Disabling swipe to go back wear os 2.34 - Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm currently sideloadig different apps to my TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS and i was wondering if there's a way to disable the swipe gesture to go back as it's really getting on my nerves in certain apps, or just change that the gesture only works on the side of the screen instead of the whole screen

No, it cannot be changed or disabled.

Fingerprint reader to unlock & display notifications

I'm on the latest RR, 5.3.8. Finger print function works, but there's no addition settings available to do other things once the phone is unlocked (gravitybox added some additional functionality, but no xposed in 7).
I've tried several apps that let you configure additional functions to the finger print once unlocked. The entry i'm using is 'toggle notifications'. This works, but seems to add significant lag when unlocking the phone, requiring at least 2 taps to unlock.
Any thoughts or suggestions for achieving this? Ideally it'd be nice to do a slow double tap - first to unlock, second to toggle the notification without having to move my finger from the back to the front.
hello try to download the NExt lockscreen in Play store..work wonders for me...
Is this app similar to widget locker from years past?
I don't know if I want a full blown lock screen replacement. When I did have widgetlocker instsalled, i used the same apps as were on the home screen. Layout was very similar. Really all I want to do is use the fingerprint reader as another button. It's far more convenient to tap it once unlocked than to move fingers to the front of the phone to swipe the status bar down.

Nav Bar Gestures

Will you be using the new features that eliminate the nav buttons? although you loose the long press options on nav bar
why not
I like the new feature, but I badly miss the menu function (long press} of old navbar, OnePlus should add this function as additional gesture
I liked it, but it's a bit bare now and needs a few preferences to suit everyone.
I admit I was skeptical at first about the swipe navigation posts earlier, but I now can see the benefits.
it's great except for Back not being responsive enough, Home is good
Yes I'd love to replace my Xposed Edge + GMD Gestures combo with a stock feature, but only if we are able to customise the duration of the animations / duration of long press, and if we can enable and disable individual gestures independently. Because the back gestures are wacky, the other ones are good except for the sluggish animations.
Very nice this gestures but have some little bugs:
1. Back gesture not work very good.
2. Can't start Google assistant (long press home button ???) - partial resolve by: "OK Google" or Nova Launcher
3. Same situation on Recent and back button (long press actions) bye bye
The back gesture is not fast enough.
However, gestures are interruptive and fun to use.
I still would love to have the disappearing nav-bar with a simple toggle to bring it up and take it down.
If there was an option to go back to last app with no waiting time it would have been great. For now I will switch to stable or different rom.
I would definitely prefer the back gestures as is on iPhone or Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 (Maybe more models too), just sliding from the left side of the screen or right side of the screen. It is a way easier and more reliable than now.
I like a lot the new gestures feature, like someone said in the previous responses, some customization for the gestures will be greatly appreciated.
No because I use a very similar just MUCH more cutomisable method with better results.
I disabled Nav bar using jOneplustools app via new quick settings option and use this app instead. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ation&hl=en_GB
called: Swipe Navigation
FULLY customisable long press actions and sensitivity. Compatible with most roms and quick and easy to set up.

Fingerprint sensor gestures not working?

I jumped on the bandwagon of the prime day PH-1 and picked one up. I ran through all of the updates and turned on the fingerprint sensor gestures but they aren't working. fingerprint for unlock works just fine though. I've rebooted several times and done a hard reset to no avail. Am I out of luck here?
Thanks
If you updated to Android Pie you have to enable gestures. Burried all the way in the system tab at the bottom of settings.
What do they do? I find the sensor is not in a good place for gestures.
I love the apps oneplus gestures and hide nav bar though. Gives same gestures as op6 and hides nav bar for full screen.
Shame they are not built in along with double tap to wake and skip lock screen after face unlock.
On the Essential its just to pull down the notification shade.

I was just about to start searching for this feature. Coming from the Pixel 2 XL I realized I didn't really need it but just wanted to have it lol. This phone is really nice too bad there won't be a second one

Question about gestures

Hi guys,
I have a Pixel 3 and really like One Plus gestures as you can use the phone without nav bar and get more screen state.
I have been trying some apps but I have a question and would like to know if it is the stock behavior.
Apps I have been trying are:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivianuu.oneplusgestures
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.nobar
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid&hl=en_US
I think they all work fine, but they all have a "activation area" which is just a bar (around 60px height) in the botton of the screen, where the gestures are detected.
But I cannot click anything under that area, I mean if there is something "under" that small area I have to swipe so it goes up and I can click it.
Is that behavior normal in the one plus? I dont think so.
Best regards
I just checked on the native gesture behavior and as far as I can tell, there is no reserved activation area for the OP6T gestures and anything around the bottom-most part of the screen can still be tapped. Each requires the swipe to actually activate.

swipe up from corners to go back

I use lots of apps that swiping right or left brings up side menus ,so swipeing right or left to back is pain and interferes with these apps ,is there any way of using the corners again ?
I hate this, too. So I use the best third party gesture app that retains OnePlus' original gestures, plus adds additional functionality:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivianuu.oneplusgestures
Switch to navigation bar, then use a PC with ADB to hide the bar. Or use root..

Thanks for this recommendation. I too am used to the original gestures and find myself constantly invoking the Google Assistant without wanting to!
I was so disappointed with the new gestures and immediately started to miss my OnePlus 6, this app saves the whole Android 10 experience on OP8. Thank you!!
I don't mind the right side swipe but I don't need the left swipe in for back, any way to deactivate that!?
XDA app uses swipe in from left and the phone just thinks I want to go back

I personally use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid since it has a bit more features. Same setup though. I just couldn't stand the normal implementation...
Try swiping on a diagonal when trying to open a menu.
Edit: diagonal trick doesn't work so well, but I've found that using 2 fingers works very well to slide a menu out and not trigger the back function.
Thought I would revive this ,surely Google and apps developers.realisenthisnis an issue and something has to give ,I use at least half a dozen aps that have swipe from the side gestures ,all that's happening the moment is it takes me back .
Surely either app developers have to make it swipe from middle for it to work or Google has to allow swipe up to go back as an option
