I'm honestly not sure how you're doing it. I gave 'the middle' as an extreme example. I think I can drag from 5/6's of the way over and it's still fine. I believe you're literally dragging from the edge and then yes of course... it will get confused with a drag from the edge to go back...

I'm not saying I don't ever do something like this, but when I do I usually realise and glide my thumb back over and release. I also then don't blame the UI, I realise I just had my thumb too close to the edge :)

I did a bit of a search for how big the gesture zone is and found this -

Honestly, come on. Surely those are tiny and if you're scrolling but start that far to the edge of the screen, it's not a UI issue?!

It's quite interesting actually. On the page that has that image there is some discussion that apps can exclude a portion of the edge from being 'back' so they can use it for their apps, but it cannot be taller than 200dp.


Wow I never kenw there was a home gesture area (serious) - thanks!

anyone else ordered the wireless pixel charger? £70 seems a bit of a bump but thought I might as well with my £60 store credit.

Dial *#*#4636#*#* which will bring up a secret menu, go to Phone information and under "Set preferred network type" to LTE/TDSCDMA/GSM/WCDMA. Default is NR/LTE/GSM/WCDMA if you want to change back.

This has worked an absolute treat for me. I've had nothing but problems with my 4 and 5g dropping and sending me to a H+ signal. After I've did this it hasn't dropped once on me.

Swapped my Spigen Thin Fit case with a cheap TPU case, and I'm no longer getting touch screen problems. The side edges on the Spigen when I placed my thumb on the edge sometimes made contact with the screen, making the phone think I was making contact there. It's also no longer in the way, so doing the back gestures with lowered sensitivity is no longer an issue.

No update here yet either. I was just ordering some more cases on aliexpress and on the cases I have ordered they now have extra options "Pixel 6XL and Pixel 6A" along with Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Interesting....
