Sid 7 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 My back button keeps being activated at even the slightest touch to the bottom left corner of the screen, like if I'm resting the phone in my left hand for example. I use Edge Null but it doesn't seem to work on the system buttons. Does anyone else have this issue or any suggestions? It's detecting a press from like a full inch from it's icon. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskeRahn 5,427 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Depending on humidity my screen can be activated a few mm above the display, but nothing as far as an inch 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sid 7 Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 It's not an inch above, rather the bottom most left corner. If I hold it down the button highlight displays which should be it's fairly lenient hotbox but my finger is like 0.25" to the left of that. Tried to screenshot it but sadly the highlight goes away as the shot it taken. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I did that like a week after getting my Pro1 in January and never looked back. Easier to navigate, more screen real estate for your apps. I found it's really hard to go back to navigation bar once you tasted gesture navigation. Edited November 14, 2020 by Slion 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is a bit tricky, first you need to get that gesture app working which is a bit fiddly too. Then I believe it will guide you to a tutorial where you need to connect to a PC and run an adb command to hide the nav bar. It's a feature of that gesture control app but needs that adb command too.

For stock Android Pie, you could try the solution @Slion linked above Apart from that you could go for some of the Android 10 (AKA Q) distributions, where this option is build in, e.g. Lineage 17.1. (Settings►System►Gestures) You can start here to look at available alternatives. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sid 7 Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 I've heard really good things about Lineage but I'd never looked into it "because I like Android." I never realized Lineage WAS android. Thank you for these resources, I'll try it out when I have time. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
