guys - i just got the pixel and confused if there is one home screen or 3 screens together that are known as the home screen
Supposedly according to google, I can swipe from bottom and get to the home screen but doing that it simply puts me on the screen I was at before (even if it was the 3rd rightmost screen). If I swipe from bottom, then it's same behavior
Can somebody explain?
Thx

Hey,
Anytime I open up my phone to text a white bar shows up at the bottom of the screen. It's been happening for like 2-3 weeks now, but can't figure out what it is. Basically anytime I slide up, the screen switches to landscape and it automatically has a white bar on the bottom. If I click the screen, everything is moved and the screen reacts like the bar isn't there(as in I have to click an inch below anything I want to actually hit)
Any ideas? Thanks guys!
Really? No one can help?
Can you post screenshots of your screen?
Is this a physical screen problem or a graphic problem?

How can I tell which is which?
The problem is pretty easy to explain, dunno how to do a screenshot... Basically it is my normal screen, just like always, except at the bottom there is a white bar, maybe 1/4 inch thick. What it does is move all my graphics up. So the start bar is not visible, and the send button(for txt messaging) would be right above the white part.
If I hit something I can see on the screen, it will act like I'm hitting where the graphic is supposed to be. For example, on the text messaging screen, if I hit the part that says "Inbox" (which is located at the very top of my screen because of the white bar), it will bring up the Start Menu as if I hit the start menu(which I did tap where the start button would be if the white bar wasn't there, but graphically the start bar is off the screen and I am tapping where the start button would be, but instead it is now the Inbox button that is there instead, but the behavior acts like there is no white bar there)
I have a really, really strange dead spot issue with my G2. It does NOT seem to be a hardware issue. It started a few days ago.
The bottom area of the screen appears dead, but only when I use certain applications. For example, the bottom 'row' of the screen does not respond to touches when the dialog-box type buttons in the Email and Gmail accounts are on screen (the row of buttons with 'Delete', etc). The same is true with any other application that puts buttons on that bottom row like that.
But if I touch the screen in the same spot in home launcher, or if I hit the 'menu' button and the pop-up menu appears, that area of the screen works fine.
I also noticed I can't dismiss the pulldown status menu by tapping at the bottom of the screen.
I've tried using different roms (Cyanogen 7, 7.1RC1, MIUI, etc), and they all have the same problem.
Has anyone seen this?
Hi, my phone has randomly decided to mix my home screens up so that now my main home screen is number 3 or so and the new main screen (house picture along bottom of screen) is a previously unused screen which is blank. So every time i turn my phone on i have to flick around to find my original home screen which is very slow and annoying. How do i re set the order of my screens so that my original one is the main (house picture) screen which appears whenever i use my phone? Thanks!
Solution
Found it! hope this helps others. Turns out it's not in settings. You just pinch the home screen. Then you can add, remove, change order and select default home screen. You do the latter by pressing the white house icon on the top of the screen which will then be highlighted in white all around its icon.
I have my V20 navigation controls hidden for almost all apps because I like the full 5.7" screen always displayed, but it's a pain sometime to swipe up to get access to them. Is there any way to get a 3rd party app that you can put into the Second Screen as an app shortcut, and when you click the app shortcut icon it will navigate DIRECTLY with the one press on the second screen (i.e. go to home screen and back button, mainly)? I don't think it could be a widget because you can't load widgets as a app shortcut on the 2nd screen. Note that I am NOT rooted.
Probably not but I just thought I'd ask.
This actually works in the nav bar as a return to home button, although will not appear on recent apps when used. Now looking for a back button

If you have any sort of experience with Tasker I'm sure you can create a simple task that goes back, and just assign it to a button that you throw on the 2nd screen though I just checked and some widgets don't actually work in the 2nd screen. Greenify works fine but my mobile payment app doesnt't.
Seems like it can't be a widget or floating button. Can't find a back button that works by clicking the app shortcut icon like the home button does above (i.e. no app options - click and executes the one function directly). Oh well at least I have half what i need.
A pain to swipe up but easier to reach all the to the top of the screen? Smh. Doesn't make sense.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm often at the top of my screen switching apps and want to get to the home screen. Plus ONE press on a button instead of a swipe up and press and have it hide again. My thumb is on average in the middle of the screen so up and down or the same. Plus if holding the phone in my left hand it's easier to get at the top with my right hand index finger. Just tried the home button above and definitely faster and less annoying then the hidden nav bar. Doesn't seem like there is a similar back button anywhere that i can find.

All I have to say is software nav FTW!
Hello all
I just picked up a AT&T S5e last night and was setting it up as much as I could the same as my AT&T Note 9, and for the most part everything worked fine, but in the section for Display>Home screen, there were two options I was trying to get working that would not.
The first was the Home Screen grid layout which for every time I tap on it, it just takes me to the regular full-size home screen and not the screen one that shows it smaller and with the few options below to change the grid layout.
Oddly it does this for the next option down of the Apps grid screen, but not the Home screen grid.
Then the second issue is the selection slider for the Apps button to have that button shown on the Home screen and for that the selector actually slides to the right an goes blue, but when I close this setting page and open it back up, its back to the left again as in that it did not save that selection.
Needless to say the Apps button is not on my Home screen either.
Oddly both of these work correctly on my AT&T Note 9 phone and both when it had Android 9 and now with the 10 upgrade, but they won’t do this on my S5e.
Also btw, I did do the One UI Home upgrade and its now showing it as version 10.0.35.14, and that it’s the latest version.
So has any one else had these same problems?
Thanks
