Hi,
just installed the new PIE update on my Galaxy S9+
Tested the new gesture navbar and would really like to give it a try in daily usage
But what I don't understand why is there such a great gap between keyboard and bottom of the screen
If I use the Gboard Keyboard there is no gap
Is there a setting a did not find or do I need to reset my phone?
The gap is still there even after deleting all data of Samsung Keyboard
PS.
I think there a still many bugs tied to this new form of navbar....
as some apps loose there ratio-.-
they've left the gap because people are used to the keyboard being higher because of the nav bar
complaining here won't do anything, you should send the feedback to samsung via the members app
i was wondering this too, too silly.
also where is setting of frame of the app icons? i was using frameless, but couldnt find option in pie.
I think they prepare for s10, same as the way apple make on ip x and xs max
I thought it's there for the keyboard case, so the key would punch the right place. But there're no keyboard case for the S9+.
I believe they bumped it up so people would stop hitting it using gesture navigation. We are still in beta so who knows, they might move it back down.

I'm on the stable version and it's still there, so that's nice.
I think there is nothing we can do. So i started using SwiftKey after the pie update
They are already testing a version of Samsung keyboard that can adjust the bottom gap in Korea with Note 8 Pie beta and they said that they are working one for note 9 and s9.

I was about to download that, but playing with stock after messing it up, I figured out a no-software fix.
Simply resize the keyboard, and you can drag it down:
1) Click the 3 dots in upper right corner of keyboard.
2) Click on Modes.
3) Click on Keyboard Size
4) Drag lower bar down.
Enjoy!
I also made a hair wider, but that may have been from my earlier screw-up.
Edit: I have an S8. Some people have replied that this doesn't work on all phones.

Cannot drag down on my exynos S9 plus G965F, only drag up.

Cool, that made it come down almost all the way. I used to have the apk for this on my S9+ but it doesn't work on the S10+

Like the topic says, any HD version of the HTC IME available for us? I enter really like swipe or the Samsung keyboard much
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I don't think it's going to happen without tweaking the apk or your build.prop. I tried the Evo's HTC_IME, it installed just fine, but when I opened the keyboard was greeted with this nice little message.

Yes, this is the htc keyboard i want,
with the arrows going up, down, left & right!!!
Does anybody have it working on the vibrant??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416
Grab the high res version for anDroid 2.1 and earlier. Works like a charm, just tested it. No arrows like no evo though.
We need to get the evo version working, I need the arrows lol. I hate not having a way to precisely move through text.
I need one with the arrows at the bottom...

I feel you! That's what I need 2, the arrows just like EVO & HD2, I hate having to use my finger to click in between text, especially when typing passwords, where you can't even see the text!!!
does anyone know of a different keyboard that has these arrows? obviously the htc one from hd2 is the best for this, but is there a free or even paid option that replicates this bit of functionality?

You realize you can swipe from swype icon on the bottom left to the symbol key directly to the right of it to bring up arrows, cut/copy/paste, and delete word/backspace keys, right?
Nice. Thanks!

Hey all... I've been trying to figure this out for almost a week to no avail so I'm hoping someone might know an answer... I have four S5's in the house now, and on three of them we have a total of 15 notification buttons across the top. However, on my wife's, she only has 10. I've confirmed we all have the same firmware, these phones appear to be identical... and I've gone through every setting I can think of but I can't seem to figure this out. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
How many do you have in each in the quick settings view like pic below. I only have ten across the top to scroll through in the notification panel. I'm on Nch firmware.

1. Pull down the notification panel, tap the icon next to the settings gear icon to expand all the buttons.
2. Tap the pencil to edit the layout.
3. Drag any of the buttons you want from Available Buttons onto the Active Buttons page and drop it IN BETWEEN any two of the existing buttons.
4. The third row should now appear with one button overflowing onto it from the second row and you can rearrange as necessary.
The problem is it's not very intuitive that you could add a row since if you drag a button and hold it over the end where you'd expect to be able to place it you can't add it, alternatively if you drop it on an existing button it just replaces it as I'm sure you've discovered.

