Oh, I think this is related to Android 13 and the way the shortcut is created in Quick Cursor. I just tested this on Pixel 4 XL Android 12 and it works, but it doesn't work anymore on my S22 Ultra with Android 13.

As a workaround, you can use the 1.18.2 version from here, but I don't know how the backup will work from version 1.18.4 to 1.18.2, maybe if you have a previous backup: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sergi...-one-handed-mode-1-18-2-android-apk-download/

The version 1.18.2 has targetSdkVersion: 31 which seems to not cause a problem on Android 13.
In 1.18.3 I updated targetSdkVersion to 33 and in combination with Android 13 it seems that the shortcut creation doesn't work anymore.

I will investigate and fix the issue in the next update, probably a few days because I'm currently finishing another new feature and I will do the release together.

Thanks again for reporting!

Thanks, that works and no the settings were not restorable

If it would be easy, would it be possible to change the location that the tracker appears at?

Unfortunately there is no way to configure that. It is always displayed in the center of the "tracker move area".

I can confirm that I found and fixed the issue. For any Android developer who needs to support Android 13, the issue is explained here: https://medium.com/androiddevelopers/making-sense-of-intent-filters-in-android-13-8f6656903dde

It will be included in the next update. Thanks for reporting it!

Hi, I've released the new version: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sergi...-one-handed-mode-1-19-0-android-apk-download/

It is under approval on Google Play Store. You can wait to get the update in a few days from store, or install it from apk mirror. It should contain the fix and other new feature

Why does the display of tabs in Chrome change when Quick cursor is enabled. Before and after.

There is a fix for this issue: https://github.com/micku7zu/QuickCursor/issues/2

Go to Google Chrome Settings -> Accessibility -> Disable "Simplified view for open tabs".

Just found this app and it's fantastic, this is almost what I want because the pixel 3 replacement phone I got is still too big to navigate one handed since I have a short thumb.
Thanks for making one handed use possible, I can' express my frustration that even the "smallest" phone nowadays is too big for one handed use and I refuse to use two hands outside of typing.

Thanks for feedback and for trying the app! I'm glad you like it!

Just a few things I wish it had. I want the "trackpad" to be always active, as in takes up space at the bottom so I don't need to swipe to activate it, I don't care for the "loss" of screen space if I can't reach anything regardless, similar to the trackpad mode with the samsung flip.

This can be achieved, but only on the PRO version of the app . The tracker can be set to not hide automatically, so it will always stay on.

I wish there was a payment method that doesn't require the play store, using microg and I had issues getting the play store to work, happy to upgrade to pro but play store only is difficult for those like me that doesn't want the officlal play services, it always drains my battery too much so anything to avoid it for me is better.

I understand and I got this feedback from multiple users that don't want to have Google services on their phone. It is a reasonable request that makes perfect sense.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find a good solution yet about how to make a license system that doesn't use internet connection. I don't want to add any network requests in the app because I said so when I started the app. I don't want the app to be suspicious about what data it sends or not over the network, so the app doesn't have any network requests at all.

Hello everyone,

First of all, I want to say that your app is amazing and I really enjoy using it! I've been using it on my previous phone and now on my s23 ultra.

I've encountered a small issue on my new device though and I guess there is a solution for that but I'm not sure how to tackle it.

For some reason, the "start app" toggle turns off sometimes and when i try to turn it on, i get a message from the picture in the attachment"

Also, when using camera, on my previous device (s21 ultra) I was able to activate the cursor, and on my new device i'm no longer able to.

Could you please help me out with that? Thanks!

The app reacts to the lockscreen on/off to disable/enable Quick Cursor on the lockscreen or when the screen is off. This is the first time someone reported this issue, that the lockscreen is not correctly detected.

Somehow the app thinks the device is still locked. Do you have a lockscreen? Do you have a password/pattern/fingerprint lock or not at all?

I have an S22 Ultra with the same OneUI 5.1, and everything works ok inside the camera. Can you enable Quick Cursor Settings -> Debug -> Debug visuals and see if the triggers disappear inside camera app?

Thanks!

I've never had this issue before too. My s21 ultra is also updated on oneui 5.1 and it works just fine there.

I have multiple unlock methods set up. Fingerprint, face and pin. Lock settings are set to lock instantly with power button.

When i enable the debug visuals option, the handles appear in the camera app and cursor works fine. As soon as i disable that, it doesn't work in the camera app anymore.

If you'd like me to check anything else, I'll gladly do it.

Hi there, I would like to purchase a lifetime license. Is this possible without the Google Play Store? Nothing happens after pressing the button (QC Pro - Lifetime License) within the app. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

 

[micku7zu]

Hi, unfortunately there is no way to buy the PRO without Play Store. The licensing method is integrated through Google Play Store.

I'm sorry, I understand the need of other method but right now it is too hard to implement/support another method. Sorry!

I think your app is really great and would like to support it by purchasing a pro license. I guess there's not much I can do then. Thanks for your quick reply.

Thanks for feedback and I'm sorry that right now that is the only option. Will post here if I will add something else in the future.

Well, didn't know this app existed. I'm glad I learned of it during the sale because I wouldn't have bought it otherwise. But you can add another purchase to the list!
