Notification Bar becomes unresponsive - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a TMo N3 model and my wife has an ATT N3 model. Both of us have an occasional issue where our Notification Bar becomes unresponsive for some reason. We have to restart the phone to get the Notification Bar to respond. Anyone else have this issue or a resolution?

I had that issue, but was caused by thw xblast module of the xposed framework, are you using it, if so, thats it

Crap I am using Wanam module in Xposed. That must be the issue. Thanks.

It won't be Wanam unless you have centred your clock?
It'll be a mod via Xposed FW, lot of people have Wanam cause of the Official status including myself, and never no issues with notification bar.

I didn't mess with my clock at all. I did hide NFC, Two Line Date, and Custom Carrier though.

Probably because you have hidden NFC (incidently my NFC doesn't show up at all even when on) and changed carrier stuff. try disabling them and see if that is the issue.

It looks like it might have been the hidden NFC icon. I resorted that back and haven't had the Notification Bar freeze ever since. Thanks for your help tracking it down.

[Q] Can I do these things?

Granted, I've only had the phone for 4 days, and I'm still learning, but here are some things I'd like to do that I'm guessing are probably not default settings. Are there any tweaks/mods to help me?
1) Remove "Sprint" from my lock screen.
2) Prevent the screen from turning on once fully charged. I have it set to never turn the screen off when charging, so this makes the screen stay on forever.
3) Keep the screen from dimming quite so much when staying awake while charging. I plug the phone in while in the car to keep the screen awake, but then it dims down to where I can't see a darn thing.

What state is your device in now? Are you rooted? What rom are you running?
Yeah, I guess that would have been useful information. Sorry.
Rooted with ForceRom 2.1.

Np...not sure about the last 2 on your list. However, it looks like ForceRom does not have Xposed Framework integrated so might try installing it and Nottach Xposed Mod and this will not only allow you to change the carrier message on the lockscreen but do all sorts of other cool stuff.
As always make sure you do a nandroid before flashing Xposed just in case. I don't see you having a problem but never know.

Yupz, what he said. The Xposed framework + the Nottach module can fulfill your #1 and #2 wishes.
As for wish #3, you can probably override that "feature" using an app like E-Robot. It's like Tasker but free and easier to use.
Edit: I just checked my E Robot options and you can create a rule so that when you connect an external power supply like your charger, you can set the screen brightness level whatever percentage you want.
Thanks to both of you. Xposed and Nottach were next on my list of things to do, anyway.
Hmmm....
I've installed the Xposed framework and the Nottach module, and nothing seems to have any effect. I keep getting that warning that it's not made for my phone and then nothing happens. I've tried changing my status bar color, clock color, carrier label, and others. Regular reboot and hot reboot.
What's up with that?
FYI, I'm running ForceRom. Could that be interfering?

Did you got into the X posed Framework app and enable the Nottach module, you have to like check it to enable it in the modules section.
And also when you open up the various options and that little Window pops up with the color wheel and etc, there is a little on/off switch to enable that mod individually as well - you could be setting the color and rebooting but if you don't enable that specific mod nothing will happen.

Ha! That was it. Thank you!
ETA: Should the preview button actually do anything? All it does is seems to nudge my color value slightly.

No problem, and I actually think the preview button is for if you were typing out the color like, ffffff0, it'll show you that color you typed out, that's why when you click preview it always goes back to the original color you started with before you used the wheel to change it.

LockScreen after MM update

First thing I noticed after update is changed lockscreen
Now, on the bottom of the lockscreen, three icons used to be "dialer", "unlock", "camera", but now there are "microphone" on the left where the "dialer" app is used to be.
Is there any way I get "dialer" app back on the lockscreen?
Also I cannot swype left or right on the lockscreen to run dialer or camera, I need to touch the icons and swipe then.

This might half-work:
Shortcut Lock Screen Mod [MM]
I say "half-work" because I don't use it myself and it doesn't mention the swipe part, just replacing the icons.
GravityBox also has the ability to add custom icons (they'll show up under the clock).
settings>>all apps>> top gear icon>> default>> assist and voice>> assist--NONE
and dialer is back.

Thank you very much, that works perfectly !
Although found something else that is weird.
When I turn off WiFi, it used to show me "4G" or "3G" icon next to reception bar, when on mobile data.
After the MM update There is nothing shown there, I have no idea if the data is enabled or not, neither if it is 4G or 3G. Is this something wrong with my device or it is MM "feature" ?
How can I get icon for the data connection back on ?!

If you're rooted you can use gravity box xposed module to show it back. No idea why it happened in the first place
OK sorted the problem.
I went to stock recovery (I'm not rooted) and cleared cache partition, rebooted and now it shows 3G/4G icon when I'm on mobile data.
thanks everyone for the support

Can't get the date and/or day of the week to show up in the statusbar using Wanam

Hi! My I am on 5.0 using the stock Samsung TouchWIZ ROM (I heard you can't dial 911 on custom ROMs on this phone so that terrified me) but anyway I have Wanam Xposed installed and it has an option for displaying the date in the status bar along with the time. The time only shows up. Not the date. If I tell Wanam to move the clock to the center, it will do that, which is weird because it has SOME control over the clock but cannot seem to get the date up there?
I also installed GravityBox and surprisingly a lot of features work however, just like Wanam, I can't seem to get the date and/or day of the week to show up in my status bar.
Anyone know what's going on? Thank you!
Not all features work. That's known.

I have the same problem! So if you have an answer, please post it here!!

I don't mean to sound dumb but why would it be an option then? I thought the point of Wanam was to make options available that worked with Samsung phones.
I am not complaining. I am just confused as to why the option would be there then. Similarly, some options using GravityBox work just fine that aren't in Wanam, such as adjusting the brightness by swiping across the statusbar and clicking back twice to enable/disable screen rotation.

Black bar in Snapchat?

Hey guys, I was wondering why there is a black bar in Snapchat where the navigation keys would be. The bar disappears when I open a chat with someone and remains hidden as long as I keep the app open. I have the on-screen navigation keys turned off as I use gesture controls on my Nexus 6P.
If someone has figured out how to get rid of this annoying black bar, please let me know.
ikr, its so annoying... i think its cuz of xposed or snappereffs probably

Snapchat always assumes you have a navbar running. Doesn't matter that you disabled it in your case. The new snapprefs module update probably coming soon has a feature to disable it. Otherwise, that's just how the app is programmed.

I should have known, it really is a poorly made app. Eats up my battery like crazy and crashes all the time. Where did you find this information about the new feature in snapprefs? I think I have to give it a shot when it is released.

It's noted in his github. Prefs definitely makes the snapchat experience nicer imo.
change your phone model number from build.prop to htc10 or oneplus 3 , that way snapchat will assume you are using a phone with hardware buttons and you will get rid of the black bars and also cropped video and photo. I have posted something about this problem, you can check it on my posts.

Navigation buttons shifting closer together?

Hello, is anyone else experiencing their navigation bar buttons shifting closer together? If so, please let me know the necessary steps to prevent it from happening. Please note, a restart does nothing. Only by going into settings and changing the navigation bar arrangement but i do not want to keep doing that. Thanks.
It's to prevent 'Screen burn-in'.

Ok, but isnt it supposed to go back after a certain amount of time? Because it does not go back to its original spot.
That's very odd, I've never seen this before. Do you have any statusbar mods installed?

No i do not have any mods on the navigation or status bar. I am using a different launcher (Lawnchair). Ill try and use touchwiz for a few days and see if i can replicate the problem.