Yes, excellent, so simple yet I missed it Thanks! And, as it turns out, you can put all 20 available buttons up there- even better!
Mine is also different than my sister in law's. For instance hers has car mode and mine doesn't. I have hands free mode. Why is that?
Hi,
I am new to Android - used to have iPhones the last few years. I got a Xperia Z2 a few weeks ago. I am getting used to Android and there are certain things I like very much like over the iPhone. What I am struggling with is the bottom dock. I can remove icons from the dock but I am unable to move any icon from the home screen there. When I long press on an app I can only move the icon within the frame of the home screen but not down to the dock.
What do I do wrong ?
Cheers

Did you pull one off the dock to make space so you can put one?
If you hold an icon over the dock it atop a icon it should make a folder

Yes, I moved one icon from the dock back to the home screen to make space but I cannot move any icon to the dock - when I long press on an icon i can only move it within the home screen but not beyond (see red rectangle on attached screenshot)

i don't know then
link is broken for me
perhaps try factory resting this seems generally abnormal anyways
the links works if you remove the spaces https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8014461/ScreenRecord_2015-01-21-19-39-33.mp4
That is a weird problem indeed, i can move icons to my dock freely from anywhere on my screen and back, never seen this problem before.
Follow Envious_Data suggestion and factory reset your phone. This seems like a soft bug somewhere and should be fixed.
If not try reflashing a stock rom with flashtool and wipe all data in the process...don't forget to make backups

I have a EE edge and it has no option for alphabetical apps that I can find, it is not in the usual place in the top right does anyone one know an app that can replace this or a way other than changing launcher that this can be achieved please?
Also the alarm clock is terrible as I can't seem to change how many time it allows me to snooze or for how long it will snooze for. My old note 4 would allow 10 snoozes and I could change the interval. Am I being blind or has this been removed? If its removed can someone recommend a decent alternative?
Overall love the phone just irritated by these two stupid omissions which have been standard on every android phone I have had for the last few years
Same here, awesome phone but the app draw thing is mental. Hopefully Samsung fix it. Years back the first versions of touch wiz were also lacking this option, then there was an app which did it for you. I can't remember what it was called, and I've searched and can't find anything. Anyone? I don't want to swap launcher before anyone suggests doing that.

Nope, just the edit button which only let's you rearrange them manually. This is driving both me and my wife mental lol.

Samsung took their Apple emulation a bit too far now. No way to alphabetize app drawer and if you go in applications you will find settings for stock apps just like with the iPhone. It's like they care more about people jumping ship from the iPhone than they do about loyal customers.
I also can't find a way to hide files in the gallery so if you have a lot of music installed it automatically puts the album art in which is very cluttered. All of these issues are not present on the note 4 running lollipop so would be very interested to hear Samsung's reasons for these annoyances.
Although individually they are all small added together the are really starting to annoy me and may make me consider my purchase which is a shame as the hardware feels amazing and the music is superb. I just hope it is a case of time to sort these things out.
I second the snooze problem and the alphabetical sort issue as well...
i had a software update...but that didn't help in sorting this issue....

Long story short, coming from a long time Huawei fanboy but now have an S23 Ultra. From a thread on here I’ve discovered aodNotify and love it. That got me thinking, what other apps do people consider essential to enhance the phone experience?

This lets you put a battery ring around the camera punch hole to make it useful. It also allows me to clear up my notification area and not have battery Icon/percentage there.

Just tried it, can’t get it to align on my S23 Ultra
Also, in case anyone is wondering, you can remove most of the icons on the Status bar:
Install Good Lock: https://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.samsung.android.goodlock
Launch Good Lock and install QuickStar
Enable Quick Star
Tap Visibility of Indicator Icons

Not sure what to say here... I followed my instructions and was able to position it just fine.
One thing I can say is if you message the Dev, he's very responsive (he's even here on XDA (https://forum.xda-developers.com/m/jagan2.1884109/)) so you can message him and see if there is something he can help with.
I'll keep poking around and see if there was anything else I can think of that I did. I'll uninstall and reinstall to see if that can replicate what you are seeing and what I did to fix it.
Found the issue, my screen resolution is set to FHD+ and not WQHD+
If I change it to WQHD+ it's fine. I'll inform the dev.
Cheers.
