For those that are using the navigation gestures. Have you noticed that the back button on the right or left stops working. Only gesture that works is the swipe home.
Everything is fine on my phone. Stock ROM, blu.spark kernel, rooted, OOS 9.0.5.
Haven't had any problems here either, working as it should the whole time
I am on stock 9.0.5 and it happens every once in awhile.

I've been using gestures nav since I got the device 2 days ago and so far I haven't had any issues with it.
I just had the issue 5 minutes ago. The back just stops working. I get the haptic feedback but does nothing. Only swipe to go home works. After I go home it starts working again.

No running stock dark theme. I went into recovery and cleared the cache.
How can I backup everything and do a factory reset? Then restore everything back.

Can I use the OnePlus switch app. It has an option to backup and restore.
9.0.5 here and no issues with gestures.

Can you someone please confirm that the switch to the previous app gesture doesn't work in landscape mode?

That could be the app that you were running at the time. They can override the default behaviour of the back button. Can you remember what app you were using? I know for a fact I have a few apps that make you press back twice before they will exit.

The nice and quick "drag and throw" kind of gesture doesn't work in landscape, if that's what you're referring to. You just get the recent apps list and select the last app from there.

Actually the gestures stay in portrait mode when the screen rotates.

Yes, which is how you can bring up the recent apps list, but you can't do the quick throw gesture to toggle the last app, like you can in portrait.

I thought the same maybe it was one app causing the issue but it stopped working in different apps.

Too bad you can't do this with the Google gestures. With the Oneplus gestures I miss the toggle to turn screen off [emoji16]
I am wondering if Textra is the issue. Is anyone using Textra? Or is everyone using stock messaging app?

Sorry if this is old news but I seen a few people asking if you could disable these especially over at the clean Rom thread cause the developer included soft keys in the rom. Anyways again I'm sorry if this is old news but you go to accessibility/access control. It then walks you through a series of steps like if you want certain parts of the screen to not be affected by touch and so on. I thought this was pretty sweet. Not sure if it's for all models and firmware but worth a shot!

It's all the way at the very bottom of Accessibility. It is listed under Recognition. Turn it on. Then hold down the home button and and volume down to enter the wizard.
It should be helpful for when I do note taking at a meeting so I don't have to worry about touching the physical buttons. But for Button Savior Pro it disables the Home, Menu and Back so it's not something I can have on all the time. Plus the notification drawer cannot be interacted with anymore while this mode is on.

It can if you have nova launcher pro. With a gesture. The notification drawer that is...

I can open the drawer just fine. You just can't touch any of the notifications after you open the drawer.

How to disable them without rooted?

An app named Floating Menu, similar to Pie control, but is in Chinese language only. I can use it for back/home/menu/lock screen/capture screen.
And nova launcher gestures for quick settings and notifications.
Is there any way to make my fingerprint scanner into a capacitive button when the phone is already unlocked? Google turned up some options that say there are apps for Samsung devices, but anything for the axon?
Yes you can. There is an app here on xda apps called Fingerprint quick action. I already have it installed and default action is to toggle notification bar. Home is also an option.

Just to throw my own thread off topic, is anyone else surprised that we're creaming the pixel for onscreen time?

Amazing app. I hope in the future it can be set to Back button functionality so it'd be easier to use the Axon at night. I'm still having a hard time pressing Back or Recent capacitive buttons in the dark.

I'm using the Pie Control app for that - so I don't even have to stretch my thumb down to the bottom of the screen, just swipe in from either bezel. I'm gonna try the Fingerprint Quick Action app - but what happens when you accidentally brush the sensor as your fingers are fumbling around the back of the phone like my fingers often do?

This doesn't require root privileges and teaches dexterous disciprine.

The Pie Control app from the Play store only needs root if you're using some of the special functions (menu) - it works just fine without root.
Also I set this app to turn off with the scanner and don't have problems until I play games and have to move my hands around the back of the phone a bunch. Was frustrating to keep having my screen turn off in the middle of Asphalt 8. Maybe there's a way to make a quick toggle widget for gaming mode?
Recently I noticed that when pressing the home button it does not direct me back to the home page screen. Is it a bug?
I have the same problem

I have the same issue and no amount of factory resets fixes it. I don't want to have to use Nova as it doesn't allow wallpaper to go full view #thenotch. But if this isn't fixed soon I'm going to have to.

Use the white list editor and Nova works fine using the full screen.

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm not familiar with the white list editor. Does it require root? I'm not looking to root my phone ultimately to fix something that should work out of the box on a $700 phone.

Has nothing to do with root but a working knowledge of how adb works

I took the update last night and did not notice until today that the recents button no longer works. There is animation when I press the button and swapping the buttons doesn't help so I do not believe it is a hardward issue. I also tried using gestures instead of the buttons and still cannot see my recent apps. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

I'm on.4.4 and it works fine in gestures, do you have magisk and did you have any modules enabled?
Also try a different home app

Yep I've used system wipe before, keeps the storage intact which is nice..
If you have titanium or swift back ups then you can just restore.
Same problem. Do you disabled or uninstalled oneplus launcher? If yes, restore it, and it will fix.

Embarrassed to say that was it for me too. I froze the OnePlus launcher because I prefer Nova. I've never seen nav bar buttons tied to a launcher before but I wish I had figured it out before I wiped everything and started over.
I had some similar problems before, with different devices and aosp roms. It seems there's some link between launchers and recents apps.
