Hide navigation bar/soft keys - Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers

Hello,
I am coming from a OnePlus 7 Pro. I was able to hide it on the 7 Pro. Can it be done on Samsung phones?

If One UI 2.5 is like 2.1 on my S9+ you can choose “navigation buttons“ or “full screen gestures” (swipe up where the navigation buttons would be). Under “full screen gestures” you can toggle whether or not you want “gesture hints” to appear.
Sorry, I don’t have my S20 FE yet to verify.

No more lock screen timeout with Android 9?

Hello,
only recently I purchased the Huawei P20 Pro (with Android 8) and was very pleased with the timeout option for the lock screen, with allowed me to disable the auto lock for a reasonable amount of minutes after turning off the screen.
However, after the update to Android 9 Pie I cannot find the option anymore. Was it removed or where can I find it? Are there maybe apps that would bring back this option?
Thanks!

The feature seems to be missing on all EMUI 9 phones, i can't find it on the P10 or View 20 either. Strange, it is such a major bug but not reported anywhere!

Color Point Feature and s10 pls Camera feature In Note 9?

Hey can anyone tell me how do i get color point feature from Galaxy A50(or similar) and s10 plus camera.
Unless someone ports the camera apk, you don't.
if you are on one ui on your note 9... goto the pic you want to "color pop" then hit edit in the lower left (pencil symbol) then hit menu in the top right... you should see the option there.
What mhtruth said is as close to the feature as we get with our note 9s

OneUI/Android10 OTA too buggy?

Judging by the numerous complaints of issues with the new A10 updates, it looks like OneUI with Android 10 is NOT ready to replace Android9, yet it's rolling out as OTA upgrades. I predict it won't be long before people regret this new update and want to roll back to A9. I have a U1 variant and haven't gotten a prompt to update yet. It seem like a good time to fire up adb and disable the packages that are responsible for updates.
Anybody love the new OneUI w/A10 they got on their N9 via OTA? What's good about it?
I haven't had any issues and know a few others that haven't as well, but we are a small amoint of people, so yeah.
I really don't feel a difference between Android 9 and 10 with the exception of how dark mode is implemented now. That's honestly it for me. Battery life for me on the Note 8 and 9 have always been meh, but so has every other phone for me with the small exception of the Xperia Z Ultra and LG Optimus something big. Whatever the big one was.

I went back to Android 9 a couple days ago. To me, and this is just my opinion, 10 feels like 9 to me. And the sad thing is Samsung considers this a major update so that means the 9 will not see anymore other then security patches.

Google did state that Android 10 would be a significant improvement over Android Pie. Whether that is the case or not we have yet to be certain. But it is safe to say that Android Pie for the Note 9 will not be receiving any security patches now. As Samsung will only be releasing patches for Android 10 for the Note 9 from now on.
That is what I meant. 10 patches not Pie

On 10 and loving it. Miss a few good lock options. Battery life has been great while gaming compared to 9. I read a lot of posts here and have not run across any issues yet.
This is what I am waiting for, more news of good or bad experiences with A10. I am very happy on A9 (I have U1 variant) and I dont want to click update yet because I like it how it is. I hate that they stop security patches tho. Dark mode means squat, I have themes that work for that. I also use good lock features alot. I guess I will keep postponing the update till I see more threads about it. The silence is weird, normally there are pages of complaints after a new version comes out.

Iv been on 10 for awhile now, and i have noticed its a little sluggish. Flashed in odin, then i performed a factory reset and it is still sluggish. Hoping for an update soon
Yeah, comparing A10 to A9 (stock) is a different comparison than OneUI A10 to OneUI A9 (Samsung's) ... and that is because one of the major differences with stock Android is that A10 finally integrated dark mode.... But Samsung did that with OneUI on A9, sooo... I have OneUI with Android 9, everything is dark, it all looks good, and I like it. Also, nothing seems buggy.
It doesn't look like there is any reason at all to upgrade to OneUI w/A10, unless I like to take my chances and see if Samsung bugged up a rushed release.
I actually really, really, hate white apps. So if OneUI with A10 integrates dark mode into apps much better than it does with A9, then I would consider the upgrade, for Google apps like gmail, maps, docs, etc.
Good points from all. It's not that Android 10 is bad, it just doesnt seem much different then Android 9. For me the gestures were horrible. I'm sure peeps like them but just not for me.

