Squeeze assistant a function of the launcher??? - Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers

I am using Nova. The squeeze assistant does not function on my phone. Is the squeeze feature a function of the launcher?
Thanks .

I'm using Nova with squeeze. It's independent of the launcher. Did you turn it off?

Play around with the squeeze settings, it's a little tricky

Did you turn it on? Make the sensitivity a little more so. Reboot.

Also, check your language. Somehow mine got changed to a variation of English other than U.S. and assistant stopped working. Changed it back and, boom.

Thanks for these replies. I really can't understand what's going on. So far I have:
rebooted several times
Settings-->System-->Languages, input & gestures = English, Active Edge = On, Tap Active Edge and adjusted sensitivity.
I am using a case but it doesn't work without the case either. FWIW, I am using Swiftkey.
Any other settings I need to look at?
Thanks again.

I found the problem. I had enabled immersive mode ala https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-enable-system-wide-immersive-mode-without-root/.
I didn't read that this disables the active edge squeeze assistant. Now I need to decide if I want more screen or Google assistant. I'm leaning toward screen as I have never used the assistant. I thought something was brokedick .

Just got a pixel 3 and went through the same issue. Has a workaround been found for this? I love immersive mode and would like to not lose active edge if possible. Please help!

Default home screen

So my Nexus 5 gets here tomorrow but I've been playing around with the kit Kat launcher on my Xperia.. I figured out how to add panels but is there a way to set one as default? Thanks!
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk
I believe the default screen is permanently set to the first one to the right of the Google now screen.

I don't know if getting to Google Now from the home screen by swiping to the right is set up in a way such as Apple's way of getting to the search panel. It seems more like swiping from the left starting kinda OFF screen, like how you tend to do with slide-in settings tabs and such in different apps. Only guessing though, as i don't yet have my N5 (should have it by Wednesday at the latest), but that's what it seems like in every video i've watched. Someone feel free to correct me if i'm wrong with this.
Yup when Google now it's activated it is a normal swipe from the to access it

Blocking mode doesn't disable led flashing?

I see that on the S5 that "blocking mode" doesn't disable the notification led light like on the S4. Am I missing something? Ridiculous omission if true.

I've been using Trigger to get around this issue. It costs $3 for the premium version and you can set it up to turn on blocking mode and then disable the notification light. It's good that at least Samsung put that setting in there so apps like Trigger could get to it. It works pretty well. I have mine set up on "timed" triggers to enforce this. Then you can set up home screen shortcuts to enforce it if you want as well.
It sure would have been simpler for Samsung to just keep their app features the same as on the S4, but this at least works.

easy home app

Anyone using easy home app and have experience with the pro version. For those who don't know the app turns you home key into a capacitive button rather then a physical button. I don't know for sure but I've read that it supports the N5, S6, S6E, and S6E+. I have also read about N4, and S5 users using it. I really like the app and it works well. I really missed my OnePlus 2 home button.

Did you know that if you use the app you described you will no longer be able to
use the fingerprint security function unless you uninstall the app or totally disable it.
Good luck,
Have a Happy Merry Christmas.

I'm not quite sure I understand. When I try to bypass my lockscreen with any other fingers then I have setup in the fingerprint settings it will not unlock and prompts me to enter a backup password. So I'm not sure if they have fixed thas issue but lockscreen fingerprint login and last pass fingerprint login seem to be working fine for me.

You are 100% wrong and shouldn't mislead other people. I've been using the app since it was posted a few months ago by @Jawomo it works exactly as it should. I've been using it everyday for months with my fingerprint unlock and have never had a failed unlock.

It was really hit or miss for me. I only tried it for a few minutes, but it felt like it didn't work 100% of the time. I'll give it another shot.

Good Lock update is a blast!

check out nice shot, notistar and edgelighting!

yea. so much presumption from a supposedly witty and intelligent person.
the inclusion of the three new features were oblivious to me, so i thought maybe sharing would help others get started.

I just wish sammy would make edge lighting useful for notifications when the screen is off, and not just for their crap bundled apps either.

What does that have to do with edge lighting...
Anyway,
Edge Lighting > Manage Notification
Select apps you want edge lighting on, it is not restricted to "crappy built in apps"
A more useful thing to say would be, ' I wish edge lighting could be customised on a per app basis and show be useful for more situations such as if screen recording flash around edge of the device red or something to show you that you are recording with your device or camera or whatever, or they could use the notch LED ring to do something like this.

Here you go
Tried Goodlock + Notistar to enable "Eclipse effect" for camera cut out. It broke deep sleep and my phone went from 50% to 0% in 3 hours with screen off. The effect only works for a few seconds with no option to set a recurring reminder. Uninstalled it, but other features in this Goodlock update are great.

Using Holey Light instead with the battery saving blink animation is a better option, noticed less than 1% per hour drain

Rest of the apps are great with good lock!
Wow check out the no screenshots, i got you guys looking

You can activate it, but it doesn't do **** if the screen is off. Worthless as a notification.

ya i heard it won't work without aod
Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
Even with aod always on, edge light set to always, edgelight+, notifications enabled. If I get a message on hangouts for example, the little icon appears on the aod screen but edge lighting does diddly. Same for the other non Samsung apps I've tried, not that there have been many I've tried thus far.
Now if I happen to have the phone unlocked and happen to be looking at hangouts and receive a message, edge lighting works as expected... but if I'm already staring at the app it kinda makes it pointless.

Note 10 plus issue

Hey guys, so I got the note 10 plus, I moved over from IPhone and so far am loving the phone. However there are 2 issues I can't seem to resolve.
1. Samsung keyboard doesn't Auto correct all the time. It works sometimes but not always. Might be I'm typing too fast for the Auto correct to work. So I've installed gboard and it works so much better.
2. I don't get Facebook notifications when the screen is off. When I'm using the phone yes a notification pops up, but while I'm not using it and screen is off no notification is pushed. I then open Facebook and I see there is X amount of notification.
Anyone else seem to have this issue?
Thanks
1. for me, i find samsung keyboard to be better in terms of guessing the word while i swipe casually and quickly. it's lacking japanese input though
2. can u check the power saving options? whether it is sleeping etc

Hi Jemfalor,
The keyboard I couldn't get to work right. But with Facebook I think I fixed it. I spent 20-30 mins testing the FB notification with my and my wife's S10 and it seems to be same issue. However I went into the battery optimised screen and turn off Facebook option and it seems to have fixed it. Email Instagram were switched off. After I did this I tested it again and it worked. While screen was off I was still getting notifications.
Best keyboard for the phone is Google keyboard..switch over to that

Just to echo above users re SwiftKey.
I've been using SwiftKey for many years now.
What I still find astonishing, is how well SwiftKey predicts the words I'm about to type in my messages/emails.
I've counted sometimes...... its 5,6,7,8 words in a row.!
On top of that, i mix 2 x languages, whilst typing
and it still predicts correctly.!
I have plenty of keyboard options installed
Google, Samsung, Minuum etc see screenshot below.
For SwiftKey predictions whilst "mixing my languages predictions" is for me, just amazing.
