Since updating earlier today, I have noticed 2 issues with my S22:
1. There is now a very much UNWANTED Gesture Navigation Bar visible beneath my dock that I ABSOLUTELY ABHOR every bit as much as I DESPISE the 3 Navigation Buttons.
2. The Swipe gestures no longer function as perfectly as they did BEFORE the update.
I would like to:
1. Make the Gesture Navigation Bar as nonexistent as biggoot and...
2. Make a swipe from the bottom left of the screen cause Recent Apps Screen to open, a swipe from bottom middle of the screen cause a return to the Home Screen and a swipe from the bottom right of the screen to cause whatever app I'm using to go back to the previous screen.
There does not seem to be a way to "hide/remove" the Gesture Navigation Bar, nor does there seem to be a way to assign the gestures themselves. Is there anything that can be done? Or would a non-Samsung phone be able to better provide the features and customizations I prefer?
You can get the gestures back by downloading GoodLock App / Navstar Module from the Galaxy Store.
If You Need Instructions:
⁃ Go to the Samsung Galaxy Store > ⁃ Download Good Lock app > ⁃ Then open It > ⁃ Scroll down & download NavStar > ⁃ Then open NavStar > ⁃ Turn NavStar switch On > ⁃ Choose Swipe Gestures (If Off) ⁃ Enable Extra Gestures Settings >
⁃ Then go to phone settings > ⁃ Display > ⁃ Navigation Bar > ⁃ Choose Swipe Gestures > ⁃ Press More Options > ⁃ Choose Swipe from Bottom > ⁃ Turn Gestures Hints Off. (If you don't want the 3 bars showing)
For whatever reason, when I updated to Android 14 One UI 6.1, More Options was limited strictly to changing the button order. After checking literally one minute ago, The Swipe From Bottom/Swipe From Sides option has populated. Very strange as past updates never took a full day to provide complete functionality before. Regardless, I appreciate all the help the community provided. Thank you all. Take care everyone.
There is technically no 6.1.1 update. It's still 6.1 but with the ".1.1" features added to it. The post sounds like they were a couple of updates behind since the navbar changes came with the original 6.1 update if I remember correctly.
Yes. I had to update the phone twice. I'm guessing that's what caused the Navigation Bar issue. 🤷🏾:male_sign: Though, I've done multiple updates in the past without any problems. Diabolus ex Machina, perhaps?
Recent update to 6.1.1 has wiped out several app log ins. Other icons disappeared from home page but were in setting app list. Really aggravating especially my work apps are missing. I might need to look at iphones if this keeps up.
Recent update One UI 6.1 Android 14 issue, my S21+ will not stay connected to wifi. Went through all stages including calling my isp. It's only my device, iphone and tvs not affected. I've always loved samsung devices but I hate mine right now. Please tell me this will be fixed!
