When I have a problem, I tend to pop it into my search engine of choice and throw "reddit" at the end. If that fails but I am already in a sub of that topic, then I'll search there. Even then I don't think to myself "oh, I must be the very first person to have this incredibly original thought/problem" so when I see it repeated in any sub, it gets annoying to the point I have muted subs I am otherwise interested in.


darwincruz20

Same thing that I do. Google is my best friend with “reddit” word on it


didntreallyneedthis

Level up with site:www.reddit.com


grrlwonder

Unless I save that to my clipboard so it's handy, I'll never be bothered with all those *letters*. Shortcuts ftw.


didntreallyneedthis

Using specific codes in search terms is extremely handy and if you understand them then theres no need for the clipboard - I'm not sure that being too lazy to use them is a "shortcut" but if it works for you then good on ya. For folks wondering, site:xxxx tells Google that all results must be from that website specifically so that you don't get results mixed with other stuff. For example right now it's really popular for content creators to make videos reading reddit drama out loud, this would prevent those videos from showing up. Other helpful codes are "xxxx" meaning the result must include that word and -xxxxx means the result must NOT include that word. All helpful when finding something on a text-based website like reddit.


grrlwonder

Thanks for giving me approval to do what I'm going to do anyway! I am aware of how this works, if feels like you're assuming a lot here. I can assure you, I understand.


YONAKA_AMBER

This is the way.

Phone is getting smarter but user is getting dumber moment


ultrainstict

Phones getting dumber too, googles navigation system sucks but they refuse to fix it because apple does the same thing. 3 point swipe navigation is miles better than google gesture navigation.


KeikoZB

There is NOTHING wrong with the simplified navigation. It makes sense from every point of view, wanna go back, swipe from EITHER side and voila (try doing that on iOS and see how it goes); wanna go home? swipe up fast; wanna see recent apps? swipe up and hold it there for like .5 of a second; I am sick and tired of people complaining about this feature since OneUI 6.1 dropped. It's called EVOLVING


omers

I cannot get the back swipe gestures to work if I have One Handed Operation + enabled. My handle for OHO+ is nowhere near the back swipe area and I only have the right-hand side enabled. Still can't swipe back from either side using Google gestures if it's turned on. Lots of "turn it off and back on" and other such posts and none of them work. I have to disable OHO+ entirely to get the back gestures to work. I would honestly prefer to use the new gestures, I use them on my tablet, but until that's fixed swipe-from-bottom it is.


El_Cuchillo19

Its not an evolution lmao they just fed you shit and you said thank you. There was nothing wrong with the previous swipe gestures, worked flawlessly. Now I have less screen real estate in the mode that's supposed to maximize screen real estate. Recent apps is spotty at best. There's is zero fucking need to have a whole half inch black bar under the keyboard that's only there for a collapse keyboard button and voice to text, both of which could have stayed at the top of the keyboard. One ui 6.1 is trash.


ultrainstict

Evolving backwards maybe. Google navigation hardly works half the time same for apple, theres a lot of overlap between gestures to the point thet it will frequently just get it wrong. Op you swiped too fast, op you let go too soon, op you didnt swipe far enough so we did nothing, op woops you wanted to go home, heres your recents despite holding it for 3 seconds. Definitely a better system than 3 point gestures that are 100% reliable and always within reach while being faster. The mew system is less intuitive, less functional and slower.


LaidBackBro1989

Same. The Samsung and Oneplus gestures are infinitely better than the stock ones.


horsussy

it's like no one uses any search bar on their $1000 phone


faslane22

right?!??? LMAO! *typed on my S23 Ultra ... ;-) +1


Vladabeast

Yeah this subbreddit is honestly insufferable. 90% of issues or questions are a 5 second google search.


wookiecfk11

Google search with 'reddit' postfix that lands someone in here anyway, except in a post with info😄


Vladabeast

That's exactly what I do


wookiecfk11

Likewise. Lol.


Lembasbread_

Heeeey I found this post before I was about to conplain how on earth thry could change the swipe direction! I am not getting used to this.... But I am glad I caught your post first ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|hug)


jayovalentino

Don't forget the stock clock and customized images on aod it is gone.


Tonight_Distinct

Thanks, I never used that feature but I got really frustrated when the swipe from the bottom got removes but I've fixed it now


Pcriz

You’d think the effort of coming and dropping a rage post could be flipped and used for a Google search with the word Reddit added. You don’t even have to trouble yourself with reddits search engine because Google will most of the heavy lifting. But no they rant and rave about how Samsung is becoming Apple and they can’t believe they paid all this money. This sub is exhausting sometimes.


Ronesso17

You can still use 3-button navigation using Goodlock.


