4.2.2 broke two finger swipe for quick settings? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After updating to 4.2.2, I have noticed that I cannot swipe down with 2 fingers to open quick settings.
I have to swipe down with 2 fingers and then continue swiping down with 1 finger to open quick settings.
The Quick Settings toggle/button still works.

Can't confirm, I'm on 4.2.2 and two-finger wipe down on notification bar brings up the quicksettings just as before.

2 finger swipe works fine for me too

Working fine for me as well.

It seems to work now... Maybe I wasn't swiping correctly (although that's hard to imagine)?

I now have the same issue. Sometimes the 2 finger swipe works and sometimes it brings down the notification bar slightly and then bounces back up. When I lock and unlock my phone again most of the times it works again. Must be a bug or someting.

I just had this same problem. Two finger swipe was not working anywhere. I tried in with Quick Settings, in Nova Launcher gestures, and in Google Maps. Each time, it seemed to register only one finger at a time. However, pinch-to-zoom still worked. Therefore, it's not like all of multi-touch was broken. I even restarted my my phone, but it didn't help. However (thanks "lowtje"), I just tried locking and unlocking my phone and it seems to have fixed it.
Nexus 4 - stock, rooted
Android 4.2.2

Hey guys, I think I found a bit more detail about this problem...at least for me. This seems to be a problem somehow connected to if the phone is charging. This video certainly demonstrates what I'm experiencing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoKvMcMzZ_I

[Q] PIE Sensitivity issue

Hello there, Im having a weird issue with PIE, whether it's SLIMpie, PA's PIE or even LMT Launcher's PIE controls - I usually set my PIE trigger area at the Bottom, when triggering it it doesn't really work perfectly unless I trigger it from the very left side of the bottom of my screen, it doesn't really work well at the center and right bottom of it - Unless I set the trigger area as MAXIMUM.
If I set the default settings but on the Right or Left area, it works perfectly, is it a problem with my screen ?
And NO, I dont like the area to be maximumly triggered since it conflicts a little bit with the Launcher's dock, where it becomes a little slacky

Just because bottom part screen has the GOOGLE SEARCH. I mean when you slide your finger upwards from bottom of the screen the GOOGLE SEARCH ring appears..
Also check this. I am on Slim ROM,
the trigger gravity should be 75%
trigger thickness should be 40%
This settings is what I use and all working fine here.

Works fine for me.
It could be an issue with the digitizer on your touch screen.
Test:
Load the app "dev tools" and click on pointer location
Note that if activating pie it doesn't show the pointer tail so start in the center of the screen.
Drag from the center down to the bottom and drag it across the bottom end of the screen to make sure that you are actually getting touch detection at the bottom.

[Q] Air gesture on NOTE 3

Hello,
I have all air gesture options on and none of them is working, sometimes the air gesture symbol appears on the top, but rarely. Does anyone have this problema?
Thank you.

yes my wife's note 3 n9000q model has the same problem.
Any tips to solve it?
I've noticed the same thing, I think it's ROM related, because if you actually go in every gesture and click try it, it works just fine.
Also the gestures do work just kind of strange, I've noticed it with screen off, when you keep moving your are over the sensor a lot fast, the preview screen does come on.
Also answer Call and screen shot movements work fine.
For me I don;t use them as much, specially since the eye stuff work great, I would just leave it alone, I thinks it's ROM not hardware so changing the note won;t help. But I may be wrong, I still have like 10 days to exchange so if someone knows more info please share
Problem solved.
Went to the shop and replce it for a new one. the sensor was broken.
I don't get the icon, but it does work.
Not that I use it, it drains my battery to much.
Hey Guys,
So here's the explanation. The Air Jump icon which looks like a hand with directional arrows around it only appears in the embedded email application on the Note 3 as well as some select 3rd party applications on the Google Play Store.
On the Galaxy S4 it appears in the embedded browser as well to allow users to scroll through web pages by waving your hand from bottom to top or top to bottom.
I'm not sure why they have left this out but i imagine it's because the phone has smart scroll already which might make air jump redundant.
Hope this helps.

Has anyone tried to pull the Browser from the S4 and install it on a Note 3 to see if the air gestures work in that? I too was disappointed when I got my Note 3 because I actually used the full page scroll and left/right page switching a lot on the S4.

