My infinix hot 4 lite keeps minimizing when am playing games... Why?

[Android Central Question]

Especially when am playing a game that requires both thumbs on the screen... Immediately i place both thumbs on the screen.. It suddenly minimizes... Its really frustrating

Welcome to Android Central! Are these games you installed from the Play Store, or from somewhere else? Are you certain you're not accidentally tapping the Home or Back button, or using a gesture with those functions? Is the phone getting really hot when you play the game?

I am experiencing the same thing here. Its not just the games. Its whenever 2 fingers move on the screen. The minimize (or show recent app) overrides any multi touch gesture. What do I do?

Welcome to Android Central! Check the system settings menu for any option to control your onscreen gestures. Is there any way to turn them off?

 

[baiyoolanga]

I have turned off all gesture functions but it still persists.

What if you use a 3rd party launcher like Nova -- does the same thing happen?

You using a 3rd party launcher ? Anything in accessibility u have on?

 

[baiyoolanga]

Nope. I don't. Even when I tried it once, it still keeps on minimizing.

Welcome to Android Central! Do you also have an Infinix Hot 4 like the OP, or something else? What do you mean by your fingers crossing the screen? Does your phone have any kind of gesture set up to put the screen to sleep (kind of like how some phones have a double-tap gesture to sleep)?
