SMALL WHITE/GREY BAR LEFT HAND EDGE OF SCREEN - Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers

Hi all
Im a newbie, got the poco x3 NFC, and to say im over the moon is an understatement...finally i have a phone which does what it says on the tin (UK TV advert..sorry)
OK...left hand side of screen there is a small white, greyish bar (oblong) If I hold this, i can slide it up and down, but NOT into the middle of the screen it just slides up and down.
I long hold and nothing, slide up and down again nothing meaning nothing opens, or switches.
I did take a screen shot but IT DOESNT SHOW IN THE PHOTO
If I reboot, it disappears
also while Im here, on reboot or start, the poco logo appears but NO music...is there supposed to be music??
Thanks folks...its a great phone for the price...im MORE than happy

Settings = Type "Quick Ball" in the search bar. Enable/Disable/Customise it there.
All the best.

I need help

2 quick questions, they might be something simple sorry but I dont know how to get this to work.
1) How do you unlock your phone without the stylus? I know if you hold the end call key for 3 secs it locks it but I want to unlock the phone without the stylus. I hate ejecting it so the power goes on and then I can slide my finger on the "Lock Icon" left or right to unlock the phone.
2) How do you change the "Lock" Icon mapping? By that I mean its located at the top and I would like to move it to the bottom or middle. Once somehow automatically it was located in the middle and then I rebooted my phone and it went back to the top again.
I don't understand question 1 are you saying you take the styles out to turn the phone on? why don't you use the power button at the top? Then use your finger when it turns on to unlock it. I will admit i don't use the lock fetcher
But i think i understand the second question to move it to the bottom, go to start/setting/today/Items this will have a list of "icons" you have on the main screen select the Device Lock and move it to the bottom of the list. this should move it to the bottom and you are done.
1) you can unlock your phone without pulling your stylus out. press the power button to turn the screen on and then press unlock on the bottom left softkey followed by the confirmation on the center right side of the screen.
on the otherhand what you're asking for is called S2U (slide to unlock) which is an app the mimicks the iphone's lock interface
2) what mapping are you talking about? on the tf3d where the app tab is at? if so, then you just move it by using diamond tf3d tweak OR manually deleting the app and relocating it to where you want it.
Cool thanks for the help on question 1 I didnt know that.
For question 2 the same thing, do you know when the phone is locked and you have that icon that you have to slide left or right so that you can access the main menu on your phone (has the time, contacts, view messages, email etc.). That little bar that reads slide and has a padlock icon in the middle of it. That little button I want to reallign it in the screen. It happened once but I didnt press or change anything for it to happen, it just did.
Bump .

[Q] Problem: soft buttons not lit?

I noticed something is missing on my new 128Gig S6.
No lighting...or any other visible sign of the soft buttons for "back" and "task list".
They work........but I find it strange to have no visible means of even knowing they are there.
That section of the screen, either side of the center button is just solid black.
Is this normal with this device?

Sorry, ladies and gentlemen.
I just realized they stay unlit in power saving mode.
Hope my stupidity helps someone.

What is this icon please?

To the left of the battery icon, just above the date. It has me stumped.
No SIM inserted.
Ah thankyou. I had searched high and low before posting here.
As long as we're on this topic, I never understood what the leftmost icon in this notification area is.
It looks like a watch and it's related to display, but the circle in the middle is sometimes white and sometimes black or transparent,
but what do these 2 states mean ? Did someone figure it out ?
It is "Theater mode" when brightness is set to "Auto". Press to put the watch in theater mode.
To expand on the previous post, it means that your tilt to wake etc is disabled so your screen is permanently off. The only way to cancel it is to press one of the hard buttons.
Icon is not SIM PIN code not inserted too.

Google Search Bubble - anyone else have it?

This popped up on my phone today. Its a dark tab kind of thing that sits on the side of my screen. Got an option to activate it (which i did) and now its sitting on the edge of my screen. Basically a quick way of searching google. It sits in front of everything and goes transparent after a while. I can slide it up a down and between sides of the screen to reposition it. A long press pops up options at the bottom to hide it or turn it off.
I cant find anything about it online yet. Does anyone else have it?

Got the same today, Huawei P30 Pro using Nova Launcher. Great little feature, seems nicely integrated.

Question YouTube PiP mode stupid enlarge arrow

So this is my first Samsung in a long time and in the past (up to my Pixel 5a) the picture in picture always has a square like icon so you could tap right at the screen to go back to the app. This is extremely important for me when driving and using the nav. However I've noticed that this phone (as well as my friend's S20+5g) have a "enlarge" arrow icon in the corner. Maybe I'm just not used to it but it requires a much more precise touch and it is absolutely infuriating. Is this a Samsung thing and is there anything I can do to change it back?
