Pie screen rotation toggle missing with full screen gestures & hidden hints. - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

Hi,
Have any of you guys experienced this bug?
After updating to android Pie, we get this small icon on the bottom right of the screen after rotating your phone. You can touch it to rotate the screen or if you ignore it, it will disappear by itself after a few seconds. Recently I have been experimenting with full screen gestures and I liked it a lot. I have no issue with the gesture hints turned on, but I noticed that if I hide the gesture hints, the small icon also stop working after awhile. It does not stop working immediately, so after I turned the hint off it still appears if I rotate the screen, but minutes later (probably 15-20 minutes), if I turn the phone sideways, the button does not appear. I have to rotate through the notification panel (the old way) or I have to turn the navigation bar back to button or turn on the hints to get the small icon back (only for it to go missing again a few minutes after I hide the hints again).

I use full screen gestures without hints and it works fine on my phone. Maybe try to reset your settings and report the bug.

[Q] Lock screen shortcuts randomly stop swiping action?

I love the "swipe up an icon to launch that application" feature of the lock screen on the One. But I've noticed that (seemingly randomly) it just stops working. For instance, I'll grab the chrome icon and swipe up, and the phone won't register that I've grabbed anything, and the screen just unlocks. Rather than an icon floating with my swipe gesture -- the lockscreen just fades out and then the phone displays whatever activity was open when the screen was turned off (almost like I've grabbed the lock icon, though I haven't). Has anyone else experienced this? And how can i get it to go back to the default behavior?
Did you install any kind of notifier that would display on top of the lock screen? I found out that after installing Notifierpro with accessibility services turned on it messed up the Sense lock screen.
I have posted my experience on a different thread and did not see your post. I just thought maybe you are experiencing the same problem.

Mine sorta does the same thing. Sometimes I will grab an icon (any icon for that matter) and it won register the swipe at all, It won't even bother unlocking and it wont register any swiping at all until I do one of two things
- I will have to hit the power button twice to sleep and wake the device then swipe to unlock
or
- Hit the Home or Back button then swipe to unlock
anyone experience this? hope this helps

Gesture To Wake/Sleep

the settings > accesibility > dexterity > wake on gesture feature works great on my phone, however i want to also be able to turn the screen off with the same gesture, why would they not build that function into it stock? stupid
anyway what other options do i have to make this work, the ones ive found on the play store lack decent reviews, eating battery, turning on in pocket etc.
Get nova... Get lock screen app... Have double tap feature mapped to lock screen ... Double tap on home screen .... Profit
Have you noticed any battery drain with the gesture motion enabled?
I have the exact question. Any way to lock the screen without physically pressing any button? I dont mind any gesture or an icon on the homescreen. If you click that icon, the screen turns off.
No drain .... M running the same on my nexus 5 and note 4....

[REQ] Stopping/disabling/removing 'tap to wake' lockscreen or similar

MTK phone, CM12.1, and doesnt have an option to turn tap to wake off, In gestures or in display, I know it should as google tells me it should, but it doesnt. This is on CM12, or resurrection remix, or crdroid, or pacman rom.... none have the option to turn it off. So in my jeans my phone keeps waking up and doing stuff in my pocket. Tried a pin or a pattern but it ends up opening emergency call and typing hundreds of numbers. All this is wasting battery. So... how can I either get rid of tap to wake lock screen, or completely remove the emergency call button. Gravity box USED to have the option, but doesnt now and some xposed lock screen apps hide the writing for it, but its still there. So am looking for:
disabling tap to wake lockscreen
removing the emergency call option completely.
removing the lockscreen completely.
A new lockscreen with NO notifications, nothing extra (tried zui but hated that slide up settings thing)
any of these fixed is great.
Can anyone tell me what its actually called within the ROM? Something I can delete before I flash a rom, to stop it working?
ANY help appreciated.

App or setting that can disable Notification shade(not notifications) in games.

I want to disable the notification shade entirely as its very irritating mid game. sometimes even pulls down the whole notification area since I use claw many buttons near the top of screen.
google only give solutions to disable notifications not the bar itself.
im currently unrooted and on stock rom don't mind unlocking and flashing if necessary.
I use full screen mode with gestures not buttons like shown in screenshot, enabled for getting using screenshot shortcut only (by long press back button)

[Android 13][Bug] Navigation gesture stopped working suddenly

I'm still investigating why and when it's happening: After using the Wing for some time (regular use, nothing special) the navigation gestures stop working and the navigation bar (hidden) is unacceptable. Only solution so far is to rather a) to restart your phone or b) go to settings and turn the "classic" navigation bar on and off. You can see the navigation bar indicator flashing at the beginning while I'm trying to do the"swiping up" gesture on the screen. But no multitasking screen is shown.
