I used to have issues with fingerprint reading then read somewhere to resave the finger you use most often (right thumb for me) two extra times as additional fingers. This greatly improved speed and first time capture on my reader. T

I've seen it with Android messages, Textra, Gmail, and another 3rd party email app. Only since update. Doesn't happen every time, but often.

I've got the same issue. Very annoying.

With the new navigation bar, you can select the "Full Screen Gestures" that keeps it hidden. You swipe up from the bottom to perform the action you want.

Chrome with Adguard. I keep trying others, but nothing else is as quick and dependable.

I have used Adguard with Chrome for some time across several devices. Blocks most all adds using an onboard VPN. Worth a try if you want to stick with Chrome.

I'm using Nova Prime with no issues with second screen.
