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.

After watching a demo of the new BlackBerry 10 today, it occured to me that Android doesn't need the navigation bar taking up screen real estate. The back button can be replaced by swipe from left edge into center (similar to pulling down the notification bar on top). Swiping from bottom up brings up the menus. And swiping from right to left can either go home or with a second up or down flick go to recent apps (or switch these two).
Once this is implemented, manufacturers can get rid of the bottom capacitive buttons, increasing screen size while keeping phone physical size constant. Android can finally get rid of the navigation bar that wastes so much space.
Make it happen I'll test but I like my soft keys

Well, that's a thought. Personally, I'd just put the softkeys into the statusbar and get rid of the navigation bar altogether.

Apparently the Ubuntu smartphone OS has all these edge swipe gestures in the plans:

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
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:
This might sound like a stupid question but it's something that I never gave it too much thought with my previous phones as it was simply power+ down volume button and that's it but it just doesn't work with my N20U, I also tried the gesture one and it also doesn't work, what am I doing wrong and how to fix it without resetting the settings?
Volume down and the power button works perfectly on mine. You have to push and release pretty fash and it pops up. Keep in mind that you can also use the spen to take a screen shot/screen write, wave the pen in a zig zag or even use smart select if you don't want to capture the whole screen. For the palm swipe you do have to turn that on if you haven't done that already. It's under "advanced features" and then "screenshot and screen recorder. " I hope that helps and give you several options!
Oh and palm swipe is under motion and gestures.
The easiest is to download Good Lock and use NavStar to add a screen shot button to your navigation bar.
take your s-pen out and click screen write.

Wouldn't know. Not an issue for me. I also have the power button on the navigation bar and haven't accidentally turned off my phone either. Like everything, to each their own.
I just use palm swipe to take screenshots, just run the edge / base of your palm across the screen.
Yes I swipe palm from left side of screen to right side
Is the easiest

Not really the easiest way when it requires one to have a nav bar.
So simple on chinese phones but number one manufacturers still struggling.
They should think of knock knock knuckle or 3 finger swipe.

Oh yes, I certainly forgot about the 1% of users that turn off the nav bar

Yeah I wouldn't say it's 1%, for one making up statistics on the internet is a bit childish.
Two, one can achieve 6 different tasks from the edge of either side of the screen without torturing themselves with a cluttered ugly (in my opinion) asymmetrical nav bar.
Samsung/Android 10 gestures with One Hand Op+ means you sacrifice zero screen space while being able to back, recents, and home from any angle.
Heck. From one side of my phone I can go back (horizontal short swipe), home (diagonal down shirt swipe), and recents (diagonal up short) from both sides of the device. I can jump to my last app with a horizontal long swipe, and that still leaves me two more gestures to customize. Four of you count both sides of the screen.
How does this benefit op, well they can use one hand op to assign screen shots to a long gesture. I mean who is rebooting and screenshotting that much that they need a dedicated button at the bottom of the screen. Nevermind literally having a power button in the notification pull down, seems like a pretty inefficient use of space on such a gorgeous screen.

You are right, it's definitely less than 1% of phone users that turn off the nav bar. I shouldn't have rounded up.
There are tons of options for screen shots so attacking an on screen button in order to justify your preference says a lot.
The power button on the nav bar doesn't reboot. It's a software button to turn off the screen instead of hitting the hardware power button.
Hitting a button works 100% of the time. No gesture works 100% of the time.
Anyway, you clearly have a your way or no way mentality so I'm out on this conversation.
Hopefully OP finds one of many options for screen shots that works.

My gestures work every time. You can adjust the length and sensitivity to your individual liking. Again while having the whole screen for an immersive viewing experience.
No one is attacking anything. It's a permanent button for a temporary problem. But hey Android is about choice.
But I mean if someone needs to black out the screen. Seems one hand op has a gesture for that. Crazy the flexibility of Android.
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
