Dead Zone Status Bar - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

Yes, it seems there are problems.. i hope so!
Now install an app a day until i find the one responsible.

did you ever find the issue? ... my nexus 4 has also all of a sudden lost touch on the top and bottom 80 pixels.... i just reflashed to stock and it still has the issue?!!? is there an app i can use meanwhile that will open the status bar?

have you found ?

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

Customizing?

Hey all, I unlocked/rooted my phone and I'm wondering if there's anyway to customize which settings are in the notification bar? I'm hesitant to install a new rom because the stock rom has been solid, and I had less than stellar results on past android devices when using custom roms (random fc's, slowdowns, etc, even with CM).
Anyway, I basically want a quick flashlight toggle, and maybe put a few more quick settings options in there. Would it require a new rom?

Thanks, another question... what about customizing the unlock screen? Like dragging the slider up opens voice search and left opens camera?:good:
Install battery widget reborn, it has nice notification area, with flashlight, wifi settings, bluetooth, data sync, pretty much everything you have in quick settings

I'm pretty sure that it would require a ROM to put it on the lock ring but there's a camera lockscreen widget and you can touch and hold the nav bar on the lock screen to get search

OP, this is a Nexus. You won't find more functional ROMs. Just pick one and flash it.

Sprint GS4 - Rom 'Rootbox' Help

Just recently flashed Rootbox rom and it's not a bad rom at all. Loads of customization along w/ all bloatware removed although the onscreen nav bar buttons are insanely annoying. The onscreen buttons take the place of your capacitive buttons at the bottom of your phone. Since they take up precious screen real estate I'd love to see them gone but can't seem to find anywhere in settings that allows me to deactivate the nav bar. I'd really appreciate it if somebody could help me solve the troubling issue... Thanks!!

1) Where did you get Rootbox from? I haven't seen it posted on XDA.
2) You should probably ask in the thread where you got the rom.

Solution
I uninstalled Rootbox and instead flashed Triforce which is an alright rom but too similar to Jellybean 4.2.2. I also found out how to remove the onscreen buttons (Hold down power, Disable expanded desktop). Well, I thought I had fixed it until there was no status bar up top (Bar on the top of your screen that includes, Battery, Wifi, Network, Clock). Only way to see that status bar that I had found was to enable expanded desktop which brought back the onscreen buttons...You see my dilemma?

Note 3 Widgetlocker problem

Having a problem with Widgetlocker on my Note 3...
Installed Widgetlocker via direct purchase from teslacoilsw.com. Software is installed & basically 'works', but I'm unable to pull up the Add menu via long press. Tool mode and/or lockscreen...neither pull up the Add menu. What's strange is I get some haptic feedback during long press in tool mode and if I tap around a bit & can get random stuff to happen (like adding an app shortcut to the screen). It's like the menu is 'there' but it's not visible or something. Any suggestions?
Reinstalled & all's good now...nm. (mods, delete post if needed)
~thx
Hi,having the same problem...for my case if you used custom wallpaper then the add menu is like hidden behind the wallpaper,maybe you need to check using custom wallpaper first
Sent the dev an email and he's looking into it. I found that using an alternate wallpaper doesn't do good either.

Would love to be able to send the developer and email. After figuring a way to install on the Note 3, since it shows unavailable for Note 3 on "play" - now I have the pull down notification bar sitting "behind" whatever I add to my Widgetlocker screen...making the pull down virtually unusable...maybe if you could tell me how to submit this to developer...?

On the play store I believe there is a link. As a work around I hide the notification bar and use Dashclock. I also think the dev just became a "daddy" so we may have to wait a bit.

I was wondering how you could hide the lockscreen notification bar.
I am using nova launcher prime and that easily lets me hide the homescreen notification bar but I couldn't figure out how to disable it on lockscreen.

Well you can hide it with Widgetlocker. Just check the settings.

Icons reappear slowly after hitting home key

After using apps (no specific one) and hitting the home button to go back to the home screen, my background is blank then after a second or 2 all my icons appear. Anyone else have this happen? It seems to have started yesterday or day before. Just wondering what could cause it. I know it does it when I clear memory under "Task Manager>RAM". But this seems to be happening more and more.
Edit: I noticed that the screen will black out with my led blue and will not come on till I do a battery pull. This has happened about 3-4 times so far. Any ideas......anyone.....anyone

What's your current setup? Stock/Rooted? What tweaks/mods have you done? What apps do you have installed?

yes, stock rooted, note 2 hidden features, xposed installer, wanam xposed, flash gordon, notifyclean, xquick settings, 5x4 launcher, isis root bypass, pen window manager, titanium backup, sqlite, with other basic and stock apps, some apps are frozen like amazon and verizon bloat. I'm using a couple of Gunthermics inverted themes to google play, mms and maps as well.
Could be any one of those mods, my friend. I know it'll be a pain but can you disable most if not all? Start with the 5x4 launcher, then Wanam

[Q] moto x solid navbar?

After I updated to KitKat on Rogers network I realised I gained a translucent status bar but lost the translucent navbar... Is that the case for everyone ?

Have you restarted? Could just be your launcher too. Reset cache on the launcher, try data if that doesn't work. Last resort try another launcher (Nova works well for me) to see if it's a bigger issue. If you see transparency in the status bar, you should absolutely see transparency everywhere else it is enabled.
ya still seeing the problem, dont know how i feel about using a launcher app. and i tried rebooting and wiping caches.
