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.
Sometimes just a simple phone restart can do a lot. You could also try changing the navigation mode to gestures and then back to buttons which should force update the navigation bar position.
At this point I just switched to gestures permanently. Took me a few hours to get accustomed to it.
Yeah, but that is not an op's desired solution. I think he/she is aware of the navigation gestures option.
That is the OP
I was but I discarded this option when I bought the pixel, and I didn't think about it since. I have switched to gestures and am trying to acclimate to it. So far, it's acceptable.
Ouch!
