So i just bought Asus rog phone 6d and im extremely bothered by the lack of the back ,home and whatewer is the 3 one called buttons on the news androids. Is this something you all got used to with time or does this still bother you( IT really fells much less intuitive compared to the old 3 buttons ,alghtough preferably i would love to have both since the back gesture seems kinda usefull )?
You don’t need to reach the middle bottom of the screen, any area on the bottom can trigger the home/recents gesture.
The notification drawer has a bigger and more visible trigger area, tho.
I thought you were talking about system gestures, not nav drawer
okay actually that is good then. that’s perfectly fine.
(although when compared to buttons, i still don’t know how i’m supposed to reach the left edge to go back)yeah fair point, but it’s still the same paradigm of an item that gets dragged into the screen
i was sort of talking about interaction inconsistencies, but alright let me rephrase: a swipe right goes back, but a diagonal swipe does [presumably] nothing despite them being pretty semantically similar
Left or right edge, it’s the same. If you are holding your phone with your right hand, your thumb is either holding the phone by the right edge, or is just hovering on top of it.
At least on LineageOS it can register a diagonal swipe as long as it sorta fits into a 45° angle, either downwards or upwards.
OH. alright, i didn’t know that, that’s much better
yeah alright, that seems pretty reasonable then. i think that does sound fairly consistent and predictable
