Just got my Mate 10 Pro and notice that when i swipe right, the google now widget is showing. But i only get news... Where are all the useful cards that they used to have? Like how long until home and weather and stuff.

Long press on the home button until Google Assistant starts, then swipe up. Lots more options to customize, voice commands, etc. The icon in blue on the screenshot will also take you from the main assistant screen to this. It's also on the news screen on the bottom.
Hit the button top right gets you another way into the assistant side of things and some of the other cards that used to be in the feed.

I know for the Note 2 if you double click the home button you open s-voice, is it possible to make it so it opens google now instead?
If you install Nova launcher you can open Google Now (or anything really)by double tapping your home screen. If you prefer you can launch it with a "pinch" a "swipe up" a "swipe down" or any other of the gestures that are available. It's really quite brilliant.
FWIW, holding menu while on the homescreen opens Google now.

I wonder if there is a widget to activate Google Now, or if not could someone develop one?
Holding the menu button technically doesn't open Google Now. It opens Google Search. Which, yes does show the "cards" like Google Now, but really isn't Google Now.
As far as accessing Google Now, the blue "G" icon is Google Now. So if you put that Blue "G" app icon on the lock screen, you can get to it from there. Put the Google app icon on your home screen to get to it from there, and the long press of the Home Button should allow you to get to it from there.
That really covers all your bases.

Actually, on the Note 2, holding the home button does bring up Google Now. On the Galaxy S3, holding the menu button down brings up Google Search like you said (at least on an S3 running ICS), but it definitely opens Google Now on the the Note 2.
Yes you can set Google now to launch on a double tap.
1. Go into S-Voice settings and disable launch on double tap.
2. Download this app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...S5laWthdG91MC5hcHBzcG90LmhvbWUyc2hvcnRjdXQiXQ..
3. set the app to launch google now and then set your preferred launcher.
4. Profit!
Hope I helped!

I tried exactly this and I like it. It adds a small amount of lag to the one-press home button return to the home screen, but works perfectly for the double-tap straight to Google Now. I don't mind the miniscule lag, and I love the new functionality. Thanks for the tip!

Long pressing the menu button has no lag and requires no additional apps.
I really like the look and feel of nova launcher with the added customization but I found it to lag my Home Screens pretty majorly.
I'm wondering if he's yet to optimize it for note 2/bigger screens?
I use apex and it's fast with no lag...

I'm using Nova and there's zero lag. Very fast and fluid.

I use it on my Note 2, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7/10 and it's as fast as AOSP on every one of them. Might be something else that is causing your lag.

Same here.
I use Nova in my Galaxy 3's & my VZ Note 2, zero lag in either one.

Hey man, I just wanted to thank you for reminding me about that. Makes so much more sense than trying to add a new app.
Home 2 Shortcut app.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
On the Mate 10, when you have the on-screen navigation buttons, a double tap of the task button automatically switches to the last app and back and forth. I can't see how to replicate this with the single gesture key when hiding the on-screen navigation buttons.
I also wish you could customise the gestures:
Swipe to left, go back.
Press once, go to home.
Press and hold, tasks view.
I think this makes logical sense.
Btw, I love this phone.
I think its a copyright issue with regards to your second point.
Regarding your first point, switching apps with fp is not featured yet. But its a good idea and you should send it as feedback using the Hicare app. Either a double tap of fp to switch between last app, or configure the swipe left to do so (while the swipe right remains as "back") or maybe all together do a iphone x style swipe from bottom of screen to switch between apps.

To be honest I have no idea why we the consumer figure out this last app shortcut is a must, what happen to their software engineers, eating donuts too?

Are you aware of other manufacturers havings similar switch to last app on their fp button ? Probably all eating donuts I guess. Or maybe figure out that moving software navigation to fp guestures will have gaps and compromises.
And fyi, the switch between last app was implemented on emui first before android officially implemented it.

Are you a software engineer? Anyways I am guilty I am a regular on Krispy Kreme, Anyways I know double clicking recent app does bring you to the last app, what I am saying is there should be more easy way to do it because on Mate 10 its a lot better not showing the soft key 3 buttons on the bottom, I am asking about that they should place a shortcut on the fingerprint gesture which they don't, you can't double swipe the F sensor to go to last app, or the floating white button because it requires you to press and hold it and swipe up or left to call a command. When you have the Mate 10 you will understand what I mean, and I am not talking about other phones, I just want to remind you may be you missed it, this is the Mate 10 forum or may be I am wrong.
Did you found a solution to this "problem" because I really miss that feature. Doble tap to switch to last app.
I'm so sad because this option disappeared

Hello,
been loving my mate 10 which I own for 3 weeks now.. but there are just somethings that keeps bugging me. I try to check hi care to see but don't to use the phone to talk about something I know the support from our country can't answer.. So here are some questions that you guys might have some solution to...
1. Notofications DPI - been trying to resize this via dev mode, but to no avail.. Is it just me or that thing is really big?
2. mini display view when not using nav bar - no instructions how to do this is you don't like to use the nav bar and maximize the screen.
3. PiP - i know this doesn't work in youtube unless you are a red subscriber but, it doesn't work with chrome as well..
I'll try to add more if I see some, but the 1st one is tbd biggest problem I have. I tried going to a huawei store and they just showed me the mate 10 pro and p10 capable of minimizing font in notifs when view mode is set to small...

Just got my new S9+, and there's so much I don't understand yet. This is my first Samsung phone. I just came over from the Pixel 2 XL, so being used to the Google news feed, I've been trying to customize the Bixby home page. In the screenshot, you can see one of the cards that keeps appearing. My question, is there a way to make that particular card go away? I don't care about finance, sports or Yahoo news, and this card just cycles between them. Other cards have the three dots menu to click "don't show again", but not this one

Have you tried uninstalling the Yahoo app?
Absolutely, the first thing I uninstalled lol. I've never liked Yahoo, I've never used it.
Just tap the 3 dot menu on that card, and choose "Don't show this any more" (or something like that).
you first need to tap on the "next" arrow on that card to get through the 4 pages, after that the 3dot menu should appear and you may remove it.

Hi all,
Just set up my Australian version of the mate 20 Pro and it's going fairly smoothly however I noticed that I don't have "Google feeds" option in my home screen settings (see screen shot). Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Maybe it depends on your provider or country
As far as I know, EMUI comes with a feed called "HiBoard" and the default launcher only seems to support that. You can use NovaLauncher to get the google feed working though (in theory).
On mine theres an option in Home screen settings to enable Google feed by swiping right on the homescreen, I've mine disabled but it was on by default.
I get to it using settings, home screen & wallpaper, home screen settings, its then at the bottom for me.
I'm not using any 3rd party launchers, stock.
DOH! just managed to see your screenshot and mine is where HiBoard is on yours.

euro versions have google feed. chinese/int versions have hiboard
It's just as easy to click on the little G in the Google now search bar widget that some people including myself keep on homescreen.
