Recents button quit working after 11.0.4.4 update - OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers

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

I tried all of that and it still wouldn't work. I ended up going back to 11.0.2.2 and then upgrading again and the buttons work now.

How are you upgrading and downgrading? Twrp? Or wipe using full OTA? V strange behaviour that going back down and up solved it lol

I used the msmtool. There's a thread here on it.

Was going to suggest wiping system in recovery before going back a firmware, would have saved you losing storage..

I did not think about that but I'll give it a shot in the event I ever have another system related problem. I do miss having everything on a SD card.

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.

Same issue here. Friend with same situation also did a factory reset, which didn't help.

other than using the power button to turn it on, and crossing my fingers that this will get re-enabled in Android 4.5/5 around July/August, no :/
Also annoyed that the auto-brightness+ setting is now gone, but that at least was fixable through the Lux app.
Brightness button did not disappear on mine. Sprint S4
Any solution for the home button?
It's a world wide issue with all tw KitKat updates.

Couple alternatives. Wanam with Xposed could fix it. Also, a different launcher would let you set it too.

Thx bud,
I don't think that the prob is from the launcher, as it doesn't work with other launchers neither (I don't use TW, also it is working normally with s-view cover opened).
I have Wanam with xposed, but don't find any option like that... could you help me out? Thx a lot!
I found another strange issue, don't know if you have it , too. If I deactivate auto-unlock when I open s-view cover, it still unlocks when I open it... even after restart.
Edit: Found the solution for other issue: Nils Notification was set to always unlock when cover opened, nothing to do with rom... My fault

In Wanam, under System, there is a section for Long Home key behavior, can you not, Launch S Voice from there?
I use Google Now, and this is how I launch that.
As for S-view, I can't help with that, I dont have that.

Quick Setting Toggles go to default order after reboot

Is this happening to anyone else? Anytime my phone reboots I have to rearrange the toggles back to the order I like, as they are reset back to default.
Rooted Oxygen 2.1.1
No, no-one?
I thought that maybe Nova could be causing it, so changed back to the Oneplus launcher and still happens. Any ideas?
Known issue. It happens to me also.

Navigation Geatures question.

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?

waking phone not responsive

Sometimes when I pick up my phone after it's been sitting at my desk neither the double tap to wake or the power button will wake my device. Anyone else experienced this?
(I did search for this to see if it was asked already but did not find a thread)

Been having this issue since I got it. None of the updates have resolved it. 9.0.7 hasn't been as bad as 9.0.6 was, but it still happens at least once a day. Haven't updated to 9.0.10 yet. This is my only real gripe I have with this device so far.
I have mine set to tap once on screen to wake up. Sometimes I get this where I need to press power button to wake up.

Me to
I have checked with both single tap and double tap, both of them aren't perfect. Miss mostly when phone is idle for too long. Have to use power button in those cases.
I have had the same issue on both 9.0.7 and beta 1. Sometimes tapping the screen does nothing. The phone does not wake up and i have to got the power button (I have it set on single tap to wake).
I suspect it could have something to do with pocket mode.
I have the same problem. Disabling pocket mode did not resolve the problem.

That's it then. I had the same issue from the start. Even replaced my unit for it. But its basically oos killing apps in order to save battery. And it kills our beloved nova too. It was solved for me after i root my device and grant nova root permissions. If u dont wanna root try using the default launcher for few days and see if the problem still persists.

Well, I thought about rooting but don't feel the need anymore. I'll try some other launchers and see what happens.

I guess only default launcher will work that's oneplus launcher. Other launcher might get killed as well. All the best.

This happens, in my case, with the default launcher from OnePlus.
I'm on full stock unrooted beta1, and had the same issue on 9.0.7.
Hasn't happened in a few days though.

No Recent apps after pie update

Hi
I use Nova Launcher and when I press the RECENT button to opened apps it's empty.
Same happens on the Google original launcher.
Any ideas?
Thanks