Maybe your sensor was indeed broken, but mine is fine (Works with Air Call Accept, Email app)

[Q] One-handed operation

I only tried to use this feature on my S5 a couple times, but my wife would like to use this feature on her new N4. I find that starting the One-handed operation function on both the S5 and N4 using the touchscreen gesture described in the enabling setting screen rarely works. It takes a bunch of swipes before the reduced One-handed screen appears.Very annoying and defeats the purpose of the feature as you actually have to try to enable it using two hands. I didn't even try to master using this feature given that it's so hard to get it started. I thought it was an issue with my S5, but after trying it on the N4... I had the same results. Is there a shortcut to enable this feature other than that the swiping gesture? Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Im sure you dont swipe correctly, for me it work all the time, just swipe your finger from screen edge to the middle then back to the screen edge with a horizontal way! Its not a V-like swipe, its like a hohorizontal "I" swipe just try it until you get it working!
Good luck!

Yes, I'm swiping correctly, but it's not very reliable it works only 1 out of 6 or 7 times. I have a wallpaper with a straight line down the middle and I swipe over that straight line to the middle of the screen from the edge of the screen and back. Of course in a horizontal I. It would be nice if this feature had a toggle in the top bar pull down to turn it on/off. I'm hoping a Xposed Module developer notices this deficiency and comes up with a module with shortcut solution.
You have to start at edge of screen then finish at edge of screen, which can be a problem if you have a case. Doesn't hurt to actually go past the center either.
I can do it pretty consistently, and the times I fail I know it's because I hit the rim on the case and didn't swipe all the way to edge.

Right edge sensitivty - swipe in from right edge not working

Ok this is a little hard to explain, but in using my 6p (stock) now for a few days, when I swipe in from the right edge it doesn't seem to work, as well or at all. I use Action Launcher 3 and one of the perks is quickpage, which is activated via swipe in from the right edge. I can get it to work if I don't swipe in from off the screen, but click just a hair in from the edge. The left edge swipe in works fine.
I thought maybe it was the app but Facebook appears to be the same, when trying to swipe between feeds, requests, etc.
I even tried the google launcher with multiple pages it doesn't handle the swipe in from off the edge well either.
So is it just my phone or can others duplicate my findings? I just want to see if it is just me or not.
thanks

I've got no issues with mine at all, I'm using Action Launcher 3 and mine works perfectly. I'm afraid you might have a defective unit
You could always try a factory reset- you never know.
thanks any others please let me your thoughts too

lockscreen problem Moto G4 Nougat

Hi anyone else experiencing a bug where it takes like 5/6 trys to slide the lockscreen up. Its like im not sliding up enough but im going off the top of the screen i have to flick like 20 times sometimes.
Indeed Nougat seems to require a slightly different swipe-up-to-unlock action than Marshmallow. If you're going off the top of your screen, though, you are doing it wrong. You're not catching Pokémon, just slowly swipe up about an inch, that should already trigger the unlock. Do a practice run, see how slow and short you can do it, you'll be surprised.
I also have this problem since the update to Nougat, sometimes the screen will unlock with a short swipe and others you have to go the full length of the screen!
I have taken the screen lock off for now as i am fed up with swiping 5+ times to unlock the phone
If you disable swipe to shrink screen in moto actions then it works fine.

Yeah it works fine with swipe to shrink disabled now thanks
Shame that the swipe to shrink is causing the problem.
I can confirm the issue, and for the moment, also the solution! Thanks guys

Had same problem but this didn't fix it for me. Ended up disabling/enabling Moto app. Noticed System UI tuner had disappeared so re-enabled that also. So far so good...
This is an old thread, but my findings may be relevant. A short time ago, I also started to have problems with all sort of swiping, on the home screen, but also when swiping away notifications or within apps. (Ironic, since I initially discarded those problems in the first answer here. Mea culpa.)
Eventually, I found the reason for it. I used a small app, "Media Volume Only", which hooked into the special "read phone status" permissions (in this case to monitor and modify volume keys behaviour). I assume in the process of monitoring gestures/keys it interferes with swiping actions. After disallowing, disabling and deinstalling this app, my swiping actions are as responsive as they should be.
So if you still have problems with swiping, it may well worth looking into these apps that carry that special permission.
Disaable all smart lock option.
Mainly on body detection option.
Thanks....
Its working 100%

You nailed it! Not only does their "Swipe to shrink screen" feature work TERRIBLY, as if that wasn't poor enough execution, it works terribly at the expense of making the swipe to unlock so completely frustratingly UNRELIABLE.
These folks need to take a leaf out of Huawei's book and make the swipe to shrink, work by swiping horizontally across the navigation bar ... (Huawei, incidentally, are FAR from perfect and need to fix their TERRIBLY laggy, sluggish phones) - you can SEE why people side with iPhone, can't ya!
