So, I'm using a Pixel 4A, and almost daily, I end up having to reboot because the navigation bar overlaps the bottom of my apps or games, and rebooting is the only way I find to fix this.

Is there another way? Did anyone know? It's getting very frustrating. Sometimes I can't do very basic things because of this.

i would recommend you to use gesture navigation, its simple yet feels amazing

That's not what op was asking for though

i mean..., it still count as fix right... but you will have to get used to it so its probably more difficult

[–] Trollivier 6 points 1 year ago

I did this. It'll take some time to get used to it, but it's better than status quo.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

No it doesn't. It doesn't actually fix the issue, it's giving up and using an entirely different navigation system.

nothing people love doing on tech forums more than telling someone their question is dumb, and given them an answer to something they never asked.

If they allowed gestures and the three buttons concurrently, I'd use it.

But not having the buttons at all is a deal breaker.

there's also the 2 button navigation which is basically what you're describing. I used that for a few months and that allowed me to transition to gesture navigation
