Gesture's

[mustang7757]

Just curious who's still using buttons?
Me personally I use swipe gestures

 

[spARTacus]

Didn't they take part of them away? There used to be an option for swipe up from the bottom at the left for recent, swipe up from the bottom in the centre for home, swipe up from the buttom at the right for back (and corresponding to where the soft buttons can also be displayed at the bottom for recent, home, back). However, I don't have the available anymore. Is that what you're referring to? Did they bring it back for a beta?

Switched to gestures many years ago.

That's in Good lock the Samsung swipe up gestures , I'm using Google's

Swipe up from bottom at centre (for home) or swipe in from left or right at bottom (for recent or back), is I think still available native Samsung. How does one get Google Gestures on Samsung?

You have only two options in settings>display>navigation
Buttons it Google gestures, Samsung is not an option anymore except in Good lock

I can set mine to use the three soft buttons at the bottom, or to use gestures at the bottom (with then gestures being limited to swipe up from bottom centre and in from either side at bottom). So that's default Google/Android, not Samsung?

Yeah swipe up then left or right is Google's

I am learning gestures on my S26U but I prefer the buttons. I use the buttons on my S9+ tablet.

I've got the soft buttons on, not the gestures. I came to Android from BlackBerry and was quite used to gestures. And, I used the gestures back when the arrangement was set to allow swipe up from the bottom at left, centre and right. When they took that away and moved it to the arrangement of swiping up from centre and in from left/right sides, I turned gestures off (it was just too awkward for me initially to try to retrain mussle memory for swiping in from the sides). With the soft buttons, I still basically swipe up (over the soft buttons) from the bottom left, centre and right. I'd prefer to not have the soft buttons showing at all, but oh well.

To answer the original question, I basically use swipe gestures up from the bottom (over the three soft buttons) but I have to have gestures turned off and the three soft buttons on, in order to use it the way I do.

I switched to gestures as soon as they came out. My wife still uses buttons. It's great when we use each other's phones and look stupid trying to swipe or poke buttons.

I was just typing basically the same thing...

Definitely gestures!

The Husband still uses buttons. It drives me nuts when I have his phone.
I swipe away and nothing happens.

It always takes me a bit to figure out what's wrong.

I'm using Samsung's gestures.

I was using gestures on phones way back when nova had them while Google and Samsung was not. Then I went to a app called edge gestures.

Now with goodlock I use Samsung's edge gestures. I prefer the side gestures. I have it set up right below the edge panel pull out bar.

I tried gestures a few phones ago and couldn't get used to it. I've always been used to the buttons. I did change my button icons from good lock but now I may try messing with gestures again.
