Navigation keys not working

remoteguru

I'm using using Teamviewer app on a Pixel 4a with Android 11 to control another Android phone (V8), using QuickSupport.

In the controlling teamviewer app the icons for the navigation keys (home, back, last apps) are shown, but pressing has no effect.

And help or ideas welcome, thanks !!

Hello again @remoteguru,

I just spoke with our mobile team and this is, unfortunately, a known issue affecting some Samsung devices.

Samsung is already working on a fix. The fix will be released through a firmware update.
Unfortunately, we cannot give you an ETA when this release will come.

Please make sure you update your device regularly: Check for a software update on your Samsung device 

All the best ?

Could you tell us what is the exact model of the Android device you are trying to connect to?

Many thanks in advance.

This is not only a problem with Samsung phones. I am having the same issue on a Motorola. this tells me it might not be about the phones.
