Normally to access Google assistant with the new gestures (swipe from sides and bottom) you have to swipe from the bottom corners diagonally upwards to bring up the assistant. But it turns out you can just swipe upwards from the corners as well to bring up the assistant which ai prefer because it works every single time and doesn't feel as awkward to activate as it would diagonally.

Hi @RobPerkins , you can already do this just download Good Lock from the Galaxy Store, once you have installed the app, open it and press on family and download routines. From there you can enable this option. There are many more adjustments you can make with routines. AOD whilst charging is just one of them.

I'm glad you like my idea @MagdalenaG 😁 do let me know where this goes as I'd love to know!

Hi, I am not a mod but I can tell you that video calling and RCS are built into the phone but your network provider has to support it. So it is down to them. For example, in the UK at the moment the only providers that I know of that supports RCS/Video calling are Vodafone and Voxi which uses the Vodafone network. Your recipient also has to have a supported sim card and network provider.

I have grown to love the whole thing with One UI how things are brought towards the bottom of the phone to make one hand interaction easier. I am very specific about how I like my phone layout to be. On my home screen I have made things allign with the concept of One UI (my most used apps at the bottom and useful information like the weather and clock widgets at the top). This is why I came up with the idea of doing a similar thing to the app drawer. Now of course we can't have widgets in the app drawer, however I would like the freedom to be able to move my icons towards the bottom. As you can see in my screenshot, I have everything in folders and it would be so perfect to me to be able to move those folders to the bottom of the screen for easier access. It would be a sweet bonus if you could let is move the search bar to the bottom too. App drawer Homescreen

I think rather than removing the black bar I think a toggle in the keyboard settings would be a better solution as I find the black bar useful so I don't accidently so to the home screen with the gestures

At the moment we only have the option of black and white on the stock theme keyboard. I think it would be really cool to see more customisation features similar to Gboard. For example more colours for the keyboard. Maybe even add an option to add your own background from either your gallery or some pre installed options.

Here is a screenshot of what I'm talking about. Notice how this user is in the 'My Themes' section of the theme store? And notice how there is an arrow indicating that the themes need to be downloaded? This is becase they are first party themes that come with the device. You see loads of them with the title of a colour and of course these match the available colours for the S10 devices. I was wondering if this could be a feature added to other One UI devices too as it was a promised feature for One UI but for some reason only the S10 has it.

I noticed that the S10 series has different coloured themes to match the colour of your phone. This was a feature that was promised to all devices running One UI. Is it possible we could see this implimented on the S9 series as well? I think it would be really cool.

When I find a theme that I really like I can't activate dark mode. Which is now a systemwide thing. What I would like to see is support for dark mode in 3rd party themes so we can have the theme we like most whilst still being able to enjoy the benefits of dark mode.

Thanks for the response @MagdalenaG Is there any way you can pass this onto the google team?

A lot of Samsung users I know really loved the hide nav bar button from android 8.0. I myself liked it too. Is it possible you can bring back that old feature? A lot of average users find the gestures complicated and annoying. Having the nav bar that you can hide and bring back by swiping up from the bottom was a really good idea and it would be nice to see that return rather than having the nav bar toggle in the quick menu.

Rather then the new gestures using the entire screen, could we adjust the area in which we can activate the 'back' gestures? I find the new gestures conflicting with other actions such as the edge panel and chat heads from facebook messenger. Also the gestures in landscape also feel a little sloppy. I think an overall improvement is needed in the new gestures system.
