[Q] AOSP Browser address bar not auto-hiding? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm on CM 10.1 M2, and the address bar on the stock browser doesn't auto-hide at all when I scroll down pages. It has been like this for me for a while now (on CM nightlies prior to this new M2 build), but I'm not fully sure the exact time it started behaving like this.
I've done a search through XDA and the closest thing I could find in relation to this problem is having LightFlow installed - which I don't.
Does anyone have any knowledge of what causes this to happen, or how to fix this?

Strange. Works fine on AOKP. If you don't mind using pie controls for the browser, it will also hide the address bar. menu > settings > labs > quick controls

Tried out the pie controls, not really a fan. Hmm.. Might have to end up factory restting and testing to see if it works without all of my apps being there. But I can't see how that could affect it.

Are you using light flow op?
If so, that is the culprit on why it's not auto hiding.

Yep, I uninstalled lightflow because of the aosp browser issue.

No, I do however have LED settings configured in System Settings... But no sign of Light Flow

Dunno. It works fine for me. Its probably a app causing it for you. When I use Light Flow LED, it disables the autohide.
Uninstall or freeze Light Flow... it hides.

I'm using accessibility for light flow and tasker and it worked when I turned them off.
Damn isn't there some way to get it to work with them being on. Can't really live without tasker n lightflow. I wonder why they conflict with the browser anyway :/

*brainwave* so it's to do with Accessibility! I just turned off the WhatsApp extension for DashClock, and voila .. the URL bar auto-hides.

I know I'm bumping an old thread but just wanted to say thank you for just solving my issue.

Is there a fix for this? Like some kind of flashable zip file that would instruct android to disable all accessibility extentions when the browser is open and reenable them upon changing to a different application?

For me it was also in settings/accessibility app called Floating notifications.. So it seems that everything in this section have to cause it if enabled (yeah, Captain obvious).. BTW. Cm 10.1

Sry for pushing this old thread but I found it through google.
For my this does not solve the problem. I don't have any app listed in accessibility installed and the bar won't hide itself :/

This is still a bug in the most recent CM LP releases. So has not been fixed in 3 years.

Completely disable notification light

Is this possible? There's an app called LEDs Hack in the market but it sucks.
If you use cm7, you can go into settings and disable every light that comes out of your phone, even tweak the dim/notification levels etc. I've yet to see an app in the market do this. Led hacks only kills the bottom lights on my evo I believe.

If you are using a sense rom, you can go to menu>settings >display>notification flash. Unchecked them all. I might imagine that you'd also have to disable settings in 3rd party apps, possibly.

Thanks, but for most apps you can only turn notifications on or off. You can't disable the flashing LED but leave notifications on.
Black electrical tape?
Lisa: Hey dad, that light says check engine...
Homer: Uh oh... the tape must have fallen off.... there, problem solved.

Xylon ROM Mako

Since I am not allowed to post in developer forums, I try it here.
I flashed the latest xylon rom (xylon_mako_017_nightlies-23.zip)
I really like that the whole screen is filled with the live wallpaper. Even the background color of nav and status bar are transparent.
But as soon as I went into navbar settings they aren't fully transparent anymore. They are black with a low transparency.
I didn't change their color just the color of the icons. But it changes by itself. And I find no way to get them back to be fully transparent.
Anybody running xylon and knows what the problem is?
Moreover what do I have to do to be allowed to post in developer forums? Only make more then 10 posts?
thanks
Did you check in Xy settings, General UI, Navbar Transparency? He moved that setting from navbar settings to general ui a few days ago.

Anyone has the bug that if you have voice mail display in the phone app, and when you try to click to play in the phone app, the phone app force closes.
I am on 2.1 stable. Fresh install.
This bug also was in the previous stable release.

Yeah, you can change the transparency for the homescreen area but any time you open an app the navbar and status bar go to black.
I was hoping it would stay transparent everywhere, I'm not a big fan of Pie myself and would rather have clear bars.
I just started using this ROM though, so wasn't sure if that was normal or not.