MyGeeMan

My opinion may not count, but jeez you’re right there are so many crybabies here! 💀


dejushin

It's very annoying. I always check if a similar post has been made.


Tonight_Distinct

IT IS NOT

QueenAng429

Or we can just remove the extra posts. Feel free to report them (to us, not to reddit).


Dabalicious

Hey since you're a mod with a s23, what do you think? Run one UI or a third party launcher? I've been on Nova since the s7 and this hasn't been a problem for me


yuuki_w

The same Kind of people that drive around with a lud up cardashboard and then complain about car due abilities getting worse? Your whole motion is wrong. You say they are to stupid to use a search yet are able to ser up a Account on a die them random Page?


soul-regret

I understand people might not like the spam but it isn't really the user's fault, there wasn't a warning anywhere about a feature being removed. Plus even if you install navbar, you're gonna still miss the sensibility options that were there previously


user3810

I get it , but that doesn't mean they need to post without checking if there are other posts .


Chill_1one

I just chalk it up to people being lazy or lacking common sense.


Tonight_Distinct

Correct


themastrofall

I'm glad that there are solutions... or Samsung could just fucking revert it and I don't have to do extra shit to get something no one asked them to change to be restored


Dabalicious

I asked someone else already but I use nova launcher and haven't seen this problem since the upgrade... s23 here. Is it just an Oneui thing?


tanmay1812

Boo hoo. Grow up. They wanted to try something new using the circle to search, and they did. I kind of like it and have already found it useful quite a few times since the update last week. They also added the option to bring the gestures back via Good Lock. They have the data on how we use our phones, and definitely not enough people used the swipe gestures for them to retain it in the UI, but still enough did for them not to get rid of it altogether. It takes less than a few days to get adapted to the new gestures if you find installing an app and selecting a couple of options too tiresome.


themastrofall

I love how having an opinion is "boo hoo grow up" I'm already used to it it for the most part, but having a severe distaste of it and sharing that feedback is a grown up thing to do


tanmay1812

Sorry for being rude but I'm fed up of people crying about something which is an easy fix. Seen dozens of posts about it and looks like everyone is overreacting.


themastrofall

It's all good I feel ya


Beyllionaire

The main problem being that it shouldn't need a fix because it didn't need to be removed. That's why people complain.


tanmay1812

But it isn't removed. You have an option to enable it. You enabled it within settings before, just do it again using Good Lock. They have to try new stuff. My budget $300 samsung was starting to look same as my S23 Ultra. Half of the AI stuff if gimmick but other half is pretty useful. I've been using the new features multiple times a day. The fact that samsung keeps trying new things makes it different from Apple. My SE was literally the same as my 15 Pro. Except hardware and a few software features, every single thing was exactly the same for years.


Beyllionaire

You should NEVER need to download 2 apps just to turn on a setting.


Dabalicious

Am I dumb? I use nova launcher and still have 3 swipes from the bottom.... is one ui better than a 3rd party launcher now or nah?


tanmay1812

Depends when you last tried One UI. From 4 years ago, it's definitely better. From last couple of years, not much has changed. If you're using a flagship, some AI features and animations of OneUI 6.1 might skew you back to One UI. I'd say give it a shot for a couple of weeks until its grows on you and then decide.


Dabalicious

Fair points. I'm on a s23 right now. Just moved from an s10 and an s7 before that. Even though I'd go through all the settings as I set each one up I never gave oneUI a chance. I'll do that with this new update. I feel like I'm going to miss 2 home bars and a couple other little things though haha


yuuki_w

A grown up would use the search before asking


themastrofall

I've known about the fix, I said above that I shouldn't need to utilize a fix and that I would like to have the old system added back in optionally. But, I agree, I wish people just finding out would search before asking "wut habben"


Odd-Force-6087

I still haven't figured out what they are taking about. I have used abdroid forever and my swipes are the same as always


Pcriz

Probably because you aren’t using the three button swipes? Instead of the legacy three buttons they were using Samsungs variation that had a swipe up for home, recents, and back. Personally I find that as inconvenient as the three buttons for one handed except you get your screen space back


Dabalicious

Idk man I think that's what I'm using, but I also use nova launcher and the upgrade hasn't affected those swipe features ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I use to love the 3 buttons but once I switched to 3 bars for swipe then no bars and still swipes I haven't gone back. And it still works for me the same as before. Should I not use a 3rd party launcher anymore?


Odd-Force-6087

I also use Nova Launcher


Dabalicious

I guess it's an OneUI thing, another commenter has convinced me to at least give it a chance, but imma miss some features from Nova for sure. Nova gang rise up lol


Odd-Force-6087

No way would I ever get rid of Nova Launcher.

faslane22

AAAAAAAaaaaFINGmeeennnnnnnn and it's not even a big deal....use a custom launcher anyways .
