Notification bar issues - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a verizon lg g2 and the notification bar wont pull down . However when i go to landscape mode it pulls down fine. Also the Tap to turn on is acting up and have to slow tap or it wont turn on. I have done a factory reset and its still going on. Any help would be much appreciated.

Draw lines up and down your screen with quick memo.
See if you have a dead spot. I'm about to bet you do.

screen won't stay off while: navigation only

Sometimes I want to turn the screen off temporarily to save power while using navigation. Now when I use the power button to turn the screen off, it only turns off for a second, then pops back on. This only is happening in navigation mode - screen will stay off otherwise. Any ideas?
I'm on Orange Glacier with the latest faux123 kernel...tried fixing permissions.
Same thing happens to me. I haven't bothered to check though. Maybe it is made to stay on in Navigation mode.
Check settings in navigation app probably made so you wont accidentally turn it off while driving then have to fiddle with it and risk a crash

Well my bad I guess. It looks like this is how it operates stock too...I could have sworn I was able to turn the screen off during navigation in the past, but must not have been able to.
I have checked and no such setting in default navigation for screen on and off.
I was just guessing I have a seperate GPS and only use nav when I'm in someone else's car and they're lost lol

Same thing happening here since recent update. It's not ROM-dependent, and I haven't figured out how to disable it.
I don't mind if screen timeout is disabled, and actually prefer that, but in this case I'm pressing the power button to turn the screen off and it repeatedly turns back on immediately.

Can't open settings.

Something strange is going on with my N4, every time I try to open my settings it just closes it again almost instantly. Also I've noticed that if I turn off wifi it turns itself back on straight away and then it goes into silent mode for a second (speaker symbol with dash through it) then back to full volume. I've tried restarting it and uninstalling recent apps. I am thinking about doing a factory reset but don't want to if I can help it... But I can't anyway because I can't get into settings! Nothing shows up in virus scans. Screen briefly flashes black regularly too. Any suggestions please? Thanks.

Try going to safe mode by press and holding the power button which will take you to the power menu, press and hold power off option and then you will get a safe mode popup, press Ok and after a reboot check if the settings open.

I can get the settings to stay open in safe mode but still same problem when I restart it again...

Flashlight shortcut from lockscreen?

So I discovered this purely by accident.
I've picked up my phone at night a few times and have blasted myself in the eyes with the light of my camera. It acts light using the widget to toggle it to act like a flashlight. Thinking my phone bugging out I thought nothing about it. But after the 5th time I decided it was a built in feature.
After much trial and error, I have these results:
With your phone on and screen timed out (turned off), press volume up and power at the same time. The screen should turn on, as well as the light on your camera.
To turn off let the screen time out, or press power to turn it off. Then press volume down.
Now I do not know how it works on mine but not my wife's note 3. I'm running stock Rom rooted with no mods.
I will try and figure out how I have this working, but any insight would work too.
Does anyone else have this feature?

I know Wanam Xposed has a feature for using volume up while the screen is off to turn on the flashlight, maybe that's it.

Well we're on this topic. I'm stock rooted on mje. What's the best way for me to add the flashlight function to my phone? I miss having that feature as I've had it on the last 3 phones I've owned.

The post above yours should do the trick. If you're talking about a toggle from the notification bar, I think it is built in most custom ROMs.

[Q] Issues with Active Display and Navigation Bar

Hello! I'd like to say thank you too XpLoDWilD and the other developers involved in this ROM. I think it is truly one of the best around!
I have experienced a few issues, and was hoping someone could direct me in order to resolve them. I am currently using a Nexus 5 device!
First off, sometimes i will randomly loose my entire navigation bar when opening messaging or other apps, and have to shut the screen off and turn it back on in order to see the home button, back button or multi task. I am not entirely sure why it does this, but i am using immersive mode now to see if the issue goes away.
Secondly regarding Active Display, It seems the function wonderfully other then when I initially unlock the phone through the active display or enter a notification through the active display, it then unlocks then my old lockscreen appears for a split second and then finally unlocks my device and returns to my normal screen. It happens all within a few seconds.
If anyone could provide me with some insight or direct me to whom i could bring this issue too that would be great thank alot!
+1 on Point 1 (navigation bar disappearing)
2013-01-08 nightly and before
I have the same where the navigation bar disappears completely at times.
I have the same where when active display shows I've received a message/notification and I chose to go the app that the screen blacks out. If I then press home it goes to program.
I also have where the time disappears from the notification bar. If I switch the screen off and unlock again the time is back.

[Q] screen is on while charging

The screen on my wife's S4 from ATT stays on while charging.
If you press the power button, it'll go away for a while but then turns on again.
Disabling 'stay awake' in developer's options does not seem to help.
Is there any other way to keep the screen off?
Is there a danger of burning the screen?
The phone is not rooted.
Restore default settings may help.
