Hello everyone,
I am coming from the Oneplus T7 Pro to the Note now because the other device had an issue. But what I am trying to figure out is the swipe back and forth when on webpages and apps. On the OnePlus it worked great as an out of box option. I would just swipe and it worked. But this note 10 does not do this I have to use the buttons at the bottom. Is there anyway to make it work like the Oneplus or am I SOL.
I do use Nova for my UI since I cant stand Samsungs.
Thanks for any help guys.
Idk how gestures work on OnePlus, but I swipe from the right edge of the screen to the left to go back, swipe up from the bottom right edge of the screen to see recent apps, and swipe up from the middle or left edge of the screen to go home. I use Nova as well. The One Hand Operation+ app (in Samsung Galaxy store) enables swipe left to go back. You can customize swipes a variety of ways, including swipe right from the far left side of screen. But I am right handed, so that gesture is pretty useless for me.
Only works with OneUi

This might be the single greatest nav gestures solution ever, thanks for the info! I'm on Nova and have bottom nav gestures but now with Goodlock and One Hand Op app I have right side screen gestures as well. Best of both worlds!:laugh:

I've googled it and got nothing.
Search this forum and not found it either
On Windows 8, if I scroll my mouse to the left/ left corner of the screen, I can see my current apps.
I can then close them.
With my keyboard connected I can do this on my surface using trackpad.
How do I do it without my keyboard connected?
I don't want to swipe them in, I want to see the icons of the apps I have running so I can close them.

you have to swipe in from the left a short distance. I don't own a windows touch device but did get a go on a display model, was kinda fiddly to get the distance just right, was probably about half the distance you need to swipe to switch apps. With some practise you should be able to nail it.

There's two behaviours for a short swipe in from the left. I believe the default one is to "swipe in" the last used app. Whereas what you want is to see a list of currently running apps (me too).
Go Settings>Change PC Settings and you're looking for a setting something like "App Switching">"When I swipe in from the left edge, switch between my recent apps instead of showing a list of them". In 8.1 that setting is under PC & devices, I can't recall if it's the same in 8.
The default way to do what you're asking is to swipe in from the left edge, then swipe back to the edge without releasing the swipe. It's a very quick and easy gesture easily made with the thumb; you don't have to swipe in more than maybe 1/4 of an inch (6mm) before swiping off the screen again to get he app switcher sidebar to appear.
To close the apps using touch only, you can do the following:
Drag the app from the sidebar off the bottom of the screen.
thanks, that's great.
Guys I'm absolutely in love with the functionality of the iPhone X's home button. If there's a developer out here with a kind soul can you please make an app/mod that gives the S8 that exact functionality? A thin bar that you grab and pull up to go home, slide up and hold for a second for multitasking, and swipe back on it to go back. It's genius and a much better implementation when compared to Android's virtual buttons.

Swipe up from bottom gesture was awesome on my Blackberry Z10. But apparently it was confusing to the average moron consumer bcuz they weren't used to not having a home button of some sort.

That's the beauty of Apple's implementation tho. There's a super thin bar that you have to slide up, which I think is more intuitive. You could use All In One Gestures to get the slide up gesture but it accidentally enables all the time.

Get an iPhone X!!! LOL Kidding!!!
Might want to look for Meizu mods, that's where the nice gestures come from
I use Edge Gestures app (with immersive mode of the nav bar). It knows this features, but only on the side edges. I have tried to persuade the developer to the bottom edge, without success up to now. This app has little battery drain and memory usage, and ask only necessary permissions. I love it, prefer to All In One Gestures.
My settings:
Left Edge
Swipe up- Home button
Swipe Down - Google app
Tap - Recent apps
Hold - Scroll to the top
Double tap - VLC
Left - Settings
Right Edge
Swipe up- FB LIte
Swipe Down - Browser
Tap - back
Hold - Gmail
Right - File manager
Double tap - Drive
Very fast and usable.
Since I got rid of the Nav Bar - it was annoying - I use both edges for back (swipe up), home (swipe down), and recents (double tap) with Edge Gestures, and Wave Launcher (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wavelauncher&hl=en) from the bottom to access apps and such. It's very responsive and amazingly customizable. You can change the icons and make it look like Mac OS toolbar (Please don't).