Android 10 OTA has been great for me - getting better battery life and everything smooth and fluid. No problems whatsoever, and I just did the upgrade OTA, no clean wipe or anything like that (thankfully). Did use Galaxy Labs App Optimiser and I do believe apps open noticeably faster afterwards.
P.S. Still using navigation gestures as I was on 9 and notice little difference.
How are the gestures in 10 different from 9?
I have no buttons on my screen. Bottom right corner swipe up goes back to previous screen. Bottom middle swipe up goes to home screen. Bottom left swipe up shows all running apps.
Is OneUI/A10 different than that?
Someone can tell me how is the volume on Android 10 compared to Android 9? Is it louder or similar?

i think you are using 3rd party launchers? because the new full gestures can only be used on samaung one ui launcher
I am in San Francisco, with unlocked US Note 9, and have not received A10 update.
Has anyone on here in the bay area received it?
If needed, point me to another thread for this question.

Stock full screen gestures (no buttons showing) in settings > display > navigation bar. This is built into OneUI/A9

so you mean to say you dont have the new full screen gestures of android 10?
bdw your fullscreen really shows fullscreen apps?
I've had A10 for a few days now, and besides one small glitch (commas and periods are doubled when I press the icons, and sometimes the space doubles also using the space bar), I've had no issues with it.

I mean to say that I am running stock A9/OneUI with fullscreen gestures built into the OS (not from a third-party app), and from what people are describing about the fullscreen gestures in A10/OneUI, they are not any different. And yes, my fullscreen really shows fullscreen apps--no software buttons.
Ive found that A10 and UI2, cannot handle gestures and fullscreen mode any where near as well as A9 UI1.
Ive tried A10 twice now and both times, from a full wipe, the fullscreen/immersive mode messes up the A10 gestures. Whereas A9 can run fullscreen (no buttons, no taskbar, full immersive for all apps) and use gestures without any issue, and with just one swipe.
You try using proper fullscreen/immersive on A10 with gestures, and it takes two swipes to do anything, and Edge Panel Apps just gets ruined, as you cannot swipe open any more. There must be some conflict in Fullscreen/Immersive mode.
I use bxactions to toggle Fullscreen/Immersive from the Bixby button.

[FIX] Fingerprint Gestures on Redmi Note 7

Of the five phones I've owned recently with rear fingerprint sensors (Honor 7X, Honor 8X, Samsung S9, Google Pixel 3a, Redmi Note 7), the only one which doesn't natively support fingerprint gestures is the Redmi Note 7.
Therefore, I can't swipe down or up on the fingerprint sensor on the Redmi Note 7 to expand or collapse the notification shade the way I can on the other phones. This is a major annoyance for me since I use the notification shade often when I'm using a phone one-handed, and the rear fingerprint sensor is so convenient for this purpose.
So I tried about a dozen different apps on the Play Store until I found one that did exactly what I wanted, and it's free. It's called Keyboard/Button Mapper.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.github.sds100.keymapper
It's not so easy to figure out at first, so I can post instructions if anyone needs help. In summary, however, you would create two new keymaps with the following mappings:
Trigger: <swipe down>
Action: Expand Notification Drawer
Trigger: <swipe up>
Action: Collapse Status Bar
With this one fix, the Redmi Note 7 can be just as convenient to use one-handed as any other modern phone. Enjoy.

Hi Alifirdaus. I'm sorry to hear that it's not working for you. Please list the steps you took so that I might help you. Thanks.
I have enabled all app requests (fixes) including root permission but the app does not recognize the fingerprint actions.
Mine doesnt work either... i just updated to MIUI 12... I'm not rooted. does this require root? thanks!
Gosh I've been looking for an app like this for so looooooong !! Thanks !! Working on my pocophone x3 Surya running arrow os android 11
Unfortunately I'm getting this on my Poco X3 NFC with custom rom. Any other solutions? Xposed edge pro doesn't recognize the fingerprint sensor.

Question Gestures active area problem

Hello, I have a poco m3 pro running miui 12.0.10 global + default POCO launcher, not rooted.
Left & right swipe gesture active areas seem too narrow for me, I find myself having to use the tip of my finger in order for it to register, otherwise it won't swipe. I thought it was the case so I ordered another one but same issue. Anyway to widen the area a bit so I don't have to try 3 or 4 times for it to register? I removed the applied screen protector but nothing changed.
This is the case I have. I tried fluid gesture app and that gave me an option to widen the active side areas and made it much better, but I'd like to use the default app. I've never had this issue with my older phones (pixel 3A XL, 4a 5G).
maybe is a firmware issue... with older version same problem?
I ended up installing FNG and increase the left and right active areas and have it running with MIUI gestures. Stupid MIUI.
