The swipes required to dismiss notifications require more effort in Nougat. It feels like I need to swipe my finger twice as far as I did in Marshmallow. Are others experiencing. this? Has this been covered already?
Also... Some of the notifications I can pull down on and see there is more to interact with but I can't get the pull down to stick. It just returns to its original height.
The swipes inside of something along the lines of the Gmail app work fine. It seems to only be the notification system that is too finicky. Damn finicky.

Hi,
I have observed in a few apps a certain problem: Some apps don't support the NST side buttons, so I scroll by swiping my finger over the screen. In most apps this works.
But there are a few where it does not work properly: Somehow these apps seem to have a problem interpreting my swipe correctly. Sometimes they correctly interpret it as attempt to scroll down, but very often they will also interpret it as an attempt to scroll up, even though I am making the same movement. This way reading a long article is really annoying because you always get sent back to the top of the article.
Apps in which I have observed this: Wapedia, International Herald Tribune, Read It Later (this last one does not exist anymore, as it has been replaced by "Pocket" which does not work on Android 2.1).
All of these apps seem to show exactly the same problem, so I suspect a common cause.
Did anyone make similar observations or maybe even has an idea for a fix?
Thanks!
I have the same problem for some apps. If I do long swipe up most of the screen there is no problem.
But it is annoying when I forget.
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.
Annoying feature to notifications so far is the forced choice of swiping left and dismissing from phone or swiping down to "keep" the card only to have it pop back up to the bottom of the screen 2 seconds later. Is there any way of avoiding the constant reappearance of cards I just swiped down? Example: I swipe weather down off my screen. A few seconds later is shows back up on the bottom of my screen and clutters my watch face. I just dismissed it, why would I want it right back?
I'm guessing this is just another area where Google is doing beta on us and will fix it down the road.
I've noticed that too... A kind of workaround is to stop the card-notifications from showing up on the clock. You'll have to swipe down to see them. Ofcourse, if something happends (a notification comes in) you'll still get vibrations etc.. The preview just wont show up on the bottom of the screen anymore.
It's in the android wear app.
Thanks. I want NEW notifications, but I don't need them to pop back up 2 seconds after I swiped down! Lol!
I accidentally stumbled upon this today, wasn't sure how I did it, kept tapping and swiping till it happened again. In addition to this, I've also found that swiping up from on or below the nav bar hides QS and/or notifications with just one swipe. However, I can't seem to reproduce this 100% of the time.
Edit: 2 short rapid fire tap-swipes(down) on the status bar will produce the same outcome as "double-tap + swipe-down". Thanks to nednednerb

The double tap isn't actually doing anything. The first tap opens the 6 toggles, the second tap and swipe opens QS as they normally would. You can just swipe down with 2 fingers to open the QS directly.

Not on my phone. a single tap drops the toggles and they instantly fold right back up (they wont stay down). but a double tap drops the toggles and they stay down, then with an additional swipe down QS expands further. and finally with the double-tap+swipe down (or single tap+single tap&swipe down i get the QS right off the bat. i've tried several different ways to make this work and this has always been the final outcome...for me at least.
fyi im running stock rom (x-ota)

and substratum (not sure this would have any affect or not)

The first tap slightly open the QS (it's registering as a partial swipe) and the second tap grabs them, then you're pulling them down.

I feel we are starting to split hairs here, and maybe we are because perhaps it acts differently with different folks. But with my phone (pixel quite black 128 w/ all the goods mentioned above (forgot to mention viper 2.5.0.5 which i cant imagine would have any affect, but who knows, it is a mod afterall)).
So for me it goes as follows -
one-tap = toggles peek
double-tap = toggles stay down and notifications roll down with it
and then if i do an additional swipe down i get QS, obviously
but as mentioned in OP
one-tap, instantly followed by swipe-down (or double-tap+swipe down) i get QS instantly that way.
I would like to add that i say double-tap+swipe-down because i've seen it worded that way over the years i.e. Nova, Root Essentials, etc.
I would ALSO like to add that the entire reason for this post was because over the past 2-3 years (around the end of KitKat, maybe) I've seen the question asked a handful of times how can QS be accessed with one swipe and one finger (or thumb) while being on a stock rom. and yesterday when i did it by accident, it was like discovering a really tiny piece of gold that you weren't even looking for. I smirked when it happened, smirked again when i reproduced it, then came here and shared the wealth.
Seems like allot of extra steps

That's just language tricking the thinker.
The doer.... Flicks the QS open so fast you need a red pill or slow motion camera to catch it.
Steps? I'm there.

Two down swipes is how you're supposed to open QS, you can do it fast or slow. I'm sorry but this is not a hidden feature. The tap is irrelevant since you have to touch the screen to do the swipe.

You should see how my 54 year old friend uses his brand new cell phone, which is also his first computer. His first email addy... I don't think he even aware of notifications as a concept though he is stumbling haphazardly. Wow! Every tap is like a huge sliding long press.
The OP did in first line state "stumbled upon".
LOTS of people value from times and brief reports like this because they learn about device. Cos no one told them "this is how you're supposed go do it, and also this is how many ways you can do it!"
I found this useful. How people understand with language is never irrelevant.

--Typed most of this up yesterday and got sidetracked, glad i waited. nednednerb is right, no point in getting butthurt over something as trivial as this. however the more i think about it, the more i'm starting to think i've been had--
What was supposed to be yesterday's reply:
You seem pretty determined to let us all know how wrong this is, and that's ok with me really, I could care less. But what you need to remember is that there are a lot of inexperienced folks here who are new to Android and/or modding, etc. And if they're here, there's a solid 50/50 chance they're learning or discovering something new for the first time That said, you should really try to focus your energy on encouraging and helping others. You never know man, that one guy/gal may have the answer you've been searching for, but they may decide not to share because their last post embarrassed them. However, if they're completely wrong and they're nearly ready to blow up their device, then by all means step in and stop them.
Also -
"Two down swipes is how you're supposed to open QS" cool new hidden feature is quicker, easier, and there's less hand movement.
"you can do it fast or slow. " hidden feature doesn't do slow, will update as soon as we gather more data
"I'm sorry but this is not a hidden feature." never claimed it was a hidden feature, but if it is, I win
"The tap is irrelevant since you have to touch the screen to do the swipe." double-tap + swipe-down has been around for some time which makes what you said kind of irrelevant
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!

On body detection is the reason in my case.
Problem solved now