Just use this app called GMD gesture control lite offered by good mood droid developers from play store, here's the link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodmooddroid.gesturecontrol
Work flawless for me on my s7edge powered by bat-man rom with low battery consumption , you can make swipe gesture started from any edge of your screen, even from the top or bottom of the screen, you also can create your own gesture. If the app didn't detect the edge part of your screen, just calibrate your display from the setting inside that apps, before it didn't work also for me, after calibrate it will works. But, unfortunately you have to buy the full version if you want to get full features, there is also the free version of this app if you wanna to try first. Only this app I got the gesture function near to the iphone x gesture features
use at your own risk.
Press thank's if it helps.
Dear friends,
basically I really like and love my P30 a lot,
but regarding NavigationDrawer menu and "back swipe gesture from the left screen side" it's a little bit complicated. Possibly I'm also missing something?
For non developers: NavigationDrawer menu is the app menu, many apps offer which can be swiped from the left side of the screen to the center.
For me and my usage it would totally be okay to just use the back gesture on the right side of the screen, unfortunately I cannot find any possibility to enable/disable this feature on separate sides of the screen.
Anyone of you facing the same problem?
I've found out that holding pressed on the left side of the screen seems to offer to open the NavigationDrawer menu in all cases, but it takes some milliseconds (half a second probably).
Thanks and all the best,
Mike
PS.: Also checked Google and searched this forum here, nobody writes anything about this anywhere - at least what I've (not) found
never had any problem with it..even in apps like google play. I use upper 1/4 of the border to make swipe from left to get acces to the navigation drawer. And beside that there is almost in all apps dedicated button for navigation drawer.
But I understand what do you mean by the post..would be great to have little more customization options regarding swipe gestures.
Hi guys.. Where can you activate this Navigation Drawer from? My p30 doesn't seem to have it
So I've gotten used to the swipe up gestures for the navigation bar over my past few phones but going to the fold 2, on the big screen, the swipe gestures are too far apart for convenience. I see that there is an option for the traditional nav buttons to be offset to the right or left but i don't see an option for swipe gestures to be offset to the right or left. Is this even possible? Either within the Samsung settings or even a third party app?
The swipe gestures are new to me... never used them on my last phone (Note 8). I'm getting used to it on the small and large screens. I thought about switching back to include the buttons, but then it takes some of the video away which I think defeats the purpose of spending all this money on a phone with a large screen.
It's quite a bit easier if you go into the navigation options and switch to the gestures where you swipe from the side for back and bottom for home. When you do that anywhere up on the bottom will take you home so you can make both gestures in the lower right or left corner of the screen.

Thanks. I've been using this method. Although not my preference is the best option so far. I appreciate the recommendation.
It would be nice if they'd let us fiddle with the placement and type of nav gestures, it's true about any phone but I think more so with this one due to the form factor.
I heard the left side can be disabled for hamburger menus. My question is how and does it survive reboots and updates? This should be stock behavior c'mon google

Left back disable
adb shell settings put secure back_gesture_inset_scale_left -1
It survives reboots and updates.

Do you guys know that you can still use the hamburger menus without disabling the left side back gesture?
If you go into gesture navigation - gesture sensitivity. Slide the left or both left and right gestures to low sensitivity. You should then be able to use the left hand side hamburger menus in any app that supports it. There is a slight trick and learning curve to it. Basically move you thumb in a half circle kind of motion curving in and upwards to active the hamburger menus. Instead of directly sliding horizontally back in a straight line from the left side of the screen, as you do to use the back gesture. It works very well.

Great tip, thanks!
another workaround (though it's probably the intended behaviour) is to hold the finger on the screen just a little longer before sliding
