That does help because now I can pull down the notification shade (with the slide lockscreen). Put on a pattern and try it again, I'm fairly sure it's just an issue with the slide lock.

hahaha it's actually one of the features so you can conveniently and quickly view notifications of texts, emails, etc. If you set a pattern unlock or pin unlock (or any other kind of security), but you won't be able to pull down the notification bar and access the message (because your phone would still be locked).

[Q] Notification LED when screen's ON ?

I don't think this option is available in the stock ROM. I know AOKP and I think CM have it.

Use a different mode of the lock screen... use pattern locked or pin/password lock.
Dont make excuses for bad English... improve it.

[Q] Notification bar on lockscreen

Hi all,
Is it possible to disable the pull-down notification bar on the stock lockscreen? It happens a few times, that my phone wakes up due to a sms, and then gets opened in my pocket due to the notification bar.
Thanks for your advice in advance!

Yeah, in the meanwhile I realized, that if a set a pin / pattern / whatever security, the notification bar will be disabled, though I always used my phone with only the swipe to open lockscreen. Seems I have to change now.
Other option would be widget locker, but that will just get killed at random times (even though I don't use any taskkiller).

Don't enable it in the first place?
OMG i have been enabled it and not realized... Thanks sorry for useless thread.
Sometimes I just have to sit back and wonder how some people managed to root their gadget and install a custom Rom in the first place.
smh
I made the thread because in some apps statusbar was white without enabling TSB and i though it was enabled by default.

Pulling down notification bar problem!!!

Hi you all!
I'm so disappointed that after months there's still no stand-alone app which is able to pull down the notification bar and the quick settings of my device since the Lolliflop upgrade. I've downgraded once (was forced to upgrade again), contacted developers, today Samsung's customer support. What's left to do? Do I really need to downgrade once again? Is it really that hard to write an app like this?! Where are the developers?! Please help!
Many greetings

My suggestion would be factory resetting it.
Is there an app that does this on kitkat? Can u point me in the right direction?
^Search for these terms in the Play Store and you'll find them pretty easily.

Unfortunately they don't work in landscape mode for Note edge. .. [emoji20]
Any ideas to fix?
Really? Well, in landscape mode you can reach the status bar anyway much easier.

Not on note edge... there is no status bar in landscape mode....
This is good because space isn't wasted when for example u r using navigation...
But it would be good to be able to get notification bar down from the edge so that location can be turned on quickly when using navigation...
Thought this app would do it... but only works in portrait.
Can't you just swipe down from the top? What am I missing?
This: one hand use!

Not on the note edge. .. when the edge is at the top in landscape.

Swipe from the middle right edge to the center of the screen and back. It should shrink the screen for one hand use.
Thank you, but I know this gesture already. ?
Conceding defeat on this one. ...
I have the key features I need as shortcuts on an edge panel instead.
I am glad the status bar is hidden in landscape mode. .. means more usable screen area

Doesn't Nova Launcher do this? I have it set that I can swipe downwards anywhere on the home screen to bring down the notifications panel.

I haven't tried this specifically... but not sure it will work when the edge is at the top in landscape mode.
Have you been able to do this on the note edge?
It seems as if the edge blocks the notification panel coming down. ... no matter what app tries to bring it down.

Ah, I see. Sorry, I'm on a standard Note 4 can't help you there
But you could download the free version and give it a try, you never know.
EDIT: Just to confirm it DOES work in landscape mode on the standard Note 4.
Try this app, you can use it to customise the buttons or enable swipe actions to open notification bar etc