No the fact that when you plug in the device the LED stays green and when the phone hits 14% and under it will constantly flash a red LED

Notification pull down

I have a weird problem which I am sure others are having also. I have a persistent weather notification in my pull down menu which is always there. The issue is, on the N4, when I receive a text notification it is above the weather notification that is essentially permanent. I would prefer this be below it. See attachment to view what I'm talking about.
So the question is, is there a workaround or fix for this? None of my previous phones had this problem. Thanks
I'm on 4.2.2 btw.

Mine doesn't do that but I use stock texting and use 1weather so maybe its something in Handcent, like a setting to always keep notifications on top or maybe my 1weather app is keep itself on top.
Yeah what's weird is I am using the same apps configured the exact same way as I did on my just replaced GS2. I can't find anything in handcent that changes the order of notification, nor can I in my weather app. I think what I will do is just send a support email to handcent and see what they think. Obviously something in the OS is different. Thanks
Could be something to do with Google Now. Check the settings

I've only had it 2 weeks and it's been like this since I set it up. I'd prefer to not wipe it as I don't think that will resolve it. I fired off an email to handcent, I'll update when I hear back.
What app is the notification from?
Notifications have some sort of priority thing, so Handcents is probably higher than that weather app.
Check both apps for this setting, or email the developer?

Yeah what's weird is I have used both of these apps for a long time on 2 different phones and have never had this issue. The weatherbug is a persistent/always there notification and should have priority to be at the top. There is nothing I can change in either app to change this. I have an email in to handcent to see if they know what the deal is. Never had this issue on my Nexus S or T989 GS2.

Dead Zone Status Bar

I've got a problem..after about an hour of use when I try to bring up the menu notifications, this does not happen .. so I tried to touch and I noticed that the area where the status bar is not detected by the touch, as if she were dead .. i reboot and everything is back to normal .. then after an hour the problem appears again.
I changed the kernel, the rom but the problem is still here. I think that an app cause the problem.. but which one? How i can find it?
Try wipe and try stock rom/kernel
I have already done..
Did you try it after wiping with no added apps?

To use the notification drawer without touching the top bar... U can use gestures to activate the notification bar... Use a custom launcher... I use nova launcher prime and a two finger down scroll to activate the drawer... Cheers

Android Lollipop App Based Notification in Lock Screen

Hi, I am not sure whether there is a solution to this question so far, but as far as I tried to google it, I cannot find a work around.
I have updated to Lollipop 5.0 recently and the notifications in lock screen are impressive. However, I have some persistent app such as Apex Launcher, Profile Scheduler+ that will always run in the background. Some apps have an option to hide lock screen notification but not many have this options (at least those app that i used do not have).
One of the most annoying situation is during my running at night, where I have:-
1. Location Set by GPS (System UI)
2. Notification Status by GPS Status
3. Notification Status by Runtastic
4. Internet Speed Meter Lite (This app has a function to hide itself in lock screen, but sometimes it doesn't work....)
5. Profile Scheduler+ (persistent app)
6. Plus some whatsapp notification...
where i only want to have 1, 3, 6 in the lock screen.....
Is there any "app based notification chooser" in the field? That you can select what app can display notification in the lock screen.
Thanks in advance.
I'm looking for a solution to same issue on my Moto G 1st Gen (Lollipop 5.1)

Hmm, I gotta try this My Android Tools app then, cause since moving to Lollipop this issue has made me crazy! However I mind how the clock and date font becomes small (tiny in fact) when there are other notifications in lock screen more than the number of notifications on LS. Even if those notifications had to be persistent there was absolutely no meaning for the clock and date fonts to go small!

Thanks for your help. It seems we need to wait android or Samsung to provide us this option. I will look into 3rd party lockscreen
You can block an app's notifications altogether in settings.
It would be fairly simple to make an app or script that would enable/disable that, on a timer or something.
To remove certain notifications from just the lock screen, though, would either require modding the desired apps individually, or some rather significant mods to SystemUI.
