I would definitely look there first. I say this because I use Nova Prime on my 7 Pro and have zero issues. In fact I have been using Nova Prime on all my phones for years without any problems. YMMV
Every single third party launcher and device has this issue (and more) ever since Android 10 came out and tied Recents and Launchers together, it's worse with gesutres but can happen with navbar too.
Those who claim to not have it either ignore it, don't use their device fast or don't mind lag
Lawnchair alpha 4, no issues
Not rooted, qp beta, nova prime, no issues like that on mine.
..certainly no one can have accessibility function for gestures in nova launcher, this is due to google - android 13 security,
double tap would be a bless, so i don't understand why google is providing double tap on the back of the phone, but only strange single tap (lock screen) on the front of the device.. ?
I ran into a similar issue with Android 12 & 13 - it's a little tricky to get the gestures for Nova to work on the lock screen and provided a couple of screen shots to make things easier for you.

To enable accessibility, go to 3 dot menu in app info and bypass the restriction there.

I followed this advice and Nova is still broken. Oh well. I guess I could try another Rom, but how do we launch the default launcher?
No problem with Nova 8.0.3 here. But i dont use navbar.
And accessibility is working as well. I use it for double tap to sleep.

I only have that occasional issue if I have a **** ton of memory hungry apps running. And I think it started with the January update
Using total launcher and something similar happens to me. When I use gestures to pull up recent apps, I'll just see my homescreen instead of the apps themselves. Very weird but the behavior still works in that I can press the screen and it goes to the last app, which is what I want majority of the time.
Nova gestures work for me via Accessibility - but only for a few hours. Then, I can't see a note in Accessibility menu for Nova non-malfunctioning. Turning the Allow toggle off and on resolves the problem, temporarily.
