Ok I hate calling it the taskbar because it probably has a certain name in Android, but what is this icon with two down arrows stacked on top of each other? When I tap on it nothing happens, I can't figure it out.
I think you're referring to fullscreen. Seems sometimes those double arrows appear when they don't do anything. Try restarting, and they should disappear.
Also, open up a pdf file or something you know where the program goes full screen, then try clicking the arrow. It should toggle the status bar and make it hide.
It's definitely quirky whether it works or not, but when in apps, it is supposed to hide the task bar. I've had limited success.
yes, that is what its for, to hide the status bar when fullscreen is apply. also make sure to assign a button to make the bar reappear. for me, i have map the home button to bring back the bar.

I've mapped the home button to bring back the bar too, works well.

I noticed this issue after froyo and numerous fresh restarts.
The bottom dock bar of the x(philblur/motoblur) is not working properly. Usually when you switch screens the home button, phone button, and contacts button, slide down and another bar replaces it(the one with the dots representing which number screen you are on). Now what it does is that that the innitial bar never goes away and the screen bar just goes over the first bar and you can see the 1st bar in the backround. This especially looks odd when you go to delete an icon or widget because the trash can just sits on top of the little triangle icon which brings up your apps. Anyone else have this issue and know what the cause or fix is?

Yes. There are a few ways you can do that. The app at http://ppareit.github.com/HideBar/ will allow you to hide the status bar by selecting it from the notifications, and you can show it again by tapping at the bottom of the screen.
The SGT7 Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788518) also gives an option for toggling the status bar if you hold the power button down. I stopped using HideBar after I installed this rom, because I get re-activating the status bar by accident when I had to press the bottom of the screen in a game, and the option for showing the bar when pressing the top and bottom wasn't very responsive.
The Roo case does a pretty good job of covering the Nav bar.
Thinking of trimming 1/8" off just so the Nav bar is usable.
Custom Gestures like these jailbreak tweak on iPhone that I can do whatever I want. For example I can go to home screen by swiping using 2 fingers from the right to left but also if possible it also have an option to hide the navbar or swiping from the bottom to up to show navbar and single tap on the screen to hide it again. I think it would be useful for someone who wants to hide navbar and play games and use applications in fullscreen mode.
examples:
*double/tripple tapping in status bar to toggle on/off the torch
*swiping gestures to open an app immediately anywhere on your screen
*gestures on the status bar to open power buttons(for people who doesn't want to press the button from behind)
I don't know if there was/were an application/mod/rom that have this tweak, but if it is available now, can someone link me to that tweak thread?
Thanks
I've scoured the settings to make the nav buttons on the v20 to remain on-screen all the time, but nothing. Is this possible?
Or is this an issue with Oreo and browsers?
It could be that you have the navigation buttons set to "hide" and they don't play well with the Samsung browser. If the small square dot on the far left side of the navigation bar is a outline only (not filled in) then you are in auto hide mode. Just tap the dot once to change it to always be visible. I'm not saying that this is your problem just offering to you as a possibility to try out.
Also: If they are hidden to start with then the way you unhide them is drag your finger up diagonally from the far bottom left, the navigation bar should now be visible.

Thanks for that drag tip, that's very handy, and my nav bar does have the outline only square dot, but tapping it brings up all the current open apps.
I think that you misunderstood, the auto hide is the one that the red arrow is pointing to. Solid box is visible all the time, outline is auto hide. Tap once to change the state.

Thank you for the pic, I don't have that dot though. Is the layout different between models of the v20 as mine is the H918, or does using a different launcher (Nova) make a difference?
Hello,
I have POCO M3, MIUI Global 12.0.4, android 10 QKQ1. I really like the phone but there is one thing that drives me mad and that is the fact that the status bar with all notification icons is not visible on the lock screen. In the place where the icons should be, there is just the information about the network provider.
I have tried to look for the way to keep the status bar on the lock screen but to no avail. CustoMIUIzer has the option to keep the floating notification on the lock screen, which is great, but I need to see the icons as well. Does anyone know any way how to do it? Any app, EdXposed module or anything? Maybe I missed something?
Thank you in advance.

You can try to go to settings, display, control center and notification shade, turn off the option "show carrier when device is locked", to see if this works.
Edit: I just tried it myself, and with that option disabled, the icons are still not shown on the lock screen.

That's true, unfortunately it does not work... And the worst thing is that just after pressing the power button when the screen is locked, you can see the icons on the bar for just a fraction of a second before they disappear. I would love for them to stay there.
